The Holland-St. Louis Sugar company has filed its application at the secretary cf states office, and has paid the fee to do business in Indiana.

Are you still boosting for Decatur? Don't stop just because there is no active w - ork to do. It’s the quiet, always at it kind of boosting that helps a community. If some stranger asks you about Decatur or Adams county, tell him all the good things you can think of. lie will think more of you and the community, for loyal citizens are proof of a good prosperous locality. The demociatic central committee will meet next Friday to fix the date for the primary election. Then begins a friendly campaign for the various places on the ticket. The battle lor votes this year will likely prove sHghtly different from those of other years, as this will be the first primaryheld under the corrupt practice acts. It should give the people the opportunity to select tile men they really want. May the best men win. State Superintendent Charles Greathouse is here today and tonight will take part in the dedication services of the new Monroe school. Mr. Greathouse has made good as one of the democratis state officers. Following Dr. Aley, whose record was an enviable one. Mr. Greathouse has proven equally proficient. He is a splendid and popular official and his visit to Adams county is welcomed by his many admirers and friends. The real cause of the state's, fi-

nance being low is shown in recent figures given the public, namely, that notwithstanding the fact that Governor Marshall and the democratic house did all in their power during the session or 1909, the senate, republican, held out until they forced through further appropriations tor more than a half million dollars. Governor Marshall was forced to sign the appropriation bill or call a special session of the legislature, at an enormous expense. It takes some nerve now to even intimate that the present administration which has really had eon- _ troll of affairs for less than one year is in any manner responsible. If the people give this administration an opportunity, they will show them a real saving of the people's money. t Here’s Exceptional Values In Boy’s Overcoats Storm coats-- con vertab’e collar coats, (Made to fit snug at the neck -fabrics of nobby neat patterns in light and medium dark color, also blue and gray chinchilla -some fancy taimmed -sizes 3 to 16 years PRICES $2.25 to $7.00 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

Hen fruit is becoming quite a vaiu- i able p 1 jduct these dayq, and every few days the local merchants have; been boosting up the price a few ; cents and are now paying 27 cents a dozen, and say they are worth every particle of it. The scarcity on the i market makes the price run tip. as it ; has been doing, and since the con-1 sumption has been quite heavy, a ' good price has to be offered to induce the farmer to bring his goods to the market. For sevei al months past the ( markets have been on a steady in- ( cline, the hen fruit being greatly uesd by many in.place of meat. It is somewhat early in the season for the price to be as early as it is, according to other years, and it is on account of the goods being very difficult to obtain, that the price holds up also. SALABLE HORSES CONTINUED from PAGE ONE forehead and white hind feet is merely a whim and has no money value. Some penpie admire a horse so marked. while others do not. If he has good action and lifts his feet with spirit he may attract attention, especially if all four of the feet are white, but the white star in the forehead never adds a penny one way or; the other.
