Entered at the postofflce In Decatur, <ndiaua, as second class matter. An ice crop, sufficient for all purposes. seems assured. We are glad it is so, else irresponsible editors would have l»een sure to have charged a failure to the democratic administration. The Indianapolis News has for years opposed Thomas Taggart. Recently they copied an editorial from Harper s Weekly, in which he was re ferred to as a 'grafting boss.” A day or two later they recalled the allegation almost as gracefully as did the Huntington Herald a few months ago. Mr. Taggart is asking the newspapers who attack him maliciously to prov-t their statements or admit they have mis-stated the facts. Even the big city dailies apparently have their troubles. The greatest financiers of the cation. even the Wall street multi-mil-lionaires. agree that President Wilson li&s made good. ha« done the most good things for the country of any president since Lincoln. They also proclaim an era of prosperity unequeled in the history of this land as soon as the laws are effective. The leading story in the Saturday Evening Post this week gives the ideas of many of ! the greatest money kings of the land] and it makes mighty interesting reading. Among those who study and think there is no doubt but that thff democratic administration has made a wonderful start and lias accomplished the passage of laws tiiat oUijr» haye simply talked about passing for a half century. According to the Herald, one-fifth the men in all the factories of the country are out of employment, the prices on products have gone to almost nothing and the whole country •in general has gone to hades in a hanging basket. The argumets they produce are so perceptibly wroug that we don't believe they can convince themselves of their position. Though the tariff law has been in effect only a few weeks the Herald editor is convinced that it is the cause of heavy snows, the floods, and about everything nad imaginable. While the law is all to blame for the fait that wheat is seven cents lower than a year ago. according to that paper it has nothing to do with the fact thnt corn, oats and barley are higher, that th» prices on hogs and other live stock exceeds that of a year ago. They argue that the fanner gets much ' less and the city man pays more and If there is a man in the county who]

f believes that, he must be easily con-1 - vinced. The facts are that the tariff I law will prove a blessing to all the c country und all fair minded people r will say so. The Herald insists that j within a year everything will '>« topsy-turvey. Well, let's wait and see. That's a good way to settle the argument. B 5 8 £ | DOINGS IN SOCIETY ? j !

A QUEER CASE Large Balls of Hard Substance Found in Dead Cow’s Stomach. I ARE HAIR B ALLS Caused by Cows Licking Themselves or Each Other—Not Hemp Twine. Persistent pursuit of a subject is usually finally rewarded with definite results. Several years ago a lay citizen, while going over the fertilizer plant north of the city, and enjoying the novelties of the place, came across the carcass of a cow. A post mortem operation had evidently been made. Anyhow, the cow's stomach had been opened and this revealed several large round balls of a hard looking substance. which evidently had grown ir. the cow's stomach, and which the lay citizen, without gathering any further evidence in the case, thought might have attributed to her death. The balls ranged in size from a croquet ball down, and were worn smooth tike rock salt that has been licked clean or tike a washed stone. However. when the substance had been dug into with a knife, it was found to be easily cut. and seemed like the fibre of a rope. The lay citizen inferred that it was probably hemp twine which the cow had eaten, and which might have been chopped with its food, which had been probably tied with the twine. Pondering over the case fur several years. the lay citiaen finally sent an account of ft to "The Country Gentle man." a farm paper published by the 1 Cnrtts f’ublishing company, in connec ■ tion with the Saturday Evening Pest an dthe Ladies' Home Journal. Yes- j I (erday an answer came from the farm ‘paper, stating the "balls are more; likely balls of hair rolled up in Ute, I cow's stomach, and caused from lick ! >ng themselves or each other. As the hemp fibre in twine is vegeti able, it would probably have beeu digested. whereas the hair is not so eas ily digested. — - " —— -O NEW DOCKET ARRIVES G. F.

W A Keystone Comedy A BAD GAME I DON'T MISS THEM I FROM LIFE OF WASHINGTON. I We love to read altout his life. i And how he won his honored name; How well he led them through the strife. I And feught until our freedom came. George Washington, who. first in war, And ju*t as true, was first in peace; His name we always will adore. And may our thoughts of him increase. And God. who led him in those days. Through all his battles, great and small. Will guide us on our narrow days. That leads to Honor, Life and All. So let us. who are starting out, , On life's unknown and boundless sea; Do what is right, and without doubt. We'll be as great, as greet can tie. . We may not be a president, II 11 Commander of the army; But just a simple life well spent. I May help some blinded soul to -ee. . And more is he in God's great sight. , Who rules his spirit well; Than he. who with ids skill and might. Takes cities with his.-shot and shell. - M.
