Kentucky has finally consented to permit the Indiana highway commission to build a four million dollar bridge across the Ohio river and in Kentucky territory provided we pay two million of it. Now isn't that tine? Os course Indiana is hoping to get some aid from the federal commission but thats like taking a ticket in the Louisiana lottery. The Industrial parade was a mighty fine feature of the week and much credit is due Will Linn who as chairman outlined and arranged the event. Many of those engaged in business here made wonderful displays and thousands cheered the various floats and autos as they passed. Only a real community can do such things as that. Our people have certainly enjoyed the parades, all of them and the folks who have worked so hard to get them ready should know that every one has been thrilled. The judges have a difficult time picking the winners and would like to award a prize to every one. The cooperation in every part of Old Home Week has been so complete that there is no use trying to do any thing but just say thank you to every one who helped to do it. We have heard a million fine things said about Old Home Week and not more than a half dozen complaints. We got a card yesterday which expressed the fear than some had made money while others had not. That hasn't anything to do with it. No difference whether you made money this week or not, if you did your bit towards making the week a success, you have helped yourself whether you want to be helped or not. Its great for a city of 5,000 to put on such a program as that given here this week and its much better to live in a com mnnity that does things than in one in which every body just dries up and blows away. We are at the close of a glorious week, the greatest ever held here. Tonight comes Mardi Gras with its many features and its gay colors. We hope every one has a good time and that no accident will mar the occasion. Be careful. We have been repeatedly told that no event of such magnitude has ever been given in a cleaner manner and thats good news. Os course there has been an occasion concession which overstepped the bounds but the officials of Old Home Week and the police and others have immediately ordered a stop that nothing immoral could long continue. We feel the week has been a success and we have been told by hundreds that it was as near perfect as could possibly be gven. Those are the things that make the effort worth whilq. The campaign is opening all over the country. The next two or three weeks will be devoted largely to organization but the month of October will bring the real show. There will be speeches by the greatest ora'ors and politicians of the land and from every angle. You will have no difficulty in hearing the issues discussed if you so desire and you should. Please keep this in mind, that we should not pay much attention to the ‘•whispering" or the petty things.

, TODAY’S CHUCKLE Jackson, Miss. Sept 15 —<U.R)— An ordinance making mandatory for persons whose automobiles are wrecked to clean the streets of bro- . ken glass and other debris has been . passed here. I _________________ After all what we should most desire is a government which provides the , best conditions for laboring men, 1 farmers, capitalists and the business ' man. We must live four years under the administration now to be chosen. If you desire four years more of the same brand we have been having the past seven under Presidents Harding and Coolidge, you may have it by voting for Mr. Hoover. If you reel that all the people should be considered and that ft is time for a new deal, you should vote for Mr. Smith. There is nothing to get excited over, there is nothing to be gained by saying mean and ugly things about those whose policies you disagree with. If we keep cool and sane and sensible, we can vote for our own best interest better than if we just try to see how mean we can be. After all it is of greatest importance that the farmers are given some attention the next four years and that the army of unemployed are given work. ■■■ llll ■* There are times when one wonders if Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt ever heard of any wickedness in Chicago under Republican rule. The other day a notorious gunman and gangster, Lombardo, was shot —dying "by the sword” as by it he had lived. The funeral was made an occasion for a demonstration by gunmen and gangsters. Sixteen automobile loads of floral tributes followed the hearse. The scene at the gangster's house before the funeral resembled a popular demonstration for a presidential nominee — great throngs standing in the streets. At the funeral the premier of the gunmen and gangsters, Al Capone, was present at the peril of his life, and the great man submitted to an interview. It was an impressive occasion and just a little depressing. | perhaps, to friends of law and order I These imposing funerals of gunmen and gangsters in Chicago have come to be commonplace. The death of a mayor or senator or governor would not call forth such expressions of admiration and grief. To these funerals, hat in hand, troop officials sworn to war to the death against such as these “heroes,” and they wear the simulation of grief. Official and gunman, law-officer and lawbreaker, cheek by jowl. Not long ago United States Senator Deneen journeyed back to Chicago to pay homage at the bier of a gangster who was friendly to the senator's aspirations. It* apparently did the senator no harm. Thus, the charge of District Attorney McGeehan of the Bronx that we are faced with the ugly fact that there is a supergovernment of gangsters set above the government constituted by authority appears all too true. It is true in Chicago; true in Philadelphia. Bear the message to Mrs. Willebrandt, censor of public morals and defender of the faith in Harry Daugherty.— New York Evening World.

For weeks past it seemed I lived and I dreamed Os p easuretul day I'd enjoy In meeting old friends, and shaking their hands 'Mid scenes that I knew as a boy. A few weeks ago I thought I could go And with them at least spend a day But as time came around, conditions I found Compel me at work here to stay. There often comes stealing in my mind a feeling Os what we can do we're not sure; Though we may plan well, we never can tell If those plans will ever mature. That I'll greatly miss the joy and the bliss Os personal contact. I’m certain; While this 1 regret, I'm glad I have yet Pleasing pictures on memory's curtain. ~ —J. F. (Johnny) Cramer, Kendallville.

What’s inside? THE woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red— Red Pepper Burns, Ihe Song of the Cardinal,” “The Scarlet Letter-made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn’t particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space. Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what’s inside them. And when you buy a flashlight, a refrigerator, a radio-you want wiser than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what’s inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can’t tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements caul tell you. 1 hey point out the urderneatbness of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can’t see. The amount and strength of service to exepcct of what you see. Not just a refrigerator-but how long the ice lasts in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. And not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It’s these unseen nows and futures that make a product worth its price. Read the advertisements. Then you can know a pro duct to its center-to its last chapter of service—before you buy. Knotving the adt'erttsements habitually means always strength-buys Read advertising often Decatur Daily Democrat ■ —'
