Take it easy over Sunday. You'll feel better to start another busy week and run into less chance of accident. The summer is gliding right along, announcement having been made that the schools will open

for the tall semester on September 8, less than eight weeks away. Cliff Townsend is a typical Hoosier, friendly and old fashioned. He has a smile which expresses sincerity and warmth and Indiana will be glad Co have him as governor. The morning mail brought an advertisement for a Christmas feature and although Santa Claus wore a big smile, he didn't seem as cool as he evidently will be six months from now. Farmers are cutting and threshing wheat and the crop is fairly good. The yield is a little less, the quality good and the price 18 ents higher per bushel than a year ago at this time. Frank Murphy, former mayor of Detroit, will give the Republican candidate a run tor Iris money in the gubernatorial race. Murphy is popular throughout the state. He has a fine record and Michigan may go Democratic again. No gyp gambling on the mid way during Centennial week. You can't beat those outfits and the town does not owe them a cent. There will be plenty of entertainment for young and old and the! decision to keep out the transient | lake paddle wheels and other rackets is in keeping with public sentiment. It would be wonderful if Deca-: tur could provide another modern swimming pool for the children. If we had a second pool, the chil-i drcn still could use it while the! other was being cleaned. In our! opinion a swimming pool is one of! the greatest assets in a community, contributing not only to pleasure and enjoyment, but to good health. Every community should have a free swimming pool. CHANGE OB 1 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. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2. instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

The city atTinires the unselfish' • service being given by Carl Pumphrey to the Centennial celebration. As general chairman of the big . event, Mr. Pumphrey Is devoting practically all his time to the job and the week's program will be the result of his untiring efforts, augmented with those who have so efficiently served on the other 1 committees. t. I.l—l-1.0, Often times the "breaks" have a lot to do with an individuals success, but in the case of Claude Bowers. Ambassador to Spain, tamed author and speaker, the natural ability of the man is the controlling influence in his sue- j cessful career. It must be satisfying to the famous ex-Hoosier to know that after all the world recog-; nixes ability and is ready to confer honors on him for that reason. If you want a souvenir of Decatur's Centennial, buy some “wooden money" or take the pieces in change when making purchases at the stores. The money is redeemable by the Centennial Association up to August 6. in case you do not wish to keep it as a memo of the celebration. There isn't anything fakey about the plan, the wooden strips being worth face value and those who wish to obtain lawful currency in exchange tor them can do so. The Centennial Edition of the; Daily Democrat is being printed, the third section going to press tomorrow. Many historical articles

have been contributed and leading advertisers have made it possible to publish such an edition. ■ Those desiring space in this souvenir edition, should get in touch with the advertising department at once, as time and mechanical facilities are limited and every section must be printed in advance of the circulation date. o * * STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destniy is guided by the placet, the daily boroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Isn't it discourteous when one • is ta'king with a person, for this I person to show a lack of interest in in what is being said? '! A. Yes. this is one of the most: | frequent acts of discourtesy.

South Dakota people are not : looking for charity and want only i ■ i the opportunity to earn their liv- I - ing. The spirit they have shown |

through these disheartening times has caused me to marvel time and again, and even though we are faced with a condition as serious as ajiy that has confronted the state, I am confident that we will, , with the help promised by Washington. be able to go through the ■winter with a minimum of serious difficulty. _o HIGHWAY HEAD (CONTrNUED FROM PAGE ONE) road oil to be applied on 623 miles of state highways were received .today by the state highway commission. | Application of the oil served to prevent dust, creates a smoother traveling surface and eliminates the hazards of skidding in loose gravel or stone, in addition to cutting maintenance costs, James D. Adams, chairman of the commission, said. The oiling program includes state highways in the Greenfield, Laporte. Crafwordsville and Seymour districts. No bids were tak- , en on oiling in the Fort Wayne and Vincennes districts as the mile- , age to be treated in those sections I is small and the work is being done by the regular maintenance forces of the highway department. o NOTED PASTOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ity church last Sunday before be- | ing taken to a hospital here. But he would not stay in bed.

i He was scheduled to preach at ;an interdenominational gathering , here Sunday night. He left the hospital against physicians' orders a,nd made his last public address —“The World at the Crossroads,” I a magnificent plea for world peace l~ before a congregation of Prot- ’ estants. Catholics and Jews. Then ' he returned toi his hospital bed to ( die. When he got back to the hos- ! pital and surgeons operated, they I found peritonitis had set in. There J was little hope for his life at any ! time. He was unconscious most i of the par-t week. One blood transj fusion and several oxygen treatI ments were given him. Death finally came from pneumonia, ; which attacked him Saturday, i At his bedside was bis son. Fred- ; erick L. Cadman, who remained ■with him almost constantly. His two daughters and a brother were called from their hotel, but arrived a few seconds after the famed clergyman had died. o Mails to Aid Police San Francisco —(UP)—The poi lice chief has decided that serving traffic citations involves too much I ’eg work for the police.

NO SPEECHES W It SMITH i Smith’s Friends Say Al Smith To Stay Out Ot Campaign Washington, July 13 Friends of Alfred E. Smith led today that he had <»«■«%£ boycott politics during the «93b presidential campaign. Insiders professed to have heard the leader of the Democratic stopRoosevelt movement say he would , „ u(ke no political otherwise participate publicly in the campaign. ' Smith may stand on his June 22 open letter to the I national convention in which he . joined with four other prominent Democrats in objecting to re- - nomination of Mr. Roosevelt i They condemned the new dea and proposed a series of reforms I to be written into the Democratic

platform. "These are hard tasks, the letter said, "even for men who are worthy of succession to the lead- i | endlip of the Democratic party. , They would necessarily involve ’ the putting aside of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the substitution of some genuine Democrat." Co-signers with Smith were ' Bainbridge Colby’ and Daniel r. i Cohalan of New York: James A. Reed, of Missouri; and Joseph B. ' Ely, former governor of Massachusetts. Ely announced immediately after publication of the letter that he would be willing to campaign in New England for Gov. Alf M. Landon, the Republican presidential candidate. Reed said he ’ would make some speeches, but it appeared they would be more in criticism of the new deal than in ■ praise of Landon. Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican national committee was quick to invite Democratic bolters into the G. O. P. camp. A refusal by Smith to accept that hospitality would confirm the belief of many political : observers that long politcal train- . . ing under Tammany rules would j prevent a brown derby bolt this i j year. The unforgivable sin among j I Tammany braves is a vote for a [ ■ j Republican. ; Republican prospects would be ■ j diminished and Democratic chances in the east proportionately im- ■ j proved by Smith s silence this year. His voice would be an asset
