aforesaid regulations shall be punished by a fine Of
not less than five dollars ($5O0) nor more than
fifty dollars ($50OO) for each offense. All Civil
officers are urged to be vigiant in enforcing these
regulations.
Pat says: "as long as highway No. II, if you could call
it a highway, remains in its present delightful condition, /
am wondering if the strict enforcement of this order wouldn't
be a very good idea."
We suggest instead, Pat, that Holmes county get busy
and see II 1T cant get some money to concrete that twelve
miles from Durant to Lexington. Jacksons getting a $780,
600 bridge from somewhere. Looks like we ought to be able
to manage few miles of concrete on the worst piece of road
In Holmes county and a road that to boot has more traffic
on it than any other road in the county.
We suggest, also, Pat, that the county Board Of Super
vlsors be told by someone they will listen to perhaps your
able law partenerO that the people Of Holmes county try to
be alert and progressive; that just because their grand
fathers went 6 miles an hour is no sign they want to keep
moving that slowly; that just because their grandfathers did
business a certain way is no sign they want their business
to run along the same old channels. that what they want
is PROGRESS.
Perhaps the Board Of Supervisors will repeal that order
and make honest, law-abidlng citizens out of every one of us.

CONGRATULATIONS, AGENT WILLIAMS

outstanding mule and colt show ever to be held IN Holmes
county. The Junior Chamber of Commerce in Lexington, too,
is PLAYING an important part in entertaining and caring Tor
the 5000 people who are expected to attend.
The show will be held on Friday, August 90, and should
be attended by every person interested IN promoting the
breeding and growing of workstock at home.
The BOARD Of Supervisors has set aside $4,000 to be used

show will surpass all others that have been given.

WE ALL BREAK HI LAW

Did YOU know that if you exceed a speed limit of six
miles per hour on a highway in Holmes county you are break
ing the law and thereby become liable for a fine of from
five to fifty dollars?
Such was the information gathered for us by Pat Bar
rett, prominent young Lexington attorney, who, knowing
our very personal interest in matters concerning traffic
problems, sent us a copy of the order passed by the Board
of Supervisors at their July meeting, 1906, which is recorded
in Board of Supervisors minute book 9, page 531, in the
office of the Chancery Clerk.
The readers of this newspaper are law-abiding to the
point of being positively disgusting. So for their benefit, so
that they can have no doubts on the question, we reprint the
law as it stands on the record in this county.

breach caused by four years of strife.
 Our country and its government is today embarked upon a policy which extends a friendly hand to all nations but steers clear of entanglements which might lead to war. It is our intention to re- main neutral, and we have passed legislation, which, though not per- feet, nevertheless, embodies our wishes. Our moral support should be given to efforts against war or the possibility of war, so that we may never again see our youth maimed and killed on for eign soil, or the consequent mis- cry and suffering which war in flicts upon the innocent and which constitutes a threat to our very civilization.
 When we preach brotherhood among all races and nations, by means of our lodges in many for eign lands and climes, we, are as- sisting in one of the greatest world movements for peace. Wars always shock the conscience of mankind, and yet it is man who causes and enters into 1t. with ! resultant human loss and misery and economic disaster.
 Because this organization, like many another society, has brotherhood, it has often found itself misunderstood and the ob- ject of prejudice. In Germany today it is being persecuted. TO an odd Fellow, freedom and lib- erty are an integral part of his ideal. In country such as Ger many at the present time, ruled by despots and people who are blinded by the aim and ambitions for war, odd Fellowship, like the Church, like minority opinions and races, is a handicap to vultur-, ous and inhuman ambitions. Yet, as there is kindness of some sort in all, I cannot believe that this cruel and barbarous song of hatred and persecution of fellow beings will long exist in that country.
 No organization such as this should forget persecuted brethren

PETER DECICCO
 GIVEN SUPPORT
Friends Claim If Casale Y Gets Medal, He Merits
 One, Too

Peter DeCicco, local war veteran and now city court interpreter, has a great deal of interest in a bill introduced in congress and now being considered by subcommittee No. 2 of the House military affairs committee, of which Congressman J. Joseph Smith is chairman. The bill authorizes the granting of d gold medal to Nicholas Casale, of Newark, N. J., because he was under legal requirements for height and weight when drafted into the army during the World war.
 CaSale says that when he entered the service he was four feet, ten inches tall, and weighed 1O4 pounds. In June, 1918, the legal minimums for service were five feet, three inches in height, and 116 pounds in weight. In September, 1919, the minimunns were lowered to five feet and 110 pounds.
 DeCicco, known as the biggest little man in the republican party told The Democrat this morili... I that he is exactly five feet tall He didn't know his weight, he said not having stepped on a scale fol two years.
 Peters friends claim that if Ca sale gets gold medal, then cer, tainly Peter deserves one.

