Entered at the postofilce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. There seems to be a general idea that the legislature will not pass many laws this session and that ought tc be some relief. The truth is that there are now so many laws on the Statute books that one never knows just where he is at without employing an attorney who has to read several volumes through before he is sure. Its a good resolution and we hope they keep it. The new year is starting off in such a way that every one who is fair bsHeves that it will be a prosperous 1915. At this early period of the year the real business man is getting readv for a season of building in each department that will bring good results before twelve months have passed. In this city the indications for many improvements can already be seen and we feel sure it will be the best season this city and county has known in many years. Do your share o f boosting. It all helps even though you may not think so. DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. W. C. T. U—Mrs. W. J. Myers. Friday. Christian Aid—Mrs. G. E. Mount.
