Entered at the Postofflce in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. This weather ought to put the “pep” into you. It's just about right for good health, good crops and good business. What more do you want, any way? The sensational testimony promised by Prosecutor Rucker in his introductory speech to the jury in the Beil trial is not developing very rapidly. One witness by whose testimony the state expected to prove tiiat Bell and Taggart had “got down on their knees" to persuade a change or inspectors said Bell, who did most of the talking, told him that all they wanted was “fair inspectors,” and Rucker didn't like it. The croaker about poor business has been covered up, lost and forgotten in the rush for business. With the bank vaults filled with gold, with every factory and railroad running full force and overtime, with this nation as world bankers, it’s up to you to do business and if you don’t do it, it’s your fault and not the other fellow's. No one ever made a dollar sitting around and grunting about the times. While he is doing that the live one is getting rich off the business the “tired one” fails to see. Once more the horse has been doomed to go. Edison has invented a storage battery for delivery wagons, and the announcement is made that before long there will not be athing in the world for the horse to do. You have heard something just like that before on more than one occasion and yet the noble animal is on I duty everywhere and in as great numbers as he was before Mr. Edison began to revolutionize things in the industrial world, and the storage battery that has just been perfected is not going to relegate the horse to the rear or make him useless in the world. It will be a long time before the trotters and pacers will lose their drawing powers on race courses, and there will always be fellows; who are interested in the gallopers. On the farm and in the cities then ■ will be places to fill that the storage- battery and the tractor cannot fill, and the noble horse will be called upon in the future just as he has been in tine past. And in times of war, too, the horse is indespensable, as has been d'xrmonstarted time and again in the bi.? fuss over the ocean during the past four-

Dornseif of northwest of the city, was here today, shopping. In the October American Magazine a contributor writing under the title “Growing Young at Fifty,” tells how, ' by following a few simple rules, he recovered his health in the late forties and how at fifty he finds himself better and stronger than ever. In the course of this article he quotes a physician as commenting, as follows, on a man's heart at the age of foryfive; “You must remember that at the forty-ninth year at the latest, the heart loses part of its elasticity, just as does the eye; and when men go on working, smoking, drinking, exercising, as if they were forty, disaster is sure to follow. That's what you did. and you very nearly paid the penalty.”

ITEMS FROM BUSY MONROE. “Det there be light.”—This pre-his-toric sentence has for many moons been the slogan of Monroe's progressive element, and at last it seems certain that, we are to be blessed with a plentiful supply of that light in ■‘Dottles hung up on a string.” Our honorable “city dads” have awarded the contract to a Fort Wayne electrical construction company, which promises to put the line from Decatur in here on the double-quick. So, if this company gets real busy, it will not be long until Monroe will let her light shine and in truth be one of the bright spots of the earth. Why should our school not be the best in the country? Surely, we have the teachers and the pupils. But that alone is not all. They need encouragement and help in many ways. They need equipment to work .with. Let’s see that they have everything they need and so help Monroe schools in the attainment of success. Our ever jn ogi essivo barber. C. E.

Moser and company of Berne. We will miss the rumble of the old Buick. Rev. John Philip and wife have returned home after an absence of many weeks. It will be remembered that several weeks ago he became afflicted with a serious illness and was forced to undergo an operation. Since then he has been convalescing at his old home in Kentucky. His many friends are glad that he is so much improved in health ad able to preach lor us again. Glen Glancy and wife left this morning on a vacation trip. They will visit friends at Gary, Chicago, Indianapolis and other places before they return home.