ROBERT WAKELEE
 SUIT DEFENDANT

Judge Miles F. McNiff and ten man fury in the court of common pleas are today hearing the $750 suit of Francesca Izzi against Rob- ert A. Wakelee of Wolcott. Non- payment of debt for services rend- cred is the allegation which forms the basis of the suit.
 Izz claims he hired out truck and driver to Wakelee from April 1. 1885 to May 22, 1885, and that Wakelee agreed to pay $1.50 per hour for the service. He claims the work required 389 1-2 hours and that he is owed $73O. It is his claim that Wakelee refuses to pay.
 On the other hand, Wakelee den- ies that he agreed to the terms stated by the plaintiff. He claims he agreed to pay $1.0o per hour for the truck and driver, and that fifty cents of that amount was to have been paid by the Silliman & God- frey Constructors. It is said that Silliman & Godfrey has already paid Izzi $194.75 as it's half of the debt. Wakelee alleges that he has offered to pay $l94.75 to Izzi but the latter has refused to accept it. Attorney James E. Mcknight appears for the plaintiff with Attorney Finton Phelan defending.

Congressman William CItrOn's sddress to Grand Ledge delegates if Odd Fellows In Temple hall this morning was as follows: . Mir. Chairman. officers, and Members
 am deeply grateful for the honor of addressing your State conclave and to be on the plat form with such distinguished guests.
 I assure you I am happy at your invitation and at the opportunity of being with you on this occas- ion.
 Every member of this society must be proud of its record of achievements in promoting the principles upon which it IS founded.
 The principles and practices ot this order are the ideals for which civilized man has always strived. They are also the universal and basic aims of all organizations whose goal is to better the condi- tionS of their fellow men.
 In this respect our modern civ ilization is unique. It is marked by so many organizations of men and women, motivated by noble purposes.
 What is friendship, which Odd Fellows teach and strive to attain in practice, but a mutual regard of human beings for each other?
 Where true odd Fellowship ex- ists one cannot find persecution of human beings, because persecu- ton is a disregard of mutual re- spect and of equality. The despot in the political world and the exploiter in the industrial world are destructive forces aiming to deny equality of rights or of op-' portunities or even of life ana liberty.
 We promise to love = in essence this is that oldest of all teach ings: "to love thy neighbor, found in the precepts of all great religions. And when we add truth, we reach out for the goal that man has always sought. You car-, not have justice or fair play with out truth.
 It is the thought behind these words that gives them meaning. Societies like this one do not stop at the mere expression of words. For the purpose of our existence is to attain the practice of these noble ideas and perma- nent virtues.
 Besides the fellowship and socia- bility, the economic aid and help given to individuals, the lessons and teachings of the order that have raised the courage and the moral inspiration of individuals, this society has been and IS a forse in this nation and in the world for the promotion of happl- ness and peace.
 When our own Civil War was about ended, though sadness and bitterness was still evident on all sides, the Order of Odd Fellows met in 1865 in Baltimore and to the amazement of the nation brought together northerners and osutherners in national meeting the first of its kind = thereby talk ing the first step to cement that

greater responsibility today than before. We must be willing to look ahead with visions of better world. We must face the facts and recognize the truth that the ills and diseases of society can be isolated and cured, that we can remedy many of these ills in the economic, industrial and financial world just as was done in the field of medicine.
 Individually and collectively we can help the cause of social bet terment. Public opinion is the back bone of our progress.
 Let us realize that we are living in a new day. 8 new day in the sense that the fundamental pr1n- ciples of our Order and similar orders are finding a common place in the hearts of our people!
 Selfishness, persecution, greed and hunger have no place in the links that forge the brotherhood of odd Fellowship - Friendship, Love and Truth. This is the req son for our existence as an order: it is also the reason for humanity's existence = to move forward to- ward its destiny.

sent the restaurant unions racketeerS to prison and enabled the rank and file m the painters union to do their own house, cleaning. And just the other day he was called in to witness the signing of con- tract between the ChildS Restaurant chain and joint committee rom the walters, waitresses' and cafeteria work erS' unions.
 Tt was a happy moment" he Salo afterWard, "when l was privileged 70 witness a contract between these unions and one o fthe nations largest restau- rant chains, and to know that through that document a union was accused of trying to wreck was about doubled in membership. What had done was to release that union from the domination of the racketeerS, so that those men in it who had been fighting racket control might once again take it's affairs in hand"
 And on the following day, Dewey appeared before 5000 members of the paintrS' union and was cheered to the echo as true friend of labor. The point of all of this is obvious When racketeerS get control of labor union, no public official is going to lose labor'S friendship by putting the racketeers in prison; on the contrary, he is going to win it. For when gangsters do take over a union, they do it against the will of the honest rank and file; and the officeholder who is too dumb to realize this or too timid to act on it merits gets-labor's deep contempt.
