Entered at the Postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Some of'the representatives talked wet and voted dry and some tallied dry and voted wet. evidently trying to vote as they believed a majority of their constituents would demand. ’ In doing so they no doubt obeyed their conscience and the politicians as well. You know we rather believe the people like these auto days. They are occasions for the gathering* of friends and neighbors from all over the county. the business men make special ettorts to greet the visitors and all in all they are big days with which any city could well be satisfied. Charles W Yager, former coumv treasurer and well known citizen, has announc ed that he will Ire a candidate for maypr. subject to the decision of the democratic- voters at "Ihe coming primary. Charles N. Christen the present mayor is a candidate for reelection. It promises to be a lively contest between two of the best men in town and will add interest to th? city campaign. Indications just now are that the primary in all the cities of Indiana xcepting Indianpaolis will be postpoui’d by an act of the legislature until May, the bill having been dug up again after it had been recommended for indefinite postponement. The boys down there don’t seem to know just what they do want and we would ,j<lvire the candidates to keep on kee.'ing busy until they decide “for sartin. Local automobile dealers are int r- "* ested in the passage of house bill 213 for an act to prohibit the concealing of automobiles or motor vehicles by removing, defacing or covering ’be seriel numbers of • distinguishing marks, making such an act. a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. It is believed the law would diminish the theft of cars for it would make every buyer of a second hand car use greater care. The proposed law looks good and sentiment here is that our representatives ought to support it. According to reports generally ciliated a “slicker" recently unload'd about $20,000 worth of stock in a proposed New York to Chicago airship mail line to the good people of Berne and then mysteriously dropped out of sight. Old man Barnum was about right when he said a "sucker" is born every minute. Yet we can’t * help wondering how any body could put i » DO NOT FAIL TO ATTEND OUR SALE ON SATURDAY AUTO DAY 1 1 I s THE MYERS-DAILEY i COMPANY

’ one over like this and why the fellow ' who can do it cuuld’nt make mote * money in legitimate lint*, it take* ability to sell good stuck and we ' should imagine more ability to u.’ll t worthless stock in some thing that does’nt exist and likely never will. Special services will begin tumor- ( row' in several of the local churches ) and will continue for two weeks or ’ more. We believe these churches i should be filled with people each seri vice. In the busy hustle for a liv’.ig we neglect too mucn our duty to the > church. It is a good time to remma- , bar the expression of Charles Stellie: I "I believe in the church. It is the I most powerful institution in the world. It isn’t perfect be< au * it is made up ’ of ordinary mortals, like myself. But, however dark the age, it b is always been the whitest light in history. 1 I believe In the church because it Is made up of those who are banded together for the purpose of organically trying to bring more cheer and gladness to thousand of burdened people Political Announcements FOR MAYOR.
