Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The Italians have awakened and are fighting the Germans back man for man. Whether or not they can stand the terrific pace of war remains to be seen but at least there are indications of a confidence by the people of that nation that their army can hold the enemy. The next big drive over the nation will be a Red Cross campaign for fifteen million new members. No organization in all the world Is of such great importance; not only to the men engaged in war but to generations of the future. The plans are now being made and when launched will come with such speed that victory will be assured. P. L. has quit “gum shoeing" and is now devoting his ability as a writer to criticizing the city and county administration. He seems "peeved’’ over something. Perhaps the recent city election didn’t go just to suit him but why cry over the milk that is spilled? Try boosting and forget it. Another campaign will be on in a few' months and you can be a candidate again. Talk of probable candidates for president in 1920 has begun and Leslie this week gives the pictures of a dozI en who have a chance. Among the democrats getting a start is Secretary McAdoo of the treasury, a big man who is holding a hip job and in a way that is attracting attention all over the world. He looks good at this time. The favorites for the republicans seem to be Roosevelt and Hughes. Developements of the next two years will however have much to do with deciding the question. During the years when the women of the nation have been battling for the right of suffrage Colonel Roosevelt ] as governor, president, politician, has remained a neutral. Now he suddenly becomes a rip-roaring advocate for the women and there are those mean enough to intimate that the recent election in the Empire state which gave women the vote, had much to do with the change of mind of this great man. Passing events some times cause a man to change his opinions, especially if the man is a trained vote getter. * | General Haig surprised the Germans on the Flanders front and wen the greatest victory since the battle of the Somme, perhaps a victory even more important. The supposedly impregnable Hindenburg line was punched through so easily that is surprised THIS WAS A GREAT DAY FOR RAINCOATS We have them in a wide assortment of Tans and Greys. $5 to $lB THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

those who planned it and they - are still marching forward with the * city of Cambral in sight. Thousands _ of prisoners have been taken, bunV dreds of guns and the enemy so terror t stricken that they have been unable f to slop the onslaught. The attack was _ the first one without a barrage fire and worked wonderfully well. i The lessons of economy and self- . denial that are being taught the Amert lean people are much needed. We 1 have been living in luxury and extra- , vagance and then complaining because some of our neighbors were living better. It Is the old story of the more a man has the more he wants. A few years ago it would have been foolish to tell the average man that he could not have meat every day and several times a day if he liked, and the idea of saving flour was a joke as bread was common enough to waste all one wanted to. It will not hurt any of us to do without a few things. There is little danger of us going hungry, although we may not have what we like best. When it comes to eating we are a nation of spoiled children who have always thought we should have anything that pleased out taste. It is well that we should be made to realize how well off we have been,— New Castle Times. FRIAR-WABASH GAME AT FT. WAYNE SUNDAY —■ " I < Fort Wayne, Nov. 22 —The annual Wabash-Friar tilt, the football classic in professional circles of the state, , scheduled to take place next Sundav at League park this city, has aroused , he interest of fandom as no other similar event has done in many years. . As will be remembered these tradi- , tional foes staged a pair of battles . last year, one here and the other at ( Wabash, each team winning the home game in th last few minutes of the final period. Incidentally it was the ’ first time the local aggregation ever I scored a victory over the A. A.‘s and i with Friar outfit the strongest it has ever been ans of this city are crying I for revenge for the fluke defeat suffered at Wabash. , Judging from the manner in which the seats are selling, the sale having opened Tuesday morning at Meyer , Bros. Drug store, corner of Calhoun and Wayne streets, the attendance , records for years past are certain to fall by the wayside. Wabash fans | have reserved a block of five hundred, i where their rooters will gather to com- 1 pete with the Friars Howling Hundred 1 which organization comes into being each year for this special occasion. Many good seats are still to be had. including twenty-five boxes, several i hundred in the grandstand and quanri- 1 ties in the bleachers, prices remaining the same as before. All out of town natrons are requested to forward their ( remittances to the Meyer Drug store as the Friar club will discontinue looking after this matter. The prelimin- , ary game starts at 1:15 oclock, the big game at 2:30. INDIANA AND PUR- I DUE, SATURDAY, i Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 22 —Indiana will clash Purdue here Saturday in the biggest game of the year for both schools. The same old fighting spirit which always prevails in an IndianaPurdue contest is expected to be in evidence again this year. An Indiana football team has not defeated Purdue in six years. Last year a comparatively poor team invaded Lafayette and held the Boilermakers to a scoreless tie. This year followers of the Crimson eleven are howling for a victory. The team is being whipped into shape by Coach Jumbo Stiehm assisted by his corps of helpers and a group of loyal “I” men who have left their [business to contribute their mite. Purdue scouts here to watch the DePauw game found little comfort inasmuch as Steihm was careful to uncover nothing. The tickets are going at an unprecedented rate. The problem now is to supply seats for the vast throng that will undoubtedly be on hand. WIN MY CHUM SERVICES The Win My Chum meetjng last night was as successful as the previous meetings.

GREAT PROBLEM . Is That of Seed Corn for the 1918 Crop—Study is Made. [OF THE SITUATION Government Man Working in County—C. R. Troyer Here. i Reliable data from the Bureau of i Crop estimates of the U. S. Departi ment of Agriculture shows that not more than 20 per cent of the Indiana . corn crop is suitable for seed. In other words, only 40,000,000 bushels ; of the 210,000,000 crop can be used for seed purposes. This means that many farms from some counties show tiiat they will have very little or no seed. With this condition existing in Indiana and other middlewestern states, farmers of this county must act at once it they are to "have seed ■ for the 1918 crop. The government, working through Purdue university realizing the serI iousness of the seed corn situation has ' sent Mr. C. E. Troyer to this county to work out a plan with local people to get a line on all the well matured seed corn in this county. With the help of local men he thinks it will be possible to go into all parts of the'eounty and inspect the corn fields. He hopes to list all these well matured fields and then publish the names of men who have this seed , so that other farmers who do not have f seed may know where to get it. He urged that where farmers do not have seed that they should arrange to get it as soon as possible since very few 1 men are equipped for storing a very large amount. Farmers who have seed should not be asked to hold it. < Every farmer should plan to assist , the government in this important work bv getting their seed for 1918 crop at fie earliest possible date. We owe it to our nation to help in any campaign that will insure a greater ] food production for next year. More food will be needed next year for our soldiers than we can produce. AMONG THE BOWLERS.
