These are days when any outfit, private S or public can mighty easily get ' out of cash it seems. _ a Advertising pays more in the dull r season than at any other time if 1 you work at it right.

The famous Goodyear Zeppelin will be a feature of the fair < and will carry passengers. Get < ready to have a good time here , and help make it. indications are that local taxes will not have to be increased for next year, though the county has been making a number of needed improvements. The commissioners and the councils will do every thing lluiy can towards that end and that is the proper spirit. If the tax i toulil be lowered it would help but we realize that to do that and still meet the demands of the public is about as impossible as shooting the moon. Old Babe Ruth is again proving he is any thing but a“dead one.” Each winter the sport writers tell us he is through and when he signed that $75,000 contract last • spring the public seemed dubious that he could equal his former records for home runs and crowd drawing. He is as good or better than ever at both. So far he has hit thirty-six home runs and is ahead of any previous season by several days. Good boy, Babe, we hope you can keep on doing it indefinitely. Some one seems to have been getting some fat bonuses on free gasoline taxes from the Hammond territory and they have started •» investigations. By the time the grand Jury has ground three

It seems as though the grafter has all tile best of things these days but it can't last forever. Only eighteen people attended the funeral of Jacob Eads How, held in the Taft Unitarian church in Washington and none of those were of the great hobo family for v hich How starved himself and to whom he had given his fortune. Whether it was ingratitude or extreme modesty has not been announced but after all it seems that i man who had worked a lifetime for charity should have been honored more at death. There is something worth thinking about in the story of this man’s life. Rural boys and girls are far outstripping their parents in the study of improved practices in farm and home work, according to a recent announcement by the department of agriculture, which shows that more demonstrations had been conducted by young people’s club than by those of adult membership. Considerably more than half a million farm boys and girls now participate in these demonstrations, which include the raising of various crops, animal husbandry, handling of poultry, food preparation, designing and making of clothing, home improvement and beautification, and. in fact every phase of rural life. Instruction in these activities, imparted by farm and home demonstration agents, serves to aid these boys and girls in improving rural farm and home practices, thereby fitting them to become efficient farmers and homemakers besides teaching them the fundamentals of public spirited, useful citizenship. While the enrollment and results obtained in club work are gratifying, consider ing the circumstances under which this effort has been put forth, the department points out that in the whole country only about one rural

boy and girl in twenty has the benefit of this training at present, although here in Noble county the percentage is much higher. Here is a field for constructive achievement which should interest all who have a regard for the importance of improving the conditions of rural living.—Kendallville NewsSun. o • —♦ I BIG FEATURES ’ OF RADIO I — I Saturday’s 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1930 by UP.

INVESTITURE BY KING POMPOUS CEREMONIAL Many Brilliantly Uniformed Attendants When Empire Honors Servants London. July 26. iU.R) -The tourist who comes to England to see the pageantry of this historic isle will never see one of the oldest and most colorful of Britisli ceremonies an Investiture by the king. A legion of officials, the origin of whose quaint titles is lost in antiquity, surrounds the king when he formally bestows honors anti titles upon the empire's servants. The officials wear full-dress uniforms of blue, gold and red, and the king usually wears the uniform of an admiral of the fleet. At a recent investiture at Buckingham palace, when Dean Inge and Sir John Simon were among those honored, the following officials were in personal attendance upon the king: Lord Chamberlain —- the Earl of Cromer. Gold Stick in Waiting — MajorGeneral Sir Cecil Bingham. Rear Admiral of the United Kingdom -Sir Montague Browning. Lord in Waiting — The Earl of Dunmore. First and Principal Naval Aide-de-Camp — Admiral Sir Edwyn Alexander-Sinclair. ”ide-de-Camp General-in-Waiting —Sir Alexander Cobbe.

“Somebody to see you” IF EVERYBODY with something to interest you should come and ring your bell, what a nuisance it would be! Think of the swarming, jostling crowd, the stamping of feet on your porch and carpets! Every day we know of many callers who come to see you. They never jangle the bell—they don’t take up your whole day trying to get your attention. Instead, they do it in away that is most considerate of your privacy and your convenience. They advertise in your newspaper! • In this way you have only to listen to those you know at a glance have something that interests you. I hey make it short, too, so you can gather quickly just what you want to know. You can receive and hear them all without noise or confusion in comparatively few minutes. r In fairness to yourself look oyer al! the advertisements. The smallest and the largest—you never can be sure which one will tell something you really want to know. Decatur Daily Democrat
