Governor Horton of Tennessee finally escaped impeachment by a vote of 56 to 40. They only had seven or eight charges against him. They are going to broadcast the Hoover dinner at the Indiana fair grounds. Won't tiiat be something? Think of listening to five thousand hungry politicians eating chicken at one time. The Firestone tire manufacturing company shows an earning so far this year nearly double of that of last year for the same period. That causes a lot of speculation and wonderment but there is nothing surprising about it. Know how j they did it? Avertising. —? I). C. Stephensen has turned his batteries upon James Ogden, attor-' ney general of Indiana, but that official need not worry judging from the results of the previous efforts of the immoral leader of Ku Klux activities. Friends of Clifford H. Matson, here, are happy to learn that he has been selected to succeed E. A. Barnes as general superintendent ~of the General Electric Company's Fort Wayne Works. As assistant to Mr. Barnes he earned the promotion and will ably carry on the splendid work of his successor. Evidently Judge Crumpacker thinks that one to ten years is suffie ten t punishment for young Kirkland* who killed his sweetheart in i ahoiH as brutal a fashion as could be imagined. Any way he insists on making the verdict stick at that. Most folks have their own opinion of the matter. Both the congressmen from the old and new districts will appear on the program of the rural letter carriers of the eighth district, to be held at Berne the 20th. The meeting - •was fixed before the changes in the district and to avoid any controversy that might arise both Mr. Vestal anil Mr. Hogg will be on hands. 1’ >th are good speakers and wifi ’please those who hear them. George C. Cole, superintendent of state instructions will be the principal speaker at the eighth grade commencement of Adams county to be held next Saturday at Berne. These affairs are always of interest and- importance and Mr. Cite will bring a message of value to

every graduate and all of their friends who attend. Two thirds of the depression is in your mind. Os course business is not up to the.volumn of a year or two ago but neither is your overhead or your cost of living. - If you will shake off the feeling of fear and go ahead doing business, employing people, advertising and working for business you may be surprised at the results. The Legion boys are busy with plans for the big street fair to be held in September and hope to make it bigger and better than ever. They promise there will be * no gambling such as marred last years fair and they are trying to secure the very best attractions in the country. They need and deserve the support of every one who feels like keeping things moving. The season of accidents is here and each brings its toll of drownings, automobile wrecks, deaths from diving and other fatalities that could be avoided by using greater precaution. It is foolish to drive your car seventy miles an hour, needless to drive across rail- j road crossings without looking! each way, to dive into shallowwater or swim beyond your depth. | Its better to be careful than sorry I and you can't preach it too much. — The special trade days here ten I > days ago were so successrul that a number of business men favor similar events several times the next six months. Along with the specials it might prove profitable to offer attractions that will draweven larger crowds. Let's keep working and trying to please. Now is the time to build trade in such a manner as to hold it. More than a hundred Decatur business men have petitioned the Anderson Company of Chicago to put local men to work on the post i office building at prevailing wages ! as agreed with the government and j are hoping for immediate action. This should be done in all fairness. Local brick masons, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other laborers are qualified to do the work and should be first employed for this is being carried out in other places and there is no good teason why it should be disregarded here. Efforts to secure recognition of the home workmen has been practically unavailing so tar. and a letter has been forwarded to Chicago asking the contractors to cooperate. Something definite should follow and at once and it should be such an arrangement as is satisfactory to all concerned. o « J ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS — Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two i ! * • 1. ‘ Afrikaans.'' 2.

Aur. 1. Norma’s latter-day stories have been immensely popular, but close observers of the situation believe she should change her tack, lest the public grow weary of smart, emancipated heroines. Knowing when to vary a type of role is one of the difficult things in the film business. So far. Miss Shearer and her advisers have been very smart. She’ll run into that stubborn halo people put around old favorites in remaking “Smilin’ Thru.” Norma Talmadge is best remembered by many fans for her work tn the silent version. Even she refused to try to recapture the charm of the old picture. Mary Pickford, likewise, was frightened off. But Miss Shearer has courage and she likes the story. The outcome will be something to look forward to. OLD HOME WEEK. Speaking of Mary Pickford, she and Douglas Fairbanks are due in Montreal, where they will spend a week. Canada, you know, is Mary's birthplace, was the scene o' her early stock experience. While there, the star will revisit familiar scenes and make the acquaintance of her Canadian public. Douglas doubtless vvill play golf. There is a good deal of talk in Hollywood as to whether Mary will have succeeded in turning his mind to work by the time of their return. Doug makes no secret he would rather play. Mary, on the other hand, wants to work. It is conceded out here that Mary, at least, will make another picture this year. Most people think Doug will, too. Maybe there’ll be a definite answer next week when the wanderers come back to Pickfair, in their absence. LATEsT GOSSIP. Norman Kerry plans to leave here in September to make his home in Europe. He says he has enough money to live there, but not in Hollywood. As far as pictures are concerned, he«is ready to

GARDEN FLOWERS GROWN IN HIS OWN GREENHOUSE (CONTINUEDJ-’ROM PAGE ONE) plants which Jimmy is growing wc wonld have to follow him with pencil and paper and a nursery catalog to jot them down as he calls them off. Many persons have inquired how Jimmy keeps everything looking so green. The grass never burns out. A few years ago Jimmy found it an almost impossible job to sprinkle the garden and plants.

ROMANCE AND REALITY SOMETIMES, when you turn the pages of a book, your mind is seeking romance. You long to leave a too-familiar world ... to travel with the speed of thought to far-off purple lands ... to bathe in tepid, lotus-scented surf. But your daily paper finds you in a more practical mood. Interested in real people, in the facts of the day. l ooking for news of things that you may buy and enjoy—here and now. You may find in the advertisement just what you want in the way of a better breakfast food, or a new radio, or an improved face powder. If the thing fits into your living, is practical and possible and promising—you are vitally interested. Because you are reading about yourself! Today., a great many things that were romantic dreams only ten years ago are common realities. Life has more color, more charm, more adventure. And the things that give it all these may be found in the advertising columns. Advertising discusses realities — romantic ones often enough—but actual articles you can have for your own, new joys for your family, stepping stones to your happiness. The advertisements in this paper are written for you. They are real. They are reliable. Take their advice. Decatur Daily Democrat

so he had a water line laid around the entire place. Now he just turns on the faucet and the sprinklers do the work. It may bje a man’s idea of a hobby, knit to us It's creating beauty for the hundreds of persons who pass Jimmy's garden and If you think his enthusiasm and ardor for flower life is run down after a hard day's work or a several hundrdd mite trip, you have another think coming, because Jimmy beams all over and takes on new energy as he gets among his flowers and wanders through his greenhouse. o-- * magley news'" 1 Mrs. James Hower who is a patient in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kolter is improving slowly Those visiting her the past week were: Mr. and Mrs. Ves Venis.
