There are so many that you < t:gh; to make for 1919 that you ought to have a bunch of them ready and your mind fully made up to keep them. The thanks of the community are due Messrs, F. E. France and H.

Ilessly run into it and if you inn aid as is often the case, wear a ma k in the sick room and use the other precautions. Better Ire a litti- earful new ever, if it is sacriia c of.pleasure than to aid in the. least n the spreading of the disease. Do you know why the gym ; doesn't grow more rapidly? The cth,-. fellow is waiting on you and you are I waiting for him. la th > meantime the boys and girls are waiting for,' both of you which isn’t just fair f->r| they have waited now a good many > years. You say you want clean boyand girls, you want their minds <>n j < lean si . ■ • v ■ - ing. Then why don't you help provide a place for them where they can; do just that? The opera house can 1 be made into a decent gym at a small cost but there is no funds for doing it and that’s why we have undertaken -■ ular subscription. Go to the game' tonight. Spend a quarter with the' athletic association and see it yon ‘ don’t catch the spirit of aiding them.

Wo are 1 posed to the taxing iff the people of ’ Adams county, the taking away of our atro tex income stud inheritance tax, to build anti maintain a road in some ■ether county and we are sure the g.-i-at majority of people will feel the .same way, because the plan is unjust, if we ure to fluid paved roals we ■hould place the burden of the expense where it belongs and that itj upon these who are most benefited’Any other plan is wrong and wil ' eventually fail. [ Plans are being discussed f*”’ th*'' building of a board of trade building in Decatur and indications are that i tho project will receive hearty sup- ’ sort. The idea is to provide headquarters as well as a modern auditorium and opera house, with two or [three small business rooms. The idea , is a good one and will help put >’ catur on the map. In this, the 1 5,000 town in the state, we have notn ing of this kind, no opera house, audi j torium. gymnasium, attractive club or * ;aay place where those who w r •j twelve or fifteen hours a day can [for an hour’s pleasure. The buiiuii.-l [planned will fill a niche and make lite Jin Decatur more pleasant and the mm [back of it are in earnest. Trices on isites and estimates on cost tire bemg .secured and plans made forth organization of a company which wdi 1 , provide this long needed and mu i j J desired improvement for Deentur. .■ ! It’s one of the results of awakening, ’iio tho reconstruction period and It’s ■» ■a worthy one. M |1 SOCIETY Club Calendar Thursday. Epworth League ’ Mopping U;j ’ Social —M. E. church.

ft The Primrose is Builf for Service DOTH the reasons why you buy a cream separator ~ sre met by Primrose. The first is to get all the cream with the least work; the second, to buy a machine that you or your wife can easily keep in operating condition, and that will skim closely for years. You know that there is nothing about a Primrose to get ou of erder, You know, too, that it has a splash oiling systt-n that takes earc of every bearing, and that it is a clean machine — no osl in the m,ik, and no milk in the oil. But the Pi .mrcse has some other exclusive features you ought to know be! ve you buy any separator. For instance, at any position, the handle tare? hold the instant pressure is applied, and lets go the instant the pressure :s U..en off. The spindle stays in the separator, where it belongs. When yc ap ■ :e the bo - lon the spindle, it centers itself automatically without any pounding and without trying more than once —that saves the lower spindle fceerirand prevents dangerous springing of the spindle itself, No matter what separator question you bring up, you will find it fully U... : s -c. by the Primrose. Come in and take a good teokat it before you buy. T. W.
