Decatur stores are filled with the best goods on the market and the proprietors are offering you special bargains this week. Thursday and Friday. A bandit went into a New York shoe store, held up the clerks, took $1,379 and then deliberately nailed up the front door so the boys couldn't come out and call for help until he had a chance to get away. Now this fellow has created the “nail and hammer bandit." It should be understood here that the brick masons have made no demands on the contractors or any <4ie else. They have been urging that the spirit of the government officials in declaring that home labor be employed, at prevailing wages, be carried out, but they - have made no threats or demands on any one. They are a bunch of - citizens, willing to do their - ptfTt ami -they deserve that recogrtftion and support. *A. well-known citizen objected a ‘ ffny cr two ago to the fact that the t city is to improve and rebuild her fwwer lines because he said it would increase the taxes. This is wrong for the work will be paid for Jjaim the surplus now on hands by the city plant and which cannot ■- otherwise be spent. It will furnish employment, add value to the prop- .. erty and make possible better service and without any increase in the city tax rate. “If the advertisements appearing fir the Daily Democrat do not appeal to the average buyer in this vicinity we don’t hnow what would for in each of them you will find wonderful values. Local merchants , are trying to serve you and to cooperate with you in this period when a dollar is a hundred cents. They will give you the finest goods at the lowest prices obtainable any where.

|ing this loss to the total valuation for taxing purposes. Eventually it will have to be put some where else and that's one of the very serious angles in lowering the rates. About the only thing that most of us will agree with in Secretary J Mellon's recent speech is that the country will come back because it alwu-ys has. It doesn't follow that will be instantly but of course some how and some time it will be all straightened out. In the meantime it is the duty of each one to help himself out of the hole and when that is done one hundred per cent we will be sitting right on top of the most prosperous old world since time begun. Secretary’Mellon has discovered that four per cent of the people are paying the most of the income taxes. By the same token those same four per cent are the ones who are making the incomes or they wouldn't be paying it. Mr. Mellon wants every one to help pay it but if the public stands for that they will be only getting into more and greater difficulties. How can those who are losing money and haven't any pay taxes? They can’t and its up to the fellow who has an income of from $5,000 to a million to keep the old Golden Goose alive. The tax on stores seems a simple and sm;.ll matter now and is, but there is the danger that since it has been held valid by the supreme court of the United States that each succeeding legislature will deem it wise to increase the tax until it really becomes a burden. This should be carefully guarded for the best inteersts of every one. The present law fixes the tax at three dollars on each single store and that fee is increased up to a maximum of $25 for each unit of chains, the more stores, the higher the rate. It may solve much of the tax difficulty once it is properly and fairly worked out or it may cause greater difficulties. We can only wait and see now. Next Saturday is Memorial Day. set apart in reverence to those who offered their lives in defense of the country and a splendid program, significant for the occasion, has 1 been prepared. The graves of departed comrades will be covered with flowers and appropriate services will mark the occasions. Later in the day Rev. Harry Fernthiel, a veteran of the World War and a member of Adams Post of the American Legion will deliver an address on- the subject, “Our Covenant With Our' Dead." The day is one that should be observed with a sincerity for the sacred things for which it is intended. o ♦ ♦ i Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.R) ♦ Washing Flannel Wash and rinse flannel in warm >,a‘er of exactly the same temperature.
