Os course, if it’s 2,500 acres, no one will be mad. Smith and Thomas set a new mark for the contrat squads Monday, and one that is likely texremain. It helped wonderfully, and the boys are all inspired for the week’s work. Mr. Alien says that land in this section may reach an astonishing value one of these days.’ He is a tireless worker in the sugar beet industry and a strong believer in the various helps to be derived therefrom. The house question is still a puzzler. Some one will have to get busy before long. Do you realize that some of these people have to move here at once? Do you consider that many new faces will be here next spring early? Get to thinking about it. Tonight we break into the Willshire field. As the trip will be made via the Clover Leaf, the weather will not interfere and a good crowd should attend from here. It will do you good to join the Do or Die" club. If you are going 1 to be a part of the future Decatur, get in the swim, now. It will be easier to keep up. There are other things in store for Decatur, that will all work out in good time, helping not only the resident * here, but the farmer as well. We have learned that what helps one in this community necessarily helps the other. The best thing about all this work is the uniting of our forces in one strong, splendid line of battle that couldn’t be licked.

• I Actual contracts for nearly three ‘ | thousand acres of land to be planted 1 In beets next year will have been received by this evening, and with only ( eight working days, an average of nearly four hundred acres a day. It shows that the committees have not been idle and that our farmers realize u good thing when they see it. it i proves, too, that we are really going • to have another crop beside the corn- I J oats, wheat and hay that we have de- I ( pended on since the beginning of time ! ■ in Adams county. OBITUARY. Ada M., daughter of David and Me- ' nerve Fuhrman, was born in Adams I county. Indiana. November 11. 1881; j ' departed this life at Colorado Springs. ! Colorado, October 7, 1911, aged 29 years, 11 months, 23 days. Ada embraced the faith of Jesus and united I with the M. E. church at Monroe under the laluirs of Rev. Sprague. She was t a friend to all. and always ready to cheer and help. She met the struggles ■ of life with a brave heart and sought health in the far west, but whgn she ! realized that she must grapple with ‘ the grim monster, being away from home and dear ones, except her loving brother, Wilda, she expressed herself to him as being perfectly happy. Ada leaves many relatives to mourn their loss: Her father and mother, brothers. Nelson of Cnion City: Wilda of Reno, Nevada; Harry of Otsego, Mich.; Ira. at home, and her sister, Mrs. Iva Danner, of Cambridge City, Ind. Ada was the first to be called from this family and her demise brings sorrow and sadness , but we bow in submission to our heavenly Father, who will take care of our darling till I the morning breaks. TWO FARMS SOLD. Changes in Owneship of Adams County Real Estate. Two important changes In Adams county real estate ownership were made Monday through the BowersRealty company. The John R. Peoples farm of 140 acres in Root township, a very desirable piece of property, was sold to Fred Schafer and son, Chalmer, the consideration being $14,000 The George Cplchin farm of 80 acres, three and a half miles east of this city, was sold to Dr. Beavers, she consideration for this being SIO,OOO. Both , farms are exceedingly fine ones. EREIG FIRED AND HIRED. Professor Ereig, the strong arm German, who allows the automobile to run over him daily, and makes tl:e thiiiling slide for life from the court house tower, was fired by the committee last night and hired over again today. The •’professor" failed to slide last night according to schedule, and the committee gave him the grand bounce. This morning, however, the committee reconsidered and the slide for life will be given today the same as usual—Hartford City Times-Ga-zette. * TO PUSH THE CASE (I’ni’ed Press Service.) Los Ange’-es.
