Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Many gallons of Lucerno were sold in Decatur over Sunday, every place where it was handled having dozens of calls, showing that the people here are willing to boost Decatur-made goods, and they found this a good one. We maintain that unless we toot our own horn a little, say good things about our own people, do a little advertising of Deeatur and the goods made here, no one else will. The best boosting begins right at home. The best way in the world to make a town grow is to get behind the local industries and push them to the front, give them assistance if necessary and boost. If the local community wants to spend any money now, which requires the issuance of bonds, they must secure permission from two or three men in Indianapolis. Perhaps they know our business better than local men could, but if they can convince the people out here in the country, they will do better than they have so far. It’s a nuisance and an expensive way of providing jobs for a bunch of the deserving. It will never work in Indiana, for the people won’t stand for it. Senator Borah is promising a new political party for 1920 and has laid it down straight that unless congress defeats the league of nations he will start his organization. Mr. Hearst always against something is also threatening and there is a chance that he and Borah will form a partnership. Any way the indications at this time

are that the campaign of 1920 will be a very interesting one, furnishing an outlet for the enthusiasm, good or bad, of every one. If you are interested in “building up your home town’’ you should read an article by J. R. Sprague on page eighty-one of the last issue of Saturday Evening Post. That story tells the real truth about local organization how they lose and why they win and what we ought to do. Every booster for Decatur should read the article and then read it again. Mr. E. H. Sprunger. editor of the ‘

He is a capable young man, of pleasing personality, has proven his ability in the newspaper field and will make jan excellent record in his new work. We wish him well and believe he will prove the right man in the right place. Buy a ‘‘gym" tag when the boys and girls call on you tomorrow. The money will be used to pay for and improve the new athletic hall, a splendi 1 improvement for Decatur and providing a place for the young folks to enjoy themselves during the winter months. Remember that no one gets a penny out of the gym show. Every dollar goes toward paying the debt. Any story to the contrary is just a plain knock. ■ i SOCIETY ITEMS Club Calendar T uesday. W. C. T.
