Few modern architects could match the craftsmanship which was employ,l in erecting the buildings. They ar e of heavy stone, covered with smooth cinder stucco composition. The proportions of their facades and the designs formed by perfectly arranged doors and windows give the buildings a remarkable degree of unity. .. Only one change has come over the village since it was founded in 1843. That is the name by which the town is known. Tete des Morts was the name of this Catholic settlement in the early days. The name it is said had its origin following a battle of . two Indian tribes. Just An Old Custom The story goes that a young chieftain of the Winnebagoes named Watumni had fallen in love with the beautiful daughter of a Fox Chieftain. Nita. But Nita scorned Watumni’s love and following an old Indian custom the latter spat in Nita's face. That may have been custom but it wasn't polite. A war followed in which many were killed and injured. The blood of their bodies reached a stream which flows through St. Donatus and the French pioneers, seeing the reddened waters, suggested the name Tete des Morts. The stream still is known by that name. Upon agreement the name was changed to Saint Donatus after their patron saint. The inroads of modern progress have left a mark in the settlement, however. Years ago there were two blacksmiths, a shoemaker, a miller, a tailor, and a harness maker but today there is one blacksmith, a creamery, a garage, a pool hall, a postoffice, and a general store. One school is maintained in the village with four nuns as instructors. But the art of modern lovemaking and advice as to how to become popular flappers and flaming Lotharios has no part in the curriculum. Instead the children are taught two languages and the arts of the profession which they think, they want to follow. Each year sees the population of the settlement dwindle. Some of the homes are now empty but they still maintain their architectural beauty. — —o Lloyd George Criticises Young Reparations Plan London, July 27 —.UP)—The young report on reparations was criticized in the house of commons today by David Lioyd George, liberal leader, who suggested it be modified before it is accepted by England. "I am not objecting to the Young Plan on the ground that it retduces Germany's contributions," Lloyd i George said. "My objections are that 1 all the sacrifices are practically made at our expense. If there is to be ar. abatement of Germ|an annuities, it ought to be distributed fairly amour the claimants. This is not the case. We have been asked to foot the bill. — o Dislocates Shoulder Donning Night Shirt: Decides To Wear Pajamas 1 Lincoln, Neb., July 27—(UP) Coney kammarcill has not decided whether be will adopt pajamas for street wear, ut he is convinced they are the proPer costume for bed.

Bulsraria Honors American Journalist, Hailed As Liberator Os That Nation

New Lexington, 0.. July 27 —(UP) Tile memory of Panuarius Aloysisus MacGahan, American journalist who for five generations has been liailed as Bulgaria's liberator, was honored at his tomb here recently by Simeon Radeff, Bulgarian envoy sent by rolay commission from his post at Washington. A romantic figure who followed campaigns from Siberia to the West Indies MacGahan rose from obscurity as a newspaper correspondent to the ranks of a national hero in Bulgaria. His stories for the New York Herald on tiie imperial drive to Khiva in 1871 resulted in his decoration by the Russian government. It was mainly through the efforts of MaGahan that the Russians later

One of MacGahan’s cherished hopes was realized when he lived to see the northern armies push the Turks to the Bosphorus. Illness contracted in his campaign caused his death a year after its close in 1878. Burial was at New Lexinghton near his birthplace, after the body was accorded international honors in Europe and Washington. .

SMUGGLING OF ALIENS DROPS ALONG COASTS Borders On North And South Now Provide Worst Problem By Cecil Owen (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, July 27—(UP)— Smugglers who formerly carried on a lucrative ttade through an extensive traffic in aliens who they landed in the remote inlets and coves of the United States' far flung coast line are disappearing from the high seas, immigration officials believed Combined efforts of the Coast Guard and Immigration Set vice have steadily reduced smuggling of aliens by the water route, although figures indicate an increase in aliens entering this country by land. More than 18,000 smuggled aliens were captured last year by the border patrol. By far the largest percentage of aliens smuggled into this country come byway of the land borders on the north and south, entering from Canada and Mexico, witli a small fraction of the total being landed by smugglers on the Florida coast, officials stated. Most aliens smuggled into this country by vessel have come from southern Europe, the Cape Verde Islands, Cuba and the Bahamas. It was customary fori the aliens to pay about 6200 a head to I the smuggler. Smugglers have been known also to inary Cubans or other foreign girls and bring them in legally as their wives- Sweethearts here of foreign girls sometimes paid to them smuggled through the Immigration barriers. One of the most serious problems confronting the Immigration Service now, Harris said, is the widespread use of fake documents by which aliens are enabled to present to American counsuls abroard false passports and birth certificates. This practice has become so extensive lately, he said, that it is baffling both the Immigration Service and State Department. While official figures indicate an ever-increasing tide of smuggled aliens is coming over the U. S. border lines, Harris declared the increased efficiency of the border patrol has resulted in more captures in this way the number of seizures is rising, but, Harris said, smuggling has not increased proportionately. o 3** * ¥**¥¥*¥¥« * NEWS FROM PREBLE * }{¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥S Berneta and Oscar Hoffman, and Inez Parker motored to Plymouth.

You remember Goliath DON’T overlook the smaller advertisements in this paper. Look them over. The message which an advertisement conveys is vastly more important than the mere size of the space it fills. Some of the biggest values are often described in type no larger than ordinary news-print. THE safest method is to read all the advertisements, large and small. Experience proves that it is time well spent. The more time you spend in preparation for shopping, the less actual time you will have to be on your feet in the stores. READ the advertisements in this paper and you will know in advance just what to buy, where to buy it. and how much you will have to pay for it. You will conserve your own energy and that of the salespeople whose job it is to wait upon you. Preshopping in the advertising columns is simply common sense. IF you have been skipping the little advertisements in this paper, decide now that you will give them a hearing after this. It will be as much to your advantage as it will be to the advantage of the merchant or manufacturer whose name is signed to the advertisement. Referring again to size, there’s a little boy ■ in the movies whose salary makes that of many a man look like petty eash. Decatur Daily Democrat
