Give it und help make the week a complete success. While blaming the officers und the drys for the killing of innocent people along the Canadian border, it might be well to remember also that the bootlegger has some of the responsibility. If he wasn't trying to put things over there wouldn't be any need for the shooting, but the fuct remains that it in any of the cases which have been numerous lately, the shooting was without due reason and provocation, the men who did it should be punished and severely. Those Knight Hawk boys are also good scouts. At least they are performing a worth-while service to the community. They have marked the roofs of Decatur business houses, showing the way to aviators and they have laid out a landing field south of the city, with arrows pointing the direction. That's the kind of assistance that counts and is appreciated by the citizens as well as by the air travelers. We present to you today the announcement of many local merchants who are inviting you to take advant age of their special offers on Dollar Day—Thursday of this week. You will do yourself an injustice if you neglect to read these advertisements for they contain offers that will surely interest you because they save you ; money and assure you of excellen- I merchandise. — Each week the traffic through De-1 catur becomes heavier, which means ] that we have that many more visitors! whom we desire to please. The very first thing to be done to assure the public we appreciate their coming I this way is to provide rest rooms We don't want the officials to Ibse sight of the necessity for this improvement and we don’t, think they will, but let's hurry it if we can. Every time a cloud of dust came down the shute from the court room yesterday there was a bigger cloud of complaint went up from those business houses adjacent. The fine dust penetrated the walls and th? windows and doors and made things very unpleasant for a while. - 0 — * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat File * Twenty Years Ago Today ***************** June 25 —Verdict for plaintiff in Taylor Studabaker ease, awarding title to 1 farm and $2,000 damagesFred Rohrer addresses Epworth League convention at Fort Wayne.

Strain Upon Truth The utrain upon truth in advertising becomes too great when the public is . told thut other cigarettes enjoy the toasting process. It takes three years to |, u< .ky Strike's flavor. I bis unrivale«l cigarette is a blend of fi Oegt tobaccos from each of three consecutive growths—the cream of the crop. Then comes the secret toaxling procest which in the opinion of 20,6795. physicians makes Lucky Strike less irritating than other cigarettes. This ex. elusive heat treatment also purifies the tobacco and adds a touch of nut-swect flavor-appetizing, delicious, different—the earmark of one of the world’s most popular products.
