Entered at the Poatofflce in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The proposed banquet tor the soldier boys has la-ell '■called off ’ l.y the promoters and we think they used excellent judgment in doing so. W still believe lh.it this is not Un- time for such celebrations. The officers training camp at In-1 dianapolis promises to be a success. Already the number asked 2600 from three states, have been secured but applications are still being taken a.- a large per eentage will perhaps not be able to pass. With garden space tnat can be < btained without rent, with free seed ing offered and other txjibnabs m t when and where necessary, there is no good reason why every ohe stnip' l • not have liis cellar well* tilled w»ih supplies for next winters use. 1 Some one remarked that perhaps this bad weather was an act of prq i denc% to punish this nation for ent ting the war. Weil it must be pelting it down in Germany under the same , rule, for as we rentemlier jt. tile w: r started over there some three years ago and the continuance of their sum marine warfare has brought the other nations in. — Some May weather, if you plea Lets hope that this streak will eid the season of everything except sunshine. Its discouraging to the gard >t maker and the farmer who is behig urged to make an extra effort agaln-d such odds, but thats a par t of the game. The more difficult it is to d> a tiling, tip- more credit you deserve for doing it. It is a question of whether or not the coal operators are not breaking their own backs by advancing ihprice of coal to extortionate price Already one traction system, usi ig mere than 100,000 tons of coal anna* ally has bought its own coal mine. Three other great concerns in Indiana ■will follow that exartipfe in the next few weeks. The state of Indiana, iting every year 125.000 tons will pro's ably have its own field before sixty days. The time may come when these and other big consumers would 1 c welcome customers and then the op rators will find that they killed the goose that held the golden egg.—Nev Castle Times.

A determined tight is inevitable on the food bill, introduced in tiie house by Chairman Lever, of the agriculture committee, giving President Wilson dictatorial jxiwers in directing the production, distribution and ! rices of food and all other neee- i ties of Ute during the war. It is even more .drastic than the one submitted to congress by Secretary of Agriculture Houston. Out of the food bill tight promises to arise two collateral contests around 'a prohibition bill to be introduced by Senator Gronna. providing that lib foodstuffs be used in the manufacture of alcohol and various measures directed at food speculation. "One thing that sure is going to come out of this food bill tight is some drastic law to prevent speculators from extorting higli prices from the public,” said Senator Kenyon, father of an anti-speculative bill, and member of the agriculture committee. said today. The conscription bill was before the house and senate army- conferees today. The principal differences age limit the draft and the ques lion of sending the Roosevelt division to France are expected to be ironed out within a few days, its repastage will not take long, and the congressional slate will then be practically clean.
