Entered at the Postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The Haynes Automobile company at Kokomo has Just declared a IOS per cent dividend and as further evidence that times are so hard that a change of administration is needed, has announced that it will build a million dollar addition to the big plant to take care of the rapidly increasing business. Evidently they are not scared by the campaign cry that the good times are only temporary. “Three years ago,” says the New York World, “who could have imagined that a little company of earnest men and women would be in session at Indianapolis on the 3rd day of August, 1916, considering the betrayal of the progressive party by Theodore Roosevelt and debating the question of future action. In 1913 the leaders of this organization were informed by Mr. Roosevelt that ‘I will never abandon the principles to which we progressives have pledged ourselves, and I will never abandon the men and women who drew around me to battle for those principles.’ This was before he discovered the superlative virtues of Mr. Hughes and before Mr. Perkins closed his check book.” C. J. Voglewede read an interesting paper before the business men last evening, choosing as his subject, “Show Windows." He made some splendid remarks and called attention to the fact that the merchants’ show window is the “eye” tojiis store and the most important advertising space he can obtain, that since statistics show that half the merchants’ rent is paid for his show window’ he ought to use it. He suggested frequent changes of the displays, clean window cards and advised that when you allow bifls to be placed in your windows you should be careful to take them out immediately after the event thus advertised is over. It was a paper worth while and it is to be regretted that more Decatur business men did not hear it. That Chairman Will Hays of the republican state commitee is only joking when he talks about wanting Wilson defeated for re-election is evidenced by the following news item from his home town of Sullivan. Mr. Hays is feeling so prosperous that he is erecting a new business block, the bank in which he is interested has been so prosperous that it is putting up a fine new banking house and the factory for which he is the legal representative is erecting a new plant to take care of its increased business. If everything that Hays owned were not so prosperous he couid harden “*" ' . — ..... . m Remember that this is the last week of our sale, and you are missing something if you do not take advantage I of these prices.

ly afford to take the time to be chairman of the republican committee. As it Is all his intereats are making so much money under the Wilson ad ministration and democratic “free trade” that he can easily atford to devote the most of his time to playing politics. Os course, Hays don’t want Wilson defeated and his business ruined. And most republicans are just the same way. They will keep up appearances for the sake of the g. o. p. and we can pardon them for that. —New Castle Times. , 111 ■ — DOINGS IN SOCIETY | nnrttrrru’mmtrnMmtttttwwatnosttJStt’i WEfK.’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

CHAPLAIN WRITES < (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) certainly proved a groat blessing Other places aro now planning to take up the same Idea. That Is as it should be —the state should follow.' in most respects at least, in the steps of Decatur. Quite a number of our fellows have been somewhat sick, but there is not as much of it here as in towns of its , size. Sanitary conditions are good and improving, and the abundant out door exercise keeps the system free, and the wholesome food is well as- . similated. The spirits of the boys are buoyant with very few exceptions. There have been several boys come to my tent with greatly burdened hearts and I have counted it among my greatest privileges to attempt to lift some loads. You cannot find all of them who are bearing burdens, for many suffer silently and another does 1 not know, but some hearts are un covered or thinly covered and you 1 can get to them. “More things are wrought by pray er than this world dreams of. There ’ fore, let the voice rise like a fountain for me night and day.” “For so the . whole round earth is every way bound by gold chains about the feet o God.” FRED F. THORNBURG. Chaplain Third Indiana Infantry PAPER AFTER MURRAY. The Warsaw Union has started a red hot campaign against Charles D. Murray, formerly of this city, and who for two seasons has conducted the Ditton hotel on the south shore of Lake Wawasee. According to the Union, Murray has openly violated the liquor laws, and a Mrs. Robinson, who owned one of the show places about the lake, has closed her beauti- ’ ful cottage alongside the Ditton. left for California and offers her place for sale. To make sure that the reports were true a representative of the Union went to the lake Sunday and says | the sale of beer was public and with- ] out apparent fear of prosecution. 1 The Union is demanding that the authorities take immediate action. Murray was arrested last April for selling liquor without license and to minors and was fined SIOO and given a six | months penal farm sentence, the trip . to the farm being suspended, how-, ever, during good behavior. Must what action, if any, will be taken now I is not predicted by the Union. The! story also contains the statement that the paper has on file facts concerning a number of other places which have been permitted to violate the law, unmolested by the local authorities, but .Murray seems to have been selected as the “goat.” o ICE CREAM SOCIAL. There will be an ice cream social held at Honduras on next Saturday ' evening. August 12, for the benefit I of the Zion church. Special music. • Everybody welcome. ■ ——.
