Entered at the PostotUce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. One fourth of those who signed tinvolunteer muster roll In the lo al company refused to take the examination. These men thus plate themselves in a bad plight ami prove the necessity for a select conscription law. Under such a law there will be no “slut kai ds.” The local republican organization seem to favor a volunteer system is against selective oonscription. Ju.t why no one seems to know hut there are those who suspicion that they are trying to play a little polities at this very serious time, a proceedure that will eventually prove a boomerang to those who thus indulge. A food panic is predicted for ni »t winter and its up to you to till iht lnder during the summer days now reproaching. This nation has undertaken to feed the war stricken world and its a rather large job even 1. r this fertile and resourceful nation. We can do it hut we must start right notv. Plant potatoes and corn, plant onions and turnips, plant anything that v m can store for nexi winter If you have an over supply you can easily dispose of the part you may not need.

We are proud of the sixty five Adams county boys who last nigit stood “uncovered” In the shadow of the soldiers monument and swore allegiance to the American flag, thus of- * sering themselves to their country. Though we believe that a registration law is liest for the nation, we arc not • unmindful of the fact that the volunteer has been toe protector of this great land for more than a century. It was the voluntt ■■ r who spilled Ills blood at Lexington anl left his to o prints on the frozen fields of Valley Forge. It wa; the volunteer who met . the British In ISI2, who fought bark the Mexicans in '4r> and who sav l the Union in the dark days of the civil war. To the volunteer we shall ever look to stop invasion and to protect the rights of the weak and oppressed. Major Davis paid a splendid tribute to "our boys" last night and as they marched with firm step and straight shoulders and stood wnh clear eye and set lip.;, we felt that tinsefety of this great land after all depends on these brave and sturdy young men who are anxious and refidy to fight in defense of the principles of humanity.. The Decatur company is a i lean hunch of young men and we know they will do their duty,
