Any way Tom Heflin, Jr., with his escapades due to liquor and drugs is taking some of the publicity away from his father and that helps some. Only three more days until the biggest trade event in Decatur's history will take place. It's Dollar Day on Thursday. ' Watch tomorrow's paper for announcements from Decatur merchants for Dollar Day. You will thus have some idea of the importance of attending this great trade event. “Rum smuggling held challenge to United States,” says a headline. Its been that for a good while and will probably continue for the rest of time. The longest day of the year has come and gone and now we may be looking for the locust, then the katydid and then frost. The summer season is one that passes all to quickly for the average person. Now it is claimed that a giant merger of food companies is being made for the purpose of controlling prices on various products through aid given by the farm relief measure. That may become a very serious thing to consider. The federal grand jury was able to discover a conpiracy in Adams county as a result of the raiding of one still but couldn't find a thing wrong in Lake county, where law violations are so common they no longer thrill any one, much less the officers. Babe Ruth seems to have recovered. For a few days it was reported- he was dangerously ill with heart trouble but he is back in the game clouting the old ball with old time vigor. He . got two home runs in one game the other day so we can't help feeling that his heart is back in place. Any way we hope str. Save the trees. Decatur has long been famed for her wonderful maple trees. Now comes the cottony scale threatening to destroy them. We should follow the instructions of those who are posted in how to prevent the scale completely ruining the trees. Spraying with the proper solution is the cure and it is neither expensive or does it require much effort. And whatever it requires, its worth it. Thursday will be a big, busy day here from early morning until evening. The stores will open early and will show a great number of wonderful bargains. At eleven o'clock, daylight saving time. Josef Satani, world renowned magician will make his famous automobile drive, blindfolded. He offers SI,OOO to any person who can duplicate it. After that you will have more hours in which to visit the various stores and take advantage of the special offers. Quite a fuss is being made because Mrs.! Hoover, invited Mrs. DePriest, tigress, wife of alchicago congressman. to a reception given tor mem-' bers qf congress and their families and more fuss will be made about it next winter when the season opens and the colored lady is found present and you bet she will be found there if invited, which will probably be about all the medicine needed to tone ■

I =i TODAY'S CHUCKLE Knoxville, Tenn. — (U.P.) — When somebody left the stable door open at the stables of Freeman Brothers, here, a derelict buy mare wandered in and made herself at home. up the south again and return them ’ to the democratic fold. The republicans know they will have a hard time carrying Indiana next year for on top of a lot of other woes they will have to boost the tax rate considerably next year to meet the appropriations of the last legislature, but they are starting oqt already to do it and are urging that republican city officials be elected over th<> state this fall as a nucleus for the next state campaign. Democrats should be awake to the plans and head them off. Senator Jim Watson and others just home from congress told the republican editors in session at Bedford the other day that they should not expect "too much too soon" from the farm relief bill. Facts probably are that you need not expect any thing worth while until you get a law that will provide it. About all this one will do, according to some of the learned statesmen, is to provide some more fat jobs for members of the commission and this will, in one way and another relieve the farmer of some more cash, if he can raise it. ✓ It's queer how much of a hurry we all get in once we get. hold of an auto mobile wheel. We may waste an honr getting started and we may not have any thing to do for an hour after we get there, wherever we are going, but when we feel the hum of the Aotor and the car starts to glide along the road, we all get nervous to break a record. That's wliat causes many of the terrible week-end accidents for at that time traffic is heavy anl there are so many times when its necessary to have complete control of the car to avoid accidents. Why rush? Better be five minutes late than not get there at all. - —— o • BIG FEATURES • • OF RADIO • ■ ***o*«»*«**ii Monday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1929 by United Press WJZ, network, 5:30, CST—Roxy and His Gang.

Political Campaigns Candidates for office were supposed to he liberal and by golly they were. During campaigns while I was working in the bank 1 have put up at their bland request silver quarters, half dollars and dollars, say one hundred dollars each in a bag, and turned same over to this and that candidate who dished the coin out to voters a dollar,"when a quarter or a half would not do. and I have seen candidate or their henchmen line up at , polling booths and make their "hand out" to an endless chain, at the same time slipping along a ballot wound round the coin. On election day the 20 saloons would do a land office business and if a voter got too wabbly to go to the poles you can better believe he was led or carried there. I have seen lads employed for their physical ability to use their gentleness in electioneering for their candidate and I have seen many a mussed up face the day after election. It was great fun to go to a campaign meetings and the band would play ot maybe it would be a fife tfnd drums and folks would squeeze in until every available space was used up and when the speaker would tire

I heard Republican speaehes that made me believe that General Hancock actually had horns and a tail and I have also heard speeches where Abe Lincoln and all his heirs and assings were pitched headlong Into hotter places than the imagination could depict. I have hollered lor Blaine and had my nose punched before the .echo of the yell came back. When Dan Vorhees or Senator Titrpic came to town everybody of the Democraticfaith felt himself an individual host and our Republican friends were not far out of the picture that you would pity them for their lonesomeness.

The Duke of York attended the opening ceremonies this month. The grandson of the King and Queen evidenced great amazement at the luxury of the garage which is situated in the exclusive West End section of London. The new garage, a palatial five story building, is just a stone's throw from I’icadiliy-eircus and within five min utes walk are 15 theaters and three cinema houses.
