Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The sugar company needs men and

they need them badly, this fact causing them to ask today tor the service of men who can work only Sunday. Usually our community would object to such a plea, but under present circumstances we know they will not. It is important that this factory produce every pound of sugar it can and it is important that the cars be unloaded as quickly as possible that they may be rushed away to bring in coal and other products, j Circumstances over which the man-' agers have no control make necessary the appeal for men to work on Sunday and longer, if possible. We hope they succeed in getting them. WeYiave until Monday night to complete our campaign for the Y. M, C. A. and indications are now that we will meet the demands and more. James Kinney the chairman for one of the precincts in Jefferson township came in this morning with his face beaming, because his territory had subscribed as much as the quota for the ebtire township. You can’t lick that kind of spirit and we are proud of Jim and of every man who worked for this glorious cause. Boys you are as good a bunch of soldiers as ever faced the enemy in a great cause and you are doing a most important part of the work. God bless you one and all. When Attorney Clark Lutz. ihe chairman of the Adams county Y. M. C. A. drive, pledged this county's promise to till her quota, the old veteran of many a political campaign said: "I don't know whether it will be a ‘spread-eagle’ or a ’gum shoe’ campaign, but Adams county will do her share!” Mr. Lutz was right. It now appears tlutt we might call this a regular steam roller affair, for Adams county maintained her prestige and traditions by being the first county in the state to report her quota filled. She comes first alphabetically and naturally maintains the initial position in other respects as well. —Berne Witness. The efforts to raise thirty-five million dollars in this nation for the Y. M. C. A. have been so successful that the goal has been raised to fifty million and will be reached before Monday night. This means that Indiana must give a million and a quarter and that Adams county must send in $6500 Will we do it? WE WILL. We are

Won't our boys at the front and in the various camps bo delighted to hear that this old county whs the very first to go over the top ;uid that when the second call camo to boost the total, we had it practically raised, that every precinct male good, that we are for them whether they be at home or out in the world and that all they have to do is to ask our assistance and it is gladly given? Os course the boys and girls within twenty-five miles of Decatur are wondering what this "Meet Santa Claus in Decatur December 15th” means, and you will know all about it soon.
