Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The Athletic Hall remodelled and enlarged will prove a popular place in Decatur as is evidenced from the fact that many of the events which mark the closing of the school year, including the commencement exercises will be held there. You will be surprised no doubt at the changes. They have been made at a large expense and the men who form the board of directors will from time to time ask you to assist them in meeting the payments. This is a community affair in which every citizen should be interested and we believe you are. If you will watch the boys and girls play there we know you will be. It furnishes a clean and attractive place for the young people, provides a theater for the many events, encourages the young people and makes them take a greater interest in school affairs. Boost for the gym and help it in every way you can. A year ago today the Germans broke the allied front in heavy attacks in the Ypres sector, struck quickly along the Somme river, assembled their forces to break the back bone of the allied defense. Have you forgotten it in one short twelve months? Have you forgotten the frantic effort being made in this country to rush our men and supplies across the Atlantic? Well we nkuit lay that bill and we must bring home 1 a million men who are still there. How can you shirk such a duty? Buy

Victory Bonds. You have but twenty-four hours In which to subscribe for Victory bonds. It seems you would at least want some of these securities. They your badge of patriotism, they show that you have ‘■finished the job.” They will prove good investments and they will give your government a place in world affairs. Don't put it off any longer or it will be too late. The terms of the treaty are severe but we doubt if they are as stringent as they would have been had the enemy had the power to write them. The money spent and for which Victory bonds are now being sold made it possible that the allies write the terms. Americans are buj Ing those bonds.

The callus comes loose from the true flesh. No irritation whatever.

There’s no fussing—no knife, no scissors to use. "Gets-It” is used by millions, because it’s common sense, and it never fails. Try it, prove it. “Gets-It.” the guaranteed monevback corn-remover, the only sure way, costs but a trifle at any drug store. M'f’d by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111.

v WHY THUNDERSTORMS SOUR THE MILK. ' Dr. Trillat of the I'asteur Institute. I has a new theory to account for the turning of cream after a thunderstorm. Until now it was generally I supposed that the electrical dis- ; charges of the atmosphere and the ‘ consequent changes in the ozone of the air were responsible for the change. Dr. Trillat has made expert ments showing that a tiny quantity s of putrid gaseous matter suffices to " accelerate the process of decomposiI tion of milk, cream, soup and meat. The atmospheric changes during a thunderstorm accelerate the disintegration of all gaseous matter, as everyone knows. Dr. Trillat has made numerous experiments which have established to his satisfaction the fact that this freed gaseous matter is directly responsible for the turning of cream after an electric storm.
