Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The United States today welcomed home President Wilson, greatest living citizen today. We are rushing along through these momentous times, scarcely realizing what important acts are being performed and how one man and he our president, is rebuilding the government of the world, Future generations will know more about the details than we of today. The president is serving the people honestly, courageously and wisely and as Former President Taft says we would in ’Pate to trust after dark these senators who are opposing him. Watch them, the president does not need it. He is for you all the time. Get your pocket book out. The Goodrich legislature is staying up nights planning how to increase your taxes, not the least but the most. They are going to put it over too though we realize how hard that is to believe after the promises made but just the saihe they are slipping in to you, gently perhaps but just as sure as fate. Though outclassed, outweighed and outcoached the Decatur basket ball team fought the game Saturday night to a finish. That’s one of the things that clean sports teach the boy and girl, to fight on and it’s*a good lesson to carry through life. You can't always win, you can’t always have an 1 easy time of it, but most of the time < you must push on against great odds. We liked the way our boys did it and they haven't lost one ounce of our respect and admiration. Keep up that lick boys and you will make goed, not only in sports but in the bigger things of life.

Here are three big jobs that must be done within the next few weeks — organization of a chamber of commerce, the Victory Loan, the writing of Adams county's history of their part in the great war. Who will do it? What have you to suggest We believe there should be some new energy injected, some new men and women should volunteer, fresh ideas put into effect. If you will give us your opinion we will be glad to print it and it may make Decatur. Adams county and every body alive here. One of the useless bills on its waythrough the legislature and apparently so well greased that it will become

one of the famous administration laws, is the Kimmel cil bill which provides jobs for a bunch of politicians. Senator Ellsner, a democrat, added an amendment that :he jobs be given to discharged soldiers or sailors but the g. o. p. caucus immediately stamped that provision out for most of the fellers slated for these jobs not only didn't go to war but kicked about those who did. As between politics I and patriotism there was no indicision. The caucus promptly voted for "the more important’’ as Mr. Hays would say—politics. The tax and road bills are to be passed, not by a free vote, not because the people want them as they are, but because a gag rule is being applied by a few politicians. You may like that but we confess we don't. We believe in that foundation of democracy, the people should rule and when they do, it’s sure to be right. If law makers wish to take away our rights, wish to increase our tax, to make radical changes, they should consult the people and give them the right to an expression of their desires. Just remember these incidents of the closing hours of the legislature. I SOCIETY | Botaaa:sma»a:r3x7«sststtsasa»: H Club Calendar Monday Card Party and Dance —K. of C. Hall. Research Club —Mrs. P. B.

Pearson cf San Diego, California, sums u ; : , his experience with Neolin Soles. Mr. 1 Pearson had two pairs of shoes resoled with Neolin Soles, and after wearing them for twenty months . writes 'I will have to get new shoes sometime, but so far as the soles arc concerned, that time seems as far distant as when they were new.” This is typical, of the experience millions are having with Neolin Soles. Created by Science to be durable, flexible and waterproof, these soles are an important factor in cutting shoe expense.'- You can get them on new shoes for the whole family, and for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels—guaranteed to outwear all other heels. s Ttaac Mark Reg. U.S* Tat. O. •

Probably no man in America wm ever better qualified to successfully treat the diseases peculiar to women than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that come to him run into many thousands, giving him an experience that ra-eiy comes to any one man. Dr. Pierce found that in nearly every case there were certain vegetable growths which rarely failed to give prompt relief in those feminine J-** orders from which so many women suffer. He combined these roots and herbs into a temperance medicine that he called Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, for that is precisely what it was. This medicine t’ sold in both liquid and tablet form by druggists everywhere. Favorite Prescription is a distinct remedy for women and acts directly upon the organs that characterize the sex. it is not necessary to take a long course of treatment with this standard medicine. A weakly, sickly, backachy, headachy, nervous, despondent woman, with regular or irregular pains—with feminine disorders that come in youth or middle age—is pretty sure to find in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription the exact remedy that her condition calls for, and to find it after a very few doses are taken. Why women should allow themselves to stav sick when a very little money spent for this remedy will probably make them well, is something no one can explain. All women who suffer from feminine disorders are invited to write the Faculty of the Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., for free confidential consultation and aihice, no charge being made for this high professional service. This vali enable ewery woman to benefit by the advice of the distinguished corps of phjisicians which Dr. Pierce has gathered about him in his celebrate! Buffalo institution. When constipation is present <ith feminine disorders, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets should be taken along with Favorite Prescription. Try them now!
