The splendid success of the financial committee who Thursday solicited funds for the securing of the beet sugar plant is a tribute to our business men and citizenship in general. It would be impossible to prevent such a people from moving forward. We are proud of them, prouder than ever, and the new Decatur will be a credit to all. The farmers in this communitv should do all they can to aid in securing the beet factory. You owe it to yourselves and you will be immediately benefitted. You owe it to your children, to your neighbor, to Adams county, and to Decatur, who has always assisted you when and where they could. The establishment of pay and receiving stations at your nearest siding, makes the beet business a convenient one. placing a market near your home. Sign a contract and get your neighbor to do likewise. Just a word for the local invester. The Decatur .Motor Car company is' offering surplus stock for sale, on a guaranteed seven per cent interest basis. The Decatur Motor Car company was reared here, nourished and given its breath —but—not without the assistance of eastern ctepital. The Hoosier is considered the best truck made and in the eastern cities is far better known than it is hffre. We are reliably informed that the increased capital stock if sold in the east would take the control away from this section, while if a small amount of the stock is purchased here, it means that the control remains here. We have great laith in the future of the Hoosier Limited. We believe it is ten times greater than the average Decatur citizen realizes. We believe that Mr. Brackett is making his best efforts to build up a great business and at the same time doing all in his power to protect the people who have been his friends and we believe that this proposition should be investigated by thoso who can invest.

A first class base burner c properly made is so superior to every other kind of o heating stove that they are not to be considered in o o the same class. : g The Favorite Base Burner is known throughout j the United States as being the best made stove on j the market, anyone can see by examining it carefully j ~ and comparing it, that the workmanship is superior : * to all others. No other stove gives the same satis- : ■ faction and fills the house with like warmth from an ' 5 equal amount of coal. ■ The stove that gives the greatest heat from the ■ g least coal is the one that saves money, and the stove j g that saves money in coal bills is the stove to buy. j | Following we give you a part list of Favorite users ■ | in and around Decatur.
