He is too wise to be any thing else. All Americans are urged to leave Spain and if we were over there it wouldn't require any more advice. Conditions are serious and the rebels just don’t like any body. The Democrats are getting ready to start their campaign and President Roosevelt himself, will be in charge. He hasn't completed his job and knows it, wants to and is honest enough to say so. Read over carefully the list of home comers registering each day and we are sure you will find the names of a number whom you have entirely lost track of and will be happy to meet again. Os course we arc proud <A the fact that President Roosevelt recognizes the Decatur Centennial and took the time to write a word of felicitation. We appreciate it and all the fine congratulatory messages from so many hundreds of people from all over the country. Many visitors here yesterday listened with great interest to the talks by the sisters of the late Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter. Needless to say every one who heard them were thrilled and pleased. The exhibit is in charge of Mrs. J. A. Long of Geneva and is one of the worth while attractions. J. S. Hunt, a rancher at White-1 fish. Montana, pulled up an entire, field of sunflowers, and they have big fields out there, because hel didn't want any one to think he was for Landon. He should have just put up a sign: "these sunflowers raised to furnish seed for the Roosevelt rooster." "A century marches by” was a beautiful pageant and our thanks and appreciation are given to Dr. Fred Patterson and ail who assisted him in staging such a drama of history. Thousands have enjoyed it and many have attended each rendition. To ail who took part compliments are due. It was a fine feature of the week. There was a lot of back slapping and hand shaking when J.

Gasoline tax I) collections In Indiana during July ’ were the largest in the eleven \ ) ) years this tax has been collected, totaling over $2,000,000 and exceedI ing the same month last year by nearly a quarter million dollars. The Centennial is a big affair and the crowds indicate it. There is so much to see that we doubt ' i if any one gets through it all dur , ing the week. The beautiful parades are a feature and the crowds , like them. The program is a I snappy one and a good one and you should watch it carefully so' 'as to be able to attend those events in which you are most in- - I,terested. • I =s One of the finest meetings of the week was that at Memorial I Park yesterday afternoon for the, J I youth, with the principal address by Paul Siple. the lad who twice ■ accompanied Admiral Byrd on his ' | trips to the south pole.

DeVoss are hoping for his appointment to till the vacancy on the appellate bench caused by the death of Fred Wiecking. Judge De Voss is able and | has an excellent record as a jurist i here pnd in other counties where jhe has served as special judge. > He would make an excellent judge ’ of the higher court and is in every way deserving.

In numerous idealities, coni already is being cut and put into the silo or is being fed green to supplement dried up pastures.
