Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Next week will be an important one as it marks the beginning of the busy autumn season. With it comes the meeting of the county council, the board of commissioners, the opening of the schools, the resuming of court' and a general stir of matters of interest to all of us. Indiana has al! the states of the middle west backed off the track for fruit this season. Peaches, apples, plums, grapes, pears and everything else are plentiful, while Michigan, the old reliable in the fruit line, has fallen down. Along with this our crops are average and all together our farmers should ieel mighty good. Farmers of this section are becom-i ing interested in the sugar beet business and it is possible that a plant may be secured. Enough headway has : been made that it might pay the farmers not to sign up too quickly with the beet factories out of the state, it would be much more convenient to sell their product here than to have to ship them. The more explanations President Taft offers, the deeper he is getting in the mire. He recently criticized , the democratic congress and failed to give them any recognition for having assisted him in passing the reciproc-1 ity bill, but Speaker Champ Clark has ' come back at him with proof that the democrats acted in good faith to the people and not lor political purposes.
