Everybody should be glad to invest a quarter, fifty cents a dollar or two in this effort to make the children happier. Let’s finish this job during the next week. The Clover Leaf is to spend a million dollars for improvements and here’s hoping that they spend at least a part of it in Decatur. We still believe they could spend most of it here by moving the division and increase their earnings, besides helping us out wonderfully. Let’s hope. This would be a dandy good time to go out and get a factory for Decatur. It would keep our laboring men here instead of making them move to other cities, it would help the merchant, it would make us a better market. We have all the natural advantages, the railroad facilities, and we ought to be going forward this year when all the other cities in the middle wes tare doing so. Shall we? Hardly anything appears to have been as satisfactory as the president's recent note to Germany. The German papers are satisfied with it, the French papers are satisfied with it, and the English papers are satsisfied with it. In fact, most of the dissatisfaction expressed in regard to it has been in this country from elements that have adopted a regular policy of dissatisfaction. —Indianapolis News. In a poll of republican, progressive and independent editors in Illinois, Indiana. lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, taken by the Chicago Tribune, seventeen republican editors favored the nomination of Wilson by the republicans, an unheard-of, an unprecedented showing, which goes a long ways in proving the strength of the president Thousands of voters will think the same way when election day comes. In the 1914 campaign, hoping to win the congressional elections, the Mann-Smoot-Gallinger type of narrow republican politicians proclaimed from every political housetop the bold assertion that the business depression then upon the country had nothing to do with the European war, but was

Probably a hundred persons were there. The program opened with a combination solo, vocal and whistling, by the Misses Mabell and Maude Springer. Joe Palmer proved a happy diversion with his cute monologues. Mrs. Morris Hayes pleased by giving an excellent reading. Mrs. Ruby Baker proved conclusively that woman has some rights, and her work, replete with well studied detail, was the cause of much merriment. She was recalled frequently. The degree drill staff gave an exposition of fancy drill work under the direction of Russell Acker. Twenty minutes of work without an error was the record of the twenty members of the team.

“SPEED SQUINT” KNOWN WORLD OVER ' 7 • *' I 5- • r f ; | ■? • ■ ’ - - -- • ■ ■

LOUIS CHEVROLET came to the United States in 1908 to ride as mechanician with Victor Hemery. Chevrolet stayed. And today his is a name that is known almost as well as that of Henry Ford or John N. Willys, for he is not only a race driver of unusual ability and courage, but his engineering genius has been immortalized in a car bearing his name. “It’s his eyes” Bill Pickens, King of the Barnstorming impressarios used to sav. Chevrolet drove for Bill during the lurid Buick racing days, and it was Chevrolet’s eyes that he guarded and cherished their safety over all other parts of his anatomy. Chevrolet wears goggles but not on his eyes. They only serve to hold his cap tightlv on his head. His “Speed squint” is famed the world over and is expected to serve him W’ell in the Sixth International Sweepstakes race for the 300-mile distance

Speedway on May 30. In this one, Chevrolet will drive a Frontenac, a car of his own creation, about which little or nothing is known. It will be more than a dark horse in the Indianapolis event, for everyone who knows Chevrolet knows to fear him as a racing competitor. His experience is as varied as it is spectacular, and he is no stranger to accidents.

“Something unusually drastic and effective will have to be done to the osteopaths if they continue to cure people after the regular physicians have given them up. ror — — sense there could be a moderate fine; if the offense is repeated, the tine could be doubled and a term of imprisonment added. The license could also be taken away and the wicked. reprehensible osteopath would thus not be permitted to practice any more, for it is quite obvious that if the osteopaths continue to cure people, the regular medical profession. which now controls the laws and the liberties of the majority, might eventually have to go out of business. (Here follows the description of the case of a boy at Havana. 111., injured at play, from which complete paralysis resulted). “Unfortunately for the regular medical profession, Dr. George M. Laughlin, a wicked osteopath, got his hands on young Alfred and cured him almost immediately. The boy is now able to walk as well as ever.
