Entered at the Postofflce In Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Several people have telephoned us that they are in hearty accord with the effort of those who are, anxious to have Decatur one of the cities on the route of the Cleveland to St. Louis highway. We should send a number of representatives /to the Marion meeting on December 1. Let's have a dozen automobiles t filled with boosters and show them we want what we want. The Portland Sun. a live daily newspaper that prints it all every day and prints it in a very attractive and readable manner, is moving into their own building this week, a handsome structure arranged to house a printing office such as that required to print the Sun. We are glad to learn of their success, and wish them a happy and prosperous existence in the new location. More power to you. The federal reserve banking system has been in operation precisely one year, and almost to a unit the financial authorities of the country agree that it has demonstrated its usefulness and its desirability. The system is not entirely perfect, and some minor changes have been suggested, but as a whole it has been of tremendous benefit to the country. It has proven its worth as a stabilizer, widened the avenues of business and operated as an assurance against financial alarm and the bad results that inevitably come with it. The federal reserve banking ‘system jpalled the doom of the money panic. It has gone, never to return.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Three years, two years, one year ago republican papers throughout the country were expatiating upon the alleged “hard times.” charging such conditions against President Witam and the democratic policies and the propagada of pessimism showed the country headed toward destruction and- the people toward staivation. Many great business institutions took the cue and slowed their operations with the idea that old worn-out political scares, fostered by the non-pro-gressive elements in other days, would effectually block the wheels and bring disaster to a movement forward that was inexorable as the grinding of the gods. The prosperity of 1915 has sounded the death of republican hopes. —Marion Leader-Tribune. This is Sweater Coat and heavy Underwear weather Our line of.

I LANDS BASS WITH SAFETY PIN Boy Bring* in Thrae Three-Pounder* With Which to Provo Hl* Story. * -- Little Arne Olson, cowherd in Itasca park, who catches big black bass with such a seemingly impossible device as the much-maligned safety pin, may have revealed a mechanical principle that will revolutionize the gentle art of angling. Arne does catch bass with safety pins. This fact is vouched for by William T. Cox, state forester, who heard the tale direct from the forest service men in Itasca park, an exchange states. One evening Arne brought home three fine bass weighing in the neighborhood of three pounds each. To the repeated demands ,to explain how he had made the capture he said that he had caught them with a safety pin. Everybody laughed. Ho explained that when he clambered out over the lake on a fallen tree his sporting blood was fired by the sight of a number of big bass lolling in the shade. He had a piece of fishing line in his pocket, but no hooks or bait. Then there came an inspiration. Plucking a safety pin from his trousers, he fastened it to the line. The tail of a crawfish made a presentable bait. Three times he heaved the 1 improvised lure into the semidarkness of the pool and three times he brought out a bass. Not one got away. Arne is quite sure that the tricky pin snapped itself shut when a bass struck, but each one was securely hooked, and all the fisherfolk can account for the lad’s success in no other way. THROWS ITS LIGHT AFAR Searchlight Placed on Collapsible Tower Worked by Man 100 Yards Away. The searchlights now used at the front are not only extremely powerful but they are mounted on swift motor cars, so that they can be moved |o any desired point at night as quickly as possible, Pearson's Weekly says. These searchlights, too, are mounted on portable collapsible towers which can bo run up a height of 30 feet or so very quickly. The light is, as a rule, worked by an observer who is at least a hundred yards away from it, so that he is pretty safe from being hit by the rain of shells which are always turned on to these lights by the enemy. The towers are run up by means of compressed air carried in cylinders on motor cars, which also carry the electrical apparatus for working the light. All the movements, vertical as well as horizontal, are controlled by a long cable. These searchlights, which are much more powerful than those used in any other war, will pick up a Zeppelin, no matter what height it has risen to. They carry, indeed, to a distance of six miles, though for picking out soldiers the nearer the better, not only because they show them up more clearly, but because the light dazzles the eyes and throws the men into confusion. More Rabies. It is a real pleasure to be able to call attention to a case of so-called “rabies” which failed to scare one sensible man. The kennel master of the Animal Rescue league found two policemen waiting for a “mad dog” to run out of a store on Dudley street and bo shot. Mr. Rowlinson, going in fearlessly, discovered a dog to whom some fool had given some sticky candy. The dog, frightened when he found his jaws stuck together, had a fit, and when found was too weak to walk. But for the arrival of Mr. Rowlinson there would have been more scareheads like “Epidemic of Rabies Spreads to Boston.’’ Cowardice among men is responsible for most of the "rabies” stories, and mistreatment of dogs for a good deal of the remainder.—Boston Globe. Joffre and Napoleon. A saying of General Joffre's which has never been given tho publicity it deserves comes from a correspondent who vouches for its accuracy. It illustrates charmingly the modesty of the man who, it is claimed, saved France. The general was explaining to a favored American visitor the position of the French army intrenchments on the plain beneath the hill where they stood, and he traced the ccftirse of the German lines beyond. “It’s a big job,” said the visitor. “But I guess even Napoleon, if he had had all your troops to fight with here, would have had to dig himself In just the same.” “Ah,” said Joffre, slowly stroking his chin. “Napoleon! No. I think Napoleon would have thought of something!”—Manchester Guardian. i Happening That I* Rare. A grotto fungus, extremely rare, and described as a stalk about an inch in I diameter which supported a wax-like | collar of lacework, above which was a bright green ball with* a mouthlike orifice at the top, was found growing in a Brockport (N. Y.) dooryard the other day. So far as is known this is a tropical growth, transplanted by insects. A bunch of bananas may have been the medium. The Climax. “I see where a seedless tomato has been grown in California.” "Yes, but the gastronomic millennium will never arrive until they evolve the boneless shad!” ,
