Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as gecond-class matter. We confess there is much we do not understand about the proposed League of Nations, but it seems that at least it is an Honest effort to prevent future wars which ought to be encouraged. We know that under old conditions wars are as sure to come as tme. We know too that under the proposed league it will at least be more difficult to engage In war. The old plan has always failed. Why not try the new? The people of the country are for the league. Don't try to fool yourself that they are not and by the way they will have one in due time. The Fort Wayne News gave but little notice to the visit to their city of so distinguished a personage as Rabi Wise of New York and the reason is evident. They did not like what be said though they realize the logic of his argument but like many politicians they hesitate to say just what they do believe. Then too it is probable that the fact that a number of the leading business men of Fort Wayne would not relish an attach lipon the brilliant rabi had something to do with it. Even a republican newspaper has to earn a dollar. — 1 Rochester Sentinel: Most repulican senators would rather see the United States shedding its blood in another terrible war than to see Wilson’ the triumphant and victorious leader of the League of Nations, and cense-, quently the leader of the world’s democracy. There are probably civilians who would honestly regret to see this country join the league, but is it not better to join the league than to have more of our sons, brothers and fathers slaughtered a few years hence? It is now strongly hinted that a special session of the Indiana legislature must be called to correct and make some changes in the tax law to Now is the time to order an Easter Suit, tailored to your measure, and we will hold it until you are ready for same. Come in today and get your measure tak-j en, select your material and j we will do the rest. till COPVRICHT BPrices range from $22.< to $40.00. fc-— ——-*i TTH £3 MYERS-OfllLE COMPANY The Store that Does Thir

'make It legal. After all the bad luck! . we have had recently surely such a| punishment as another session ofj that body cannot be imposed upon the good people of Indiana. Besides the ehances are they will only make . it worse if given the opportunity. There can be no doubt that a chamber of commerce would do great good in Decatur and it should be organized. If a padd secretary was employed to work at the job eight or ten hours a day it would be surprising what .we could do in one year toward making this the best town in the state. - Get the clock oiled up and remember to change the hands, moving forward one hour Saturday night. If you want to follow the law to the ■ letter the change should be made at two o'clock Sunday morning. It should be a pleasure to buy Victory bonds. They will be the very best of all those issued, bearing a higher rate of interest and running but five years. It beats a tax all to pieces and if the drive should fail it , means a tightning up for the debts would have to be met and the banks ( would be foyced to carry a heavy load The way to best provide for your fu-> ture prosperity is to buy all the bonds you can. 1 SOCIETY I a g Club Calendar Thursday. » Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid — Mrs. Charles D.

There is still time to do one more thing which will increase your 1919 wheat yield. If your fields have come through the winter with rather large open, uneven spots, or if the plants have a somewhat sickly, yellowish appearance, a top-dressing of fertilizer high in ammonia applied shortly after early spring growth has started, will add bushels to your yields. Plenty of available plantfood Jtt the right time in the spring causes the young wheat plant to throw off extra shoots or “tiller out,” as it is called. This thickens the stand of stalks which will later produce heads.

The plant on the left received no fertilizer, the middle one acid phosphate, and the one at the right received both am- ■ monia and phosphoric acid. It is usually safe to count on four to six bushels increase in the wheat crop, if properly top-dressed, and under specially favorable conditions the increase may run up to ten bushels-
