DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, APRIL 22,1919

I dandy accomplishment.—Abe Martin in Indianapolis News. Mr. and Mrs. John Peoples of Fort Wayne, Miss Hilda Kern and Roy Gaunt were Easter guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ota Gaunt of east of the city. A remarkable example of the wisdom of the U. S. government plan of war financing appears in the recent annual report of the U. S. Steel Corporation. During the year the corporation bought $352,340,500 of U. S. government anticipation certificates. This enabled the corporation to meet fderal income tax payments amounting to $196,063,500 without any borrowing. The total federal tax of the corporation was $274,277,835. The certificates proved to be exactly what Victory Reveille has called them — "a special kind of currency provided by the government to facilitate tax payments and loan subserptions, without adding any burden to the credit burdens of the banks and business men.” Miss Naomi Baker returned to her work at the’ Fort Wayne telephone office after spending Easter and yesterday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Baker. GREAT GUNS!—WHAT MAIL Uncle Sam Will Carry a Whopping Load of Reading Matter About Victory Liberty Loan to His Prospects.' Two hundred and fifty tons of first class mall! That is the staggering weight of the matter which Uncle Sam will distribute throughout the Seventh federal reserve district in giving "scientific billing to the Victory Liberty loan.” To Insure maximum efficiency in the distribution of this enormous amount of propaganda material the distribution bureau of the department of publicity for the Seventh federal reserve district has evolved the following scheme, based on the most reliable figures obtainable. The estimated population of the district Is 14,246,503 divided as follows: Popula- Per Cent Divisions tlon. of Total. Cook county (Illinois 2,858,431 21.18 Illinois (outside Cook county)... 2,168,344 14.75 Indiana 2,239,492 15.23 lowa 2,219,099 15.09 Michigan 2,744,490 20.03 Wisconsin 2,016,647 13.72 Total 14,246,503 100.00 The above districts are divided into counties, the county being the unit of distribution. There are 339 counties. Each has a chairman. He receives all the propaganda allotted to his district based on the proportionate population, and his own working organization see to it that all “live space” is properly billed. Here are a few facts regarding the whirlwind machinery of distribution: Twenty thousand square feet of space are necessary for addressing and mailing room. The distribution bureau has its own post office. Three hundred men work day and night. One million posters will be mailed in four-pound packages. Eight million Victory Liberty loan buttons will be handled. Two million circular letters to bondholders of previous Liberty loan issues will be mailed. Five million letterheads and envelopes to bond salesmen will be distributed. Tens of thousands of automobile owners will receive windshield stickers advertising the loan. It has been offlclalfy announced that the drive for the sale of Victory Liberty loan bonds will start on April 21. If careful plans of the distribution bureau carry through every American on the morning of April 14, at least a week before the drive, will be greeted with the nation-wide Injunction, “Finish the Job.” HELP "FINISH THE JOB.” i WATCH OUT FOR SHARKS I r «; BONDHOLDERS. — Get the*; ! names and addresses of persons X and companies offering you *’ doubtful stocks or speculative *. q securities, particularly if in ex- J' r- change for your Liberty bonds or r • J: War Savings stamps.

GARDEN TOOLS ON THE GROUND ARE DANGEROUS * ■ r fl/ / / • § < r. < - : W' i : : ■ '-A ’ ‘ : L_ —- ; Bmi . w £ ; What may happen if a hoe or rake is left lying on the ground is shown’" in this picture. A rake with sharp teeth often bites through good shoe ” leather. i J When the carpenter is through working he carefully cleans his tools and puts them away in a box because he wants them to be in good condition for > work the next day. A hoe or spade left overnight in the garden is sure to be rusted and in poor cnodition for use. Garden tools not in use should be placed upright against the sense or ' house. At night they should be placed indoors.

AT REX THEATER TODAY "Diana the Huntress,” a classical mith, is the offering at the Rex today. Baroness DeWitz in the title role is a woman of unusual attractiveness, being adapted to the part she plays. Perhaps no character in mithology lias been chosen as often tor paintings as has Diana. And now hanging in the art galleries at London, Paris, New York and many other famous galleries are paintings of Diana, by noted artists. The Diana production offers reproductions of many of the famous paintings. o PARIS LACKS PEP; STILL CLINGS TO WAR WAYS (United Press Service} Paris, April s—(Bys—(By Mail) —Paris, once the gayest of all capitals, has bean comparatively — only comparatively—sedate for so long that it is ngw experiencing difficulty trying to get into its old peppy ways since the ban was lifted slightly as to 9:30 case closing. It is now permitted to keep the cases open until 10:30 o’clock, and music, taboo during' the war, is also in full blast. But Paris had hard work trying to get used to the new arrangements after more than four years of 9:301 closing. Paris got the extra hour sor 5 dining and wining the latter part of March. The cases were informed,; however, that they could not use any more electricity for lighting than had been allowed previously, and that if the daylight saving law would accomplish the economy, well and good. So gay Paris started staying out a little later at night. But it took some time for it to get readjusted. At 9:30 the usual crowds of diners were vanishing. Gradually they edged up to 10 o’clock, but it was rare for very many cases to be crowded past that I hour. Paris barred music and dancing during the war as unseemly. Dancing hasn’t come back yet, though some of the small cases are gradually resuming.
