While doing it you help the community and this advances the value of your property and makes the passerby speak of it in a complimentary way. Clean up the alley. Get the dirt and ashes and weeds out. If you do it now, and spend a few minutes once a week from now on during the summer, the place -will look much better and you may save the life of some one in the neighborhood. Such statements may sound cranky, but they are not. If it’s the street commissioner's duty, he should serve the notices early, but if every citizen does his part the officials won’t have to do it.

A Washington paper says: “It must make the old Eighth district in Inidiana feel good to learn from time to ' time how well John A. M. Adair Is representing its widely diversified interests. Some people thought he would strike snags, but with four years' clean record back of him in congress he is starting oft the fifth with sails full to the wind, and with prospects as good, if not better than ! ever before, of giving all the people a square deal all the time. His tariff speech was one of the most logical heard at the present session. There is a sort of reciprocity existing between Mr. Adair and the Eighth district voters. They believe in his purpose to honestly represent them, and he believes they are fair enough to measure his services by the standard of sincerity rather than by the political yardstick.’ 1 | MACHINE IS GOING. Tuesday morning for the first time the power was turned on in the motor which runs the combination machine which the Decatur Lumber company has recently installed, and mechanics were adjusting the machine to get the maximum results. It works nicely, does its work fast and will In a great measure erase the delays incident to getting out any special orders. o —— Mrs. Malinda Fronfield of Ft. Wayne was here on business today. Miss Anna Yager spent the afternoon in Fort Wayne. George and Mike Hurless of Middlebury, Ohio, were business visitors here today. Mrs. Bert Owen is expected from North Dakota the first of next week for a visit this summer with her mother, Mrs. Mary Congleton.

Since coming to the town Sunday police attention has been necessary to keep tab on the action of the chorus girls and Monday night Policeman Melchi chased a party of them in from the park. Tuesday night the same program was attempted and Manager Bosse thought best to close the contract and allow the troupe to get out of town. Ossacionally a troupe of this nature will get into a town and no one in particular can be blamed for it, but Manager Bosse should be commended . for getting rid of them as soon as the intentions of the bunch were , clearly shown; iOBOB O B OB O BO BOg [alt Sinew ■ ? or g id Strength * IALVER | Wholesale Dealer ■ lonroe St. &G.R.&I.
