Extreme hot summers are usually followed by extreme cold , winters, in other words the seasons usually average up during the twelve months. It may be well to plan for a long, hard, cold win- 1 ter. Any way that's the safe way to play the game. The hot weather will be over ; one of these days and the fellows 1 who have filled the basement with coal, wood, kindlings, potatoes, apples, cabbage, sauer kraut and other things that come in handy < throughout the winter season, will be the wise ones. The Erie railway has followed the Nickle Plate here and laid off the crossing watchmen. Whether they can do that without the permission of the city authorities is perhaps a point yet to be decided but evidently they propose to try. The signal lights will be used instead. Come on boys, advertise your goods and go out after business. The longer you sit around playing with your thumbs, the longer your books will show the red ink.

R. Earl Peters, chairman of the Indiana democratic state committee has arranged eight meetings over the state, to be attended by workers and leaders and candidates. These events will start next Monday and continue the two weeks following that date. Adams county democrats are invited to attend the first meeting to be held at the Anthony hotel In Fort Wayne next Monday. It is‘believed these meetings will bring about the greatest possible cooperation between the candidates and the organization and will be the groundwork of a campaign that will produce a great victory next November. One of the most notable changes in civic and industrial life is the present attitude of so-called “big business’’ toward the people as a whole. It has not been so many years since big business followed a “public be .damned” policy, but every day now we see instances

of our biggest corporations taking the public, into their confidence as evidence that our corporations cherish the good will of those whom they serve. Just a few days ago we saw such an example in our own city. Some property owners presented a petition to our city council asking that -a well known oil company be required to move its bulk storage tanks to a more remote part of the city. Before any official notice had been received by the oil eomfWn.V'and their only information being received from a newspaper story, its general manager and its chief attorney came to Franklin and spent a whole day here interviewing the city officials, visiting their bulk tank station and finding out first hand if their company was guilty of operating a nuisance. This action of two important officials of the company served to promote a lot of good will for they showed by their interest in coming that they did not desire to be guilty of operating a station that was in any way objectionable to the people. Good will advertisements are a regular policy of many of our large corporations and that they pay big dividends is proven by the .■hanged attitude of the public toward these corporations. This new policy of big business is one of the most hopeful signs of a better and bigger day for industry in America.—Franklin Star. It is not surprising that Clifford Smith, deputy attorney-general of Kentucky, urged, at his recent conference with Indiana highway commission officials, that work on the proposed Ohio river bridge at Evansville’ be started. Kentucky has everything to gain and nothing to lose. No definite decision was reached and another conference will be held in Ixniisville. Most of the bridge will be in Kentucky territory, only the north approach resting on Indiana soil. Its estimated cost is $1,000,000, divided equally between Kentucky and Indiana, and the contract into which the two states entered has been declared binding by the United States supreme court. By the terms of this agreement Kentucky is to issue $2,000,000 in bonds to finance its share of the cost. Tolls will be charged when the bridge is completed until Kentucky is repaid. Indiana conGbutes approxi- ! mately $2,000,000 and does not get back a cent in tolls. The sum of

$2,000,000 would build a good many miles of paved road. It would help to build other bridges that are needed as badly as the Evansville I bridge, but Kentucky apparently 1 has no notion of suggesting any ’ changes in the contract. Indiana I ought to recover as much from . tolls as Kentucky, but the contract does not read so and whatever Indiana pays toward the construction of the bridge will not return in any form. —Indianapolis News. o ♦“TWENTY YEARS ~ AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File l i July 30—Nebraska Mathews in a. “tight squeeze" when team runs away and he was pinned between the gamon and fence, but escaped bruises.

FRED HOFFMAN Her busy years have briskly rolled along In strict accord with Father Time's own clock; The pendulum, in even ceaseless pace, Swung to and fro, each second with a tock Helped her mark her years on Time’s round dial face. Each year in exact hour the former chased From off the stage of life Into the past To nevermore appear, nor be retraced. Her roll of years have grandly been unreeled. What have they wrought? Whose life was nobler made? Her life, like shadows, swiftly glided by. Oft through a glen and then an open glade. Or like a dream that brings us joy, or fear. Or smiles, or tears, or peace, or dread, or sigh. So life of hers was one of care and toil, Then it passed on where life and love ne’er die. And now may mother's life of golden thought Find a rebirth in her survivor's hearts That will illuminate and cheer their path On life's short march that gracious time imparts. For mother's, golden deeds, per-

formed in home, Cannot, hy years, from children’s mind* be chasen. Though earthly clay dissolves, goes back to earth, Her deeds Immortal are.—can t he effaced. True*hearted mother, shining star for Christ, Is still a beacon-light on sea of life For her survivors, pointing to the And anchors faith in Him midst storms and strife. The hand that led the child in infant days Midst struggles and temptations long and hard, Still gives it aid (though voice Is hushed in death), While cruising storm-tossed seas with Christ as guard. Yes, mother's life has been a boon of help To you, dear children, on life s rugged way. In days of gloom, discouragements, She often found away out of dismay. 'Twas mother's prayers pointed to heavenly port, Was compa.se for your souls when tempted sore; „ A morning star to shine upon your way. The evening star to courts above e'ermore. Yours Sincerely, S. H. BAUMGARTNER, Old Time Acquaintance. o—-- — — ■ 4 • I | JUNIOR BAND ITEMS | ' ARLINE BECKER, Editor ft K Hello Everybody! Well, we certainly were glad to see you all again last night.

“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. They 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. In fairness to yourself look over all the advertisements. Phe smallest and the largest— you never can be sure which one will tell something you really want to know. Decatur Daily Democrat
