Swat the flies, do it now and do it thoroughly. Cut the weeds. Don't say you did cut them a couple ot weeks ago. Remember that with the frequent rains, they come right back and it’takes some work to keep them trimmed down. Its important the next fewweeks. Clean up your business front, dress up the house, get the lawn in shape, make Old Decatur look so attractive that every home comer will be sorry he left here. We ought to put on our best "bib and tucker” for this occasion for we are going to have a lot of company. Warnings have been sent broadcast that young men should not go to NewYork to seek jobs unless they have money enough to live on for a year or two. The notices from the Welfare Council say the big city is no place to be without friends, a job, relatives or a bank account. Oh well, for that matter where is a good place to be when a fellows that much out of luck? Are you reading the letters from the folks who formerly lived here and who have been made glad by receiving an invitation to come? They are happy to have been remembered, many wonder how we got their names and addresses and hundreds are coming for the big week. It should be a worth while event and will be. Won't you help put it over a hundred per cent? - Morris Daugherty, famed as the , legless, one armed aviator, is in New York City to tell Governor Smith how he can carry West Virginia for president. He has taken straw votes, in- > terviewed hundreds and declares a ’ little missionary work will turn the trick. Daugherty says his state is . ’ ready for a democratic victory, having waited long enough for a return > to normalcy that they are convinced will never arrive until some thing is done. A few days ago Spencer Penrose, . Colorado millionaire and outstanding republican leader came out flat footed and strong for Governor Smith. That incident was followed by Fred Hoffman, Cheyenne capitalist and a • Wyoming leader whose statement declares that for the first time in his • life he will next November vote for a democrat for president. He is for Smith because he is against hypocrisy. Thousands will follow these , men in the west as well as every where else. Governor- Jackson should always feel kindly toward the Republican Editorial Association. After he has been “kicked and cuffed” about for a couple of years, almost barred from the national convention and severely let alone by republicans, individually and collectively, the editors finally gave in and permitted him to make a speech at their recent Corydon meeting. Ed talked about, his administration, omitting any reference to his famous horse, to his visit with Mr. Walb, to the Coffin machine, to his friend, Mr. Stephenson, and a lot of other things that would have secured for him more front page publicity than he received.

We don’t care what your idea of P Decatur may be as a place in which to live, but every time we visit other places aud then return, this city looks better to us. No where will you find F' better streets aud sidewalks, no city it this size begins to have the attractive looking street lights, none excell us t, for schools and churches, we have our splendid city plant, a swimming pool, 2 pretty parks, every thing that goes 0 to make up a real town—and in add!I 1 tion we have a number (if good IndusI) tries that keep right on going through J good times and bad, so we can all ) earn a living. Size it up and then compare it and you will agree. One or two industries added now would make this the very best industrial and farm center in the middle west. Lets roll up our sleeves and go out and 1 get them. We can do it folks. . 1 . J! A man whom nobody ever saw has for years been lending money to students, helping small towns to acquire playgrounds, financing poor artists and poets and rescuing from sale homes of widows and orphaus. He did all of this under the name, Jedediah Tingle, with this as a life platform: "To bring smiles and tender thoughts to the great in heart, in high and low places, to comfort and cheer those who do exceptional things or suffer.” Last week this man died in New Yoik and then it was learned that Jedediah Tingle was William E. Harmon, capitalist and philanthropist and endower of the Harmon Foundation, a well established institution. It is related that Harmon as Tingle had aided thousands of persons and causes outside of his foundation. The beneficiaries did not know the source of relief received, but always found Tingle's checks good and his identity protected.—lndianapolis News. - — i Paul Poiret, writing in the August. Forum magazine, tells of his disastrous attempt to introduce short skirts in America. Skirts today are mere shadows of their former selves, yet we think nothing ot them. But fifteen years ago M. Poiret found conditions very different. “My first vtsit to America " fee s?ys, “was in 1212. As you know, they began wearing short skirts in 1913. I brought with me a film which showed the parade of my models in my gardens in Paris. Naturally, all of them wore short* skirts —skirts shorter than those’ ordinarily worn, but much less short than those worn today. I had planned to interest my American public in this new fashion, but the film was refused by the censors and was not passed by the customs officers. It was refused as obscene, because one could see ladies parading with uncovered legs. It is hardly believable today. What must that customs officer think, if he is alive now, when he sees ail women walking along the streets with their skirts to their knees? But he must already be dead from mortification!” Bareheaded college boys, running high into the thousands, are todayout In the world for the first time. Thousands of others are beginning life as graduates of the filling station, the plow, the section gang and the corner grocery. The current summer is a good time to reflect on the subject of opportunities in the U. S. A. Regardless of what the Democrats may think of Herbert Hoover, he began life at the bottom and worked his way through college by wrestling laundry packages while others slept. No matter what the Republicans may think of Alfred E. Smith, he too began life on a low scale, working in a fish market. Looking after the stalled collars and cuffs (they wore them then on Sundays) of co-studer.ts or escorting stiff and frozen fish from place to place did not seem very promising prospects to either of these boys thirty or forty years ago. But the careers of these two men.demon-' strate that America is a land of opportunity. It may seem harder to get recognition and advancement today i than it once was. But countless able bodied opportunities are just sitting } around waiting patiently for the right i person to come along and take j possession of them.—Harry Daniel in t Thrift Magazine. — I will be out of the city from Monday to Sunday, July 29. 17213 DR.

