We should - all celebrate it and while we don’t do it as noisily as we used to, we are all thankful for the old declar- «. ation which made us free and 2 equal. • Business is fairly good, consider- • •> ering every thing and a little push- •» ing will keep up the average.

I TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ CU.R) 4 Treherbert, Wales.—Mrs. Dan Thomas stopped breathing for three minutes while undergoing an operation for appendicitis hwich was successfully comI pl eted after artificial respiration was applied. ♦■ — ♦ but as there are to be only twelve districts instead of twenty-eleven, they will probably be able to get every thing ready for the fall business. The bank situation in Decatur is clearing rapidly as we were sure it would, once the people got their feet on the ground and looked things straight in the face. It remains only for the people to continue their support and within a few weeks the terrible few days we passed through will be only a memory and the community will be better in every way as a result of the "wash out.” Citizens of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, celebrate their "Independence Day” May 20 instead of July 4. On May 20, 1775, the farmers of this county got together and signed a declaration of independence of their own from British rule, more than a year before the one signed at Philadelphia. All schools, banks and business houses close in the county on May 20 and local civic bodies observe the date as "Independence Day.” Tired of having his filling station robbed, Ferdinand Blank, Mt. Clemens, Mich., rigged up a burglar alarm that started bells to ringing all around the place whenever set off. Burglars have made six calls at the station since that time, but Blank hasn't lost a cent as the alarm has so far frightened them away before they got to the money till. After each attempted robbery, Blank has added a new noise-mak-ing or fright-producing jigger and now besides the bells, has shrieking sirens, police whistles and lights that flash on and off. The locking up of deposits in the banks which have been forced to close has worked a hardship not only upon individuals but upon the various corporations. However, this will be worked out it is believed, so there will be no great inconvenience and calls attention to the fact that banks are a very necessary public utility. It is the duty of every citizen to support them when they know they are being honestly and efficently conducted as has been true in all the banks of this county. When he started his first store John Wanamaker wasn’t 23. During the first day the new firm sold $24.67 worth of men’s collars, cuffs and neckties. Young John put 67 cents into the cash drawer to make change next day and took the $24 to the office of the Philadelphia Public Ledger to pay for an advertisement of the new store. Ten years later his sales were averaging $15,000 a day, and in 1873, twelve years after he opened his store, he the largest retail clothing business in the United States, spoken of as the most daring in its innovations. Macmillan has just brought out a biography of this genius of the business world —and how much genius in the business world is just sheer good sense in advertising! o In Loving Memory of My Mother MRS. HARRIETT P. McMILLEN. who died June 28th, 1911, in Decatur, Indiana. Forget you! Dear, all beauty is a thorn Tty.it stabs us with remembrance of you. And though we pass to far uncharted lands And though our feet be wet with alien dew, You'll be beside us in the dawn and dusk Throughout our waking hours and in our dreams. Why, you are more than ever present now, And distance brings us nearer you, it seems. Minnie Orvis O'Brien, Marion, Indiana.

The Sign of an OUT ■ OF ■ TOWN - ROOFER ON YOUR HOUSE IS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF

1 IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO DECATUR LABOR. Many carpenters maintain homes and support families in our city. Employment has been scarce enough when divided among our local carpenters. Why give your work to strangers? 2 THE SIGN OF THE STRANGE ROOFER GENERALLY MARKS THE HOME OF AN EASY MARK FOR SMART PEDDLERS. Some fast talking salesman has stung that house owner for a salesman’s expense and commission added to the real value of the roof. 3 THE SIGN OF THE STRANGE ' ROOFER ON THE USUAL COMPOSITION SHINGLE OR ROLL ROOFING JOB MARKS THE HOUSE OWNER AS NO JUDGE OF VALUE. He probably does not know the number of pounds of roofing to t(ie square when applied to the roof is the all-important distinction between different roofs. The smart salesman has probably shown him a thick sheet of roofing which looks heavy but is applied to the roof so that it makes only one thickness weighing about 100 pounds to the square. He believes this is better than a slightly
