One thousand acres by Wednesday 1 night is the slogan for the boys, who j are devoting their time to the beet acreage and it will be easy if last week’s work is a sample of what they ' can do. The contracts in, checked up and ready for delivery to the Holland-St. Louis company total over 4,000 acres, : the work for last week show ing over ' 2,200 acres. You can’t stop this gang of Decatur boosters. Have you figured out that the next year, beginning in a very few days | now, will be the greatest in Decatur’s history. Besides the beet factory there are two or three others on the way, besides two or three business blocks, several handsome homes, many houses for renting, a new bridge, possibly a hospital, besides the many ! things that are bound to come with such a marked growth. (Jet ready for it now. At a recent meeting of the democratic and independent editors of Indiana held at South Bend, a vote was taken to find the sentiment for the gubernatorial nomination. Samuel Ralston led, with Boehne second and Congressman Barnhart, third. The latter is a newspaper man from Rochester. and has been mentioned favorably from time to time for this high honor. The third week starts off with only a thousand acres or less to be secured for the sugar factory. Almost half of this has been promised or taken by outside workers, so that two or three days will see the big job completed. Just a little pepper, boys, you have done great work. Don’t quit now, bu* what’s the use of such advice —no one has any intentions of quitting until the task is finished as agreed upon. Decatur business men have learned from experience that the only profitable. business is a square and straight out business. The giving of premiums has always proven expensive and futile, because the other fellov simply has to follow you, and in the long run you are spending too much money for what you get. The only kind of advertising that pays is the BOYS OVERCOATS —priced to suit the mothers. Pretty genteel patterns made with convertable or military collar -fur astrakan and vcltrimmed.

In those communities 11 where the new order of things has ’ j taken place, you are conscious of a '(spirit of revival the moment you step ■ from the train. You catch the enthu I siasm of the place when you visit the I ' business houses and talk with the ' < leading citizens. Everywhere you see inspiring evidence of the "boost 1 spirit,” which is giving that town a ; reputation for wide-awakeness. In j these days of competition between ■ towns, a town's prominence depends ' on the successful production of a celebration and on its appearance during 1 the event. The town which attracts J more people and more business is the • one that shows it can do big things in ' I a big way and a better way than oth- ' er towns. —Leslie’s Weekly.
