The president's promises of revision of the tarin downward are being re- * reived coldly through the west —and is it to be wondered at? About the most interesting political 1 document given the public in a decade is the article written by Gifford Pinchot and published in this week’s Saturday Evening'Post, in which Mr. Taft sure gets "his'n." Say this over and over: “Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, this is my own, my native land." Its a good thing to feel. Let's all fight for Adams county and make her the best place on earth in which to live. No' one man can do it, but each doing his , part will make it easier for all. At this time suffice it to say that • Decatur is on the map, that the greatest year in her history- is approaching, when every citizen should prosper, and it only requires a little more pulling together. Forget your little jealousies, broaden out, put your shoulder to the wheels and push. She's got to move. LOST OR STOLEN—Fancy Scotch Collie dog. Call ’phone 58 or 66.. Reward will be paid. 225t3
