Entered at the postotflce in Decatur, tnaiauu. as sec-pd-class mail. — , I JUST FOR EXAMPLE It would r A be human to inflict up-1 on the honest public all of the prevarications—speaking softly—of the republican state organ, but here Is something that is interesting as a matter of fiction Says the organ: “It is a notable fact that no cut was made in the general or state levy. Where the tax ,evy raises money which tile democrats can get their hands on. the levy is as high as ever. The republicans cut the general levy in 1907 from 12 cents to 9 cents. The democrats did not have th* courage to increase that levy.’’ Most persons have a desire to know the truth about most things, and with reference to t :, e tax levy above mentioned, the truth is just this: By an act of the legislature of 1905, republi can in both branches, it was provided that "there shall be in the years 1905, 1906 and 1907, assessed and collected annually as other taxes are assessed and collected the sum of twelve centa on each one hundred dollars’ worth of taxable property, and fifty cents on each taxable poll in the state, which money, when collected shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury.’’ The democrats cut this levy from 12 cents to 9 cents. It was the republicans who had "the courage” to increase the levy for general expenses from 9 cents to 12 cents as the act above referred to shows. It' was the sort of “courage” that cost ■ the people more than five hundred 1 thousand dollars a year while it lasted. The backbone of the winter seems to have been rejuvenated again. The ground hog, following his six weeks as provided by law, seems to have ' been struck with the habit —“we have ' not yet begun to fight.” He might let up now, however, for everybody admits his victory.

Farmers of Adams county are beginning to realize that the beet crop will be the one to depend on this year. The wheat is a failure and the late season will make ".any of them put in more beets than they intended. There is a month in which to plant, though the farmer who starts now will have much the better prospects. Beets will prove a valuable addition to our list of crops tn be depended upon. President Taft has announced that he will continue his fight for renomination until after the convention is over, no difference how Massachusetts goes. This is probably an admission that he dots not expect to carry i that state over his opponent. The I fight between the two, a president and an ex-presldeut, is so personal, and j flavors so strongly of tho tactics of ward politicians tbit we begin to wonder how a party can afford to nominate either. It need not be surprising if the Chicago convention so decides. YOUR GRAY HAIuS QUICKLY VANISH A Harmless Remedy. Made from Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair.

So why suffer the handicap of looking old on account of gray hairs, when a simple remedy will give your hair youthful and color and beauty in a few days’ time?
