Indiana, as eecond-clase matter. The traction power plant is to be j shut down anil the interurban will! secure their power from the Fort Wayne power house. The poles and wires are now being erected for that purpose and the change will be made the first of the year. This'will probably relieve several men and from the view of the pessimist is another stroke of ill luck. Now it occurs to us that the optimistic way of looking at this would be that here is another good building in which we can locate a live industry, a factory that will employ many times as many people as the traction power house did. Why not fill this splendid building up with a live factory that will employ men. that will manufacture goods to be sold out of the county, thus bringing additional cash here? There are the things that really count and we can do it if we will. Let’s fill the empty buildings at once and make Decatur the best town in the world. Every church in Decatur was well filled yesterday at both morning and evening services, the occasion being “Go to church Sunday.” The local ministers had boosted the event and spent considerable money in advertising for the day. We believe every person who attended the services were well repaid for doing so, that they came away better prepared for • the battle of life, that they heard some truths that many had forgotten, that they really felt better for having attended church. You ought to go again and you ought to go without so much urging, it is a duty you owe to yourself. As one pastor said in his sermon yesterday, every man should work, and work as hard as he can. It is right that we should make our "five pieces of money earn another five,” but it what we make or gain in this world is all there is to it, then surely it is not worth the fight. The churches should be filled every Sunday, and if they are for the next year it is safe to say the community will be better in every way. While the W.ilsonites are throwing bouquets at each other and congratulating those who contributed specially to the great people’s victory of November 7, there is one man who should not be forgotten. His name is Vance McCormick, chairman of the democratic national committee. By all Mr. McCormick was the backbone-center and the soul-center r of the democratic campaign. He appears to have oiganized and directed it with masterly skill and intelligence and thrown into it an enthusiasm that Mens and Boys warm clothing 'at right prices. * THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

quickened the democratic pulse and l strengthened democratic„ effort wherever the fight was hottest. But bylcr than all this was hit giveiup the ship spirit. He stuck to his ijuns at every stage of the campaign, [and even in the dark hours of Tuesday nh it b.iughod the »epuhlican claims to scorn, and raised the spirits of the disconsolate democrats from I the freezing point of the political meri' liry to the Isiiliug point of jubilant hope. Something of the old Andrew Jackson stuff is In this indomlnatable democrat. Those who surrendered too early, owe him a debt of gratitude for rallying us in a moment of panic. If he had not maintained so resolute I a,front, who knows what might have happened? But he was not a man to "monkey with,” at 1 v soon "wiped our weeping eyes" end began to howl with juy. We move a nutio; ..I vote of thanks to the intrepid and unterrified gentleman of the Scotch-Ire h name. He h.up proved himself a fighter to the last ditch and a long wey the other side of it. —Anderson Herald. I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | JSKCr.SCCCOSICSMSBCZSMEi’ WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday.

PRODUCE MORE CREAM. Never in the history of dairying have the farmers received as much for butterfat as they have in the year 1916. The agricultural and experiment stations have advised all farmers to produce cream. First, figuring the high price for butterfat; second. the kkimmed milk which is worth forty cents a hundred for feeding purposes; third, the time saved of (k-livering the cream, when convenient to the farmer. These throe items are the only few advantages in selling cream instead of milk. These facts should induce every farmer in the territories of Adams county to produce and sell more cream to the Martin-Klepper Comyany, Decatur. Ind., which always pays the highest market prices and who guarantee all tests to be correct. MARTIN-KLEPPER COMPANY. n PUBLIC SALE.

In spite of the best care one takes of oneself, any part of the human machine is liable to become out of order, fihe most important organs are the stomach, heart and kidneys. The kidneys are the scavengers ami they work day and night in separating the poisons from the blood Their signals of distress are easily recognized and include such symptoms of backache, depressions, drowsiness. irritability, headaches, dizziness. rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout. The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state is to drink plenty of pure water and ob tain a small amount of Anuric, which is inexpensive and should be taken before meals.
