Entered at the Postofflco In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. An effort to build a Cleveland to St. Louis highway through Decatur is being made and this city cannot afford to pass it up. It pays, and in the years to come it will mean more to be on a main line of a good auto road than on a trunk line railway. It means business for many lines and it means inspiration in building better roads and in doing things. Decatur business men will assist in giving a corn show in Decatur during the month of January and they will do exerything possible to assist County Agent Hutchins in making it the deserved success. Take off your coats, boys, whether you be farmers or merchants or laborers, and let’s pull together. Decatur and Adams county against the world. It’s our home and it’s a mighty good one. Let’s say so, and speak it loud enough that it can be heard across a half dozen states. On next Monday the local sugar factory will send out their checks for more than a quarter million dollars to farmers who have grown beets. If this money all went to Adams county farmers it would mean much, but unfortunately the greater part of it will go to surrounding counties. The sugar plant is certainly some help to this community and one of these days when they are running the year round as a refinery, as we believe they will, it will be the big industry in this part of the state. The announcement of the sudden death of Richard M. Milburn caused sincere sorrow over the state of Indiana and the regret for the passing of an honest and efficient public ser-

1 vant that is genuine. Mr. Milburn as ! attorney general of Indiana, has made good in the few months he was permitted to serve. Splendidly fortified ’ with diplomas from three colleges, years of study and practice of law, Industrious to a fault, conscientious and careful, he was the ideal public man and his death at the noontime of a i brilliant career has caused sadness in every section of the Hoosier state. The state has lost a capable official and the democratic party one of its • most ardent supporters and effective workers. Two questions arise which demand satisfactory answers. What are the reasons for this new boom, and how long will it last? The reasons for this widespread revival are c’ ar and easily understood. First and foremost, a big harvest with profitable prices for the farmer has been secured. It has been variously estimated that the prod ucts of the soil this year will reach a sum approaching $10,500,000,000, or 5 per cent more than last year. Every intelligent business man appreciates the effects of good crops on business. The farmer invariably spends more freely and the local merchant must fill empty shelves; thus infusing new life into trade, industry and transportation in every direction, and particularly in the grain belt, where nature has been most prolific. Next to this paramount influence, comes inflationary monetary conditions. There is an extraordinary plethora of loanable funds in the United States, the conse quence of a long period of business depression. of a marvelous stock of gold, of the successful mobilization of our banking resources under the new banking system and of an immense accumulation of investment funds following prolonged suspension of new' enterprise.—Henry Clews.

How still this quiet cornfield Is tonight; By an intenser glow the evening falls, Bringing not darkness, but a deeper light, Among the stalks a partridge covey calls. The windows glitter on a distant hill; Beyond the hedge the sheep bells in the fold Stumble on sudden music and are still; The forlorn pine woods droop above the world. An endless quiet valley reaches out Past the blue hills into the evening sky; Over the stubble, cawing goes a rout Os rocks/ from harvest, flagging as they fly. —English Review.

(United Press Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Democratic floor leaders in both the senate and the house are to be sidetracked by the administration, it was learned today, in forcing through the national defense program. Senator Kern, leader in the senate. Senator Kern, leader Kitchin, house leader, wJil not have charge of the preparedness legislation. Secretary Garrison has already reached an agreement with Chairman Hay of the house military committee, for Hay to take charge of the army bill in the house. Chairman Padgett, of the house naval committee, will take care of the naval program. In the senate, Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee will act. • Kitchin has disqualified himself so far as the defense hill is concerned, because of his refusal to support the administration naval program. Senator Kern will yield to Chamberlain because it js the latter’s own field. Kern is also regarded as lukewarm toward the program, having given statements in Indiana opposing a big program be’ore he recently announced he was so? it. democrat Want Ads Pay. •

BRYAN READ HIS BIBLE. (United Piess Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —W. J. Bryan tok his Bible* in hand today and administered a rebuking testimonial to President Wilson and former President Roosevelt. He said he had read the quotation from Ezekiel referred to by President Wilson In support of the preparedness program. Bryan added: ‘‘lt is not surprising that Mr. Roosevelt should quote from the Old Testament rather than the New, because he would class Christ with the mollycoddles, but why should the president, a Presbyterian elder, pass over the new gospel in which love is the chief cornerstone, and build his defense upon a passage of the Old Testament Written at a time when the children of Israel were surrounded by enemies?" Bryan added that the president said iin New York that we are not threatened from any quarter. Bryan said all colors looked red to Mr. Roosevelt. o Premium soda crackers are always fresh and crispy.
