Another week en dand everybody is hoping the Monday papers cannot carry the usual headlines of accidents. For weeks now the toll has been frightful. Let's each and everyone try to make a record of no accidents over Sunday. The republicans have what they call a “bandwagon,” which is some kind of a vehicle rigged up with various noise making devices to attract attention. We doubt if it gets them anywhere for while people are curious, they likewise think seriously these days and they will wonder if that's the way to attract votes. President Coolidge will be traveling east about the middle of Old Home Week in Decatur. He is the honorary president of the Isaac Walton League and perhaps if properly invited throug the officials of that organization he might be induced to stop off here for a short time. Anyway we favor extending him the invitation. They are investigating the warden and other officials at the penal farm as a result of several prisoners having been released before their terms had expired. From what we have heard of the institution, we venture the guess that none of them got out a day too vsoon to suit them.

Merchants should remember that Old Home Week will provide for them a great opportunity to show their wares and to interest the people in what they have to sell. Thousands will visit here each day and they will go to your store if you invite them. A little advertising'started right now would help in that. No you don't have to register to vote this year and you cannot vote by using an absent voters ballot. These questions are being asked each day and will be asked through the campaign. Tell those who inquire that the laws regarding these two campaign requirements have been repealed. Prizes will be given for the best looking and the most otiginal floats in the big parade on Industrial day during Old Home Week. During the week there will be several parades, the school children, fraternal societies, agricultural. These will, all appear in the great parade on the big Friday and to the winners prizes will go. Get ready to help make it the best ever held around here. We hope there is not a single person in Decatur who will not enter into the spirit of Old Home Week. It is to be a great event when hundreds of folks will come home and when great crowds will gather here for a happy few’ days. We grow too serious and we will all be better lor a week of play. The committee Un charge feel they have a great program ready and that you will be splendidly entertained.

One dollar saved is an actual and not a theoretical step forward. The trouble with most of us is that we intend to save and make plans to do so but just never s(art. Do it today. Put away a dollar, more if you can spare it but something. Do that

After you have the swing of it, you will like it and will wonder why everybody doesn't do it. Governor Smith is to speak in Indiana. How many times and just where will be decided in a few days. Where ever the democratic candidate speaks you may be sure he will be greeted by great throngs of people for they are not only anxious to see this great leader who came up from the “sidewalks of New York" but to hear him for he always has a straight and forward message that interests. It has been many years since there has been so great a leader of men before the public. ■ * —. Mr. Danielson, a field executive of the Anthony Wayne area council of the Boy Scouts of America, speaking to the Rotarians here the other night, paid tribute to the work of the Decatur scout masters, a worth while compliment. It is a fine thing to have so many scouts as there are in Adams county for it means a large number of boys are being trained to be manly, courteous and outstanding square shooters. Boy Scouts grow into splendid men and our hats are off to those who devote their time as scout masters to training them. It’s a fine work. President Ward of the Isaac Walton League will give the principal address here on Limberlost Day of Old Home Week when the Gene StrattonPorter memorial is dedicated. It will not be an ordinary event but one that will attract as much attention as has anything ever done in this community. Ms, Waid is one of the great men of America, president of the University of Illinois, a gentleman and a scholar. It is not only one of the high spots of the week to be celebrated here but it is one of the really great events in the history of this county. Besides Dr. Ward there will be many notable men and women here for the occasion.

Among those who have endorsed Governor Al Smith and whose endorsement means much with the farmers of the nation is Sam H. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. In doing so he said: "Governor Smith in his acceptance speech last night recited facts that clearly represent the present agricultural situation. He reiterated the democratic party pledge adopted at Houston. As I have already said, that party's platform covers the fundamental principles adopted by the American Farm Bureau five years ago. Governor Smith’s plan to find away of spreading the marketing costs over the marketed unit of the commodity benefited is satisfactory. In Memoriam In memory of Otto Smith, Adams county aviator w’ho was killed in an airplane accident a year ago the 28th of this month, at Montpelier, during an air circus. I cannot say and will not say that he is dead. He's just away! With cheery smile and wave of hand, he wandered into an unknown land and left us dreaming how very fair it needs must be since he lingered near, And you, Oh you, who the wildest yearn. For the old time step and glad return. Think of him fairing on as a dear. In the love of there, as the love of here. Think of him still as the same I say. He is not dead —he is just away. —Orval Suddith.

Familiarity breeds TRUST CONTRARY to the old adage, familiarity with some things breed trust. Advertised products, for instance. Ihe trade-names and firm-names you see regularly in this paper, by reason of their very continuity, kindle familiarity first and then confidence. These are the names that leap to your lips in market-places. FAMILIARITY of this sort is a thing to be cultivated. The more you know about an advertiser and his wares, the more you are able intelligently to invest the family outlay for the necessities of life. This truth is self-evident. READ the advertisements in this paper. Read them as carefully as you would read something you had to sign your name to. They will save your shopping time and your shopping dollars. Go into the stores with your mind more than half made up as to what .you want and what you will have to pay. J amiliarity with known goods breeds contempt for the unknown. Advertising begets familiarity. Decatur Daily Democrat
