A terrible accident occurred at the junction of the Decatur and Tillman .2 roads Saturday evening, another warning that we should always stop automobiles when approaching a cross road and especially one of ‘ heavy traffic thoroughfares. They are making quite a fuss now because some lad trying to get his ** name and that of his town in the papers kept a kite in the air twenty—two hours. In the old days the boys could keep a “kite out” that many days. Indianapolis is raising funds for another hospital claiming that the spacious ones already located there can not take care of the applications for admission. Seems as though our hospitals and jails are doing the most thriving business these days. Interesting announcements «r<J«»oping made by those in charge of the coming street fair and you will enjoy reading them. Watch this paper each evening from now on until the big week is over for there will be a message for your entertainment every day. Fifteen thousand dollars of the Guggenheim fund is being used to find a “foolproof airplane. If they do and you get the tip in time, buy airplane stock with all the money you can borrow and beg for they will be more popular than other travel machines when that time comes. Let’s not forget that one of the big things to do in the future is to beautify the river banks. It's quite a big | job but it would be fine if we could at least have an expert come and plan and estimate the ultimate cost of doing the right kind of a job. Even if it takes several years it will be well • wor.h doing. While it may take years to com plete beautification of the river banks what should prevent such work as - can be done in the meantime to make • it more presentable, especially on ■ that s'reet just this side of the north bridge? By all means this should be taken care of for next year • and each succeeding year. • Walter Camp. .Jr., is to wed Ruth • Elder, according to a statement from • Ruth herself. Perhaps he isn't so • particular about his wife staying • close to the fireside as Ruth's previ- « ous husband was and then perhaps he , will be able to keep her there more. ’ There is something in organisation, they ray. • q coincidence that Mrs. Mill- ■ er who played on the site of Home- ■ wood fifty years ago when it was known as Nuttman’s woods, should name the new addition. This lady is very proud of the distinction and so expressed herself when she called at this office. She has faith in Homeweed becoming a popular section of

T .- Decatur and her opinion is voiced by many others whom we have heard express themselves Boys should not hop on wagons. The sad accident which occurred Saturday when little Lawrence Tludal was so badly hurt should serve as a warning to others. Mr. Whitright who operates the ice line says that peeping the lads off his wagon is one of their tribulations. He says the drivers are constantly worried for fear some one will be hurt and asks tire parents to assist him in keeping them from hopping on the rear platform. Welcome teachers of Adams county In attendance at th© Adams county institute. We are sure ylu will enjoy every moment of the splendid program arranged for you by Superintendent Striker and we hope you otherw-ise enjoy the hospitality of Decatur. If there is anything yj'U want and will ask for it, Mr. Striker will do his best to get it for you and if he calls on any citizen here he will find earnest co-operation. We are glad to have you and hope you return often. The city tax rate for next year will be seventy-one cents per SIOO valuation, the same as this year. When it is considered that overhead for taxing units increases the same as they do for any other business you will see that it's a difficult job to hold a tax rate down. In this city this was made harder by the fact that considerable money is needed to take care of fire protection necessary to secure the reduction in rates. The officers have been very careful, have improved the city noticeably and deserve your heartiest support. » o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. When entering a picture show or church, isn't it all right to take the end seats? A. Yes, this is permissible, of couise, but consideration for others is shown by taking the central seats, and consideration for others is a fundamental principal of good breeding. Q. When an unmarried woman is writing a business letter should she use the prefix. Miss? A. Yes. Write (Miss) in parenthesis before the signature. Q. Is it all right to break bread or crackers into the soup? ? A. No; this is not good form. o ■ FAMILY REUNION CALENDAR August 29 Fifth annual reunion of Foor Family, William High farm, 1 mile southeast of Ohio City. Ohio.

_ Household Scrapbook By I ROBERTA LEE ■ The Refrigerator Afler a meal gather all the things together that are to go in the refrigerator and put them in at one time. Each time the door opens the refrigerator loses some of Its chill, so it pays to open the door as few times as possible, particularly in hot weather. Tomato Soup A pinch of soda added to the tomato soup before the milk is stirred in, is a good insurance against curdling. Paint Cans To preserve partly used cans of pain cover with melted paraffhe and the paint will keep indefinitely. o ‘ TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat Fie * * Twenty Years Ago Today August 26 — Large crowdrf a. the fair and races and exhibits are fine.

DEC.VITR CITIZEN URGES SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT (CONTINVF.n I'HO'I week this summer and noticed I hat the river was no clean and asked my sou why it was and lie hh1«! “come with me and I will show you.” Ho took me out to the disposal plant and said thia is the reason whe have such a nice river. “All the filth of the city Is accumulated here and consumed ". I was not Inside of the building and do not know just how It is done, but know that by some chemical process it Is consumed. Austin is a city of fourteen thousand and has the largest packing plant .west of Chicago but not a bit of filth from the city or the packing plant gits Into the river, in fact the boys and girls go in bathing right side of the packing plant and the water is as elean as our northern lakes. 1 also noticed that the river hanks are clean. No tin cans, brick bats <>l brush, and the banks clear through the town have a nice park effect, and I said "what an opportunity for Decatur to make improvement if they would adopt a system like they have in Austin.'’ Visiting people often stop in the Decatur postoffice to mail cards back homo and t. ke the remark to us that we have .. nice little city with brick str.' ;s, n'y of hade trees and nice light at iiiga*. but neve - word about our river or r 'a’ll,- S’-'.' this is an opportunity loi . » aJiorities to make a wonderful improvement.
