A hundred folks have told us they favor the river beautifying proposition and it is up to some organization to take hold of it and see that those things are done from year to year that will ultimately complete the job. The Daily Democrat will not oe published Monday that being the occasion when our employes enjoy a holiday. It’s Labor day and is observed by the trades people and their friends. Y u can not lose buying one of the lots in Homewood and you will have a safe i>w . invent. It's a fine thing to ov :i a piece of real estate, especially when so nicey located and in a coinmunity ;\ith srch a splendid outlook as we have here. The outstanding thing of the coming fa r here is the effort to promote agriculture. Os course fair week denotes gaiety and there will be plenty of it on the midway and other places, but don't forget that the exhibits of farm p: educts and livestock, of flowers and fancy work and other departments wi’l be worth seeing. If the street fair aids and encourages farming they it will live from year to year ' for every institution must have a reason if it continues and prospers. Some idea of how difficult it is to change the mind of a Kansan is shown in the result of two elections held a.. . ?.r apart at Coats. The first election held to decide whether or not the town should sell its municipal light plant resulted in three hundred votes being cast and 150 voting each way. The matter was discussed a year and another vote recently taken,, resulting exactly as before. There was not a death among the voters and no new citizens and no one changed his vote it seems. The town which goes forward mu.it have: Spirit, vision, a definite program. organization and workers who work With these, and we have them all. we can't he’p but progress to the satisfaction of every one. The people must lie friendly and fair and we must discourage petty gossip, vicious propaganda and loose talk; we must look ahead; we must have a civic program; of course we must have a working organization to carry out the pla. and then we must work. That will build a friendly, progressive and interest ng city in which it will be a pleasure to reside. Just at this season of the year it may be interesting to know that statistics prove that the boy who has a tommon school education has eight times more chances to succeed than the boy without school training; that the bov without any education and the boy with college training has 800 times more chances than the uneducated lad. The same table shows that only one out of 150,00 without grammar school education become distion; four out of 150,000 with grammar school aducation become disJinfctilsped; 87 put of 150,000 with & 41k sfrhcoi ' and 800 out pt 150.000 with college education, put over the big fight. Don’t quit school until you have to. —- — ——— Monday is Labor day, the occasion set apart by our government for paying respect to those who toil viitn

P TODAY’S CHUCKLE Altus, Okla —(UP)—"Oh, no. I'm not the least bit tired, said Mrs. May England, 63, recently as she finished a days trip from Anderson ’• | Texas a distance of 423 miles, She ' had ridden In the sidecar of a motorcycle driven by her son. their hands and a fitting one. With- j 2 out these men and women we woul I O' DI not accomplish much and it is one of JI the greatest steps in the progress of 5; America that conditions generally J have been improved for every class of laboring men. No where in all the j world is the man who works treated I as respectful as in this country, I and so long as the splendid feeling, ■ continues to exist between capital, and labor, that long will the count’."/ grow and continue to prosper. In this city business will suspend ; largely. In former years the county council held a meeting in August, considered 1 the budget, made a tentative estimate. ‘ which was published in the newspa- ' pers and then met in September foi final consideration. This year, upon the recommendation of the state ■' board holding that it was sufficient tor the auditor to publish the budget 1 in the form of requisitions ai d that ' the council meet in September to draft thpse requisitions in the form of a budget. Os course the result is the same, but working out a tentative budget and permitting a couple of) weeks to elapse before final consideration was of great help to the coun-' ty council. It permitted the taxpayers to study the tentative figures and to express their opinion to the council members. The council members were thus given an excellent chance to know the sentiment of the taxpayers. The work of the (Council is confine I to a one day session this year. The two day session was well worth the expense to the county. — Newcastle Courier. MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE .. Q. What is the best way t> decide) between a chuuch wedding or a home I wedding?

advertised" HOW many times you see those two words in the course of a day’s shopping: “This article for sale—as advertised.” And those two words are as welcome as they are familiar, for they form a bond of confidence between the merchant and yourself. They are his guarantee to you of worth and value. Here is an article that has been described in your newspaper. Its merits have been told; possibly, too, its price. You know exactly what you will get when you buy if. You know its quality; you know how it fits into your needs. And when you buy it, you know you are getting not some unproved substitute but the specified article—as represented. • It is easy to understand why that phrase, “as advertised,’ creates a feeling of confidence. You have learned to depend upon consistently advertised products. You know that the maker has confidence in them, else he would not spend money calling your attention to them day after day, and month after . montT. You know that they have been approved by the most critical of investigators—the buying public. And above all you know from experience that buying goods “as advertised ’ is the best investment you can make. o It pays to read the advertisements in the Decatur Daily Democrat
