Remember the Adair meeting at the court house in this city on the evening of March 3. It should be a political meeting of importance and attended by every voter of the county. You wgi hear the issues of an important campaign discussed by one of the ablest men of the nation and you should be there. Twenty-seven counties in Indiana have fixed the dates for their centennial celebration and arranged for the state exhibit. It's time we did it in Adams county and say, you might as well do it for we are determined not to let up until you do. This splendid county can’t afford to omit this duty and they can’t afford to have anything but the best celebration in the whole “dura” state. A community that remains small usually does so because it’s made up of small people. Let’s be big.

We have a lot more use for the fault fixer than we have for the fault finder and we believe the public has. We have never yet found a continual "knocker” who was popular and we don’t believe we ever will. The easiest thing in the world is to sit around looking tor the fellow in office or a position 6f public trust to make some mistake and then exaggerate and hammer at that one mistake until the public thinks the official or public man is a crook. Oftentimes he is much squaier than the fellow who does the yelping. Boost a little. If you like Decatur and Adams county say so once in a while. If you don’t* look tip another location at once and be sure to find a perfect one. Tomcrnow is a holiday, not a national holiday but just a day that is being observed in every state in this natior a new idea—lTS NATIONAL PAY UP DAY, fixed by a national association of business men as the day when every bcdy squares up with every body else. You know a fellow goes along owing the other fellow and letting “Jones do the walking” and the poor collector sometimes has to suffer as a result. We ought to pay and this day being celebrated every where should be likewise observed in Decatur, it jOl pay the other fellow can pay. If yon paj the merchant can buy better l.ec-jiue he can pay cash. If you pay you will be happier and will have more in the • nd. The National Association of Manufacturers, by its president,.

proval on President Wilson’s recommendation for a tariff commission to take tariff out of polities. ‘For years,” Colonel Pape says, “the National Association lias been endeavoring to have a tariff commission appointed so that the subject of tariff making might, be put on something like a scientific basis." “And,” he continues, 'the president's acceptance of the principle will be received with satisfaction by the country at large and is particularly grat'fying to the National Asociation of Manufacturers, which by formal resolutions and through the individual efforts of its membership, embracing all shades of political opinion, has urged that the

None of us can successfully bear analysis oi each and every characteristic and action. It is not given to any human being to be perfect. Our greatest happiness in our relation; with out fellow beings is to accept them for their best —and there is best in all—and in their largest se- so. If here and there a flaw shewit is just as likely to wove not that the whole is neeecaarily bad but that the rest may be good. "I take folks by and far,” said the old country woman; and she was right. To take any one of us too closely and resent the little spots that we discover is simply in the long run —and sometimes it is the short run —to be without friends. “Live, and let live” js tho most difficult of all life’s lessons to live by; but there i.i hardly another lesson that means so much happiness to the liver.- —Ladies’ Home Journal.

‘‘SWAT RABBIT,” NEW SLOGAN They're Vermin, Not Game, English Timber Owners Are Now Being Told. To encourage the growing of more timber In England by organizing all resources of labor, a committee lias been appointed by the government under the chairmanship of Frauds Ac'and, the London Chronicle states. Lord Sclborne, minister for agriculture, drew attention to this step at an exhibition of English timber organized by the English Forestry association at the Surveyors' institution, Westchester. He said that the committee was appealing to land owners and land agents to let them see their woods and make proposals for the purchase of timber. The committee appealed to the owners to give what help they possibly could in the felling, conversion and hauling of the timber. If an English landowner would conOder that rabbits are not game but vermin, as they certainly are, and go In for the cultivation of timber, it would be to his great benefit, the committee said. The wa? has created a big demand for timber, boards and scantling, especially the kind used in the erection of huts. During the last twelve months more pit wood has found its way to the English coal field than has been the case for the last twenty years. Some of the men present said that while they would do all that was possible to give aid to'the government in this direction, they were disinclined to feather the nests of the timber dealers.

ANXIOUS ABOUT HIS HEALTH Guest at St. Louis Hotel, Not Satisfied. Made a Somewhat Humorous Request. Fred Thompson, night clerk at the Laclede hotel, St. Louis, is asking his friends to believe this one: "About eight o’clock the other night,” Thompson says, “a tall, rangy ruralite entered the lobby of the hotel and approached the desk. After I had fixed him up with a room he asked me if I would take care of some money for him. I told him I would be glad to put it in the safe. He fished down in his trousers pocket and produced a $2 bill. “ ‘Just put that away,’ he said, ‘I am .going out for a little while and I don't want to take any chances with these city slickers.’ "I kept my face straight and assured him it would be safe on his return. He started to leave and then turned around and asked me how late we kept open. “ ’Oh, I’ll be here when you get back,’ I told him. “ ‘Well, I don’t know,' he replied. I calculate I’ll be pretty late. Most ten o’clock, likely.’ “I assured him I would be on deck, but he did not seem satisfied. Alter pondering a few moments he asked: ‘“Could I see Mr. Laclede?’ “That had me going for a few minutes. but when I recovered I told him Mr. Laclede had gone to bed." Pierre Laclede, the founder of St. Louis, for whom tho hotel was named, died in 1778. Jap Statesman of Prominence. Governor Hattori of Hyogo prefecture, who was among those awarded honors at the coronation of the emperor of Japan, has held his post since 1900, a unique distinction among his gubernatorial confreres. The happy relations which he enjoys with all official and private classes in Hyogo prefecture have caused him to repeatedly ' decline offers of promotion, by which he might have held a seat in the cabinet and exercised diplomatic abilities in higher and more stormy spheres. He was born in 1851 and is a graduate of an American college, Rutgers, from which he received the degree in the ’7os of bachelor of commerce. He was nominated a member of the house of peers in 1903.

Signs of Paratyphoid. Paratyphoid has recently come to the front as a disease. Among the allied troops in France there have been m,ore than 1,200 cases, with a case mortality of 1.5 per cent. The London Lancet says it is net always possible to distinguish it from typhoid, but in general it is a milder disease with shorter duration and often appears as a sudden onset with shivering, abdominal pain and aching»limbs, without abdominal distention and when there is an eruption this is of large ami palpable spots. Abnormally slow heart action is characteristic. The mosquito is suspected as tho means ot transmission from patient to patient, but this is still in doubt. Much Beef Goes to Waste. Although various estimates place the number of cattle in Paraguay all the way from one to four million head, the cattle industry, with untold possibilities, ic scarcely out of the stage when the animals arc slaughtered for their hides alone. While all the world Is clamoring for meat, cattle tn Paraguay sell for but little more than what their skins will bring. Inexperienced.

Ipf .gg! Mogul 8-18 Kerosene -Burcmg Tractor MOGUL 8-16 is the only tractor of its size that we know of that works on low-grade kerosene. That gives it two big advantages over other tractors. Mogul 8-16 burns any oil that can be burned in an engine. Since Son can always get naphtha, benzine, motor spirits, kerosene, ot some 6f the low-grade distillates a oil are sure of a plentiful supply o f fiif'l at 'ill times* That’s one advantage* 1 The other is that kerosene and the other oilff cost less and, in all nrobabU ty a ways will cost less than gasoline. You know the differ, enceln pace now, and you can easily figure the saving m burning lowgrade oil. That’s another advantage. Kerosene is not explosive. Gasoline is. Gasoline requires a separate tank.
