Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The most popular summer driuk in Decatur should be Lucerno, because it's made here and because it’s the first product of its kind ever made here that is being nationally advertised. The men behind this project are spending their money, giving their time and effort and they deserve home support. The fellow who doesnot give it is a piker. You may not care whether it is made here or not but it means a lot to you for this new and delicious drink to become popu lar for it means a great big industry for this city. If the Lucerno becomes as popular as many drinks now sold the Alto plant will withiu a lew years be a real factory employing hundreds of people. The men back of it have invested their money here, have taken their part in affairs, without asking or receiving a penny. They are deserving of your good wishes and your support. Drink bucemo, ask for it, insist on getting it and boost it. It should be sold in every store and used by the home people, book weil to the future. The gym committee are trying to finance the new athletic hall by giving home talent shows of merit and the first one will entertain you on Monday, June 16th. The drive to sell one thousand ticket tags will be made next Tuesday by the boys and girls to whom this improvement means so much. The dollar means a dollar for I the gym and a most enjoyable even-' ing for you. It ought to be and we confidently believe will be a success. Nothing has been said in this congress which should be read with more interest than the remarks of Representative Hull, a democrat, and I recognized in congress and out of it ■ as one of the most able men in the House on the question of finances, “1 was about to say, so far as the democratic party is concerned, it will < welcome the closest scrutiny of eveiy act connected with its part of the war,” said Hull. “It will freely give credit to any and every citizen for e what he did, but I warn my friends I who have politics alone on their 0 • V minds in connection with these lutes- ,

I tigations that they are very liable to overplay that policy before they have proceeded tar. This nation will be ready at the conclusion of the war to compare points with every other government Engaged in the World War with respect to the conduct of those nations in the prosecution of the war. This nation stands head and shoulders above any other nation, allies and enemy, with respect to the soundness of the financing of the war.” Jesse Eschbach, recently appointed chief accountant, refused to lake the job until a lot of charges brought against public officials without sufficient grounds had been discharged. He has taken the position and it is presumed that satisfactory action was taken in the cases. It all sounds mighty queer outside the statehouse circle.
