Buy an Old Home Week badge, only twenty-five cents. You can buy a badge for Old Home Week for two-bits, worth much more and show you are a booster for the old home town. We always have a cold snap at this time of year which doesn’t mean that winter is here. Its just a little warning that it will come sooner or later and that its well to be prepared. Over at Montpelier, Sam Norton refused to tell the judge who his boot- | leggger was and got a sixty day sen- : tence to the penal farm. Now thats a new one but we presume its the law. Both the public and parochial schools show gains over last year, indicating not only that we are growing but that our schools are attractive and they are. A community can have no better asset than good schools and churches and we have them. Besides the several thousand former Adams county folks who arg coming here next week to meet old friends we will have the largest number of distinguished guests we ever entertained. We're ready for them and we 1 are sure they will have a good im- 1 pression of Decatur. 1 ■— I Don't put off too long buying a , Decatur Old Home Week badge. You | will want one to wear during the big - week and to keep for a souvenir for ; they are attractive and are being sold | at a close margin. The ladles will , .call on you tomorrow and we hope 1 every body starts wearing a badge. i If there are any details to be dis- , posed of for Old Home Week we don’t j know what they are excepting of < course the putting up of tents, the decorations, the receiving of the guests and their entertainments. Its i going to be a great old week if the ( weather man will be kind. i - The supreme court is going to de- , cide the Stephenson case it has been , announced. Just why the announce- - ment we don’t know but perhaps his , matters are more important than others. The people of Indiana hope they . will hurry along and decide it so the , whole matter can be forgotten as , much as possible. The home coming here is being advertised by various methods, through newspapers, over the radio and by posters and cards. Today a caravan of cars with the Junior band are touring surrounding -territory. Airplanes will distribute bills over many miles of territory and the Boy Scouts are doing their part in distributing the programs. With fair weather, look out for record breaking crowds. Mrs. Florence Knapp, secretary of state in New York and the first woman ever elected to a high office in that state, was sentenced yesterday to thirty days in jail for stealing census money. She got off rather easy at that when you consider that a lot of fellows get a year or two for helping themselves to a few loaves of bread or something like that and how about the Michigan woman who goes up for life for having a bottle of beer in her Ice chest?

I TODAY’S CHUCKLE Columbae, Ind., Sept. S.—RJ.W — Ab Bllltnirs, having Imbibed too freely, sought ont a policeman and suggested his own punishment—"just give me a good kicking.’” The officer obliged and Billings gravely thanked him. The court house lawn is being dressed for company and will be the most attractive in all its history. The court house will be decorated in line with other buildings of the town and seats will be arranged in the beautiful yard for the convenience of those who wish to use them. The commie h I oners and those in charge of the yard including Mr. Breiner and Mr. Gaskill are working hard and deserve the commendation they will receive. Its fine cooperation. The Lion's club gave a half hour entertainment over the radio from WOWO last evening and we are sure it was enjoyed by many people not only here but over a wide territory. It was certainly fine, the music, the announcements and the four minute talk by Rev. H. W. Thompson. That it will aid in calling attention of thousands to the big week here is taken for granted and it was certainly splendid that so many folks could and did take part. To all of them we are grateful. if there is to be modification of the present prohibition policy, it must come through constitutional channels. Meanwhile, all existing Jaws should be strictly enforced. —Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. Thats precisely correct and the great objection is that efforts of the past seven years to enforce the laws either strictly or otherwise have failed so completely that the country is now very largely in the control of bootleggers. Think of it—the bootleg! gers of Philadelphia alone have deposited more than ten million dollars the past year. Whither do we drift? Certainly no administration will do w-orse than has that of Harding-Coolidge-Mellon. .. .in . The Citizen's Telephone company held their thirty-fourth annual meeting Monday evening, re-electing the old board and they in turn re-elected the old officers. Such a public utility so well operated is a splendid thing for any community and are sure their efforts are appreciated as they should be. Because of the sleet storm last spring the company was put to so much expense that no dividends were paid this year but the profits were used to repair the lines, that work being done here with more dispatch than in most places of this section It would be a great inconvenience to do without the telephone and it Is fine that we have a first class, homeowned plant here. Along with about every tiling else lhe methods of campaigning have changed and this year will be seen an entirely different line of battle. Instead of front porch speeches and extended tours with a dozen stops each day, -the candidates for president will largely depend on the radio and newspapers. In the state also much of the speech making will be by air. Even in the county campaigns there will probably be a different method. For several campaigns the school house speeches have been drawing less Intest and it is likely that in most counties the meetings will be held only in the larger communities unless there is a request for speakers. This is a day of automobiles, telephones, radios and airplanes and the old horse and buggy plans seem to be obsolete. 0 —— • TWENTY YEARS AGO ♦ • From th* Dally Democrat File • • Twenty Year* Ago Today • *«*«**«»•«**.t Sept. 5, 1908.—Fort Wayne & Springfield officials agree to buy stock of Kelly and Shelton at par within ten days.

