You can buy most any thing you want from a paper of pins to an automobile at reduced prices, if you do your trading in Decatur next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Isn't it worth the effort ? The death of Emanuel Woods, takes from active life another of the pioneers of this section. He passed the four score year mark and his years were active ones indeed. He was a man who did things and whose advice was always good on questions of importance to the community. .Make up a list of articles you need. Look over the lists of bargains offered by the various merchants of Decatur and take advantage of the first big cooperative sate next ■week. Yes will be pleased and so will the merchants and eventually it helps everybody. The biggest things about it all is that everybody is working together for the general good of the community. Help do it. General rains over Indiana today brought relief to city folks and joy to the hearts of the farmers who in many sections were becoming alarmed. Parched fields lifted up their heads to the Heavens when a deluge of water fell to quench the thirst that was becoming unbearable. While it came to late to save the berry crop in the sou’ll part of the state it was most helpful to the wheat, oats, rye and beet tields. The new tariff act has made good in its first year, showing a wonderful achievement on the part of the skilled law makers who framed this greatest act of legislation in a half century. Representative Rainey, speaking for the administration. Thursday told the members of congress that the bill et timated to produce an income of $2”J>000,000 a year has aioady brought in that amount with twenty days to go cn. As the income is about one million dollars a day, the total will exceed the estimate by twenty million dollar.i. The democratic party has acted in good faith. They have passed the bills demanded by the people and if these laws are given a fair trial they will each and every one make good.

been freely predicted by the republican . press of the country. Yet with all this the country is right, new tn better j shape than It han been for years ami it will improve and that betterment will be a healthy one, not one built artificially by big interests which rob the people with one hand while giving them a friendly clasp with the other. It is said that a reporter asked Champ Clark If he expects to succeed Mr. Wilson as president and he replied: ‘'Mr. Wilson will have no successor.” He no doubt meant that Mr. Wilson had made good and will succeed himself, but the Star league hastens to draw the inference that the speaker meant that a democrat would not sue ceed Mr. Wilson, going on the theory that Mr. Clark is still holding a grudge against the president and the secretary of state for his defeat at the Baltimore convention. Mr. Clark is an old time politician and no one seriously believe? that he would at this time of splendid 'achievements by the democratic party jmake any such a prediction. The democratic party has kept faith with the people. They have passed the tarrift law. the currency bill and the vote on the antitrust bill yesterday when I more than sixty republicans and bull Imoosers voted with the democrat show that it will become a law aud will be popular. The democrats have 'done more in one year to help the peo pie than the republicans did in fifty lyears. There are two years yet for Mr. Wilson to continue to make good and lif be does the people will agree with i Mr. Clark that the president will sue ceed himself and that no others need apply for the job. either democrat, rc publican or progressive.
