They are the very best investments ever offered by this or any other country. They pay 4 per cent interest compounded for five years. Give thanks tomorrow for peace md f<T prosperity ami for all the good things that’have come to y>u during this greatest year in all history. It hasn't, been so had with al! the sacrifices and there.is much to be thankful for if you will just set it down. One is almost led to believe that Colonel Roosevelt is planning to be the ringmaster of the next republican convention and that those who aspire to honors at that time should get their applications in early. He is a rule or ruin boss, a man hard to please' and a fault finder who keeps something stirred up all the time. Watch out for Teddy. The merchant who doesn't advertise is injuring himself more than atty one else. The customer will find what he wants in the store that do?s ask for his business and you are simply teiiiug them by your silence that you don't care a hang whether the., deal with you or not. The retailer who sits around in this day and age end waits for some one to come in and coax him to -cl! him ;me of his goods deserves but little sympathy. The live one gets the business and it will never he any different. Adams county’ is the best, in the state and Decatur is its county seat. It’s a good oio county and good old town that always makes good. W; are now facing a very important era of our history. Will we go forward or stand still or lack up? it's up to u as citizens. If we organize there are tnatfy things we can do and we do not mean by this that we should charge a big fee for admission to a chamber of commerce. Make it a dollar a year so everybody can join, work as w>> have for war purposes and we will do great things for this community.

XMAS SUGGESTIONS * Now is the time to buy useful Christmas Gifts. Our store is full of things that man or boy in your family will appreciate. A Suit, Overcoat, Sweater or anything in the line of wearing apparel w ill be appreciated more than some novelty that is soon cast aside. . r-j *! ’.: ‘ — ■ the MrERS-DAitEY COMPANY i
