introduction to wliat was supposed to bo an easy and an idle life. It was a busy four jears, filled with fear, sometimes with remorse and at other * .times with temporary loans, unci there were many of the latter, because it takes something more substantial than hot air to pay bills. In 1913 the finance board borrowed $400,00(1 andon the last day of that year they paid oft these loans. The first half of 1914. $600,000 was borrowed, and on June 30 that was paid off. During the past six months $685,000 was borrowed, an.l today State Auditor Crittcnberger cleaned the slate, and now not even a temporary loan can stare the excellent state admlnstrhtion in the face Better still not an unpaid bill is on tlie desk at the state auditor's office All praises to the democrats, those unterrified democrats. May you live long and prosper always. In ending this chapter it is not necessary to state that Governor Ralston is at the head of the state board of finance. The governor is a firm believer of the old theory that expenses should not exceed one's income, and his influence will be used in this di rection with the finance of the state. If the incoming legislature will soft pedal on special appropriations, ti.e hard times around the state’s excheq uer will blossom into prosperous times, and the happiness of the present state board of finance will be complete. o DECATUR STORES TO CLOSE.

AN EDITORIAL By Henry ThomrJ. You know every fellow thinks he could be tlie best editor in the world. 1 have often wished that I could have the opportunity to tell the people what they ought to do on the great public questions and now that I have the chance, there doesn't seem to be so much to talk about or so many important things to dispose of. But any way, the year 1914, witli Its world’s war, its elections, it fires and accidents and its this and that and those, is passing. We hope the new year will be much more satisfactory. Now there are many things we could tell you that might make you'happier but we believe there is one tiling that we have a right to tell you about and that is your cigars. We have spent a life time in learning what little we know about that line and the past several years we have spent trying to manufacture a cigar that is right. We know we have it and we are told so by outsiders each day. Just the other evening a smoker said to us: “Heinie. your White Stag is a lot better cigar than it used to be, I have been smok ing them lately and I like them.” Thats what makes our work worth while. Any body likes to have their labors appreciated. Along with this we can’t help repeating to you that if you will all smoke Decatur cigars during 1915 it will mean a lot for your home townmore people employed, more money kept at home, more happiness and prosperity right here where you live. 1 believe the White Stag extra mild cigar is the world’s best 5c smoke. I believe it has a future and my big resolution for tomorrow is that I will try harder than ever to make it better and to build up my business. Won't you help to do it? 0 LUTHERAN SERVICES.
