The stores will close Saturday in observance of the Fourth of July. An American Legion program will be given during the day and you are invited to attend. President Roosevelt gave voice to an expression of fact which everyone in the country agrees with, that hie should not only provide something to live by, but to live for. Tin- rain was worth thousands of dollars to this section of the country. The corn and beets need ed moisture ami the showers came in time to aid their growth and increase the prospects for a good crop. The lawns were parched from the three weeks drought, but the showers will help in restoring greeness and beauty. If there is one thing which we miss in this country and can't do much about, it is lack of rain. A good shower serves as one of the best tonics known to nature. rite election of a Centennial Queen was as interesting as a regular political election. With so many beautiful girls entered, Decatur was assured of getting a top noteher and friends of the comes lants rallied to the support of those favored. The crowning of the queen will be an episode in the great historical pageant.

He has served as school superinleu-i dent in two counties—Grant and Blackford and as a member of Indiana house of representatives. | He served for several years as' director of organization work lor the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. This experience should qualify him for a useful career in the state house. Furthermore, his varied and active life has brought him into contact with many types of

URGE CAUTION OVER HOLIDAY Caution Is Urged By Medical Society Over Double Holiday Indianapolis, July 1. —"A little Judicious fear on July Fourth'may prevent a funeral on July fifth for any of the thousands of Hoosier youngsters, bathers and motorists who plan Independence Day outings and celebrations this year," says a bulletin issued today by the bureau of publicity ot the Indiana State Medical Association. "Thanks to the safe and sane Fourth of July movement inaugurated in 1903 by the American Medical Association and sponsored throughout the nation since that time by doctors and officials, the number ot accidents from fireworks and the deaths from tetanus resulting from burns and wounds have been cut down.

Leave ihrilliug and danger oua performance* to those espe< tally trained in fireworks exhibition work. 2. See that every wound receives prompt attention and thorough treatment. Injuries from ex plosives, no matter how sli«nt, favor the development of lockjaw. Tetanus germs do not like dean, sharp cuts which bleed. They tev I or deep, airless wounds in bruised tissue-just the kind created by injuries from explosives. 3. If given at once following the injury, tetanus antitoxin almost certainly prevents the development of lockjaw. 4. “Nigger chasers, “spit devils,” and similar fireworks contain phosphorous and are deadly poisonous. Do not let small children try to eat them. 5. Do not dress your children in fluffy, light material which will easily catch fire. Even ordinarily harmless sparklers have set fire to light muslin dresses. 6. Every swimmer should know when to swim. He should not ent-
