I BUILDING A BARN WITHOUT BOARD A carpenter would not think of building a barn without I wards would he? And he doesn’t simply order boards and.ieave it go at that. He selects the kinds of woods he needs, the proper lengths and thicknesses. Yet isn't It a fact that you are attempting to erect the building which is to hold your Fortune without a Bank acc>unt? You can no more do it than a carpenter can build a barn I without boards. And in a selection of a Hauk that is to be your Hank, it is essential to your success that you choose one that will give you personal attention. That is the character of Bank you need in your busin ?ss. FIRST NATIONAL BANK Decatur. Indiana. I < I 4 ———— - ! pu i 8 THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS o ; | H Corrected Every Afternoon 5 ! U-.L Ji i

LEATHER FURNITURE. More Leather is Now Used in Upholstery Work. Poople in Ronpral may not realize the extent to which the use of leather has increased for furniture and general upholstery purposes. This is only one form of the luxurious tastes of the people which is being entered to nt the expense of so necessary an article to our existence as shoes. If one visits any furniture store in the country today he will find that furniture that is upholstered with leather will be featured. Dining < hairs will have leather seats, Turkish rockers will be leather covered, there will be leather upholstered library seta and leather couches. A lew years ago m<*«t of the easy chairs and parlor sets were upholstered in fabrics, velours, corduroys, brocades, etc., but today, instead oi jutrlors we have living rooms with mission furniture and leather seat and hack cushions. This changed appearance of the taste and display of furniture is only one of the forms of the increasing demand for leather outside of the purposes for which it is absolutely nesesssry. In the automobile industry, for instance, there are fabrics that could be used for upholstery which would give equally as good and perhaps better service than leather, but tbe people who purchase automobiles seem determined to demand leather. While the demand for leather is In creasing in this and other directions the supply is less in proportion. The country has less cattle today than five years ago There is also an increasing tendency to kill the calves to be sold as veal rather than allow them to grow up. because of the high cost of feed. At the same time we have a rapidly increasing population demanding shoes. Never before were the shoo man e lecturers and retailers confronted with such unfavorable, market conditions. They are compelled by the world-wide operation of the law oi supply and demand to ask more for shoes. This bears hard on the consumer, but he should not mistake the cause. There are over 1,300 shoe manufacturing concerns and over 50,000 retailers of boots and shoes. There has never been the slightest symptom of combination between these inannfac-

She went to high school with Sallie; ' Singer, and it is the joy of her life to | poke her head into the Singer home , ‘ j when Sallie has company and yell, ; "Sall, here's your milk!" But Sallie j j never tries to refrigerate her with the ; Spitsbergen glare which she uses on i | us collectively when she goes to the < theater. You couldn’t possibly refrigerate Emma, but you might encourage ! her to say more like the time wh n ■ ■ Sarah Payiey passed her on the street i without siieaking, being busy trending ■ the upper altitudes with a young I Princeton College visitor, and Em' < i yelled back, “'For goodness sakes, I J Sarey, If you didn't lace so tight you I I could get your chin down and se-»| 3 11 some-one!' ” 1 ' —o "■ .
