Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. it is difficult to grasp the full meaning of the figures published by the Federal Department of Agriculture on the crop profits of the present year. Os the thirty-eight million persons engaged in gainful occupations in the entire country, as reported in the last census, twelve millions, cr nearly one-third, are at work on the farms. Fancy the increased ability tc buy commodities that unprecedented harvests will bring to these millions! And when they begin to buy all the wheels of industry and trade are set in motion. The entire economic structure from the bottom up is lifted. And as to money values—it is likely that this year's crops will bt [ worth at least $10,000,000,000. Alongside a sum the $82,090,000 gold exported to Europe since the beginning ot tile year looks like "loose change."— New York Herald. , Henry Ford, the multi-millionaire automobile manufacturer, whose rise in the business world is one of the most remarkable achievements of Am erican genius and whose ten million dollar profit sharing plan has made him a national character, recently visited the White House and had a conference with President Wilson. Here is what Mr. Ford said about presant business conditions: "I believe, and I think practically every other business man believes, that most of the eviis a med in the President's program exist and ought to be obviated. I am convinced that it would be for the best interests of the country to pass the anti-trust legislation. I think it would have a settling effect and would aid in bringing on the extra prosperity to which the country is entitled. I hope Congress will finish the work before it adjourns. There is absolutely nothing wrong with business. The only trouble is that some people seem pessimistic. If everyone would only cheer up and attend to his business this calamity talk would stop‘immediately. My own business is fifty per cent better than it was last year!" Mr. | Ford also told tiie President that he saw no evidence of any sort of business depression, psychologically or otherwise, and that in his opinion busines was getting better all the time.

UNJUST TO SEMINOLES WRITER CRITICIZES COURSE OF THE UNITED STATES. Indiana Juatified in Their Resiatance to Removal From Their Landa, According to the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. It was 68 years ago that the Dade massacre took place near Fort Drane, in Florida, writes the Rev. Thomas H. Gregory. Major Dado and his command of 100 men were attacked by the Seminoles aud completely wiped out, only four of the force escaping The head and front of the Seminole war, In the course of which this "massacre" occurred, was Osceola, as pure a patriot and as gallant a fighter as ever broke into history The Seminoles were dissatisfied i with a treaty that a few chiefs had made for their emigration west of the Mississippi, and when Gen. Thompson was sent to remove them by force they arose, under the leadership of Osceola, and began fighting ‘ for the land that had come down to them from their fathers.

They did just what the Americans would certainly have done under similar conditions. The United States troops were invaders and the Seminoles resisted them. Major Dade and his men were invaders and the Seminoles killed them. The fact that a little bunch of chiefs, assisted by American “diplomacy" and firewater, had mad* a "treaty'' giving away their country did not seem sufficiently sacred to the red men to justify them in submitting to the American claims Osceola fought like a Hon for two years against vastly superior num bers, and in 1837 was made a prisoner by General Jesup, while holding a conference with him under a flag of truce, and imprisoned In Fort Moultrie until his death which took place two years later. Beatpn in the field and bereft of their great leader, the Seminoles retired to the swampy fastnesses of the everglades and kept up the fight for five years longer, successfully resisting the onslaughts of more than 10,000 American troops. To this day the descendants of the Seminoles are to b» found in the big Florida swamp, preserving in their features and in their courage the characteristics of their stalwart and gamy ancestors. Osceola had every cause to hate the white man. His wife w%s seized as a slave, and when he protested and threatened revenge he was seized by Gen. Thompson and imprisoned for six days in irons. For this outrage Osceola killed Thompson, for doing which he was dubbed a "ferocious savage” and declared an outlaw. Great is the mystery of the white man's justice! It is no wonder that the children of the forest were never able to understand the ethics and religion of the paleface. Stung. London reports the discovery of the meanest man of whom there is any record. This Englishman has just been divorced from his wife —for what, do you guess? Wrong. You couldn’t guess it in a week of Sundays. The mean fellow carried live bees around in his pockets. Every time his wife went to examine his pockets to see if they needed mending—or for other reasons—see any jest bosk—she was cruelly stung. Unable to endure such treatment, she secured a divorce. She felt that one of the most ancient of wifely duties —and privileges—that of Inspecting the bottom of her husband’s pockets—was not only interfered with, but was made a method of torture. The man, of course, argued that he had a right to carry what he pleased in his pockets—but the granting of the divorce would seem like a denial of this right. So man may well begin to ponder this question: What may a man rightfully carry in his pockets? Direct Healing. Why do new thought healers and metaphysicians generally object to the use of medicine in its other phase —as a chemical stimulant to vital reaction? For a multitude of reasons, but one will suffice; the only cause of disease is abnormal thought or emotion—back of every attack, acute or chronic, lies a false belief of an intense and w-rongly directed desire or emotion. As long as these corrosive vibrations are turned into the organism it is impossible for permai»ent health to exist; and on the other hand, as soon as they are reversed, the life power which originally built the body is perfectly capable of rebuilding and setting it to rights. To strive to force it do so by the use of chemical irritants, while at the same time destructive thought is allowed to continue its work, is absurd. — Nautilus. Getting Even. Apropos of foreign honesty, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler tells this story. "On a foreign railroad,” he said, "a commuter had a row' with the conductor. At the end of the row the commuter turned to a friend and said: “ 'Well, the P. D. R. will never see another cent of my money after this.’ "The conductor, who was departing, looked back and snarled: “ 'What'll you do? Walk?’ " ‘Oh, no.’ said the commuter, TH stop buying tickets and pay ny fare to you.’ ” | — • - -.'ii wwi. , *
