Most every one has concluded that calling in the governors for conference and passing a lot of silly resolutions which never carry any rather than the front pages, is a lot of apple sauce. Here is the i way it is told about in “A Line o' Type or Two” in the Chicago Tribune: ‘‘When the drought was at its droughtiest they took steps down at Washington to bustle around and help the farmer. Governors from all the afflicted states hustled around and held meetings and relief expeditions were started out to march night and day. Which was all right, and even the white collared class cheered * lustily, even though they stopped yelling now and then over the high prices they had to pay for chuck steak and also because they had lost their jobs. But now its raining, raining all over the place, rain pouring down everywhere, and the farmer is getting soaking wet, and nothing has been done about it yet. Hut there will be; you wait! All the governors will be called to Washington and asked how many farmers there are in their states and how many have umbrellas. It s likely that very few of the farmers have umbrellas, and so trainloads of umbrellas will be rushed to the stricken sections at once. If a farmer hasn't got an umbrella. then they'll give him a parasol. And if he. gets mad and won't carry the damn thing, then the life savers will strap it on his back and put a marine behind him with a bayonet to make him stay under it. Gosh! They have an awful time at Washington saving the farmer. But it’s wonderful the way they stick to it. Every year at this season interest in big league base ball reaches a high peak and as the world series approaches every one is ready for the battle of the professionals. Fans to the number of fifty thousand watched the game in' Chieago yesterday between the Cubs and the New York Giants and a million others took it by radio ami it was a battle royal. With the score a tie in the last half of the ninth inning, with two men out, the bases full and two strikes on Bush, the Cub pitcher, Taylor, steals the plate and wins the game, its such games as this that keeps Ulterest high in the great national sport. The president has selected Henry F. Fletcher of Pennsylvania to revise the Hawley-Smoot tariff which held iii> congress and the nation eighteen months. That's admission that its dead wrong and the joker is that Fletcher, a high tariff exponent will not take off a nickel that he doesn't have to. We doubt if he will make any showing that will help the real folks much and until that is done things won't be what they were once and ought to be. Adams Post of the American Legion is represented about one hundred per cent at the state convention in progress at Fort Wayne this week. The local boys, headed

If TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (u.ro ♦ Thorne, Eng. — Jack, a dog, ’ , collected 2,500 pennies for hospitals and died of verdigris I poisoning caused by the cop- , | pern he carried in his mouth. ♦'■ - ♦ by the General Electric band, which by the way is a great musical organization, and the Adams drum corp, handsomely uniformed, will make as good a showing as any post there. We are proud of our hoys and are sure they will add to the success of the annual meet in many ways. The census shows that more than 2,500,000 were unemployed in April and that was by no means the peak according to published information. That is one out of every twenty which is bad enough but when that is doubled as has been claimed, it becomes serious, it will be a tough thing to explain to the voters in the coming campaign if past results are any thing to use as a basis. Two weeks from now and the big street fair will be on. The Legion boys have given their very best under trying circumstances to make it better Than ever. We are sure you will enjoy it and will show your appreciation of the work of the committees by assisting in every way you can to make a great, big happy event. The Decatur school tax rate will not be boosted this year though efforts to reduce it have not been successful. It costs a lot of money to maintain good schools but its worth a lot of money and no sacrifice you make should be more cheerfully offered. Vincennes suffered from the floods last spring, then from the drouth and now their drinking ' water is bad. Water seems to be about the most important thing to talk about down in the town of old Alice. Its time to get ready for school and that's a very important job in most homes. This last week of vacation should be enjoyed to the limit and then every youngster , should start in to make this his 1 best year at his studies. The martins have gone south and i the old timers predict an early winter which is nothing new and besides what are we to do about ( it any way? Evidently Zuta didn't use all his powder and dynamite in his gang , warfare, he left plenty in his strong boxes, according to the evidence , now coming through. The dog days are about over and , its time to begin to hustle and bustle. Court, schools and business start next week. Get busy. o I BIG FEATURES OF RADIO I * i * < Monday’s 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1330 by UP. WEAF (NBC network) 6:30 p.m. cst.—A. & P. Gypsies. WJZ (NBC network) 7 p.m. cst. — Maytag Orchestra.

♦ ■■ - ■ ♦ Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE A Suggestion for Window SScreen If the window screens are painted on the inside with a thin white paint, it will not obstruct the view of the persons inside the house, but passers by cannot see within. If Water Glasses Stick When one water glass becomes stuck in another, pour cold water in the upper one to contract it, then immerse the lower one in warm water to expand it. They can then be easily separated. To Remove Skins from Beets After placing the beets in hot water for a short time, drain off the hot water and immediately fill the vessel with cold water. The skins will then come off very easily. —o * TWENTY YEARS ~ AGO TODAY | I From the Dally Democrat File I * « August 25, 1910—Dorcas Daughters of Reformed church picnic at Hoagland. I). E.

The School Officials of the Decatur High School offer your boys and girls three courses: 1-Academic 2-Commercial 3-General icademic I The Decatur School Board extends an invitation to the partints and to the students in townships not maintaining a high school to attend anti to enjoy the privileges anti comforts which are being offered by the Decatur school officials. Decatur High School offers plenty of room, a thoroughly trained faculty, well equipped class rooms, three approved curricula, well regulated class organizations, a continuous first class commission since 1911, a continuous North Central Certificate since 1908, a high standard recognition by all higher institutions of learning, in fact anything that is taught in a modern progressive high school. Decatur High School Curricula Consist of English 4 years Shorthand 2 years Public Speaking 1/2 year typewriting 2 years Business English /2 y x Advanced Sewing year Latin 4 years Manual Training 1 year German 2 years Mechanical Drawing 1 year Ancient History year Physics 1 year General History 1 year Chemistry 1 year U.

An additional year's work will mean another certificate ami of course better preparation to cope with life’s problems. More schooling will bring about a higher personal efficiency and will also reduce the hazards of unemployment in later life. Last year eleven graduates did post-graduate work. There is now adequate time for more training. School will open on Tuesday morning, September 2, at 8:00 o’clock. All students who wish to enroll lor the coming year in any one of the above mentioned courses shou'd write or see Principal W Guy Brown or Supt. M. F. Worthman. Enrollment should be made August 29 or August 30 at the Decatur High School building. Your Children Deserve the Best Decatur School Board Burt Mangold, president Carrie T. Haubold, sec’y. M E.
