Tbe open weather this tall makes it hard to believe that the holiday, so anxiously awaited, is but seventeen days away. Frank Jaquu, a Portland attorney, is J said to be aspiring to ibn position of, controller of the currency, and with i considerable chance of success. Mr., Jaqu<t ts an able young man, well | qualified, and with many friends to urge bis appointment. The job pays $6,000 per year and is one of those worth going after. Attorney Luta, in a written opinion, ! tells what steps are necessary to legally dispose of the old and discarded cemetery. It can be done at a small expense so far as that phase of j the work is concerned, but the city | must take the initiative. There is but one way to do a duty of this kind and that is to do It as provided by the laws of the state. Champ Clark is after one Professor Harbour of the normal school at Ypsllautl, Mich. It Is alleged that the said Harbour made a public statement at a teachers' institute in Cbambersburg, Pa., on the 2nth of November that Clark was scheduled for a speech at Ann Arbor at one time, but was so badly intoxicated that hia fraternity brethren had to put him to bed to Bleep it off Champ says he has not touched a drop since, July, 1904, and be calls upon Harbour to make a public retraction or he will Institute pr> ceedings for criminal libel. That's what Clark o'tght to do, and if the professor does not come through, he should be shown up.—Columbia City Post.

will lend their assistance toward the future success of this big Industry. It means much to the value of your farm, In dollars and cents as well as in improvement of the soil. It means much to every merchant of Decatur that the ten thousand acres wanted for next year be secured as near to this city as possible. Co-operation is therefore the thing that should be uppermost in the minds of everybody in this community. The sugar factory this week had a pay roll amounting to $7,000. The campaign is nearly over, shortened from four to eight weeks because of the lack of beets. With a sufficient amount of acreage the factory could operate some time yet. Let’s line up shoulder to shoulder and we will all be richer and happier. Dr. J. W. Viiaurd, the Pleasant Mills physician, was In town this afternoon, attending to bustness and dis- ! cussing politics, the latter being about | the only amusement the doctor In--1 dulges In, except automoblling and 1 playing the violin. By the way, he is 1 an expert on the old-fashioned fiddle, much as the announcement may surprise you. Winfield Maddy's basket ball team clashed in the first game of the season this morning with Dick Heller's North Ward bunch. The South Siders came out victorious by a score of 8 to 1, after forty minutes of desperate play. However, the North End boys still claim they can do It, and have arranged another battle for next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when Mr. Jonas Tritch will again referee.

The sugar factory is nearing the end of its first campaign. It is likely that another week will finish the cutting up of all the beets on hand. There are about four daya’ run on the grounds and the beets from rei>orts over the field, are fairly well In. The crop this i year will be about thirty thousand , tons, but five’ thousand less than was estimated. While this is regretted. It iis no worse showing than is made ;in practically every territory, and much better than tome. ; e— I —— FARMS FOR KA’-C. l’.*l acres, level, fine.
