You are asked to display the American hag and to assist in the observance of the day. The big three day sale opens in Decatur tomorrow. The Decatur merchants are alive. They want your trade and they are asking for it. They are emphasising it by substantial reductions in the prices. Look over the announcements, pick out your needs and buy at the big sale. Talk about hard times in Indiana? What about the hundieds of automobiles that are being purchased each week and how about the hundred thousand or more who attended the Speedway races? The efforts of the republican politicians seem to have come to naught and thew really regret it. The county commencement exercises were held today and more than 160 of the young people of old Adams stepped out of the grades either to start on the higher educational journey or to begin the battles of life. A few years ago one who completed the grades was considered well prepared for the big struggle, but now one realizes that he is just prepared to stud:,. The high school and college life is before these young people, and then a business or private career, which we hope may be as rich in returns as they may desire. Wool is quoted on the local market today at twenty-five cents per pound A year ago it was quoted at from 14c to 18c. And there are those who three months ago were bodly saying that every thing had gone to smash, yet it would seem that if there is one product in the world that would have been effected by the new tariff law, it would have been the wool market. The farmer should begin to realize that tiie tariff talk made by the republicans was made solely for the purpose of frightening them. The receipts of wool in the eastern markets last week were seventy million pounds higher than a year ago and the price was ten cents a pound higher. No wonder that Smoot and others who opposed the wool tariff so determindedly are rather “up in the air" on the proposition and have nothing to say. They u’ould have had Don’t Fail to take Advantage of the 20°!o REDUCTION On all Men’s and Boys’ Suits during the 3 Days’ Sale WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY and FRIDAY THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

■> plenty to say had the prices fallen - off a cent or two. Why not be fair and admit that the supply and demand - regulates the price of farm products r and that the world market controls It? s Theodore Roosevelt is the chief qbJ*ct of interest of the Republican mans agers and the Republican press. They j have expended a good deal of energy 5 in the past few months in explaining j to the public that the party to which i Roosevelt belongs is “shot to pieces" ‘ and is "coming back" to the Republican fold, but they show an anxiety to ■ know what the former President and his party mean to do that is singular- , ly incompatible with the assertion that the Progressives have turned Republl can again. They wonder if he means to be a candidate for Governor of New York and discuss at length the effect such a candidacy will have on his prospects In the later presidential election . —lndianapolis Star. One of the most widely circulated trade journals in this country says: “It is the consensus of opinion of the entire business world that our country once again is heading toward great prosperity. As only two weeks ate seperating us from winter w.,eat har vesting and the crop muwaied in fine condition during the entire month or May, we now possess virtual assurance of the greatest winter wheat croj in our agricultural history. The reali zation of enorr. us crops cannot heli having a magic effect on business re vival. Il would seem impossible tliai trade activity should not quickly and forcibly respond to such exceptional prospects. The great harvests must necessarily give new purchasing power to the consumer and thereby instill activity into al! other lines of trade Especially will the stimulus to great activities work this time with almost elementary force, as business of late has been rather slow and merchants are not overstocked, as they have foi months confined themselves to from hand to mouth purchases. On the otitei hand money is pb ,t,.ul and cheap am. liquidation in many lines has been go ing on. For this reason the hope foi new great prosperity is well founded and so is lie hope that the new activities will set in this time earlier than usual.” RETURNED FROM VISIT. Dr. Weaver, local oeoteopat? return ed this morning from s. week’s visit with relatives in Monticello Mo., and has resumes •,.* regular ■ .fice work. Dr. Weaver hr -sgt.i back the informa tion that ail the crops in north-eastern Missouri, with the exception of corn, are being badly effected by the con tinued drought and are in danger of being burnt up. That part of ib“ country has had no rain for the past six week. RECOVERING NICELY.

MARCH STRAIGHT 10 THE SEA; No Obstacle Abie to Make Xrm, West Indian Crabs Swcrvs From Its Course. In. the rivers and f esh water streams of the West Ind.vn mountains are quantities of crabs that scuttlo sway when anyone comes near, just like any ordinary crabs. But, as crabs go, these are very queer crabs Indeed. When an American lady crab wishes to lay her eggs, she lays them without more ado and keeps them attached to her body until they are batched. But not so her West Indian cousin. She live* tn the mountain*, but she feels that nhe must lay her eggs In the sand of the seashore. Nowhere else will do. So, once a year, all the West Indian crabs gather in a great army, which sometimes stretches 4u yards wide and more than a mile long. The* they set out for the sea, the males leading and the females behind Nothing can turn thia fierce Utile army from it* course. If a house stands in it* way. or a wall, or a cliff, over it goes. Sometimes hundreds of crabs are killed tn their tracks, but the host keep* straight on, turning neither to the right nor to the left. When the army arrives ufon the seashore, the females settle down contentedly in the sand and deposit their eggs. And when the laying season is over, the old crabs turn around and march serenely home. Made Government See Point Lieutenant Waghorn found it difficult to convince the British po*t»n>'e of the value of the isthmun of Suez as a means of shortening the letter route to India. He guaranteed to transmit a bag of letters to India and return with other* to England in the same time that it then took the letter* to go. He was granted permission to make the attempt, and difficulties at once cropped up. Coal at Port Said was S3O a ton. at Suez SIOO. so he loaded camels with coal and took them across the isthmus. When he reached Suez with the letters the steamer which he had arranged to meet him was not there. This difficulty he surmounted by chartering au open Arab boat and forcing the crew at the pistol point to take him th* 600 miles down the Red sea to Jeddah, where he found a steamer to take him ic Bombay, and the return 'ourney he completed well with’/.) tne time 1 henceforward the istnmus route became the overland route, for Waghoru was able to convince the Arab* that the protection of the mails was better than looting them. English gold being his strongest argument. Ne>!*« Proof of Mart 1 * Prosenee. Nettis* are Mid to be an almost certain proof that man h '.a lived ou the spot.
