Stocks may go up and down, but — one thing is sure, American industry Is going to continue and that’s one sale v>ay to play the game. This is Street Fair week, when everyone is supposed to have a good time, wear a smile, enjoy the sights, ride the merry-go-round or terries wheel and meet their friends. No matter how dull the day the daily newspaper is expected to give its readers an item or two of interest and if you think it s an easy job, ■ try it. With additional lot sales in Home- . wood, the new subdivision to Decatur, ev dence is at hand that we are growing and that it won t be long until many new homes dot the western end of town. Aside from the attractions of the Street Fair, local merchants invite yov to come to Decatur this week to do your shopping. The new tail stocks are on display and practically every store offers you a reason why you should shop this week. The Chicago Tribune prints a cartoon showing the pushing off of crime news from the front page and aviation news taking its place.

Shumaker's recent illness, he has been taking a medicine containing 23 per cent alcohol and in writing to the sanitarium whore he secures the tonic he says, “it makes him feel queer.’’ The medicine cannot be obtained in Indiana, on account of the state's hone dry law, which i prohibits the use of alcohol for medicinal purposes Try to avoid accidents this week. | Traffic will be heavy arid drivers of i cars can avoid serious mishaps if they use their heads and drive carefully. * Second street has been roped off for the booths and exhibits and congestion of traffic will more than likely - result on other streets. Make the . week a pleasant one by doing your | part in carrying out the program. Americans love speed and they have ” a goal to strive for. Over in England ‘ Saturday an aviator attained a speed of 332.75 miles per hour, which is faster than we have any idea about. At this speed it would take only nine hours and 12 minutes to fly from New York to Los Angeles or less than three " hours to fly from New York to Chicago, which is speed enough on this earth. Some day someone will break that record, but he may find himself up on Mars or on top the moon. The saying is, “If you don’t toot your own horn no one will.’’ Few papers in a city of 5,000 population have the circulation and local coverage as does the Daily Democrat. With a daily circulation of more than 3.400, which if multiplied by four, the average number in a family, gives a daily

And without damage to the paint! That’s where ordinary “pot - and - pan” cleansers fall down —usually, if they remove the dirt and grime, they remove the paint. Wyandot is different < —it is safe! It was created by the largest manufacturers of special cleaning products in the world, at the request of great hotels, hospitals and office buildings, for the special job of cleaning expensive paint and enamel. fThat was twenty-five years ago —and nothing has ever taken its place. It preserves as well as cleans fine surfaces. Saves time, energy, money. Costs only 15c. Get Wyandot at your store. W yandot } > Orleans I . .
