We wonder if Peggy Joyce puts her 120-carat in for taxes at somewhere near what it's worth or declares she got it at a five-and-ten. The Canadian authorities have seized ten million dollars worth of liquor stored near the U.S. border. If that's the Canadian value what would it cost delivered at the back door? ■ Mr. Hoover has a worried expression in the pictures showing him delivering his address of acceptance but let's be fair and say it was because he was talking into the radio microphone. There is one thing about the storms of Florida and that is they last long enough so the folks can get used to them. The wind has been blowing up and down that state for a week past and with some rather disastrous results. Everybody is talking Old Home Week, hoping for nice weather and expecting a big show, large crowds and a good time and if we get the f first, you will be sure to have the rest.

Ohio and Arkansas held primary elections yesterday, a little late but In plenty of time to enter the big derby of politics in November. In each state there was much interest and a plentiful supply of candidates. Another shipment of truck signs / for Old Home Week have arrived and will be used to decorate each truck in and out of this city. Already two hundred and fifty of these have been put out and it was ecessary y-> order more. Everybody is boosting the big event. , Decatur will be all lit up and dressed up for the Old Home Week, the plans for that part of the event being the most elaborate ever made here. There will be flags and bunting and electric lights and every (thing that goes to make an attractive midway. President Coolidge was a little late with his message of congratulations to Mr. Hoover but he finally sent one and it should be remembered that the chief executive has dally engagements with the trout of the Brule and he doesn't permit any thing to interfere with that part of his program. We never expected to see the day when one person would donate fifty thousand to a democratic campaign fund bitt an eastern millionaire named Dupont has done that very thing, indicating that there is some doubt at least among the capitalists that democrats can't operate the government. Every time they have done it. they have given splendid I records and the country needs such an administration. - - . Southern democrats are getting ready to put on a real campaign. They are aroused by the threats and the prophecies that there is danger of republican victories there and will make an effort to increase majorities because of the danger that might result in even a partial victory.

TODAY’SCHUCKLE Spartanburg, 8. C„ August 15 — | (U.R) Charlie Roundtree, 64, did not know the name of his bride-to-be when he applied for a marriage license. "I never called her nothing except honey." he said. daily only a small part of the eligible voters turn out at elections but this year it is expected that the vote will he the largest ever recorded in a general election. The automobile traffic was unusually heavy here last evening for some reason and we noticed several cars run the red lights and others that did not pay attention to the stop signals on side streets. Drivers have ha<l sufficient warnings and the next bunch arrested will not get off as easy as have those before the mayor eat Her in the season. There were several near accidents as there are each day and they are so unnecessary.

John J, Raskob, democrat national chairman had only fine and decent things to say of Mr. Hoover's speech, with praise for the fact that it had been kept on a high plane. We hope the same attitude is held by leaders on each side of the coming controversy. There will be enough mud-sling-ing no doubt by those of the rear ranks without the leaders getting mixed up in any dirty deals. After all a campaign should be educational, giving the votfers the opportunity to hear both sides of those question? discussed. If that is done honestly and the election conducted fairly, the minority cannot and should not complain of results. Any bright farmer boy who can get his father to give him a tract of land that is not being used can invest $27.00 each year with the state forestry of Indiana, receive 27,000 young trees, plant them four feet apart, requiring ten acres and in ten years start an annual income of from $1,200 to $1,500. In December of the eleventh year you can harvest the 2,700 trees planted the first year and the following spring plant another 2,700 and so on indefinitely. How

can you better use ten acres of unused land? It will if generally used be the greatest thing the boys of this state can do. If you are interested, write Ralph V. Wilcox, acting state forester, Indianapolis. The New York World concludes a lengthy editorial analyzing the acceptance speech of Herbert Hoover with the following paragraph: “Thus, the acceptance speech calls for little comment, devoid as it is of original thought or of definite plans for the solution of pending problems beyond those contained in the platform. It is an old-fashioned party speech of acceptance, and Mr. Hoover has taken over Republican ideas and phraseology so completely and naturally that it is hard to believe only eight years ago he was in doubt as to his party preference. In thift speech Mr. Hoover the ‘steiling independent.' unbound by party prejudices, fades from the picture, and Mr. Hoover the uncomptomislng partisan appears upon the screen. It the tone of this speech is to be maintained in his latter addresses, Mr. Hoover will prove a conventional candidate of the unprovocative type preferred by professional politicians. It is too early, however, to pronounce him such. He may yet break new ground; he may yet say something." o

BARELY 200,000 LEFT OF HOST OF . WAR REFUGEES Hy HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent Geneva.—(U.R) The Great war, and its various peace adjustments, left stranded over tile face of Europe and Asia more than 3,000,000 war refugees. Today, with the exception of about 200.000, all of Hie three million people that were-left without a home and without a country, htive been definitely settled in new surroundings on a self-supporting basis. The task, is one of the largest that the League of Nations has accomplished, and one about which Ahe least is really known. These human derelicts, without home and country, which the war created, can be roughly divided into three classes. First, with the breakup of the old Russian regime and the arrival of the Bolshevists to power, some 1,500,001) Russians were left stranded. Treaty Created One Class The second great category was created by the treaty of Jaiusanne under the terms of which it was agreed that all of the Greek residents of Asia Minor were to be uprooted from their homes and sent back to Greece, while the Turks that still remained in Greece were similarly to be torn from the soil that had be-n their home to be sent back to Turkey. That was without precedent in history. It Involved the transfer of nearly* 1.200.000 Greeks from Asia Minor hack Into Greece and about -100,000 Turks from Greece into Turkey. All of these are being steadily settled down on a self-supporting basis under the auspices of the league and with the help of an international loan floated by Greece wit 11 the league's backing. The problem of settling the Russian refugees presented difficulties of a different character because of the manner in which they were scattered all over Europe. The principal countries in which they have been established or from which they have been transferred to other countries is roughly as follows: Germany TOO.OOO France 400,000 Turkey 100,000 Poland 90,000 China 100,000 Czechoslovakia 30.000 Bulgaria ........ 30.000 Serbia 30,000 Latvia 40,000 Esthonia .... 20,000 Finland 15.000

In addition to the above neatly 100,000 more were scattered through a score of other countries. With the exception of Turkey virtually all of the above countries undertook to absorb 'the great bulk of these refugees and for the most part have succeeded in doing so. 0 **¥¥¥¥¥«¥»¥*» * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ■ * Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ ****¥*¥¥*♦**•* August 15 Knights of Pythias purchase C.

HIS RHEUMATISM VANISHED SINCE HE GST KONJOLA Indorses New Medicine For Benefit Os Others Who Suffer —/ I ■■ f ( S '■ . MR. PHILLIP ,1.

J have put my crutches away and never miss a day from my work anywhere. All the swelling and stiffness is gone and there is never the slightest ache or pain anywhere in my body. I aft out of misery for the first time in four years and ■ give all the credit to Konjola."
