In support of the plank in the Democratic platform in favor of the passage of a law guaranteeing depcsits in banks, Mr. Bryan, in his speech at Topeka, August 28, called attention to the following facts: Why not make the depositor secure? The United States government requires the deposit of specific security when it entrusts money to a national bank, although it can examine the bank at any time; the state requires security when it deposits money in a bank; the county requires security and the City requires security; even the banks require security from the officials who handle (money. Why should the depositor be left to take his chances? Net only is the depositor without protection, but the security given to nation, state, county and city lessens his security. They are preferred creditors; they have a mortgage on the gilt-edged assets and the depositor must get along as best he can with what remains Why are the interests cf depositors thus neglected? Can any unselfish person think of any reason why the individual depositor is not as much entitled to the protection of his money as the nation, the state, the county or the city? Is there any reason why the individual depositor should be discriminated against by such practices as now exist? The Democratic party thinks not. The Democratic party is pledged to the passage of a law which will secure all depositors.

Mr. Merchant, let us again appeal to your good sound business sense by calling attention to the fact that if you don’t advertise—now-rtgjht now—that a large portion of the fall trade that belongs to Decatur, is going to go to other towns in* this vicinity. A political item in the Indianapolis Star, the Republican state organ and official court journal, says this: "Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the committee, is giving all of his time to the work.” Mr. Sims is acting chairman of the Republican state committee, to which he “is giving all of his time,” but the people are paying him 16.500 a year on the theory that he "is giving all of his time” to his duties as secretary of state. Other Republican officials are doing no more than Sime to earn their salaries. > STRAW HAT ON SHELF It is Now Getting Near the Time for the Felt Lid. September twentieth? Oh. dear, How days are fleeting past me; And yet I have a haunting fear That my straw hat won't last me Until that date; and. if it does, My last year’s felt’s not what it My straw hat was a nifty lid When on that glowing May day Beneath it, with some pride, I slid — It was, I think, on pay day; tint was right, its shape was swell It loked quite fetching, but—oh, well. Through sun and rain, through dust and grime. It’s taken all the chances That come in good old summer time. With all its brief romances; But now. upon the first of Sept. At style no longer it’s adept September twentieth, indeed! Am I to thank Chicago, Which strives to fill a long-felt need. And longer make the straw go? I fear, as I move up to that, My long felt need's a new felt hat. o ATTENTION REPUBLICANS! The Republicans of Jefferson township. Adams county. Indiana, are hereby called to meet in mass convention at the home of Dan Brewster in said township on Saturday, September 12th, 1908, at the hour of 3 p. m. for the purpose of nominating township officers for said township. 209 6t GEORGE BREWSTER.

Michigan. Milford, Ind., Sept. I—Arthur F. Griffith, the mathematical prodigy, has returned to Milford, after a tour of various cities in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, where he demonstrated his ability in rapid mental calculating. He has figured out the day upon which Easter Sunday will fall each year in the twentieth century. He shows by mathematics that Easter Sunday in 11909 will fall on April 11 and 1910 or March 27. He has show’n by figures that there is enough room in Wayne, township, Kosciusko county, in w’hich township Warsaw is located, to locate every inhabitant of the Amer--1 icaa soil. The young man has also figi tired out the compound interest on one--1 cent for 1,908 years at 6 per eent and the space that this interest in silver dollars would cover, something like : 25,000 miles. <he says. Griffith has appeared in many cities and towns of northern Indiana. 0 David Werling was a business caller at Huntington this morning.

MI-O-NO MEANS STOMACH COMFORT —— It’s of Special Value to Many Here in Decatur A notabl e discovery, and one that appeals especially to many people in Decatur, is the combination of stomach help in the Mi-o-na treatment. This preparation works wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. It acts directly upon the walls of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten without distress or suffering. So positive are the good effects following th e use of Mi-o-na that the remedy is sold by Holthouse Drug Co. under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure. A 59 cent box of Mi-o-na will do the good the stomach needs, which is simply to make it do its own work.
