J. H. HELLER, Manager. IT TAKES LOTS OF SAND The spirit of American pride is always in hearty sympathy with the easy loser—the one who can take misfortune in a philanthropic way. The Democrat voices the sentiment of every Decatur booster —and you know what hta means —regreting the disastrous loss sustained by Decatur Produce company. With that sympathy there also comes admiration, because the men composing that progressive business organization never stopped , to cry ever spilled milk. They ordered the debris cleared away and immediately issued a statement that the building would not only be built stronger and better, but that business would not lag for a minute. This is the sort of sand that counts in this day and age of business enterprise, and it is also the sort of sand that will cause this company to some day stand at the head of the list of important shippers of produce. They will get there. You could not keep them down with a pile driver. It is a noticeable fact that the Chicago Tribune gives undue prominence in the framing of its headlines to any little unpleasant thing that may be said byway of unfriendliness or criticism of President Roosevelt.

, slightest manifestation of disfavor Is : magnified Into bitter hostility. What can this mean? The Tribune, though a great newspaper, Is intensely selfish and mercenary. The fact that The Tribune has been divorced from the diplomatic service o( the present administration doubtless accounts for Its Inclination to magnify whatever hostility may be found to exist toward the present occupant of the White House.—South Bend Times. If George B. Cortelyou is a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he should first be made to prove his Republicanism. Although he was the chairman of the Republican national committee in 1904, he was occupying that position only as the personal representative of Mr. Roosevelt. We doubt very much Mr. Cortelyou’s Republicanism. It will be remembered that he started his public service as a Democrat under Mr. Cleveland. a Democratic president. We don't think much of a man who is a Republican today because it is to his personal gain to be one and a Democrat tomorrow far the same reason. — Winchester Herald.

HAPPY MOMENTS (Continued from Page 1.1 strumental solos by Mrs. L. G. Ellingham and the Misses Irene Schirmeyer and Bessie Schrock, who illustrated the different musical composers. This number of the program was quite a treat to each one present. Immediately at the close an elegant luncheon was served, during which unique souvenirs were given the guests. They were little Christmas gifts of cushions made in shape of vegetables and flowers. The guests who were present besides the members were: Mrs. Frederic Macke, of Birmingham, Ala.. Mrs. Ernst Weicking and daughter, Herminta of Bluffton. Mrs. David E. Studabaker, Mrs. Katherine Champer, Misses Irene Schirmeyer and Bessie Schrock. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Loyns will entertain a sled load of guests at their country home, situated three miles east of the city, Saturday evening at six o’clock. The party will be: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gunsett and family. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Parent and family, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gunsett and family, Misses Irene Schirmeyer. Rose Smith and Perle Burdg. A better report will be made in Monday’s issue. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Allison will be host and hostess at a family dinner on Christmas day. The plans are indefinite. o FIRST CAR GOES TO CINCINNATI. Coppock Takes Initial Order from Merkle and Company. The Coppock Motor Car comparoy of this city closed a deal with the Merkle and company, wholesale plum.bers, of Cincinnati, for one of their up to date commercial cars, to be shipped at once. If this car proves satisfactory, as it certainly will, this firm will purchase a number of the machines to replace the horse trucks they now use. Various other firms will also test this car and no doubt a number of orders will result from this sale. While this is the first order, the firm has a number of deals on which indicate that the entire output for the year will be sold within sixty days. Such success even before the plant has begun operation is almost marvelous, and is proof of the future success of the Coppock. Watch ’em grow. GET WEDDED TO THE MODEL i WITHOUT A MATE W. H LINDSLEY
