In Washington and Blue townships where increases will be necessary that fact is due to added improvements. There is probably no city in the country the size of Decatur with two talkie theaters, proving that we lead in every thing. There is certainly no reason tor leaving here for amusement and entertainment. The Cort theater here is adding a DeForest phonofilm, one of the latest talking machines. This s weed cutting season and every time you whack one of 'em off you are doing a real favor to a lot of folks as well as improving the general appearance ot your town or your county. Weeds higher than your head on a vacant lot, along the streets or alleys or along the highways are several kinds of a detriment. When the improvement at the Decatur power plant are completed it will bo one of the best in the country and that’s not all for its equipment is unexcelled, its management fine and the fact that a handsotne net profit is shown annually makes it a great asspt to the city. And there are indications Of-its farther growth before long. Through the Hoosier Auto Association and the county highway superintendents the rural roads have been well marked in most sections but the average tourist is completely lost when he teaches a good sized town or

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 14.—(U.R) —Kathryn Gratz Travia has been granted a divorce from her husband on the ground that he bought clothes for “another woman," charging them to her. 1 1 — .. i i-ii - — city for in most of them you have to guess or inquire, even to find out the name of the street. Why wouldn't it Im> wise to mark the streets showing to what roads they lead? That's just a thought or a suggestion or whatever you care to call it. Census taking will start May Ist next and continue until June Ist, during which period the organization selected for the purpose must count the hundred and twenty-five million "noses" in this country. Some idea of how we have speeded up is shown by the fact that some years ago when the first national census was taken, thirteen months were required to ' count less than four million. I One of the first instructions given on the golf course is to be a lady or gentleman but Frank Conroy of the Van Courtland park links in Now York thought that a joke evidently. Detectives hired to ascertain why so many goif balls disappeared at the sixth hole, discovered Conroy in a bunch of bushes patting his dog on the head. He had trained Mashie to gather up the balls. He got ten days in the workhouse but not until after one of the detectives received a couple of bites on the tweeds from Mashie.

ELMER ENGLISH “I suffered and sought in vain tor relief from chronic constipation, rheumatism and attacks of neuritis,” said i Mrs. Elmer English, 1861 High Street. | Logansport, Indiana. “And all that I j got for my efforts was failure and disappointment. “Konjola was highly recommended to me and I finally decided to try it. Within a few weeks constipation was I totally relieved; the acid condition of the stomach was corrected, and since taking Konjola, I have not had an attack ot the rheumatism or neuritis. I know all the poisons have- been swept from my System, and that ho more are being absorbed because the former bowel trouble has been entirely removed. Konjola is simply wonderful; 1 had no idea there could be such a medicine.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Indiana, at Smith. Yager & Falk drug store and by all the best druggists in all the towns throughout this entire section.