d —I ii Letters From 1 OLD TIMERS M Who’re Coining Home — ' ; 1 Marlon. Ind.. July 2d- 1928 ‘ Mr. Roy Archbold, Chairman l* Decatur, Indiana j My Dear Sir: I herewith acknowledge the receipt of your letter of in-, 1 vltation to the Home Coming w-' 1 -k , at Decatur, September 10 to 15 1928. 4 I am proud of my birthplace. (Adams County, Indiana) ami H gives ' me great pleasure to even think of - meeting and mingling with you during these special days. However, may 1 ask one favor. That * Is that 1 may not lie given any part on i the programs. As I prefer to meet , and mingle with all the people for this one time. Yours very truly, I J. Thomas W. Luckey Toledo Ohio To Chairman of Invitation Committee We have been invited to Come "Home”, No word in our language is half so sweet. We are always glad to see the mail man. He brings us w»>rd from home. There is one place where the eye will make our coming and grow' lighter. When we come. Be it ever so humble there is no place like home. Since out last home coming many changes have taken place. Many whom we have loved have had 1. ng distance calls, and was summoned to their Eternal Home Coming; But those who will 1 welcome us are as dear and cordial. The gields as green, the sky as blue the river flowing as gently as when we drove the cows to Hutt man’s woods, ! and trusted to their hunger instinct to bring them home by milking time Same woods is now- the city of the dead. This was before "Blue Valley , Clover Leaf or Ever Sweet was made. Among my most pleasant memories here are days spent in the school room The boys were a modest ( type, till 111. opening "f sehoo4.always * took a back seat lest cue grpater than himself were invited for the first row. Many of said boys and girls are the representative men and women here now-. We <*■ uld tell many a tale here "out of school” that would make “Our Gang" and Hinkle Berry Finn fade away besides it would be too personal. From this locality have g- lie min inters priests, women garbed as nuns to heed the master's call. We are pround of our citizens whether they be farmers, merchants, bankers and professionals all filling their place in life. Going as far back as the Civil war we have only to Icok at the beautiful and lovely Memorial monument to know what we gave in humanity. We gave our quota to the Spanish-American war when the World war came, <>«■-. brothers sweethearts left Home an?! comforts, to keep this country a fit place to live, many came home, but some sleep in Poppy fields. We trust soon those difficulties will be sttled not by • might, but right. The earliest settlement here was made by the French traders, and missionary!. In 1648 Lasalle explored the Ohio and Wabash valleys. We are a part of a young state. As Indiana was SUFFERED SEVERE STOMACH TROUBLE AFTER EACH MEAL Konjola Restored His Health After A Year Os Awful Misery ■■■ - x® ; *< r MR. C. C. GILLMAN "Konjola gave me such great relief from my stomach trouble that I want others to know about it,” said Mr. C. C. Gillman, 1606 G. Avenue, Newcastle, Ind. "My whole system yas in a rundown condition for at least a year. It was necessary for me to be taking something all the timp to get relief from indigestion pains and gas bloating. Quantities of gas around my heart caused palpitations and shortness of breath, aud on account of constipation,, I suffered a great deal ‘ with headaches und dizzy spells. Every meal meant misery to me ahd I was at a loss to know what else to try for relief. “A friend of mine was so sincere " in his recommendation ofl I Konjola that I gave it a trial. Now, "l am sorry I didn’t get this medicine right at the start. It went to the source of my trouble and restored my health in every w-ay. All the. miseries I 1 suffered after meals are gone and I enjoy a new feeling of health over my whole system.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the I Smith, Yager & Falk drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
