Entered at the postofflee in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. There is a splendid opportunity for the people of this community to aid In the work of furnishing flour and other provisions for the suffering people of Belgium. Other Indiana cities are doing it. Shall we not show our good will toward those in distress? The Panama canal will earn the first year over a half million dollars of net profit and this notwithstanding the fact that a great international war lias badly affected the shipping trade. The total business will be nearly five million dollars and this will increase from year to year. All signs fail in dry weather and the fellows who predicted a mild win ter will have to change the dope if this start is any criterion. But at that the change is welcomed by the gener al merchant whose fall trade has been slight because one did not need heavy dotting or shoes. This should put life in the local trade and it will for the merchant who advertises. The stock yards in Chicago and Buffalo and other great centers of the middle west and east reopened today, after being closed ten days to stamp out the foot and mouth disease. It is believed that never in the history of this country has'such a determined effort been made to combat any disease and it is thought that the officials ■will now be able to retain control. The morning papers contained a number of items that point to the early prosperity of the nation. In one place we noticed that Charles M. Schwab is on his way home aboard the Adriatic with orders for a iiundred million dollars’ worth of war ammunition tucked in his inside vest pocket, the result of a little trip to England. In another place we read that the Gary steel mills reopen today with every department going full blast. And this even under a democratic president. You know it looks as though the real progressive, instead of returning to the republican ranks may decide to go on with President Wilson and the democrats. Why not? The opening of the reserve banking system in the United States today marks a new era and is we believe the opening of the most prosperous years in the history of this nation. It Is estimated that it will immediately put into circulation nearly two hundred million dbllars that have been hoarded for several months at least. Along with this comes the news of big <(rders received from abroad, the opening of the great mills of the couu-

comlng year thp greatest ever known in the United States. It’s up to you to get your share. You can’t do it sitting idly by and knocking, but you can by getting out and hustling and boosting. Mr. Wilson has made good. It won’t do any good to hammer now. You might as well get on the band wagon and be one of the men who do things. America must feed the world next year. It’s a big Job. You can help do it if you want to and be well paid for any part you take. It’s up to you. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday. Research Club —Mrs. Engene Runyon.

Youth reaches heights age may not touch, and falls as falls the bolt, But lands as might the falling cat and never gets a jolt. At eighteen years the boy's in love; his spirit gladly soars; He wants to rave about his love and tells the whole outdoors. When suddenly there is a spat, and in a small, short week Those loving souls have grown so cold their owners do not speak. And does the young man slay himself that he is so bereft? Ah no; he simply figures out that lots of girls are left, And in the briefest sort of time, from where his bruised heart lies, It picks itself up from the dust and once again it flies. —Galveston News. Mr, and Mrs. Anthony Wertsberger went to Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday with their daughters, Mesdames Jared Reed and Lewis Kintz.

Supper waß served at 7:45, after which many side-splitting games were played. Sam Durbin, notwithstanding his great size, kept the assemblage laughing the entire evening at some of his cutles. Garth Roop caused considerable excitement when he was asked to find the whistle. Don Teeple took a ride in an air ship. When he had soared to the clouds his motor failed to work and he fell dizzily to the floor, after whicli he took an invoice of his belongings and found Sam Durbin beneath the aircraft pinned to the floor and calling out, “Help, take him off; it’s not here!” The company was royally entertained by Mr. Roop and his wife, who played .several selections. Mr. Roop proved his ability as a violinist, to so great an extent that he was silently recog--1 nized by all present as an old time “fiddler.” The company departed at a late hour, after taking their leave of the family and wishing them peace and happiness in their new home at Pleasant Mills, Ind. —Contributed. The Afternoon “500” club will meet Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Arthur Mangold. Mrs. Michael Miller and Mrs. E. F.

One interesting feature of the United Brethren Christian Endeavor society’s meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Kiracofe tomorrow evening will be the sale of “old bachelors.” There is much wonder as to how this will be carried out, but it is being held a secret. The society will hold its regular monthly business meeting on this evening and after the business period there will be a social. The social committee of the society will serve refreshments free and all members and friends of the organisation are invited.
