Entered at the postoflice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class malt A new Masonic Temple that wouiu be a credit to that order and a monument to the city, is not an impossibility. It would help this year. It took a man's man to admit that he was in error the way that Editor Newett did at Marquette, Mich. Well, you will find many a newspaper man of the same type, but how remarkable it is that so few people really accord to the profession the distinction that is its just due. Muncie Star.

If you want to see the greatest crops you ever beheld, take a drive through Adams county right now, and we don’t care which direction you travel. The wheat is the best ever seen here, the oats and corn are as always as good as they could be, the beets give evidence of breaking all the world's records, the clover is marvelous, the hay and everything else is coming in away that makes a fellow glad that he lives in God's own country.

The seventeenth amendment to the j constitution of the United States is ! now effective, providing for the di- ( rect election of the United States sen-, ators. The people have demanded it for years and now we shall have it ' and an election or two will demon- 1 ( strate its success or failure. Next,: year Indiana will select its first Unit- i ed States senator under the new law and the people will say who shall hold that very important position. Th-j | popular election of senators may not mean the election of popular senators. Very happily, there appears in the commercial and industrial horizon no hint of the business depression whi.h an occasional advance agent of gloom has insisted was soon to come upon the United States. Up to the first of May on e great locomotive building concern had this year sold 115,000,000

worth of locomotives to American rail- ; roads. Building records over the country are at top notch. An expert estimate of the wheat yield this year,' made after a six weeks’ tour of the - \ winter wheat states, forc;*ft an unusually heavy yield—more' than one hundred million bushels in excess of last year’s crop. We might as well be happy. Prosperity isn’t eve thinking of deserting us. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. i

This radical departure from the old style outline’’ letters makes it possible to produce on The Oliver Typewriter, a page of manuscript as clear and attractive as that of the finest book The Oliver is the first and only typewriter that successfully prints print! THE PRIMARY REASON Printype resulted from our discovery that outline type, with its sameness, due to absence of shading, was harmful to the eyes. THE SILENT TEST ““For montha7without any advertising, we put hundreds of Printype Oliver Typewriters into actual service, in many diverse lines of business We wanted the public s verdict It came in a burst of admiration and a flood of orders that proved ihuutype a brilliant success. Printype letters, wherever seen, excited the keenest interest. Busins® men who received th r first Printype letter almost invariably answered, post haste, "Where did you get that type” Tl.us Printype captured the country without firing a single shot. x PRICE NOT ADVANCED The Printype Oliver Typewriter sells for sioo.
