Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The Clover Leaf is reaping a harvest from the same wind that is blowing ill for many railroads, the foot and mouth disease. They are running many through trains from the southwest through to Toledo, carrying meat that is being distributed through the east. The steel mills at Gary, Kokomo and other Indiana cities are working full time now and every indication points to an era of real prosperity. Y'ou can help by being a booster. Might as well get in for the good times are bound to come. The next year or two will find the various industries of this country the busiest in history for they have to supply the world. A well known citizen of the county calls attention today to the manner of improving the macadam roads by scraping them and shows how this injures rather than improves them. Tnis man is not criticizing and his information should not be taken that w’ay, but should be thought over seriously and discussed in a fair manner. We have a million dollars invested in roads in this county. Any suggestions that will assist in taking care of that investment will be appreciated. Fred VanNuys of Anderson is a candidate for the democratic leadership of the senate and deserving of the place. He is a strong and fearless fighter for the principles he believes , in, is clean and conscientious and able and he comes from the eighth dis-

trict. He will probably land the honor and will give u good account of himself if he doea. The democrats in the upper house of the Indian assembly could not do better than to choose tills young man as the floor leader. Congressman Morrison of the Ninth Indiana district, has declared himself opposed to the Hobson amendment, the national prohibition measure, which lias created considerable discussion. Mr. Morrison is a temperance crank, and admits it, but says he is opposed to the Hobson measure be cause it is backing up in the fight. He says it means the taking away of local police power over the traffic and will not put a saloon out. He has studied the question for years and will oppose the Hobson amendment on the floor of the house. He is the only Indiana congressman who has taken a position so pronounced and the outcome will be watched with interest. In every city, town and hamlet of Indiana today began the sale of Red Cross Christmas stamps. From now on for a month you will be asked to buy and use these little stamps, the revenue from the sale of which is used to fight tuberculosis, the greatest life destroyer of modern ages. In this ■ county the sale of stamps has never been as great as it should be and this year the ladies in charge propose to make an extraordinary effort to make up for lost time in the past. You should aid them. After the campaign a Red Cross society will be used to fight the plague in Adams county. It may be that this effort will be the result of prolonging the life of some near and dear friend or relatives of yours. It’s a work for humanity’s sake. Help do it. While investigating the matter cf taking into the corporation the factory properties located just north of the city the council should remember that a committee of business men representing this community gave their promise to the sugar company to use their efforts to prevent this very thing being done for a period of five years. It would seem that the better way to do it would be to so plan and manage that by the time five years has expired the factory owners would want to be

taken in. That would be working together and would it seems to us, be better for every one. When trying to locate a new industry the spirit is always different than when such efforts are being made as are now up, but this thing should be remembered, that a community, like an individual, must always keep faith with those with whom they deal. We hope the committee will consider this. 1,. *1 .. ». *1 .1,1 ,1.1 Cudu’J DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday. Good Times Club —Vera Hunsicker. Ballade of the Faded Field. Broad bars of sunset slanted gold, Are laid along the field, and here The silence sings, as if some old Refrain that once rang long and clear, Came softly, stealing to the ear Without the aid of sound. The rill Is voiceless, and the grass is sere, But beauty’s soul abideth still. Trance-like, the mellow air doth hold The sorrow of the passing year; The heart of nature groweth cold, The time of falling snow is near; On phantom feet, which none may hear, Creeps—with the shadow of the hill — The semblance of departed cheer, But beauty's soul abideth still. The dead gray-clustered weeds enfold The well-known Summer path, and drear The dusking hills, like billows rolled Against the distant sky, appear From lonely haunts, where Night and Fear Keep ghostly tryst, when mists are chill, The dark pine lifts a ragged spear, But beauty's soul abideth still. Envoy.. Dear love, the days that once were dear May come no more; life may fulfill Her fleeting dreams with many a tear But beauty’s soul abideth still. —Robert Burns Wilson.
