Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. The United States Express company has concluded to quit business and lias appointed trustees to liquidate the affairs. The parcel post put th.dr business on the hummer and they were too slow and too set in their old fashioned methods to meet the opposition. Senator Beveridge insists that there is no such a political animal as a progressive republican, and Insists that a man who claims to be one is not progressive enough to be a progressive nnd not republica nenough to lie a real republican. A commission composed ot those republicans who had so much trouble defining the various kinds ot . democrats they said they found in , the political field a few years ago s might be called as confessed experts ’ in sheep and goat herding.—The Com- ' i Dioner.

The Berne Witness admits that the democrats will win in Indiana this year, even makes the positive statement that the result is settled right now. You are right. F'red. They will also win in Adams county, in tii ’ Eighth congressional district and all over the United States. They will win. too. in two years from now—be cause the people recognize the tact I that the democratic party is fighting for them and for their best interests, that every official from the president down to the township assessor is trying his very best to do the right thing. You can't Iteat this kind of service and you can't maneuver enough to defeat tile democrats any place. It's good to hear you say so. According to a story from Huntington the Erie railroad has reduced the pey of the Italian workmen who have been assisting in the <1 oubl>- track work five cents an hour and the men quit, of course. Officials of the road smile wisely and rathe, intimate that it was a polite way to let the men out. Just what they are trying to pull off. no one seems able to say. but it is assur»-d that there is no reason in the world why there should lie a wage reduction The railroads cannot handle the freight even now, and the spring rush has not even opened. Within a few weeks they will have to pay fancy wages to secure men. If the railroads would pay their attention

to business instead of trying to inffnence a five per cent increase in freight rates, they would probably find just as much favor with the public. UNION CHAPEL PASTRY SALE.

■ 1 HOW $2 GREW. j In 1856 the Falls Village Bank ] was opened in Winsted. Conn. One of the first depositors opened an account with $2, which he ' never touched, but has allowed it to remain all these years. He c never added to the deposit, but . the principal and interest on that $2 deposit today amounts to $21.06. In other words, in 66 years the deposit increased over | 1,000 per cent—or over 15 per cent a year. Had that depositor opened his account with $2,000 he would today have $21,000. Supposing you open an account with us in our Savings Department. You can start it with SI.OO. Every week, or every j month add something to it—just small sums you can afford to lay aside. Don't touch it. Let the interest compound year to year. ' Why don’t you try it? You will j spend the money and have noth- ' ing to show for it. By saving it here, you can get it at any time —and if kept until old age it will amount to a fortune.
