Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-clas3 matter. The Victory Loan bonds or notes as they might, he called are to be made more attractive from tiie financial standpoint of the investor than any other issue floated heretofore. The interest rate will be higher, while the term of the bonds will be shorter, possibly five years. It will be the shrewd and careful investor who will invest his money in Victory Bonds and then make his living Uy clipping coupons. Besides the people of Adams county will answer the government's request from the patriotic standpoint. As the days roll by the people and especially the taxpayers of the state are becoming better acquainted with the record of the recent republican grab-bill legislature. Each day the provision of some bill passed in the last hour of the session is brought to their attention and in practically every case it contains another means for taxing the people. It wasn't enough to increase the dog tax to three and eight dollars, but other burdens had to be lacked on in order to derive the revenue to carry the political henchmen on the payrolls. One thing that the people can be thankful for is that the democratic minority was strong enough to at least defeat a number of the bills that would have added still greater burdens on them and all for the sake of raising the salaries or creating new jobs for Governor Goodrich's favorites. “Paint up and clean up” is a good j slogan for any city or community to' adopt. Paint up those places that have been neglected during the past j two years and it will not only ad to! the appearance of the place and surroundings but. will give employment to men who are looking for jobs. Employment means prosperity. Steel prices have been lowered and Now is the time to order an Easter Suit, tailored to j your measure, and we will « hold it until you are ready I for same. Come in today ; and get your measure tak-i en, select your material and we will do the rest. » l&kfc* | ifMs 1 I i !.' \\ 1 | COPYRIGHT BY \ |Ko[ Ml lEOl EO Vi PR,CE a c °* lOMInf y Jg mb Prices range from $22.0C to $40.00. g"** 1 v-f THE mm-mivt COMPANY The Store that Does Things L
