Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mai' F. H. Hubbard and family are now j residents of Decatur. We will welcome them to our fair city, believing they will prosper and soon love old Adams county as we do. This community owes much to Mr. Hubbard for ■ his efforts and success in bringing here the sugar factory. — The Eighth district of Michigan se- j lected delegates to the' national con-' vention Friday and notwithstanding | the claims heretofore of Governor Osborne, the two men were instructed to; vote for Mr. Taft. So far there have been selected sixty four delegates, each and all of whom have been instructed fur Taft. Congress is much excited over two bills just presented, one to remove sugar from the free list, and another ’ to make up the deficit thus caused to ■ the revenue by creating an income | tax. The bills had been kept a se- l cret by the ways and means committee and when sprung caused consid- 1 erable of a furor. Governor Marshall and Mrs. Marshall are at home from a trip to the southwest. A thrilling experience was a four days’ hold-up in a snow drift at Garden City, Kansas. The governor enjoyed the experience, however, and is back on the job at the state house, feeling fine, and ready for any worries that may come along. In a speech at Denver Mr. Bryan said that when p party gets to the point that it believes that it has “only one man in it fit to be president, it would be better to bury the party and start all over again.’’ As the republican party seems to have come to that conclusion it is due to be buried. And that is what will happen to it next November. Not long ago the Hon. James E. Watson, speaking of the present republican president, said: “Taft is not. strong in central Indiana.” A little later he said of Roosevelt: "There are thousands of republicans in Indiana who would not vote for Roosevelt.” It is known that Watson is against IjaFollette, Cummins and all other possible and impossible insurgent candidates. It is very evident, therefore, that the Rushville statesman, politically speaking, is between the devil and the deep sea. SHOE REPAIRING. I am now prepared to do your repairing, and do it right.

j VANADIUM USED IN _ AUTO CONSTRUCTION More Durable Than Steel —Only Question is a a,. L ° its Expensiveness • Vanadium steel is what the federal government would like to hame in forty locomotives to use at Panama, but is vanadium too expensive? This : is the pretty problem with which the I secretary of war is now wrestling, i Forty locomotives of carbon steel can ■ be bought fc- $498,010, whereas vanadium construction would foot up to $820,295. Yet the government is hesi j tating for the work the locomotives i have to do is strenuous in the extreme. | It is their duty to tow the great ocean vessels through thu canal, and, to gain su:cient purchase, they are to work upon cogged rails. This will subject the locomotives to extraordinary vibration and vibration is 'atal to com- ; mon or corbon steel, rapidly causing i disintegration and breakdown. This has been proved repeately in the automobile field. Cars in time begin to fail without any appreciable I | cause. Mijor repairs have constantly !to be made, and in the end many ■ I machines prove more trouble than j ; they are worth. The same remedy that the govern- i ment is preparing to use at Panama I has already been .brought into auto-! , mobile construction Vanadium has | j been used with remarkable results, i Vanadium is a mineral alloy, scarce in < the market, and coming from mines in Peru. When fused in the proportion j of about six part sto the hundred with j i molten steel it acts as a flux, cleansing i the fusion and rendering the mole j cules of the steel practically proof; I against crystallization, the bane of: , common steels. Heat treatment com- ; blued with vanadium, makes a steel, l that is of tremendous toughness. Vanadium steel is used in many ; j automobiles, in some parts that are : . subject to the great vibration and ; i strain. One car, the Ford, is coni structed of vanadium throughout. In fact it was Henry Ford who popular- ■ ized vanadium among the makers of : cars. I A great advantage of vanadium con- I struction is that it allows dead weight to be cut to the minimum. This in turn reduces maintenance expense and gives lines to the car. Not infreqently attention is called : in a striikng manner to the superiority of vanadium over other and cheaper steels. A short time ago a car of vanadium construction smashed into a heavy touring car almost four times its own weight. The vanadium car was scarcely feazed, and drove away under its own power, while the twoton touring car had to be towed away a battered wreck. A facetious bystander called the encounter the battle of the "Monitor and the Merrimac." Laboratory tests also verify , the superiority of vanadium Tests made at the University of Michigan upon the axle of a Ford err failed to break the axle, although the most powerful torsion machine was brought to bear on it. For reasons such as these the secretary us war is considering whether in the long run it will not pay the federal government muc hbetter to expend almost twist as much for its fort}- locomotives and get them of vanadium. —Chicago Sunday Examiner. 1 February 18, 1912.
