STOP AND THINK: — Every time you buy outside your home town any thing you can get In them, you are fighting yourself. The editor of the Boyleslown, Pa., Intelligencer says lie knows a big town not far from two large cities in which a lew years ago there was not one good store. If the people wanted any thing they had to go to one of the cities. Citizens got together and discussed conditions and the future, decided something had to be done and they did it. Now they have many first class stores and the people enjoy the convenience of getting their goods right at home, just what they want and at less cost. Patronage is constantly increasing because the reputation of the town is spreading and the money remains re the town. More people are employed, no one is knocking the home town, they are a bunch of happy boosters and every body is happy. Now here is the secret —the change was'brought about by judicious and consistent advertising in the home daily newspaper. They secured aid in writing the advertisements, put on “ a dollar day and other events and • within a single year brought the town .. out of the dumps until now it is one . every body in the section talks about. There is no reason why Decatur shouldn't increase its business. This * is a good town, compared to others we have visited recently, its wonderful. but we can make it still better, , increase the annual total business for every one, if we will plan a systematic campaign of advertising and then do It. ' I i • * , A reader in Starke county calls our attention to the fact that a wellknown farm journal with a national ’ circulation sidetracks the main issue pf farm relief and suggests that if the farmers’ taxes were reduced, he could prosper and that he does not need farm relief legislation. The reader wishes to answer by asking the following question: “If by some means the farmers’ taxes could be omitted, so that he wouldn't have to pay a dime, do you think farming would be on a profitable basis? “The matter of equitable taxation is important. It is receiving the attention of the Farm Bureau. I feel a great sympathy for the farmer who said, “Taxes would not be so bad if we just had something to pay them with.’ It is true any kind of taxes at this lime are a burden to our farmers, but when argiculture begins to receive her fair share of the national income again, you will see the farmer take care of his portion of the taxes without any complaint. In the meantime it isn't helping to have a national farm paper which has accepted the responsibility of leadership natural to Its position, trying to lead farm thought off on a tangent, entirely away fiom the main issue.” — The Hoosier Farmer. • ■- -" ■— We don’t know much about the inside troubles at Berne which has resulted in a decision not to support a pageant which was being planned for the Old Home Week celebration there but we certainly can see no wrong in a proper rendition of the historical story of a community. Plans made there would have assured a splendid entertainment and hundreds will be disappointed that they will not be

r TODAY’S CHUCKLE Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 10.—(U.RI— He's broken up more homes than any other man—in 30 years Alvin Snowden has served 20,000 divorce ’• petitions. t ~ permitted to view the pageant. We are Inclined to believe that there is some motive other than objection to 2 a pageant given by the children and J young folks of Berne back of It all, ; but thats entirely up to the citizens ’ of Berne. The only consolation we ) can offer the good folks of that loI callty is a sincere Invitation to come to Decatur the evening of September 11th and enjoy “Adams county, yesteiday and today." At New Bedford, away up in New England, there has been a ten per cent cut in wages of the few who are working in the textile mills and a strike recently called, is spreading rapidly. Isn't that an ill-timed affair, coming just now when a campaign is to be made on the “full dinner pail?’ How could such a thing happen under a Coolidge administration? Whqt is the secretary of commerce doing about it? Pierre, another of the Duponts is about to announce for Smith, it is rumored. Any way he is to retire from the General Motors board and will make an announcement. Officials of that company have declared that they prefer, not to enter politics, which is fair enough if others would take the same attitude. At that we don't suppose there are many folks who care the politics of a car if the price and style suited them. Earl Carroll, whose famous bath tub act landed him in court and then his testimony, proven false, sent him to Atlanta prison, has written a new play which it is said would make those who attended his party that sad night some two years ago, hang their heads in shame and he's getting ! away with it. The fashionable folks really enjoy it and call it art. What funny people we are. A glance at the photograph of Miss Josephine Lauder will convince any one that Gene Tunney "knew his onions’’ when he quit the ring and for those who have any doubt it may be added that Miss Lauder has some fifty million samolios tucked away. They are to be married late this year, it has been announced by the brides mother. Those who thought Germany could not recover from the effects and expenses of the World War may be surprised to know that nearly a thousand business men of that country had incomes of more than a million marks last year, according to the statements from the office of revenue collector. The General Electric company will erect a special tent at the corner of Madison and Second streets and will therein display all of the modern electrical conveniences of the day. It will be the same’show recently given in Fort Wayne and will attract thousands during Old Home Week. Philadelphia and New York are now quarreling over the question of which city has the best conducted speakeasies. If they aren’t careful, the enforcement officers will learn about it and spend another $75,000 padlocking some of those which haven't Persian rugs on the floor. Ed Burd's horse over at Columbia City got so doggoned hot the other day that he waded out in Big lake and committed suicide. Most of us know just how old Dobbin felt about the weather. The New York World says Senator . Reed Smoot of Utah is getting to . sound too much like a wheezy old t pump in his talks about present good r times and the future. Estimates of the present campaign t run as high as ten million dollars, a lot of money and perhaps not worth j it. That will depend on wether our ; man wins or not we presume. o Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays
