It will be the finest in the world, 750-ton capacity. They will pay $5.00 per ton on cars ot buy on test at factory, with a guarantee of $5.00. The Holland-St. Louis company has the reputation for being the fairest sugar company in Michigan, and there are sixteen. Ten weighing stations will be established. If ten new beet factories were built each year they would not even meet the increase in consumption of sugar in this country. Decatur will have the first beet factory in Indiana. The sugar beet office which opened tn Decatur Monday, October 9th, was the first ever opened in this state. Charles Allen, the Paulding banker and expert lecturer on the beet sugar proposition, is here for a few days. Hear him. Meetings at Tocsin tonight. Will- ( shire Tuesday night. If the farmer of Adams county wants to raise beets, and he ought to want to, he owes it to himself and his community to sign a contract with the Decatur company, in preference to

j any one else. The benefits are thus ' several fold. .iThere have been more real estate deals in Adams county during the past ' three weeks than in a year before, i What did it? The harmonious work- ' Ing of a group of men. You do not i realize what fifty or a hundred men i can do if they pull together. This i! sugar factory is only the start. We ; do not want to see a wild boom, but we do want to see conditions better- , ed. Let's kefp moving forward sure ■ 'and cautiously. i The man who refuses to assist in ' this work of securing contracts, unless I ! he has a mighty good excuse, is not : doing his duty. These trips into the ' country, learning where your custo- ' mer lives, giving him the hand grasp, do not hurt one, even though business I matters at the office, store or shop, are neglected for the time. The workers started out bright and early this morning, determined to se-1 cure contract for 1,500 acres this 1 week. It's a hard old job, not because the farmers do not want to sign, but because it is tedious work to get to them. When they do reach you, it will' help greatly if you sign the first trip. Help us land this factory. ■ t " The beet sugar proposition in Decatur has so absorbed all of us that we have lost track of other momentous questions, such as the daily travels of President Taft, the cross-country journey of Aviator Rodgers, and less interest is even manifested in the world’s series championship base ball yames, now in progress. The Newcastle Nipp and Tuck club is all right, but they have to go some if they have anything on our new ‘Do or Die'' club in Decatur, composed of a "hundred happy boosters,” who are working hand in hand, and malkng headway. ”1500 acres this week,” is the slogan. NEW LIBRARY BOOKS. i The Gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, Formerly on Library Board. When Mrs. Elizabeth Mcrrison, former library board president, was enroute to her Mexican home recently, she stopped off in St. Louis and ordered several books for the Decatur li brary. These have arrived and all 1 who note them will be convinced that her gift is an exceedingly fine and generous one.

The sub-district Epworth League I I convention at the Methodist church' Sunday afternoon and evening was of j great interest, the attendance being large. There were many visitors from Monroe and the leagues of other ! surrounding towns. The program as • t blished was carried out, the address of Prof. E. E. Rice in the evening being of more than usual excellence. o— WILL LIVE IN INDIANAPOLIS. | ■- Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
