Yesterday' was the coldest November day in six years and this after the numerous predictions that the winter was to be a mild one would not necessitate a trip to Florida or California. The man who does not keep his word will not get Very far in a business way. Neither will a community. There are certain pledges of honor that will not be repudiated, by men who feel that their word is as good as their bond. The Saturday Evening Post says it is a great deal more important whether or not you will mortgage your life insurance policy or make the old overcoat do another winter, than who is president, or any other officer. They say, too, that the people are tired of high C politics and ready for a period of business. It is now estimated that the war in Europe could last ten years before the finances would be exhausted. It is surprising how long a nation can fight even after it becomes bankrupt, so far as the outside world is concerned. The revolution in this country more than c century ago proved this, for we fought and won without a dollar of real money. The Gary schools are being talked about in every city in this land and the reputation has now reached Europe. A writer from London says that the schools of this Indiana city aro now quoted in that city extensively and the real thing is that individual work is given the student. He is taught what he can best learn and ne is taught it any time of day or night that he can spare the time. It is announced that out of every three people in the city of Gary one is now going to school. The system was inaugurated by William Wirt, a young man who a few years ago lived at Ossian and who was later superintendent of the Bluffton schools. His services are sought all over the world. When you buy a dollar’s worth of Red Cross stamps you do a double service, assisting the state and national association and aiding the local workers in starting a fund that may

Help the ladles wlr are giving their time and best effort to this work of helping others. Bu> now and buy liberally. Use the stamps and buy again. The local committer would like to sell fifty thousand stamps, or more, in this county and they can do it with the proper assis tance. Will you give it, or is the Christmas and Thanksgiving talk just idle gossip. If you mean half what you say about these great days you will do more than selfishly look after your own wants. William G. Shepherd, a war corm spondent for the United Press asso ciation, sent a story to the various pi pers which belong to that association two days ago, telling of the shortage of cotton in the war-stricken lands telling of how thousands of heroes an dying on the bloody battlefields with out an ounce of cotton to dress the ter rible wounds, and yet in this land o peace and plenty the cotton crop is s great there is no market. The stor; had the desired effect and from al over the United States now come me? sages that shipments are being mad' 'Decatur will show her public spirit h; joining in the work. The lists forth fund are now in circulation. Pi. your name down and give at lea' enough for a carton of cotton. It 1 believed that at the special wholesal price it can be purchased for thirty five or forty cents a pound. Yoi should send a pound of cotton at leas The Thanksgiving and Christmas spi: it should abound this year as neve before in half a ceutry. Give and givcheerfully that the world may be ha; pier.

BUYS INTEREST (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) He enjoys a large circle of friends and his connection the firm will add much strength to it.

Everybody knows Emerson and that he stands for the highest principles of integrity and efficiency. During the time that Mr. Beavcers has been in the furniture business, he has greatly increased his circle of acluaintances and it is a foregone conclusion that the new- firm of Beavers & Atz will continue to enjoy the best of patronage.

There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I certainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home.”— Mrs. Josie Ham, R.
