It pays to look our best, and there is something contagious about it. Indianapolis has a city tax rate of sl.lO and a school tax of $1.03. Add to that the county, road and state taxes and other incidentals and the capitol city will probably not feel like pulling any funny Jokes on the other cities of the state. There is probably no legal way to prevent that three-year-old Washington boy from smoking cigars but some one ought to take his daddy to the wood shed. We are too old fashioned to take kindly to the new method of letting children do as they wish. The teachers concluded their session yesterday afternoon and are ready for the convening of school Monday and Tuesday. Adams county has as tine a hunch of teachers as can be found any where in the country and the work they do each year ranks with the best. By the way thats an asset any community may well feel proud of. Lieutenant Cornish announces an airplane or flying circus for this city on the 30th, which is an event of more than passing interest. He will bring a flock of twenty-five of the s|ty birds here, the event being to create greater interest in the proposed airport for this city. Such men as the lieutenant are doing a great work in educating the people to this new mode of travel. A coal trucker in Boston found a petrified frog in a lump of coal and immediately some smart scientist figured that the frog had been sleeping there seventy million years. They expect us to believe that they know just how to do that and many of those same scientists declare that they can prove we came from animals which a million years ago hung to the limbs of trees by their tails. We just can’t swallow any of it, and we're not going to. Five parades of merit will occur during Old Home Week here. On Tuesday three thousand children will lend their presence to make Limberlost day a success; Wednesday will bling the farm and dairy parade; Thursday the fraternal march with numerous features; Friday the grand parade, Industrial, with a hundred floats and cars and Saturday night the funniest of all, the masked troopers. Its sure going to be a great week. Get ready. While many who come here for Old Home Week will not be interested in the old pictures, relics and antiques to be displayed in the various show-windows and in the Krick, building at Monroe and Third, but thousands will enjoy these features immensely and thats the idea of those *n charge—to furnish something for every one to really enjoy. When you get tired of the music, free acts, parades and other features take a look at the wonderful display that is being arranged for this occasion by the committee on relics and antiques. ■ /* I

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE Memphis, Tenn. Sept. I—(U.PJ1 —(U.PJJohn Mack sent a negro tn lead his mule "Jack'’ to water. Three dif- ’ ferent automobiles hit the mule on J the trip but failed to kill hime. The down town section of Decatur , will be well lighted and decorated for 1 Old Home Week. Nothing is being ; left undone to make the city appear ' beautiful for this occasion. We do not -celebrate often but when we do we like to have it right. Everything Is to be first class and the fact that the city is using more than two thousand extra lights to take care of the big midway is evidence that this is to be no ordinary event. There will be plenty to see and plenty of light to help your vision. Mrs. J. B. Houston of Charleston, West Virginia, does not swallow all the bunk that is being handed out by some folk’s and declares that the only hope for temperance rests with the democratic party. She issued a statement yesterday saying: "Can we get temperance from Al Smith who is honest or can we got it from the republicans who have not kept any of their pledges or promises in eight years they have been in power?” . Then she answered her own question with: "I am working for temperance, ' and I believe our only hope to obtain 1 it rests with the democratic party." ' It is stated on good authority that during the past year the bootleggers have deposited in Philadelphia banks more than ten million dollars. In all seriousness, do you feel thats an indication that the laws are being enforced? Lets see. doesn’t Mr. Mellon, who draws a salary as treasurer of the United States by cirtue of his office control the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment and Volstead laws, hail from that state? Isn’t there something to think about and isn’t it time something is really done about it? The Indianapolis News in a column editorial last evening urges support of Frank C..Dailey for governor, closing with this paragraph: "Such a man as Frank C. Dailey in the Governor's chair would be worth to the people of this state vastly more than the salary attached to the office. He is in every way qualified for the place, for he is a man of great ability, unquestioned integrity, high ideals—and also he lias rendered important service to the people of Indiana. To have a chance to ?ote for such a man is, and should be so regarded, a piece of great good fortune. Labor Day will be observed Monday, an event of importance. A fewyears ago the men who labored with their hands did not have much to celebrate but in latter years there has beeu a decided turn for the better and the average laborer now receives a pay more commensurate with his expenses, better working conditions and a general trend of fairness. After I all there is no reason why capital and labor should not cooperate to the advantage of every one. Monday will be observed in the larger cities with parades and speeches and in almost every town and city in the land by the cessation of general business. Frank Dailey’s opening speech of the campaign was one that will appeal to every fair minded voter. He does not abuse, he does not find fault with those who differ with him politically but he points out the needs for a change of administration in a manner that should be convincing. No difference what your politics, it you desire Inditfha to resume her former position among the states of the union, you should clean up the state house and to do that you should vote the democratic ticket, this year. Mr. Dailey is a competent and able man, who demonstrated his ability a few years ago while serving as district attorney and special government officer. Honest and determined to do right, he will serve all the people of 1 Indiana as they should be served. o . — Money in Apples , The apple is considered to be the most valuable fruit crop in the United States.

Familiarity breeds TRUST CONTRARY to the old adage, familiarity with some things brewed trust. Advertised products, for instance, lhe trade-names and firm-names you see regiilarly in this paper, by reason of their very continuity, kindle familiarity first and then confidence, lhese 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. Familiarity with known goods breeds contempt ior the unknown. Advertising begets familiarity. Decatur Daily Democrat
