THE TIMES ARE GOOD: — The Cincinnati Enquirer, an antiWilson paper, has the following to say in an editorial printed in Sunday’s paper: “To place before The Enquirer readers the full measure of the business prosperity now existing throughout the United States would be an impossibility even if every column of this issue were used to print the details. “It is only by grouping the activities that even a partial exhibit of the great activities now manifest can be approximated. “In iron, steel, coke, coal, copper, zinc and lead lines of production and manufacturing all records are being broken in outputs in values and in magnitude of transactions all along the lines from primary producers to ultimate consumers. “There is no hesitation or slackening in the flow of orders, but. upon the contrary, they are becoming more numerous, greater in quantities desired and more urgent with every day that passes by. “Labor in many branches of these activities is sow difficult to obtain, and it is fully aparent that never in the history of the country was the skilled and unskilled labor so fully employed as it is at this very time. “Textiles, wool, cotton, hemp, jute, linen, silk, are in demand from the retailer to the manufacturer, and in this line of business as indeed in those of all manufactured commodities and in those of materials used nimanufacture there are no reserves, and actual demand is keeping up a steady stream from the origin to the consumer. “In all classes of electrical working, in every branch of motor vehicle manufacture or assembling, in potteries, glass houses, clay working establishments, in rubber factories, there is maximum business as compared with any prior year. “Without in any manner overlook-

ing the defects and shortcomings of the present tariff law The Enquirer deems it only the proper thing to do to point out to those who for political purposes study business conditions that in this year 1915 there are far better and more profitable business conditions existing in this countryunder a democratic national administration than were found in any year from 19(17 to 1913 under republican natinoal administrations. If a change in national administration is to make better times for the people of the United States than they now have the republican party must have an admirable business platform to present to the country, and will have to do far better than it has ever done i it can give the people a prosperity surpasing that now rrcv'lent. 9 “The shortage of cars upon all transportation lines at on< and the sam etime tells the story of unusual railway earnings, greater dividends for stockholders, larger orders for betterments and equipments by tie railway companies, and makes an ex hibit of business growth that is truly wonderful in its value and extent.” Sugar is sugar and it doesn't make any difference whether is comes from cane, beets, carrots or anything else. It’s still sugar and that's all that can be said about it Many people have a prejudice aganist beet sugar and it’s a foolish prejudice that was bought and paid for by the business competitors of the beet industry. It has be.en proven again and again that beet sugar is as good as cane sugar for making candy, for preserving, for any purpose that sugar is used. We have in Decatur the only sugar factory in the state of Indiana. We are proud of that fact and hundreds of people come here each week during the cam paign to watch the marvelous manufacturing process that converts a dirty old beet into the purest of pure white granulated sugar. Then let's boost it. From no place in the world can you secure better sugar than that made here. It’s of no particular interest to the local plant whether you use their product or not. They can sell it faster than they make it, and they have not asked for this mention, but it's the proper spirit The best sugar in the world is made in Decatur. SAY SO, AND USE IT. Ask for it and tell everybody else to do it. It's the spirit of home boosting that we must have to win. K. OF C. NOTICE Meeting and installation of office-s tonight. Let there be a good attendance to greet the new District Deputy. A lunch and smoker will follow the installation. G. K.

Folks need a lot of loving in the morning; The day is all before, with cares beset — The cares we know’, and they that give no warning; For love is God's own antidote for ” fret. Folks need a heap of loving at the noontime — In the battle lull, the moment snatched from strife — Halfway between the waking and the croontime. While the bickering and worrymeat are rife. Folks hunger so for loving at the nighttime, When wearily they take them home to rest — At slumber-song and turning-out-the-light time— Os all the times for loving, that’s the best! Folks want a lot of loving every min ute — The sympathy of others and their smile! Till life’s end. from the moment they begin it. Folks need a lot of loving all the while. —Strickland Gillilan.

Under the headings they pasted pictures cut from magazines. These were later presented to the guest of honor, and will be pretty little mementoes.
