Entered at the Postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The Decatur Democrat very wisely is urging the creation of public parks or recreation places for that city. Happy is the community which provides for parks early in its growth and which makes sure those parks will be permanent.—lndianapolis Times. Other cities and counties in this section of the state are planning horse shows for this winter. Why not one In Decatur? We defy any county in the middle west to produce horses or other stock that will compare with those which come from old Adams. Lets go them one better and give a real stock show that will make them all take off their hats. We believe it would be a good thing for the farmer, the business man and a mighty enjoyable week. The opposition has but little to say over the fact that Mayor Bell was absolutely vindicated in the farce trial which has just closed with his acquittal. They admit that Judge Eichhorn was impartial, that the trial was fair, that the jury was composed of nine men politically opposed to Mayor Bell, and yet he was acquitted. Why not admit that the whole thing was a mistake and should never have started? It looks like dirty politics that will “kick back” for those who tried to "put it over.” , We mentioned yesterday that you ought to use Decatur made goods when ever you can. We call your attention to it again today because we don't think you ought to forget it right away. Its not what you do one day but each day of each year that helps to build a community. If every body in this county would patronize home industries and home stores for ten years, it would make this the best county in the universe. That would help you more than the imaginary few pennies you save. Won’t you try it. The members of the Ladies’ Improvement society in Decatur have helped in numerous ways since their organization to beautify the old home town. They nave planted flowers here and there, made the waterworks park attractive, arranged several tennis courts and helped in other ways for which they deserve much credit. Do you appreciate their work and the fact that it is done that you may live

in a better, brighter and prettier city? If you do you should answer the request to give bulbs and shrubs at this time of the year when you are transplanting. Very promptly President Wilson has, through his secretary, Mr. Tumulty, issued a denial that he has ever discussed the vice presidency, thus disposing of another “hatch-up” by those who would delight in a break in the democratic ranks. Those opposed to the administration seem to be hardpressed for something on which to build. They realize that the past two years have been filled with questions of grave importance, each of which has been worked out to the best advantage for all the people. Failing in being able to pick a flaw In the real affairs, those opposed politically to the administration arc now seeking to cause a break by circulating such stories as that recently given out that Mr. Wilson opposing the renomination of Thomas R. Marshall. It’s too thin for the American people to si allow. g DOINGS IN SOCIETY I WEEK'S CLUB CALENDAR. Friday. S. S. Class Meeting—Mrs. Harvey Smith. U. B. Aid—Mrs. lona Pennington.
