The jury found him guilty, I which verdict carries the death penalty. A Charitable attitude of the people of Adams county is noted in the generous amount contributed to the Red Cross flood relief fund last month. A total of $1,178.59 was donated to the worthy cause. Doc Townsend who defied the senate in refusing to tell of his S2OO a month pension movement, has been cited for contempt and must appear before the august body. When the solons get through with him, he’ll want to join the ranks of those who have taken time out. j —= Congratulations and greetings' are extended to the Rev. Father Joseph Seimetz, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church, who on Sunday will be the honored guest of the congregation at exercises ceibrating his twenty-fifth anniversary to the priesthood. We realize that it is a great and solemn occasion, not only to the celebrant, but to the parish and community at large. We join in extending felicitations and wish for him many more happy and serviceable years in the priesthood. As a whole we are wo th more today than a year ago, if valuation totals for tax assessing purposes are to be taken as a guide. And what better method is there to determine wealth. Nearly every county in the state is reporting higher valuations this year. Over in Huntington county the gain is more than $750,000. in Wells county more than $150,6vv. Adams county likewise will show an increase of more than $150,000. Times are better, improvements on real estate, farm products and stocks of merchandise being worth more today than a year ago. Business will cease here Saturday and the thoughts of the people will turn to those who gave their life in time of war to their country. Tributes to the hero dead will be paid in services under the auspices of Adams .Post No. 43 of the American Legion and a grateful people will give expression to the memory of those whom the country owes much. It is MetnorCHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example; If you change your address from Decatur R. R. I to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper j from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

ial Day, sacred In meaning, well designated to honor thoee who in time of conflict fought tor the flag ho that this nation would continue to be the home of the free aud the land of the brave. If you favor retaining the present route of V. S. road 27 through I Decatur, notify the state highway , commission or voice your opinion lin any other effective way. A sur-| ! wey is being made, that may lead | to rerouting of the highway at the west edge of the city. It is truly ; admitted that there is much traf-1 tie on Second street, but it is not] conjeeted. Fewer accidents occur • on this street than on the open j highway and less traveled streets. I Heavy traffic is indicative of a good town and lively trading mar-1 ket aud it’s foolish to think that modern day business and mode of I i travel can be done without auto-' . mobiles. A LIFE OF SERVICE CLOSES: In attempting to write, even though we possessed more than the ordinary gift of expression and could compose the flnest word | tribute ever written, we feel that in deference to her wishes, her unassuming manner and reserve, that eulogy should be limited at the death of Mrs. D. D. Heller, j Neither would she want us to > grieve at her passing. This lovable woman, kind mother, first citizen and pioneer had virtues and charms, which if ex- 1 tolled would require columns and; the king's English to describe. The greatest of these virtues, as J the good book reads, "is charity." | Charity, begotten of love and in ' teresT in the saddened boy or girl loft in the world without father or mother, was symbolic of her everyi day life. For more than 30 years she was 1 actively identified with the county j boards of childrens' guardians and 1 charities, served as president of both organizations and contributed much of her talents, fine sense and understanding, motherly affection and loving spirit to the work. The writer, long associated with her son, had occasion often to converse with her, to keep himself posted on her activities. Wonderful and inspiring accounts of her interest and devotion to the cause of the needy and orhpaned children, all covered under the mantel of charity have been recited by those associated with her. Each day was a new' and thrilling adventure to Mrs. Heller. She lived a full life, carried sunshine in her heart always and maintained a spirit and independence not found in many persons at the door step approaching ninety. Her friends and relatives will find comfort in knowing her desire to remain young and active was granted almost to end. How joyful we would all have been had she been permitted to live, to be with us during the Centennial observance and honored with others as the type who have contributed much in making this a better world in which to live. Her bouyant spirit held to the last minute. She was conscious. Her keen mind was alert, she was still anticipating pleasure in life -—in the future. She was not afraid to die. — o—*~TWENTY¥FARS "* I AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ « May 29, 1916.