Sept. s.—Money and merchandise to the value of $2,170.85 was raised Monday at the annual booth festival of the Epworth Leaguesof the Fort Wayne district of the Methodist Episcopal church at Foster park. The cash and donations will be given to the Methodist hospital. The merchandise included linens and canned fruit. Despite the light rain which fell at the end of the afternoon the event was pronounced very successful by Dr. W. W. Wiant. superintendent of the Fort Wayne district. Visitors were present from all parts of the district and interest was keen in athletic contents which played a feature part in the afternoon's program. The Fort Wayne sub-district teams were victorious in the indoor baseball and volley ball contests. A ' peanut scramble" and a "penny scramble" were held for the children attending the festival. The Garrett Epworth league booth had the largest collection total with the equivalent of $234 and Fremont's booth was second with $130.83. Monroeville’s booth was judged the most artistically decorated with the New Haven booth second. New Haven carried off attendance honors, beating out Averado.

YEAR’S VICTIMS OF HAYFEVER TOTAL MILLION Detroit, (U.K) Although science is making a concerted attack on hay fever and many hospitals have established clinics for the treatment of the malady, more than 1,000,000 Americans will lie victims this year, according to Dr. A. W. Lescchier. director of experimental medicine in the ParkDavis Research laboratories. "It has been variously estimated that the economic loss from hay fever this year will be $50,000,000 to SIOO,000,000," Dr. Lescchier said in an interview here. “Many of the sufferers lose from four to six weeks of work out of each year." “Hay fever results from supersensitiveness of the patient to protein material contained in the pollen of certain plants," Dr. Lescchier pointed out. "The pollen finds its way to the membranes of the eye, nose and throat where the protein is freed, setting up a local irritation resembling that which results from a bacterial infection such as a common cold. "The most important hay fever season occurs in August, September and October. The autumnal hay fever is caused by the pollen of the rough marsh eder, burweed marsh eder and cocklebur; by the chenopods and related families such as Russian thistle, white goose-foot, yellow duck, western waterhemp, halbred-leaved Orache; and by the wormwood sage, mugwort, Prairie sage, sagebrush and Indian hair tonic. “In 65 to 75 per cent of the cases

Get Your Dollar’s Worth GRANDMOTHER reads the latest market prices—- " Lands sakes alive!” she exclaims, ‘ why, when I was t voting we didn’t have to pay half so much. Yes, in "the good old days" milk sold at five cents a quart, potatoes at forty cents a bushel, sugar twenty-five pounds for a dollar, and so on. And. in ‘The good old days" a laborer was paid a dollar a day or possibly a dollar and a quarter. But who wants to go back to "the good old days”? Not you-not me. Prices are higher now. but wages arc higher too. You. pay more, but the goods you buy are of better material, they are better made, thev last longer. Even footstuffs are better. Inspection and extra' care insure their quality. The dollar can still buy a dollar’s worth. , Read the advertising in the newspapers and you will find that they will help your dollars go a long way. Advertising tells you where you can get full value for your money. I he young housewife of today shops even more intelligently than "grandma," for the advertisements are her guides, they make her a competent judge of values.
