It certainly sounds good to hear other cities holding’ up Decatur as an ex- ’ ample of hustle, conservativeness, live j wires, who do things, and, by the way, it doesn't hurt a town to be thus talked about. John Barger, a well known farmer from near the west county line, came , in Thursday yith contracts for sev- I enty-four acres from his neighborhood. That's the spirit, John, and the boys here sure appreciated your work. The time of year is here when you ( will want a daily paper. The farmer I will soon have plenty of time to read, if you are not taking the Daily Democrat, send in your name. Though our family of readers now numbers many thousands, we always welcome an addition thereto. - .. Lew Ellingham writes us from In- 1 dianapolis that about everybody in the state wno lias visited the state house duiing the past week has spoken ol the fact that Decatur is to have a beet sugar plant, the first in the state. It has proven a great advertisement — and it pays to advertise. The end of this splendid campaign is approaching. The nearer it comes the easier it seems to secure the contracts. It is now more a case of taking care of everybody that wants in. Mr. Farmer, don’t let any little affair, personal or otherwise, stand in your way, if you want to raise beets. Sign up a contract and get busy. Suptrintendent Rice is talking up the organization of a Y. M. C. A. on a small scale, including a gymnasium, reading room, and a hail for basket ball and other sport. He has several rooms in sight and with the proper support will succeed. It means a clean place for •your boy and girl, where they will enjoy themselves, under careful guidance and in proper company. It’s a good investment, as important to the community as any industry we can think of. Toledo is to have a sugar plant, about the size of the one to be buiit here. It will be known as the Toledo Sugar company, and they have incorporated lor a million dollars. They expect to have the plant ready for operation by next fall. It is of enough importance in that busy city, that the papers there gave it two column headlinos. The location of a sugar plant means much for any city, even one the size of Toledo, though they are usually located in smaller places.

Decatur Is setting a puce which oth- j ier etties would do well to pattern I after. They have an offer of a million dollar beet sugar factory, if they will l silo certain things, one of which is to, secure 5,000 acres to be planted in sugar beets for two years. The business men and citizens of Decatur are will succeed. Six hundred acres of sugar beet land was contracted for in | one day. The business and professional men'll Decatur have temporal-1 ' ily suspended business and have gone | out among the farmers. That's the ! way to get new industries. "A faint | heart never won fair lady,'' and it ■ won’t land a good industry, either.-— Portland Sun.

We have made an extensive canvass and wished to see every man or woman who owns or rents land, and interest them in the growing [ of sugar but we have met with such success that we will soon have to close our canvass as the contracts i will soon be taken. It has not been our desire to miss or slight any one and we wish to announce that we have established an office with a big sign, Sugar Beet Office, in front. This can easily be found and we kindly ask those whom we may have missed in our canvass to come to this office and secure contracts as the time is fast coming to a close. Only a few more days and the company will have all I the acreage they can use during the | first season. So don’t feel hurt if you miss getting your plum. Thanking you again for the very sincere interest you have shown, we ■ are Yours very respectfully, THE ACREAGE COMMITTEE. John T. Myers, Chairman. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
