It looks like those opposed to the •execution of Sacco and Venzetti will "just have to keep on striking as long jis they feel lite it. The two men are ‘to be executed early tomorrow, according to plans. The women of the United States spend $-750,000,000 or an average of about $15.00 each, annually, for cold cream while the average person consumes but $9.00 worth of butter per year. While the scientist insists •that butter and milk products are* nature's greatest beautifiers the man- . ufacturers of cosmetics have evidently out advertised them, thus increasing the demand for their products. The Adams County Witness declares the belief that democrats will carry Indiana next year for the state ticket but urges Senator Gottschalk to become a candidate for secretary of state rather than for governor. It is of course a matter for Thurman to decide for himself but for the gotod of Hoosierdom we insist that he is particularly trained and fitted to be the chief executive and that 1928 is the golden opportunity when his friends can place him in a position where he can best serve. Fred Rohrer of Berne does not agree with the supreme court in their decision that Rev. Shumaker is guilty of con'empt and must serve sixty days in the penal farm and pay a $250 fine. In his issue of the Adams County Witness of Monday he broadsides the statement that Mr. Gilliom brought about the conviction of Shumaker so that his , brother-in-law, Abe Boegiey might have Kompany but the decision was delayed so long that Abe.got home ahead of it. 1 seems a little far fetched but indicates at least an -unfriendly feeding toward “the powers that b<’.” in an editorial the Witness says the three fifths decision was in accord with the one against George Dale, that “truth is no defense." A card on a free towel case where the public is permitted gratuitously to wash its hands reads, “Why use two towels when one wipes dry.” That is a question worth considering with respect to all “free" things. The unthinking say, “Use all you want of that, it is free.” But only the selfish and the unthinking will so reason. There are few things in this world that are free in the sense of being without cost. Somebody pays for the towels; somebody pays the man who brings the towels and puts them into the case; somebody pays for every service, else the servant can not continue to serve. And when careless people deface the walls of public buildings or waste or misuse other tilings that are offered freely for public use and enjoyment, everybody must pay. The wrong and injustice are not less because the cost of the carelessness and waste is spread widely. —Goshen Democrat. Six tattered battle flags, born by a squad of marines, caused considerable comment last week. The nation that gave birth to the flags is dead, the marines who carried them are soldiers of the army they challenged but their restoration is emblematic of the reunion of divided states. Governor R. O. Brewster, of Maine, at the closing session of the governors of the states, held in Michigan, presented the captured flags to Governor Richards, of

[ South Carolina. Each one of them 'had fallen Into the hands of Maine soldiers during battle but the era of good will has come and so the trophy cabinets of this Northern state were stripped of captured flags in order • that they might be returned to the ’ Southern states In evidence of "great , good feeling.” This is not the first iime that such a return has been made, but the dramatic scene, as Govj ernor Brewster delivered hie flags, i will not be soon forgotten. It serv--1 es to emphasize again the great re- ; union which has blessed the people 1 of the United States, and demonstrates the friendly thoughtfulness that prompts such restorations. —Vincennes Commercial. She was a very tired old woman, who looked like sh« always had been old and tired. And she was going along the street pulling a child's express wagon on which was a basket of clothes, which evidently she had laundered for another. But as she was crossing the road the basket fell off while automobiles sped in two directions, and she was confused and afraid to move, and | nobody in any of the glittering cars offered to stop and help her. Near; her, upon the sidewalk, three small boys were playing “pass” with a baseball, and two of them laughed at the tired old woman's predicament, but ~the third went out into the street where she was, and he raised his cap to her. and he helped her get her basket upon the little wagon. Then he pulled it across the street to the sidewalk and to safety, again raised his cap as though the tired old woman were his partner in a dancing class, and went back to the other boys, who by now were looking rather sheepish, and resumed playing ball. In the school that he attends this third boy has the reputation of being pretty “dumb” and he is the despair of his teachers. The buys, too, say he is handier with his fists than he should be. But be those things as they may, he has sonnThing in him that books and masters can not teach —a something that is finer than spun gold.—Lafayette Journal-Courier. *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥** * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ¥ ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ «¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* August 10—United States Steele corporation decides-to spend $45,000,000 at Gary.

Eley With hearts filled with sorrow, and yet rejoicing that we have had the pleasure of having been associated with her for so many years, the members of the Decatur Public Library Board in this way record the passing of one of our members. Mrs. Mary C. Eley. Early Sunday morning. August the Seventh, 1927 the cheery soul of Mrs. Eley quietly slipt away from the cares and scenes of this earth to that distant, silent shore where dawns eternal peace. In October, 1913, Mrs. Eley was appointed a member of the Decatur Public Library Board, and conscientiously faithfully and efficiently served as such until her death: dining all of that time she was a member of the book committee and her ability as a student of good literature, her knowledge of histoiy, science and art, and her love for the Library made her a most valuable member. In her passing the Board has lost a loyal member and the community has lost a friend whose life enamated sweetness and sympathy, and a desire to cheer and refresh the troubled We shall miss her presence and her assistance, but will always cherish a memory of one who scatterfed rays of kindness about. Therefore, be it resolved, that we extend to the family of Mrs. Eley our sincere sympathy and condolence ih their bereavement, and that a copy of this resolution be presented to them.
