Entered at the postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The various organizations of Adams county are back of the proposed plan to build a hospital for the care of those so unfortunate as to be stricken with tuberculosis and the commissioners and county council can certainly feel that in this matter they have the hearty co-operation of the people of the county. In some of the counties there seems to be a tendency to make political capital out of the fact that the project requires an appropriation. It is our honest opinion that when the health and life of the people of a community are at stake the officers who held back because the treatment of the trouble requires a few dollars would be the ones to be criticised, rather than those who acted progressively. If you are ill you do not consider expense, do you? Well sixty returned Adams county soldiers alone, need and deserve treatment for tuberculosis That ought to be enough but there are_ many, many others. Let there be no hesitency. Miss Spaeth in a ten minute talk just before the curtain went up last evening, told the big crowd some facts about the tuberculosis situation that we presume surprised and startled a god many people. It will cost about a half-cent on each SIOO of your valuation to build the proposed hospital and if you arc assessed for SIO,OOO it will cost you about fifty cents a year. Do you think it would be worth that to make this fight against disease? If you do boost for it, if you wouldn’t give your share to save some one’s life, then be against it. The president will sail from Brest tomorrow noon according to present plans. He will go direct to Washington and give his message to congress and will then go to the people. He is anxious that the citizens of this nation know all about the treaty, the league of nations and what they mean to us. He is carrying out also to the letter the provisions of the constitution and he is making the partisan senators who have opposed ♦*♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦<■♦♦♦« «♦♦♦♦+♦»» % | Summer | I Cool I Suit X If you ever needed a ! ♦ nice cool suit it is now.

i his every action, look like the Im- ' competent and disloyal statesmen I they are. f Ostensibly the special session is called to take care of the suffrage * question but it gives an excellent opportunity to patch up some of the mistakes made by the “best legislature in fifty years.” The only danger is that lik elnost special leglsla- • tures this one will get them in deep--1 er.

It was a delightful occasion and those who have given of their time and ability to thus provide clean and wholesome entertainment for the people of the community deserve credit and comendation. The governor proposes to make some changes in the road law. Well it certainly neds it so far as Adams county is concerned. Os course Randolph is well taken care of now. SOCIETY Club Calendar Monday.
