Entered at the postoffice In Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Plenty of rain and some to spare but at that the gardens and the crops look fairly good and indications are that the harvest will be rich in 'returns. By the way its just the time for turnips, onions and other garden stuff for winter use. Don't quit. Make the results even better than were anticipated. Germany declares they will fight it out unless they are paid large indemnities and given additional territory, which means it will be some fight as fights go. Just why they should be paid an indemnity when the other rations have suffered more is just a little difficult for the average mind to grasp and so the war will go on until the leaders realize the useless waste of men and money. Are you planning for winter? I s important that you right now start to putting away food that can be used next winter. Its time to can many products of the garden and orchard, to look after your fuel, to provide for : the days when it is not so easy to se- ' cure the necessities and the more cf this you do now.the better it will be ' for you and every one else next winter. If you ever believed in thrift you surely do now. Save and put away for winter. Do it now. The greatest business men in the world admit they by advertising. Every good business man you know advertises when he lias anything to sell. Can you think of any good reason why -you shouldn’t use the colt umns of a daily newspaper which reaches every nook and corner of the county, is read by many thousand peo-> pie each day, with a rate as low as it i can be made during these days of i high priced material? If you have a reason its alright but if eventually, why not now? Chairman Haya, of the state < ouncil , of defense, is making an extra effort to have representatives present from , every county at the meeting to be , held at Indianapolis tomorrow afternoon. The citizens who gather will be addressed by George F. Porter and W. E. Hall, of the national council and the meeting promises to be very interesting. Mr. Porter will discuss the national organization and Mr. Hall will tell of the plans for enlisting boys from 16 to 20 years of age for farm work. Governor Goodrich and other Indiana men of prominence will talk and those who attend will have a clearer idea of the real purpose of the council. Have you registered? It is important that you should whe-he?- y favor the constitutional convention or not. H you do, you will want to vote for it, if you don’t you should qualify to vott just the same, for whether you

jl RADICAL CHANGES e (Continued from Page One) " gram and who was understood to have 1 stood out to the last against antagonr' izing America. g At the same time. Hollweg. because '* of the liberalism which he exhibited K on these two occasions and on others. ” is commanding considerable sympa'hv r from the radical German elements. 1 One of the main reasons for the prediction in German dispatches today that he would survive the uphea>’el .. was that the liberal elements in Ger I. many, while realizing Hollweg's funI damental attitude of reaction, neverI theless preferred to “take a cha.tee" ~ with him in control, rather than have . him succeeded possibly by some other intensely pro-junker. anti-reform |. chancellor. Washington. July 11 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Official warning " was given here today that the Atueri--1 can public must not regard the German situation offering any great hope t at the present time. i Press report* and official informa- ] tion show that there is pracitically no criticism of Germany’s military effort. And. officials say Germany can sacri5 flee Zimmerman, Halfferlch and even ' Bethman- Hollweg. without swaying ’ the actual conduct of the war. so ' long as there is no complaint against ’ the war lords. Hindenburg and Luden- ! dorf. * ’ Authorities here say the situation is one strictly of interna! politics ' which for the moment does not pro--1 ject any real upheave! They do believe. however, that the leaven of democracy is working in Germany and . that sooner or later there will be a popular uprising against Hohenzollern- . ism. When Germany struggles domestic difficulties, the allies are preparing ' to give her a new dose of shell fire and brimstone. Advices to official quarters here indicate that a big-offensive is now in I shape on the French or Italian fronts or both. Meantime. Russians are making astonishing progress in their resurrected campaign, and military men say it is an even gamble as to whether she sustains it or lapses back to her former apathy. Bethmann-Hollweg's statements before the reichstag squared with American expectations, inasmuch as he i threw down, “no annexations, no indemnities,” and engaged in the old game of bluffing the Teuton folk with statements that Germany can win. come what may. Serious as the internal problem may appear on the surface. Germany is far , from the cracking point, officials be- ! lieve. “The present discussion is still i philosophical.” said one prominent of l ficial. “and when men can talk philosophy. the strain can’t be very great. A ! crash is preceded by something mo-e violent than philosophical argumen.. o— — NEW CENSUS ESTIMATE. (Uniws! Press Service! Washington, D.
