Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dallies With all due appreciation of the occasion a good many folks are glad when the glorious Fourth has become history and all the family have all their fingers and eyes and other necessary parts of the anatomy. Over in Vienna you can have a very jflecent funeral for fourteen dollars, which however is no particular allurement for the average person. That city averages sevently-five funerals a day and that perhaps accounts for the low overhead. The Fouith is over and even though the average lioy enjoys fire works, torpedo battles, shooting of fire crackers and the other things that go to make up the noise, it is a violation of Indiana laws to do so until the restrictions are lifted next July first again. The thunder storms flirted around here all afternoon yesterday, struck lightly about nine last evening and then gave us an old fashioned one about one o’clock this morning. The rain came in torrents and for an hour the continual bombardment made the noise of the Fourth sound mild. The Fourth was observed quietly here, mostly with family dinners, picnics, golf, fishing or a trip some where. From over the country come reports of numerous accidents from various causes but because of the campaign urging carefulness the list is not’as large this year as it was some years ago. One of the heaviest losses reportqd over the Fourth was the destruction of the Main Auto Supply company at Fort Wayne, where the total was SBO,OOO. It was caused by a "devil chaser" which hopped into the building through an open door and touched off a supply of fireworks there.
Don’t be a hermit and if you are don't wear a long beard. An eighty-year-old hermit at Toledo, lowa, was strangled by his own whiskers, when robbers stuffed them in his mouth before they blew his safe. He kept all his money in his shack and bandits decided to get it. Eveidently they succeeded for the vault was empty when a neighbor boy discovered the hermit's body. Judge Ducomb of South Bend told the husband of a woman who had Hied charges of an attempted attack against some man, to take his wife home add put more clothes on her if he wanted to protect her. The fact that a woman hasn't much more thau an old fashioned fig leaf on doesn't warrant an attack by a man but as the judge said she must blame herself jjotne if a man “presumes something that isn't true." • The question of pasteurizing milk •sold to the public is being discussed by the members of the city council. .Ihere seems to be a division of opinion & tj> whetherjor not this really l)i|V|i}t3‘ diseases 1 attributed to milk, .purely this gan be decided by a study j>f the situation elsewhere and from >dvice from those in authority best "Qualified. If it is a protection to the public then such an ordinance should be adopted. It wpuld seem, but if not then of course the extra overhead should not be imposed.
TODAY’S CHUCKLE Portland, Ore. -—(UP) —“We hated to see the circus leave town," was the explanation of five minor boys who poured sand into the boxing around the wheels of several cars of the Al. O. Barnes circus train.
That will very probably be the attitude of the council. We extend in advance a hearty welcome to the rural mall carriers of Indiana who will Hold a three day state convention here beginning tomorrow. We assure the visitors that the town is theirs and that every courtesy will be extended them by the splendid citizens of this community. W’e recognize the importance of the jobs these men do, traveling through all kinds of weather daily, thinking always of how they can best serve the public and doing many favors outside those required by the department. They are a bunch of fine men and we hope their visit to Decatur will be a happy and a pleasant one in every way. We assure you again that's what we all want for you. The city council has let a contract for the remodelling of the city plant and a new roof on the structure. At the time bids were received some two or three weeks ago, separate estimates on the two jobs were taken, it being understood as is usual in such cases that the council was to let the contract in such manner as they believed would be best, including of course the lowest price. This was done and as a result something over SSOO was saved. The present administration has during their three and a half years made every effort to operate the affairs of the city on the most economical plan and conducted the business as they would their own. Never has the finances been in better condition and never have the people enjoyed more conveniences. Tn addition rates have been reduced on both light and power, street lights have been added, new pavements put in and general progress made. The people should appreciate such service and we believe do.

