Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. Don't stop talking about Decatur and Adams county and the good things we have. Listen —we have the greatest asset here in all the world—good land. Other counties may boast of their gas fields, their coal banks, their water power and a thousand other things, but we have soil, rich and producing, which will never wear out and which is bound to keep up any community in the world. We are in the center of the acknowledged best county in Indiana. You have a right to feel good and proud, and if you don’t say so, you are not loyal to your own best and dearest interests. Ult K It has been suggested that the democratic state committee should call an early state convention, as early or earlier than tne convention of two years ago. me object being that with the registration law it will be more necessary than ever to get into the field early with a working organization. It is hard to make any progress in organization work until after the state convention has been held and yie ticket named. An early convention would also be evidence of the fact that the Indiana democrats are fully alive to the opportunities that confront them, and that they intend to make an aggressive campaign. We hope that the state committee will act upon t’-e advice tendered them, and will call for an early convention and follow that with the best organization ever made in the state. Adams county was honored Friday night when the new school building was dedicated at Monroe, and it was honored in more ways than one. It is a thing that we may well feel proud of that a town and toynship coincides in educational ideas and erects a building the proportions of this handsome new structure, that the young may be prepared to go forth in the great battle well fitted to stand alone. We doubt if another town the size of Monroe in the state can boast such a school and we arc as proud of it as are the good people of that district. We were further honored by the attendance on this occasion of the state officers and other men who are deeply interested in the future welfare of the township, county and state. We hope and believe that this school will produce many learned men and women. FOR SALE —One range and washing machine. In good condition. Enquire of H. Snow; 'phone 428. 242t6

WERE RE-ELECTED Mrs. John Vail Enters Upon Fourteenth Year as Conference Treasurer FOR W. H M. SOCIETY Mrs. Emma Daniel Re-elect-ed Vice President—Returns From Convention. Mrs. John W. Vail returned Friday evening from Elkhart, where she attended the annual convention of the M. E. Woman's Home Missionary sosiety of the North Indiana conference, in session there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Mrs. Vail was unanimously elected again to the office of conference treasurer, having entered upon her fourteenth year as such, a very rare tribute indeed to her ability and the esteem in which she is held. Mrs. Emma Daniel was also re-elected to the office of vice president of the conference association, an office she has held several years. The new officials elected are: President emeritus—Mrs. L. H Bunyan, Richmond President —Mrs. Christeen Smith. Anderson. Vice President—Mrs. Emma Daniel. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. A. B. Cline, of Bluffton. Recording Secretary—Miss Olla Da vis, Middletown. Treasurer—Mrs. J. W. Vail, Decatur. This conference society had the honor again of having the highest mite box offering of any conference in the United States, the offering this year exceeding that of all others by $412.08. It has held the banner for this for five years. The total amount of mite offerings from all conferences for the year was $31,218.14, and that of the North Indiana conference. $2.236.58. The next convention will be held next November in Newcastle. A fact of much interest here is that Mrs. C. C. Murray, wife of the Rev. Murray, pastor of the Yorktown M. E. church, and who retires this year from the conference presidency, will leave the first of December, with her husband and their daughter, Miss Emma, for Porto Rico as missionaries, assuming charge of the George Robinson school for Spanish children. Miss Emma, who is a teacher in the high school at Yorktown, has resigned there to go to Porto Rico as a teacher : at a salary just half that she lias gotten here. Mrs. Murray is an aunt of , Jesse Sutton of this city, and is ac- ! qualnted with many here, having at- ‘ tended the district convention held here this spring. Mrs. Vai! reports the convention as an excellent and in--spiring one.

Eight sheds of the Cardwell Stave company, with | their contents, were destroyed by fire, which occurred at 1 o'clock Thursday morning. These will be rebuilt at once, and at the time of writing the letter, Mr. Vail stated that the work ; of getting nut the posts for the new ’ sheds had already begun and by the | lime of Mrs. Vail’s arrival there, one of the sheds would be completed. — o — ■ DITCH SOLD TODAY.

After welcoming the guests a merry evening was spent at various games and the whole crowd attended the Pearl Moving picture show, after which a sumptuous lunch was served by Mrs. Erwin and the guests departed wishing Earl many more such happy occasions.
