Keep smiling and working. That's the one and only way to lick this old world and those who are successful have nearly all followed at least a part of that rule. If the Massachusetts man who has buried three wives within a year steps on the gas a little he may be living happily with a fourth lady by Thanksgiving time. The cool wave is not unexpected and in most instances unwelcome. The thermometer has outdone itself the past week and records were brokand in most instances is welcome. The down town section of Decatur will be decorated for the street fair and you are asked to hang out a flag and to make any other convenient decoration at your homes. Lets give the old town a holiday attire for the crowds who visit here next week. Read the advertisements. That’s what they are put in the paper for. Usually they contain announcements of importance to you, telling you where and when you can buy the best goods for the least money. Those Chicago fliers who annmnibCTT they would remain in the air two months probably meant it but have found that it requires more than will power. They were forced to land after 291 hours because of magneto trouble. This gives the Hoosiers boys a chance to break the record established in St. Louis a few' weeks ago. The Graf Zeppelin landed safely in Friedrichshafen, Germany, completing the trip around the world and an extra lap. Great achievement and probably the start of hundreds of trips of similar nature. Dr. Eckener has been in conference at Akron, Ohio, several days, with leading business men of this nation and it is said that plans are being made for regular Zeppelin trips around the world. Roger Babson, who is sometimes right in his guessing, predicts a smash in stock values that will make everybody “wiggle.” Others declare the prosperity era has scarcely started and that the way to get rich is to invest in those industries which lead their fields. We don't know which is right aud doubt if any one else does, even those so wise as Mr. Babson, so we can only paddle our own canoes and wait and watch. Keep the street fair clean and wholesome. Police should see that there are no “skin games,” rib filthy shows, no open gambling. Entertainment is fine and a midway has become a part, of every fair but that should not mean free reign to violate the laws. The Legion boys are anxious that the fair leaves a good taste and will do all they can to keep the morale of the week up. They will appreciate any friendly aid from the citizens. All set for the big fair. It will open next Tuesday and indications are that it will be better than advertised. New features are being added and there will be something doing every minute. Have a good time but don't overlook the big displays of r stock, fruit, flowers, cattle, horses, hogs and other livestock, the pet

That's to be a great part of the fair. ____________ It local taxes are Increased it will be because of a boost in the state rate. Based upon the same state rate as last year, taxes for Decatur will be just the same as last year, nothwithstunding the fact that election expenses and other items increase the budget thousands of dollars. Every effort has been made by all the officers of the various taxing units to hold down the rate, while meeting the necessary demands for new improvements. Harry Sinclair, oil operator who is serving some time in jail at Washington, used to be a drug clerk and so he has been having a rather fine time in the jail medicine shop. The jail physician has been taking him with him on several trips a week. The public caught on to it and a howl went up that resulted in an order that while Sinclair is a prisoner he must be treated as one and without any special privileges. The fact that a man can write a check for a million or two shouldn't make any difference when he is doing time for a previous misdoing. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE To Keep Quinces Place quinces carefully in a barrel, using only perfectly ■sound fruit. Fill the barrel with water, faster on the head of the barrel aud put in a cool place. They should keep fresh all winter. Playing Cards When a deck of playing cards becomes old they have a tendency to stick together, but if they are sprinkled liberally with talcum, then shuffled, they will have the slick surface of new cards. Dusting Try using a ■small paint brush to Must crevices, ornaments or willow furniture. Never use a feather duster. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. How and when should a bride mail her “At Home” cards? A. They should he enclosed with the wedding invitations. Q. Is it advisable to use a knife or any sharp pointed instrument to clean the finger nails? A. No. An orange-wood stick is the best thing to use. Q. What does “au naturel” mean? A. It means plain, or simple, such as potatoes that are cooked in their packets.
