leged bank bandits, which is just another way of keeping the old town ou the map. Now after all this talk- about the candidates, will “Black Jack" Pershing walk down the aisle when the band is playing the national anthem and walk off with the prize? The big show is on at Kansas City this week and if the jazz dancers, pole sitters and others want the front page they had better wait until the boys get it over with. Senator Sackett claims that Hoover 1 epresents both big business and the farmer. Some combination and if the corn belt farmers feel the same way Hoover should not have much trouble in putting it over. Don't follow the fire truck when it is going to a fire. The firemen must get there and when you are in the way it hampers traffic and makes it 1 unsafe. Obey the city ordinance and make way for the truck. The policemen at Kansas City have their big automatics straped on the outside of their uniforms, ready for any emergency. If they happen! to wander over towards the convention lia.ll—well, look out. Fort Wayne's new postoffice is to be erected on Harrison street and a million dollar building will be put up by the government. Fort Wayne needs the postoffice and when congress convenes next fall we should remind our congressman that Decatur has a postoffice site and is also entitled to a new building The illness of Mrs. Coolidge has prevented the President and Mrs. Coolidge from leaving Washington for their summer home in Wisconsin. Much sickness has befallen the president s family since they moved to the White House and he is no doubt worrying more about the health of Jiis good wife, than the outcome of the republican convention at Kansas City. You can have it anyway you want, but by next Saturday the big show should be over and then you'll know if your guess is any good. Some believe Hoover will be nominated on the first couple ballots, while others believe the convention will deadlock itself and after Mellon pulls the wires that either Dawes, Lowden, Watson or even President Coolidge might be the republican nominee. The republican state chairman and other republican leaders have put the party in bad in Indiana. Through their hatred of Hoover they have resorted to all sorts of tactics and have Nsued statements saying that if Hoover is nominated, Indiana cannot hope to remain in the republican column. They may feel that way but the citizens have' about a thousand other reasons why a change should be made and the state government cleaned up. Go to it boys. Our congratulations are extended to the graduates of the Decatur Catholic high school. These young men and women, who through hard work

and diligent application to their studies reached the goal of their ambition In school work deserve the help and encouragement from the older folk. Now is the time when they will appreciate a guiding hand. Miss Margaret Voglewede, who delivered the salutatory and Mr. John Dowling, who gave the valedictory address at the commencement exercises acquitted themselves with honor and made their relatives and friends feel proud of them. Their talks were inspiring and fitted the occassiou admirably To all the graduates we wish them success and happiness, whether it be in Institutions of higher learning, in business or in the home. eg— -■ J- ■! .1- .RWB This is an electrical age.

It suggests revisions should be made to protect agricultural products to whatever extent is necessary. Its contents will not be made public officially -.mil it has been appr ved and-perhaps changed by the plat form committee which plans to sit all night tonight to prepare the final draft The farm plank is the only one over which a serious contest now is in prospect. Twenty-seven farm organizations headed by the American farm bureau federation have sei ved notice on the convention that the equalization system must be approved or the party will | appear before the committee through representatives ami demand such. a plank. The signs, however,’are not enc imaging to their enterprise.

GEIST “Konjola ended my rheumatism and restored my health |n genera! after a Drug Stope shelf of other remedies failed,” said Mrs. A. Geist’s statement. She lives at 2914 Holden Ave, Fort Wayne, Ind. “The rheumatism pains centered in my arms and legs. The joints in my legs were stiff and swollen and out of proportion. I couldn’t bend my fingers to lace my shoes. I coufd hardly move at times and everybody locked upon me as a cripple. Even baths and other treatments failed to he’.p me and finally I had to go to bed because my feet and legs were practically useless. I also suffered with stomach troube and was always in misery after meals. “A few days ago I started with Konjola and there was a remarkable change in my whole system. Within a week my stomach was in a good condition. Then, the rheumatism began to ease up and now there is not a single ache or pain anywhere in tny body. Konjola is a Godsend to sutferers if they will only give it a fair trial.’’ Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith. Yager & Falk drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this section.

The Biscuit and the ad THERE’S a blank sheet of paper lying white on tht window sill. A can of baking powder rests on it, and a white, fluffy pinch of the powder itself. Taste it. It seems good. Yet you’d have to consult your chemist to make sure it is good. And have to mix that powder with flour, milk, eggs—make biscuits, cake with it—to make sure how good it is. Then keep it: month, try it again, to make sure it continues good. Yet if that sheet of paper were an advertisement about baking powder—you’d see a name that stand for quality and purity. You’d road about the fluff* cakes and biscuits that that powder makes—and will continue to make. You’d know more about that powder than if you hekl the can in your hand. Advertisements are short-cuts to finding ontruths. The truths about everything you want to buy. The names in advertisements are names of solid reputation. The labels in advertisements ar symbols of satisfaction. It pays to read the advertisements, for then you know what is good. Th» products they tell about are being bought, tested constantly. The fact that they’re still being advertised is alone proof of their worth. An ea.sy, frequent glancing over these adverti.ing columns is better than fallen biscuits, sogg' cakes—and other failure buys. If you know what’s advertised, you can buy always what’s good. Buying advertised products cancels risk. Decatur Daily Democrat — - -- ' .
