He was probably a politician and an expert at both. We insist that it would help Deca- ' tor to beautiiy the river banks, especially in the north part of the city and we promise you next year, the good lord permitting we will start the campaign for that purpose early. If some arrangement is to be made ' to take care of the Pennsylvania 1 crossing north of .Monmouth, it should be made before a serious accident ! occurs there. The state highway Com- ’ mission might hurry it along if prop- 1 erly petitioned. Zaro Agna, a Turk, 155 years old. ' is to make a tour es the United States J it is annour. ed. If he speaks the i truth about his age he is certainly a i remarkable man. This is his farewell trip and will be one he should remember as long as he lives. The state highway commission is! asking the farmers who have corn fields near cross roads to cut the corn as ;» m isure of safety for the , motorists. Seems mighty unfair that a farmer 1 . <an t operate his farm as 1 he feels is best for his own use. Perhaps the motorist should so-operate , by slowing up at such corners. „, 1 1 Some times we wonder whether tin 1 education is worth what it costs. The Marion county board of education , and board of commissioners have re- > fused to increase the salary of the county superintendent of schools over $3,600. but they pay twice that to a lot of officers who have far less "book lamin’" and more opportunities for side issues. The Zeppelin flew 6.600 miles in a hundred hours, the most successful air flight eve: made anil Germany lias a right to lit very proud of the achievement. What it holds for the future we can not guess but it has been proven that such a ship can safely sail across oceans, mountains, through every climate and air condition and that’s something. A resolution will lie offered at the i next session of congress to make expresidents ex-officio members of the United States senate. Os course they will draw the regular salary, look wise and soon find out that recommendations from them are not taken seriously by the regulars who feel they know as much as any one, even if he has had the job as chief executive. They would probably be just expensive decorations. A lady who left here twenty-six years ago returned for an over-the-week-end visit. During her stay she motored over nearly every street and wax’amazed at- tire improvement and the growth of Decktur. She was loud in her praises' as are all who drive our shaded, well lighted streets, lined with beautiful homes. We are proud of Decatur and we are glad when people come from the outside and tell us that everything wt» have claimed for it is true. A

TODAY’S CHUCKLF Fall* City, Neb., Aug. 20.—(U.R) —A baseball game between the Fells City business and professional men recently had ample police protection. Conetable Kirk umpired behind the plate, Sheriff Davies at first base, Policeman Asendorf at second, and Chief Sailors at third. One of the features for the coming street fair and agricultural show to be held here September 10th to ,14th, will be the flower show. This can and should be made one of the most attractive exhibits of the event. The committee In charge of Mr. Calland is striving toward that end and will I appreciate your co-operation. There ■ is nothing of much greater impor-1 tance than the beautifying of the community and the more interested in flowers, the keener that interest becomes. Substantial premiums are offered and the committee wishes all who can to help them see that as large a number of entries are secured as is possible. And then after it is complete, you are invited and I urged to call and bring your friends. , You will all enjoy it. Inquiries for residences and business houses and sites continue to come in to Decatur, indicating more than passing interest in this city which has continued to go forward the past several years, steadily and without a boom. Naturally property owners. desire all they can get on. their investments but a word of ■ warning at this time might be wellmany a good town has been choked from growing because of that desire becoming too strong. You are en-l titled to a fair price but anything more than that is just holding back your community. Give serious thought to the proposition and if you own vacant lots and do not wish to build yourself, dispose of them at such a price as will enable some one else to improve the community. oHousehold Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE The Sick Room Should the bed clothing of the sick I bed become wet, there is no better way to dry it than with a hot water' bottle, placed between the bed covers Ink Stains on Rugs * For removing ink stains from rugs, make a paste of buttermilk and starch, apply and leave it for two or three days.

Constipation Cone Hf j Soses In Ker Cheeks Now • A-a “About seven years ago, I was dying slowly of constipation. My system was full of poison, which not only dulled my senses, but my complexion was muddy, eyes blurred, my stomach was ruined, and I was continually catching cold. I did not have any life or energy. “After reading one of your ads, I bought a bottle of Tan-a-wa and began improving at once. Improvement was so marked that everyone noticed it, and spoke of how it cleared my skin, made my eyes much brighter, and put rosek in my checks. In fact, I was an entirely different person. I took altogether 7 large bottles of Tan-a-wa and looked wonderful and felt the same w-ay. It absolutely made me over. It adds more to your looks than anything I have ever heard of. After I had taken the first 3 bottles, people began to notice the improvement in my skin and my eyes being brighter. “Every woman should know of it. I have never had a pain since I took Tan-a-wa, no stomach trouble or constipation. I think it is a God-send to humanity.” ORPHA M. HART W.
