No citizen of this community was held in higher regard, a thorough gentleman, a quiet, unassuming. . straight-forward man of integrity, - a-Christian, upright and honest, industrious and always in favor of those tilings he felt best for his •' community, he has for years been considered one of the leaders. When a boy he entered the store of his father, Jesse Niblick, and soon acquired an interest in the business. He has been connected with tlie Niblick store ever since i . and his knowledge of the line and his square methods of dealing have contributed largely to his success. He was also connected during his life in numerous other business enterprises ami was always active in general affairs. He served for many years as a director of the Old Adams County bank, as a member of the board of school trustees and of the board ot the Methodist fllurch. His genial smile aud his pleasant manner won for him a host of friends such as few men have had and held so long a period and his advice and his conservative opinions were always valuable. We deeply regret his passing as do all of the many who have known and admired him. His upright life wil always be a lesson and he will be missed in many circles. To his breaved relatives w.e join in extending sincerest sympathies. The spot in Adams county where Henry Lowe, first white man to live tn this section, had his home has been located, down in Blue Creek township and the proof found by French Quinn, local historian, establishes it beyond any question, li should be marked by some organization soon with a suitable monument and the spot near the Monroe street bridge where Decatur was located nearly a hundred , years ago should also have a marker so that future generations may know just when and where these two important events occurred. Mr. Quinn, Mr. Snow and others who have aided in gathering information of such importance, deserve credit for their untiring work. Your home store is one operated by your friend. He has proven his Isfraky many times in the past and will continue to do so if you permit him to stay in business and tlie way to do that is to patronize ■ <■ ■■ ■ - «~i r i i.l _i- . i j | _ni ij_ Makes You Look Years Younger The skin of youth lies in every box of new wonderful MELLO-GLO • Face Powder.

Keep your dollars at home as much as you can aud every body will benefit. A community without churches, schools, parks, good streets and other improvements aud utilities would not be much ot a place in which to live or near which to reside. Patronize those who maintain them. Tlie city of Logansport has lost more than three thousand population the past decade which is rather uuusual for towns that size. Many smaller cities have gone backwards according to the new census but in most of the towns over 10,000 there has been an increase, Must be something wrong over in Cass county. President Hoover has postponed a decisiou on the prohibition question until next December by which time he is expected to have a final report from Wickersham's commission. it is a ticklish problem and about every body puts off a decision on it as long as he can and of course an expected delay under a commission form of government. Tlie primary campaign is practically over. It has been a rather long itud more or less strenuous one for the candidates, some of whom have been at it since February. Tomorrow- the election will be held and then conies tlie counting and the tallying. By midnight tomorrow night you will probably i know the winners. The democrats present for your consideration as fine a bunch of candidates as were ever in the field. Choose those you feel will best serve you as officers for thats after all the best politics. If those elected do their jobs well Unpeople will continue to support the party accountable for them. Vote early tomorrow if vou can, but vote any way. The polls will be open from six to six Standard time and from seven to seven Daylight Saving time. Make your arrangements accordingly. The stock market is jumping again, mostly downward and a rush of salts in every large exchange has caused a panic, lighter than tlfc one of last December but enough to make a lot of people swear off agaiu on gambling at this lancinating game. Hope you wasn't so busy with politics and other matters that you overlooked your taxes, this being tjie ’ast day for the payment of that bill. If you did you can charge yourself up with a ten per cent extra overhead. If further proof that times are a little off is necessary wc have it in the report that John D. Rockefeller, billionaire, is giving nickels away instead of dimes. — o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File | ■■ I W ■- ■■■ I ,1 „__ mm* Mary s—John5 —John W. Ruth and daugh er.

A fine display was shown of all these things. The fair whs a great success Now why was the best and most valuable possession of the farm people not on display? Yes, I mean our babies. Let's have a baity health contest this year. Everyone would like to see one and certainly wc want to give our babies a chance, as well as any of our possessions. What do you say, fair committee and farm people? z"A fair enthusiast” Star Gazing Now witli the discovery of three mqre planets the spriug planeting season is booming . . . How about calling one of the new planets Hoover Prosperity”? You can't see it with the naked eye. . . name another one “Farm Relief." That's far away . . . And it you think this rather hard on Herb just glance over the prosperity parody read in the Senate by Mr. Blease: Hoover is my Shepherd. I am in want; He maketh me to lie down on pari; benches: He leatcth me besides great need; He restorcth my doubt in the Republican party; He leateth me in the paths of destruction for his party's sake. Yeah, though 1 walk through the valley of the shadow of starvation 1 do fear evil; for thou art against me; Thy politician; and profiteers they frighten me; Thou prepares! a reduction in my salary before mon in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anoinest my income witli taxes; My expenses runneth over my income. Surely unemployment and poverty will follow wc all tlie days of the Republican administration. Ami 1 will dwell iu a rented house forever. A Farmer. o —— _____ ) I BIG FEATURES OF RADIO I i l ♦ • Monday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 193 Q by UP. WJZ (NBC network) 4 p.m. cst. —Mormon Choir.
