Twelve hundred prisoners went on a rampage a' Pannemore, New York, yesterday, set fire to the building and tried to rush the walls. That's a tough game and the unfortunate convicts never had a chance. There is nothing gained by the automobile driver who fails to stop at tho signs or signals and those who do so art; taking a serious chance on losing thtdr license and getting Into other difficulties that will not be pleasiug. China deHart s she lias no intention of violating the anti-war treaty and is acting In self defense. Russia will probably Haim the same thing. Now wliat will we do about it under the Kellogg arrasgemen Where are the teeth.? According to dope from the Chicago liquor cure hospital there has been a steady increase in the number of patients since 1920 and perhaps the most depressing fact is that the list now includes laige numbers of women. , Now comes one John S. Fogarty who flies suit for *500,000 damages against the once popular idol, dene Tunney, alleging the alienation of his wife’s affections. It was she, Catherine Fogarty, who a few weeks ago filed suit for a similar amount, claiming that she got a divorce to marry him only to he disappointed. Sir Herbert Austin, of England, is coming to the United States to show Henry Ford and the rust of the boys how to do il lie will manufacture a seven-horse power ear to sell under *SOO. Sonn one ought to tip Sir Herb off that lie is likely to get his feet wet when lie humps into the game here. He is probably peeved because American cars are now finding such ready sale in Europe. Governor Leslie lias paroled another bank bandit and about every one excepting those who are urging him to keep up his free pass program, seems to be up in the air. Just when we seem to he having a respite from the epidem < of bank holdups, the governor gets busy and sends a hunch of convicted bandits out to give the state police something to do. Its a great old world. The work of securing tiie easements on road sixteen between this city and the Ohio state line will be completed this week, one way or the other and the matter will then lie in the hands of the attorney general. We are hoping that Mr. Northrop, the representative of the. state commission, will he. able to make a satisfactory arrangement with each property owner, so there will he no delay in letting the contract. According to Senator Borah the farmers of this country have an annual income of *736 each and President Hoover has asked for appropriations to operate the government of niore titan that, a total of nearly four IffMiitV in other words it I coats more to run this country than the farmers earn. Os course that settles two points, namely: the farmers don't get what they ougli and government costs too much. Anyway to beat the law! Move than five hundred have been caught in

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Stovens Point, Wls. —(UP) —At Hie annual school bourd election here Joseph .1. Bogaczyk, who was not a candidate, wus elected. Bogaczyk did not know an election had been held until he was Informed of his choice. making false statements to the drivers’ license clerk and about thirty of them wended their weary way to the secretary of state's office yesterday to change their original statement, in fear of being hauled up for perjury. Bootleggers and others who have been convicted of felony, or worse, are not supposed to have a license. But how can they carry on willvout! That seems to he a question. Anyway the licensing bureau is using every precaution to keep these fellows front driving a car.—Bluffton Banner. The biggest example of “passing the buck' 1 is what governors of many states pronounce George W. Wiekershant's recommendation that the states take up the law enforcement prohlem and relieve the national government of tho trouble. Some of the governors say the national government. having found out the impracticability of the Volstead law. would like to transfer the responsibility. Most governors look upon the idea as just as impracticable as the nation trying to enforce all the provisions. They know it will mean much grief and they are just as anxious to dodge trouble as Uncle Sam.—Hartford City News. You know they are doing a lot of planning, talking and writing now about a new calendar, one that provides for thirteen months of twentyeight days each. That would make each, day fall the same date each month and one of the objections is that tiie thirteenth would come on Friday each month. Os course that could be changed easily by starting the week on Monday instead of Sunday but thats so simple that they have probably thought of it and received objections for some super titious folks would soon feel Saturday, the 13th, just as unlucky as Friday the 13th. In the meantime white they are solving this perplexing problem we can go right on as we have for several hundred years and be just as happy. #»**•*****»•••*** * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat Fi e * * Twenty Years Ago Today July 23—Lifeless body of unknown man found along Erie just west of town and two tramps held on suspicion.

Old Timers Without a doubt the pioneer was' not n "standardized” individual. I was remarkable how some of t lies old timers’ stood out as examples of, intense individualism. In calling at - j tention to certain ones you will please; remember that 1 urn looking out of j my own little narrow window and giving you memories of my own viewpoint hut at that while there was a great many others who 1 might name who had equal characteristics, these i that I (all attention to at least werej recognized as being unusual all over j the county. Over in I'nfon was David Erwin. Hiram Gladden. George Luekey. In 1 Root: John McConnell. John Chris en, John K. Evans. John Fonner, Henry Hobrock, John Dirkson, Thomas Mai-, lonee. In Preble: Charles Ewpl, William Fruehte, Jacob Spangler. In Kirkland: John T. Halter, Samuel Beavers, Daniel Weldy. In Washington: Jesse Brandyberry, Simeon Hines, Casper Heiman, Charley Merryman, Caret Heiderman, George Frank. In \?t. Marys: Irvin Acker, David Dailey, S. B, Fordyce. John W. Peterson. In Blue Greek: Davidson \lattox, Jacobi Wechter. John C. Tyndaß. In Mon-| roe: Bazzel Hendricks. George H. Martz. In French: V D. Bell. Eugeni' Morrow, Fred Ashbaucher. Dot French. In Wabash: Mark Aspy, P. X. Col-! lins. Dr. Snow. In Jefferson: Sum Fetters, Jonathan Kelley. In Hartford: Robert Simison, William Snyd-; er. Now 1 knew personally all these! men. They were grew: fellows. Every-! one. amazingly different but all cut mtt of the same cloth of the time) “when men were men.” Remember I most of these men flourished in the i SO’s, 7u's and SO’s and of course, when I knew them the years were bending them considerable. But none of 4hem ever came to Decatur without calling on Judge Studabaker or my father and f am proud to have known them. Some of these men were not learned in booklore. Some of them were! finely educated. Doctor Snow was an outstanding figure in the early life of the county, ran for congress once I believe. Henry Hobrock was a very mountain of a man and was a little king over in his territory. I forgot to mention Adam Pease over in Kirkland township. He was'a giant of a| man, smart as awhip and of prodigous; strength. They tell the story that at j one time he overtook a man driving! a log wagon with a huge log thereon, but a rear wheel had come off letting that end of the wagon down. The man -had started to roll the log off so that lie might replace the wheel. “Hold on” said Adam, “no need to do that, get your wheel,” and the big fellow laying hold of the wagon heav J •ed It up and held it up while the man replaced the wheel. You can better believe that all and, sundry, sooji know that slorv. Ii slid Mot possible. Over- in Blue Creek 1 like to remember Davidson Mattox, one of the kindest characters I ever met and he lived until jusl a few years ago. Down at Geneva I knew X'at Heas.on who ran the "Herndon House.” He certainly was a character. ! knew old Uncle Josiah Crawford of Monroe township and he was about the grandest old man of them all. He was county commissioner for a long time

I and beloved by all who knew him. Over in Blue Creek was Henry Stacy, a very unusual man. Down in Root was Uncle John \Yoy who will be an , inspiration for a long time- Here at Decatur I could name them till the j cows came home but I cannot name them all but if I have conveyed to ' you the feeling that these men were 1 1 he “salt of the earth” and as able pioneers as ever went into the uni charted wilderness and (arved out a Skingdom, then lam content. We shat! j never see their like again. They were j 'if an age that is gone. Their work is I done and there are no more such I world's to conquer. The first century I of tliis territory's settlement will for ! ill time be pre-eminent i nsong and story. Succeeding centuries can only build on the foundations that they made.
