our immediate family are here on | or near the coast with in a short drive 1 by car. Four boys and 2 girls so we are very Jiappy of that not being separated by thousands of miles. Some of the older citizens of Decatur can remember when a ticket could be fixed and vote people at the polls, If Perry Robinson is living ask hln, if he remembers bringing In John Toxei to vote on the Monday following ai Monmouth I got to see 'tom Malonic, I asked him what he meant by letting Perry bring John in to town to have vote the democrat tickat, then lie said John was at home when lie left his house in the country. Well I told him that ho was not there now, lie said where is ho, I told him up stairs over Little John Tonalies store tn the old Smith building so Tom Stole Froxel took him out home with him and voted him the Republican ticket. Don't think Perry ever knew how gave the thing away but he missed voting Troxel just the same. We are having fine weather Sun shlney days cool nlghtsf, splendhl weather which is tipical on this coast the year around. Our familys regards to all who remember us. Respectfully Yours B. F. Blossom or Frank 4117 E 7 St. Long Beach Cal. Redondo Beach. Cal. Aug. 27. 1928 Dr. Roy Archbold,. Chairman. My family and myself are very grateful anti thank your committee for your remcmberance and invitation for Old Home Coming week, and would b<> very glad indeed to come back home and help celebrate, which to ns would mean one of the most delightful and enjoyable weeks cf our lives, for, don't we remember the last great horne t timing and the big time everybody hati. Decatur people certainly know how to entertain, how to make one feel at home, to be among Blends, ami to be real honest to goodness folks. To really appreciate the full meaning of real friends, especially to one who has lived as we have in Decatur a good share of our lives, one should go out among strangers for a while, al thtlghvwe make new friends ami acquaintances. there is a difference. Old timers, tried and true, while new ones, well, you know it isn’t the same We -would surely- like to c me back home, but cannot do so this year. Our plans for a long while, for coming track heme, have been for next year, tor then we expect to help celebrate fathers and mothers golden wedding, and being so far away, we cannot make both trips. We will be with you in spirit though, Mid think of the g od times we are missing. You know this sure brings hack fond memories especially when I was a kid. The old Beeler hole in the St. Marys, where I learned to swim, the Johnson melon patch, tight back of it. Poor old Mr- Johnson, he sure had a hard time keeping us kids out, and when Millard Cowan was Marshal, it w we kids feared him but at the same time teased him and tried to get him to run, which he couldn't xlo so very well, and we sure kept out of his reach.

PARENTSHAPPYt CHILD'S HEALTH ISBROOGHTBACK Mother Tells Os QuiA And Remarkable Results Obtained j Through The New Konjola "**-* 4 M 9mF 1 w Www--a ■ Z * / ■'S ’A ' ’ • Tit -I MISS LILLIAN REEVES Read what a delighted mother. Mrs. Delia A. Reeves, 15 Minneapolis i Avenue, Vincennes, Ind., has to say | about the wonderful new medicine— Konjola. .-"For some months the health of cur little daughter. Lillian, was a great worry,’.’ says Mrs. Reeves. “Her kidneys were badly affected. During the day there was frequent leakage, and at night sleep was Im possible for the child. We tried everything, but to no avail. We read of Konjola and determined to try the new remedy, of which we had heard so much that was encouraging. After a short treatment the kidneys j cleared up, Lillian took op a new color, new life, vivacity" and general health. She was able to sleep the night through, and all the evidences of kidney affliction disappeared. I beljeve that every mother in the land should know of this case, for Lillian's condition, '1 am told, is ohe thal is common among children. S*urely Konjola came as a blessing into our home''. Konjola is sold in Decatur. Ind., at! Smith. Yager & Falls's drug store, and by all the best druggists in all I towns throughout this entire section.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1928.

I Remember the old Place Creams, the i j chi inplons of Ohio, Indiana and MichI igan, with Minnehun. Police. Kief, O'Conner, Judy, Rady. Hoggy Taylor, i Chris Moyer, I can't remember the rest, but anyway they were heroes to :us kids We didn't always' have the I price to see the games, so we would go along tho river to the fence,on tho Zimmerman hottem lands, and follow that to the thicket, right back of the diamond, and when a foul bull was hl', it would sometimes fall in tho thicket, and then there would be a scramble among us kids for the ball, f t - whoever got It. carried It in and got ' to see the rest of the game. Frequently I tltete was a scrap over the ball, which made things rather inlerestlng. Those 1 were the days of real sport. Now we are all grown up, aitd scat--1 tered all oA-r the world. Wouldn't it ■ be wonderful if all we prodigals, could • gather once more In good old Decatur what tales we could tell, what a good time we could have. Maybe some day but not now. California has been good to us, given ■ us good health, a good living, and some pleasutes. and a little of this world's goods for the future. It is a wonderful! place to live, and we all like it, and expect to remain, but we miss our old friends. We certainly hope that your effbr’s ; will make a success of Old Home I Week. Give our best regards to our friends. Most Sincerely Jacob J. Meyer apt! Family ' PS. This letter may be rather jumb- ' I <1 but the reason: We are spending 1 the month of August on the beach, I and as J am writing this lying on tile; sands, and there are many and various distractions, so pleas pardon my ' mistakes.

Get Your Dollar’s Worth GRANDMOTHER reads the latest market prices—- “ Lands sakes alive! she exclaims, “why, when I was young 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 arc higher noW, but wages are highertoo. You pay more, but the goods you buy arc of better material they arc better made, they last longer. Even footstuffs arc better. Inspection and extra car< 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 yon where you can get full value for your money. The young housewife of today shops even more intelligently than “grandma,” for the advertisements arc her guides, they make her a competent judge of values. Merchandise must be good or it couldn’t be advertised. Read the advertisements and get your dollar's worth. Decatur Daily Democrat *
