Scbeerer, Inc.. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 3ou Fifth Avenue, New Tort Those fellows who are claiming Indiana the dryeat state have surely never been in Muncie, Gary, Evansville or Fort Wayne. They are forced to try the Michigan degenerate who murdered a little five-

year-old girl while they are speeding him from town to town to keep the ; mob from lynching him. if they ever get a flat tire, look out. We are showing the largest re-' newal list in the history of the Daily Democrat so far this month and we are hoping it will continue. The 1 paper starts its twenty-sixth year? with every indication that we will ' continue to have the loyal support of j the people of this community and 1 county. We want to serve you. — 11 Each day wo receive letters from Ii former Adams county people who are : < anxious that Old Home Week be cele- i brated this year. They want to come back where they used to live, see the folks, hear all the news and tell us 1 how they arc getting along It can 1 lie made a big event if every body j' here will just joint in a little. —...- Adams county has ten solid banks, managed by courteous but careful i men. a mighty fine thing for the county, yach institution complying i strictly with the state Wiws and each protected by every possible safe guard which goes with good banking. De-' | IHisit your money with them where it i is safe and where it will grow stead- i >iy. i ————— i Its going to bo unusually dull in Muncie this summer for Judge Bait i zell of Hie federal court has just sent i King Pete and Queen Node, who are i

really Mr. and Mrs. Barlow, monarchs of Muncie's underworld, to prison. 1 Pete drew two years at Leavenworth ’ and Node one at the woman's prison,; ' Indiana polls, for operating a nuisance ' and handling liquor. For many it will hardly seem like the old place’ if what we hear is trne. " L j 1 It pleases us that our old friend, I 1 M. Me Stoops, better known here us •'Duke,” is a candidate for the legis- i 1 lature. He is a high grade man in , every way, who may lie depended upon to honestly perforin the duties • of that important place for the best interests 6( the people <gf his county and state whom he loves sincerely, "e hope he will be nominated and that the voters of Pike and Knox counties send him to the text session by a big majority. , Charles Jewett, a former mayor of Indianapolis, lias announced that he ‘ is a candidate for the republican npminutlon for governor. Ffe wants i to clean things up in this state. We afiinit the scrubbing job a nmessary one. but doubt whether Jewilj with! itis political connections is >l4 man for that Job. He will have plenty of opposition in the primary no <lojibt i and before they are through they will be telling plenty of stuff which oughtj to be good for campaign purposes ini the fall. ‘ . I Now the republican councUmen who | voted 1,. Eit Black into office to sue ceed John L. Duvall, have been stricken with remorse as.they discover that Slack is not permitting them To lead him around by the nose add have startl'd action to remove him. As wo understand the Jaws, it takes

I more than a motion in council meet- '; ing tv remove a man from office. It would seem that he is there to stay unless ho can be impeached. Anyway the war in the capitol city goo# ■ merrily on. • : -aAdolph Hoteling who has confessed ' to the murder of little Dorothy Schneider, was considered a perfect | citizen. He never drank or smofted ] or swore, never lost his temper, was ! indulgent with his wife and children, 'a church member und but recently made an elder and yet it is said he is believed to have committed several crimes. Its difficult to understand unless something just came loose in that strange machine we call the brain. A father and sou banquet is always a fine thing for the community aud the oftener these occur, the better for both (he fathers and the sous, it is so easy to drift away from your boy and to have him get to feeling that he is not in your confidence. Keep him close, teach him so he may avoid the errors he is almost sure to make unless properly guided. That was the spirit of the meeting held this

week by the Knights of Columbus which was from every angle a complete success. x The third thrift message from the three Decatur banks, the People's Loan & Trust company, the Old Adams County and the First National, advocates a budget for your home, allotting certain portions of your income for certain purposes. Set down your fixed expenses, provide for ' clothing, education and recreation land then fix an amount you will save leach week. If you need advice on the budget problem, go to your banker and be will be glad to help you work it out. Anyway to get the money these days, it seems. We have a circular from some syndicate at Los Angeles offering to sell us a story entitled “Murder Told" by the fox, supposed to be the life of William Edward Hickman, the young half-wit who committed such a terrible crime a few weeks ago. It is the claim that the story is now being told to Frank Dewar, county jailer in Los Angeles, who will turn over a portion of the profits to the “grief stricken and needy mother of Hickman." We presume such business is strictly within the law but those who are thus engaged must be hungry for money. There is entirely too much of this blood curdling recital of criminal life and action and it should be suppressed for the good of every one.

Preliminary moves for Hotelling's trial were disposed of ate yesterday when the slayer was irraigned in an automobile in which le was driven into Genessee county, teene of the crime, front lonia, where he is held. Under Michigan law. a murderer must be arraigned in the county in which the crime was committed. Fear of mob violence prevented luthorities taking Hotelling to Flint, ‘he county seat.

He was placed in an automobile, ind driven across the Genessee county line and held the arraignment tn the car, then they sped back to the state reformatory here. It was believed Hotelling would be brought to trial in lonia circuit court.

CHILDREN PRAY FOR 550 MOLES — Children Os Former Decatur Woman Beseach Safety i For Animals On Ship | The following story which appeared in the Sunday issue of the Fort | Wayne Journal-Gazette, is herewith reproduced, due to the tact that It has a local significance, the principals having been former Decatur citizens The story is as follows. ‘Prayers for the safety of suo mules which are sailing the high seas are given every night by little Bobby ami Roma Merryman, of Portland. Ore. I “That is the story given to a Jour I nul-Gazettc representative by Mrs Frank F.

INTEREST IN REVIVAL GROWS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) with the life of Jesus. The people in the church are the means whereby Jesus builds His kingdom. Jesus is not now bodily on earth, but the people are His means of service. Through the people the lips of Jesus ipeak. His feet walk and His hands toil. Christian people are the body of Jesus Christ.

BACKACHES WERE SLOWLY KILLING ME "I was almost laid out with the terrible n?*n b un d stitches in my

back. I had just about i given up hope of getting relief when a neighbor gave me a hottie of 'St. Jacobs Oil' to rub on my back. I got immediate relief and have enjoyed perfect comfort since. 1 ' It’s a pity that everyone with Backache, L u m b a g o , Rheum ati s m an d Neuritis doesn't know about “St. Jacob's Oil"

Its action is amazing. Without burn ing or blistering (he skin, it penetrates to the affected part and draws cut the pain like magic. If you want to know what relief is, go to Jour druggist and get a small trial bottle of "St. Jacob’s Oil” aud apply it to any aching sixit. Sage Tea Turns Gray Hair Dark By SHIRLEY BLAKE
