This is the ruling by .the federal board of industries and must be observed. Attend to it at once. Advertising pays. Ask those who have tried it. The most successful men in the world use printers ink and lots of it. You can make money by doing it and the best proof is that every one else who does it judiciously find it the best investment they make.

The Daily Democrat reaches 15,000 people each day. Think of the opportunity. The Indiana legislators are not passing laws. They are compromising. As the various bills come up, they quarrel around, call each other a few names and then patch up a bill that is not quite so had as the one first offered but which will have enough teeth in to cause the people to pay an increased cost in taxes and otherwise. When Governor Goodrich made his ; campaign for nomination he filed a report which showed that the plum , cost him some thing over $20,000. Indications are that be will not lose any 1 money if half the tales told are true, ' but how about the people? The bills he is fathering in the legislature are s not for you Mr. Taxpayer and a few < years will prove it if they become 1

laws. While a few are gram bling abonl the times, the other fellows are busy getting their share of the most pros perous era ever known in this or any other county. The spring will bring more activity than ever before and only the fellow who gets pleasure from complaining will loaf. The man who wants to work will find plenty of employment at good living wage and he is after all the only one worth considering. The grumbler and loafer and fault finder all belong in the same class. Be a booster. The country is being flooded with -stoefe? scrts. Book out that you do not buy a gold brick or a piece of blue sky. Invest your money in farming- the one thing you understand and let someone else promote the various industrial and mining schemes. There are solid and money-making stocks on sale but be sure you get thfwe if you invest. The farmers are getting all worked up about owning

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1919

i at a six o’clock dinner and card party . last evening. Covers were laid for twenty-five at the dinner, and among the number was Miss Bess Congleton, 1 of Detroit, Mich., a former member : of the club. The conversation enjoy- ■ ed over the dinner party added zest to the same, and the games of five hundred that, followed, made up the regular order of the club gathering. Guest's prize was awarded Mrs. C. S. Niblick and the club prize, Mrs. T. M. Re.ld. Score.cards were pretty little valentines. The rooms cf the C. A. Dugan home were thronged yesterday afternoon with guests for the Martha Washington tea which the February section of the Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid society, of which Mrs. Dugan is chairman, gave in connection with their regular monthly meeting. The social period after the business was given attention, was lengthened and was thoroughly enjoyable. Mrs. J. C. Patterson and Mrs. James Bain were costumed to represent Martha Washington, and presided at each end of the long table in tfce dining room where they poured the tea. Assisting them in dispensing the hospitalities of the dining room, as well ; as prior thereto by receiving guests, , were Mrs. Oscar Hoffman, Mss - Madge Hite and Mrs. J. R. Horton, j dressed as Puritan Maids. The table , centerpiece was a cherry tree and . red and green candles lighting the ( table biped to give a colonial at- , mosphere to the tea. During the s business period a note was read from , Miss Annette Moses in which she j ‘

made a gift to the society for use in the church or Sunday school room, of her fine piano and piano bench. She gives this in memory of hPr nephew, the late Dr. Ralph Moses, who made the “supreme sacrifice” October 1, his death occurring soon after arrival overseas. He was born in this city and he and his parents and other relatives have been very closely associated with the church in many ways for many years, so that the piano as a memorial is a very fitting one. The society passed a resolution thanking Miss Moses for the gift, and expressing their intention of having a silver memorial plate made, to be attached to the piano, in memory of Dr. Moses. The report from their recent entertainment showed that the society made nearly fifty dollars therefrom. A £ift was given to Mrs. Charles Knapp and to Dr Fred Patterson in appreciation of their help in giving this entertainment, and a note of thanks from them was read. The receipts from yesterday's social were $7.50. o I 6 O Cl ft T I A marriage license was issued to Kenneth Butler, born December 7, 1897, son of Benjamin F. Butler, to J wed Elizabeth Dailey, born October 13, 1899, daughter of Davis Dailey. I