Sandwiches and refreshments will be available, should any desire to stay all day. The Rev.. . Paul Schultz, of Zion church, Decatur, makes the following brief remarks about Luthers Catechism : "The Catechism was published by Martin Lutheran in 1529,. and as he notes in his preface, the deplorable destitution in matters of faith and salvation, especially among the common people, impelled and constrained him to prepare the Catechism in such a small and simple form. And now for four hundred years it has been used as a text-book in the Lutheran church for religious instruction for young and old, and its vital force and spiritual power is evident. “The six chief parts found in the Catechism are drawn from the Bible, and it is light fully said that it is the most complete summary of the contents of the Bible ever given in the same number of words. The great truths of the Bible are summed up and presented in a manner so simple that every child can grasp them readily. The truths are eternal and meet the religious needs of every soul in every age. “And because the wisdom embodied in the Catechism is not man’s, not Luther’s, but God's wisdom and His holp will, therefore it has endured four centuries, and is today sacredly honored by Lutherns the world over as the dearest and most valuable book next to the Bible.
"In America, it was the first book translated into the language of the American Indians. The first English edition appeared at Philadlephia in 1749 ami was probably printed by the publishing house of Benjamin Franklin. The Catechism of Luther' has been translated in more languages than any other book save the Bibi,. The four-hundredth anniversary of anniversary of Luther's Catechism is indeed a unique occasion."

Blue Creek Township Down in Blue Crek township, I was well acquainted with Kelita Jacobs, old Doctor Calderwood, Squire Tyndal, Peter Young, Sam Morningstar, Hy Stacey, Squire Merriman, and the McAlhaneys, Headingtons, Foremans and Kimseys, They were a great bunch of people. They surely lived a long way from Decatur even up to 20 years after the Civil war for the highways were particularly troublesome down that way because there was so much of a gumbo, pack wax combination to the soil ::nd the land as a rule laid low and Blue Creek ditch cut all through the township and folks had a lot of water to contend with down there. However, after drainage came there is perhaps no better land found in the county. Rich in loam and .ery productive But in the old days if It was a : tlcularly wet spring you could not ru. a horse on manv of the roads. You simply had to i-c as ’»*st you could and “coot .he logs ■ re the water was dec;.. Salem was the trading point, situated in about center of th- township and boasted a store run in the 70's by G. W. Syfera and one of tlie McAlhaneys was the cabinet maker and Swank made boots and shoes and old unique Doctor Calderwood was the pill and quinine doctor to all and sundry. Salem was an oasis in the desert, or ocean rather. and more "visiting” was done in Salem than any village of its size in the world. Squire Tyndall was the dean of the law dowm there and was a rather busy man as I have heard that the countryside was inclined to be contentious and the squire settled many disputes in and out of court. Squire Merriman came

to bat after the passing of Squire Iyn dull and Blue Creek township with out a Merriman to construe the law would not seem like home. Kelita Jacobs was a learned man anti the, finest penman that I have ever seen, liar none. Dot tor Calderwood was a| genius, and the typical country doctor| of song and story. I presume that no section of the county called for more earnest pioneering than Blue ( reek ( township anti in the 40'8-50 s and 60s land 70'8 isolation from the outside world made these people self-reliant and efficient. The Klmsey schoolhouse was a favorite meeting place and the church at Salem in its isolatd peacefulness mightily encourag ed the unthinking and Godless.

ißr i 6b . # - / MRS. CHAS. STATELER "My stomach was in the worst possible condition," said Mrs. Charles Stateler. 624 Adams street, Gary, Indiana. ‘‘Quantities of gas would form on my stomach and cause me to have terrible cramping spells. My heart would be affected with the gas and often I thought it would stop beating. It was impossible for me to sleep at night. “After taking thtee bottles of Konjola I noticed that the food was not bothering me and my nerves had settled down. I have now completed a full treatment. My stomach no longer troub'es me and the gas bloating and vomiting spells are gone. Sleep comes to me quickly at night and I awake feeling rested and full of energy. I want to indorse Konjola to all who suffer from stomach trouble.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