CHAPTER XIX With her heart singing, and ready to face anything now, she went through to Miss Golden. A surprise awaited her there. Mr. Kayser had sent orders that she was to be transformed, as speedily as possible, into a “honey blonde.” “Let me ’phone niy mother for a minute and break the bad news to her,” smiled Diana in some trepidation. How would she look? And what would Roger say? But she had no alternative. She must comply w ith studio orders. The bungalow on the Hollywood hillside did not answer, so Mrs. Holzer, the landlady, told her. She thought she had seen Mrs. Darlington go out a half hour ago. Maybe she'd caught the bus on the corner and gone down to the Boulevard to have a look at the shops? White henna was pasted all over Diana's scslp as she sat in her chair in the beauty-parlor. Thirty-five minutes later, after her hair had been shampooed, she wailed: “Why, Miss Golden, it’s talmoti pink color!” "Wait till it’s dry, honey, and you’ll see you'll be a first-class 'honey blonde’.” Miss Golden dabbed setting lotion on the curly hair and pinched it into waves and curlicues. What she prophesied came true. After a session under the dryer, and after having her curls combed out, her hair was like sunshine. Mr. Kayser nodded approvingly. Came another long session before the camera. The lights were intensely hot as they beat upon her. The same weird directions were repeated by the electricians as the lights were moved about her. A scaffold was set just above the level of her head from which a “baby spot” was trained on the lower part of her face. Her chin, it seemed, was too short for beauty, and had to be elongated. An assistant-director had taken the place of Mr. Falconer, but when she was ready to drop with fatigue towards five o’clock, he arrived. He took three more tests of her. Then he informed her: “That’ll be all for your first day, Miss Darlington. Report at eight tomorrow morning. At nine I’ll be here, and we'll have a look at the tests.” Jerry Nolan suddenly appeared, a script in his hand. He had completed hie song, as promised, and brought it to Falconer. He handed it to him wordlessly, but now his small, bright eyes were turned on Dians. She smiled uncertainly at him. Did he recognize her with her new blonde hair? For a moment his lips puckered as though he were about to burst into a song. And then he grinned. He put an odd question. “D’you mind if from now on. I call you ‘the little girl with the humming-bird eyelashes’?” he asked her. The girl with the humming-bird eyelashes! Jerry Nolan had called her that. Never had Diana heard anything so quaint! He was the studio’s highest paid song writer, which made him a sort of a poet, didn't it? The eyelashes were artificial. Laboriously, they had been gummed to her natural ones Jerry knew the process, and was kidding her. Mr. Falconer, the director, burst out laughing. “You’re the goofiest bird, Jerry! Where on earth do you get your expressions?” “From the birdies, naturally. The inevitable relation between a humdinger and a hunnning-bird.” “You being the humdinger?” grinned the director. “On the contrary, I’m a humble bxrnyard fowl. Witness my physiognomy! But did you aaver sae a humming-bird’s tiny feathers, Fal-

coner? They’re in my collection at home, and when I look at the young lady—” “You want to add her to your collection?” Falconer laughed heartily. “Go flap your wings elsewhere, Jerry.” ‘‘l’m going to take her under my wing,” said Jerry imperturbably. “Miss Darlington, come sing with the birdies, wilt thou?” “I—l have an engagement," she said uncertainly. “Roger was to come for me or ’phone me.” Falconer departed. In his hands he held Jerry's song. He turned at the door to call back, humorously: “Write one for her that’s a humdinger, will you? And we'll call it ‘The Girl with the Humming-Bird Eyelashes’! That's a swell title.” “Go chase yourself, you slave driver! Go pluck someone else's pin feathers!” Then, to Diana: “D’you know, I believe I will? Darned if I won't use it for a show of my own. Are you tied up long with this outfit?” “Three months. I was lucky to get this chance. I'm only an amateur.’ “Say not so in this town of ballyhoo, my dear. The tastiest morsels fall to the birds that crow the loudest. alas and alas!” “I must go now," said Diana. Roger must have telephoned by now? It was half past five. She would remove her make-up. Miss Golden was there. No, there had been no telephone calls. She dressed hurriedly and went out, to find Jerry still waiting for her. “We’U go ’round to the Art De partment and get Mister Roger, and then on to my place.” “I must telephone my mother, said Diana hastily. What would Genevieve say when she heard that her daughter was going to the home of the boy she had snubbed on the train coming out here .. .? “If she’d like to join us, swell! Jerry said cheerily- "I’ll tor her." But Genevieve declined. Her *o>ce came clearly over the wire, telling Diana that she supposed it was all right dropping into the home or anyone so prominent in the studio as was Mr. Nolan, though she was not to stay late. Roger was to bring her home not later than seven. But Roger’s work was not cobipletcd. He suggested, to Dianas disappointment, that she go ahead with Jerry, and he would follow afsoon as he could. , Jerry took her by the a ’7 rl ‘ said the chicken-coop was al. ready and waiting for her at the Seeing her look mystified, ne added that it was a particularly unique and comfortable chicken-coop. »nd only the very best people m Hollywood were asked to ride m it, ana Roger would bear him out in ths .
