Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. The special session of congress will evidently keep going until the frost is on the pumpkin. Each day finds something new developing and at pres-, ent there is not much to indicate an | early adjournment. While other counties are complain- 1 ing of poor crops, of drouths, of thej cinch bugs, and other misfortunes, the j Adams county farmers are going along i with the harvest of the biggest crops ■ in history. Os course this is the best community in the state. We have always claimed it and this year is but a proof of it Announcements concerning another I industry for Decatur may be made ’n a few days. A movement is on quietly to land a good one, that will help ev-' ery one in this locality. We are mor- • ing in a safe and Orderly manner, j profiting by the lessons of the past,. looking always to the future. and we are bound to win ■ ■JU .ww BUMPER CROPS. For several days we have been receiving polices from fanners through-; out the county telling of the bumper crops -which they have raised. Today another report comes to our attention telling of the good measure which was received, and we now forced to believe that it would be hard to beat ■ Adams county, any place. The hues: announcement says: "Talk about Root township; talk about Monroe township, but when you bear of good, old Kirkland township, you will all take off your hats. William Arnold threshed I.BM bushels of oats off of twenty three acres. W Beineke received 1.933 bushels from twenty-sev-en acres; Jacob Barger 2.160 bushels • from thirty acres: Otto Hildebrand 1,147 bushels from sixteen acres, and wheat averaged thirty bushels to the acre." This is going some, and the farmer, as well as the city of Dfeatur, is on the boom, and there is no reason why we should not have plenty to eat this wiifter. o UNCLE SAM WANTS FINGER MEN. Finger print experts are desired by the government, according to the announcement of the civil service examinations in Indianapolis during August. The examination for this Job. which is listed as a clerkship, will be held August 33rd. The vacancy is in the assistant adjutant and inspector's office, headquarters of the marine corps at Washington, but the successful ones at the examination become eligible to other vacancies at they occur. The position pays $1,200 a year The system used by the marine corps which is for identification purposes, is that known as the "Henry system.’’ POTATO CROP SHORT. A scarcity of potatoes in the local markets has sent the prices soaring, and now the economical housewife is confronted with a price of $2.06 per bushel, four-bits for a peck. The drought in the early spring caused the early varieties to fail and when the late erop was planted another drought severely affected them. Merchants are not having any trouble in supplying the demand, as it is rather limited owing to the high prices. There will not be a very large reduction in the price this season, although they may drop somewhat when the Ute crop is marketed.

HAY FEVER TIME HERE. The time of the year is rapidly approachlng when many thoroughly respectable people can be seen on the streets with bleary eyes, a "runny - ' nose and a general dejected appearance, as though they had been out with the boys for a night. Although the victims look that way, it is not from that cause, but from that dreaded hay fever, which spares neither rich nor poor. Many that are able will leave the cities and towns within the next two or three weeks to seek relief at one of the many northern resorts, but those who are not able will stay at home to fight it out and not get relief until frost comes. The blossoming of the nig weed is said to be the signal for the attacks of hay fever, and Its ripening is now being watched with apprehension.

PLAN AN ADDITION The St. Joseph Hospital at Fort Wayne Will be Greatly Enlarged. IAT COST OF $130,000.00 Present Large Structure Unequal to Demand of Large Number of Patients. Decatur patients are numbered quite heavily from time to time in the St. Joseph s hospital. Foil Wayne, and therefore the following item from an exchange, telling of the enlarging of this institution, will be of much interest here: "The first definite announcement of the plans for tire erection of an extensive addition to St. Joseph's hospital was made last night, when the Sisters of the Order of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ stated that plans are in preparation for a bazaar to be given about the middle of September, the proceeds to be devoted to a fund to pay for the construction of the new building. • That the structure planned will cost at least $130,000, was the statement made by the sisters. It is not expected that the bazaar will result in raising the amount of money, and the sisters have announced that contributions from the public are solicited and will be gratefully received. "Detailed plans in connection with the bazaar will be announced later, but in the meantime the sisters will continue their efforts toward the erection of the new building. The addition to the present hospital will occupy the half block directly south of the present building and extending from Broadway to Van Buren street. Os this property the sisters have acquired all bat the Hoffmau homestead. “The new building as planned will be strictly a fireproof structure, with all ’he modern adjuncts designed for hospital structv-es. The present building has been over-crowded for some time, and the sisters have felt the need of providing more commodious quarters. Tbey proceeded quietly to acquire the property immediate); south of them, and have secured all but the one piece mentioned. When this is. purchased the hospital will own the entire block, and will be one oi the largest and best institutions of its kind in the state.’* Among the patients now in the hos pital is Mrs. Mary Cok-hin of this city, who was very badly injured when thrown from an automobile which collided with a street car in Fort Wayne.
