The boys of Adams Post of the American I.gion brought home the bacon. They are a bunch of live wires and we like their style. Keep going boys, we need you and v.e all appreciate the efforts you I sake locally all the year round. • Screen fans will miss old Lon Chaney, ‘'the man of a thousand faces,” who for years entertained the lovers of the silent pictures. He had his own method of making up and no one ha's ever come close to imitating him. Four men living on an island in the Pacific ocean with 198 women, claim to have found Utopia. Os course the bills for Easter hats and winter furs are light but they probably get some ugly glances occasionally. Pat Harrison was renominated for tlie United States senate from Mississippi yesterday which assures plenty of action in the next session. Nomination in that state assures election and that guarantees there will be something doing for Pat has the ability and the desire to keep his opponents always on the hop. The republicans are not going to take any chances on Ihe failure of a crowd at the opening of their campaign at Linton, September Uth. They are advertising a barbecue and when you feed 'em, you are sure of a crowd, though it doesn't always mean votes. The steer may prove to be tough. To celebrate the bicentenul of ■the birth of George Washington, lather of the country, the American Tree Association has been formed and proper organization made with the intention of planting ten million trees in this country before 1932, at which time proper dedication exercises will be held all over the country. Its a great cause and there are many benefits to be derived. You will read much about the movement during the next few

They have worked up a terrible charge against Charles Michleson. a publicity man In democratic national headquarters —he should be tarred and feathered — that awful man has talked about the republicans in general and the administration in particular. We don’t know lust what he said but we would wager our last clean shirt that it was very tame indeed to what a republican press agent would be saying if the democrats had been in power the past two years. The more Will Wood and John Tilson rave about that, the worse it will be for their party. Congratulations to Adams post for their successes at the state (onventlon. They won honors in the parade, took an active part in all the affairs and proposed the name of Comrade Harry Ferntheil who was unanimously chosen as chaplain, a deserving honor and a position he will fill with dignity and with every qualification. Rev. Ferntheil is pastor of the Presbyterian church and has a splendid war record. He is never happier than when meeting with the boys who fought “over there,” and he stands high with all the World war veterans. It is an honor to serve is state chaplain of the American Legion and all Decatur is glad to congratulate the soldier pastor, Harry Ferntheil. % The American Life Insurance Company of which C. L. Ayres, (ormer Adams county man. is presilent, recently celebrated its one hundred million dollars of business now reached. Mr. Ayres addressed the meeting and the following paragraph from his talk is of interest: “After we had begun to meet with some measure of success, the question was asked almost innumerable times—-“ How did you do it?” My answer invariably was, and it is my conviction today, — that it is really surprising the small amount of intelligence men can sit in life’s game with, provided they ate willing to, and do, make the small talents that God gave them work indefatigably. 1 know from experience that this is true, and so we see that industry becomes the first and foremost ingredient of success. If 1 were tn separate the first three of our enumerated ingredients above into their component parts in men, as I know myself, and have observed others. I would say, that, measured by the towering intellects of world history, the average mine run of successful men possess 10% intelligence, 15% of knowledge and 75% industry. Industry and energy then become the overwhelming motive power that, puts in oper-atic-n the little of intelligence and knowledge which we possess.” o * TWENTY YEARS“ AGO TODAY | I From the Daily Democrat File • : ♦ August 27, 1910 —Cowboys gather at Sheyenne, Wyoming to greet Col.

The People’s Voice This column for the use of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions of interest. 'Tease sign your name to show authenticity. It will not be used if you prefer that it not be. To The Editor of The Daily Democrat: We have read recently of the closing of a one-room school house In Monroe township, also one in Root township. The people decided to buy trucks and take the children to consolidated schools, where they have far better advantages, and money is saved. If tliis is a saving of money for these two townships, and better tor the children, why doesn't Blue Creek township fall in line? Or is there another law for Blue Creek township? Townships that do not consolidate, or take their children to a consolidated school are doing tilings in the most expensive way, and with very poor results. How much easier and better it is to look after one building, one furnace, than it is to look after seven with a competent janitor to look after one, and everybody and no body to look after seven furnaces. Where everybody is firing coal is wasted. But the greatest waste is the waste of time where all grades are crowded together. In cities when membership in a room in a consolidated school falls too low, the pupils are put into the same grade in other rooms and the teacher transferred. If a city cannot afford to keep a room open for a few children how about a township with a handful? There is surely a better way of doing things, and most progressive people are always seeking to find it. There is no greater wrong, than to rob a child of educational advantages. For opportunities not made use of serve to handicap children all through life. The very best school that children can attend cannot be too good, for them. A CITIZEN.
