Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. A safe and sane Fourth seems as eured for Decatur this year. At least bo far as has been announced there will be no wild celebration. Our people seem to have almost forgotten the play grounds subject. We are sure they feel kindly towards this splendid movement but they do not give it the consideration it deserves. If one can tell by reading the press dispatches just now whether Villa and Carranaa are friends or enemies or just where we stand in the Mexican muddle he will have to do a lot of guessing. About every other cablegram contradicts the one before it. Colonel Roosevelt is the foxy boy. He has been examined by a London throat *| who throat is ,n -u :A to make

With such legislation as is needed to take the fangs out of the octopuses that have prayed upon the industrial forces of the land placed upon the statute books the nation can look forward to an era of extraordinary prosperity. Natural conditions are exceptionally favorable. All the people now want is that Greed, Grab & Co. be kept under the proper restraint. —Goshen Democrat. "There is no occasion,” says the Logansport Pharos-Reporter, “for any man in Indiana who really wants to run off to Kansas, Oklahoma or other western states to answer to the call for farm hands. The demand for hands on Indiana farms is greater than th" supply, and, all things considered, the conditions are more favorable and the pay just as attractive. Talk to any Cass county farmer and be will tel! you that the drawback to farming is the difficulty in securing dependable help.” This is gratifying news from c “Dombey” ... , ’ i The New Wash Suit for Little Fellows » Two Piece Effect Buttoned at the Waist Line White Waist With Blue Pants Sizes 3 to 6 Years SPECIAL 30 cts. -T.:- | * -‘J THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY I
