The resolution of the board of commissioners of Adams county in favoring the tuberculosis sanitarium is broad and complete and right, and is supported by the people of the country, The scene when the resolution was read yesterday was an inspiring one. and showed the kind of co-op-eration and a desire to progress, that always wins. Miss Spaeth, Dr. Archbold. the physicians and others, who did the work deserve much credit, as does the board for their prompt action. President Wilson is home, after completing the most important job in all the history of the world. He will convince the people of this country of that truth and will whip his enemies to the satisfaction of every one concerned. Os course he has important work to do here and he will do it just as he has all other tasks imposed upon him during the years he has served as chief executive of the nation, honestly, fearlessly and completely.

An important meeting will be held at the city hall tonight at eight o'clock, and if your interest in Decatur is of the genuine brand, you will be there. This is the time when industries can be secured. We need then ad they need us. The railroad facilities here are excellent, labor conditions better than in most places, everything is favorable. It only mains for us to use good business judgment. A little effort will bring in several good factories. Floating around in the air so high Up that the buildings on the main drag look like playhouses, the fields like checkerboards and the St. Marys river like a ribbon is certainly an unusual experience for the average person, but within a few years, it will be so common that one will smile to think that it ever caused more than passing interest. The only nerve required is that necessary to declare you are going.

Advertise, Mr. Merchant, advertise.' That's the very best investment you can make. There are many proofs and may examples where the business has been more than tripled by a judicious use of the right kind of advertising at the right time. Just what business is it to those gentlemen in Indianapolis whether Geneva improves her school house or the citizens of Monroe township build the Laisure road, so long as the people here have to pay the bill MILITARY NOTES

AFTER SOL WOOD (Continued from Page 1) T. J. Williams, a confessed counterfeiter, was sentenced to two to 14 years in the state prison from the Allen county circuit court and he I called on Judge Wood yesterday to explain. Then the judge flayed Carl Yaple for eight years superior judge of Allen county, and Robert Buhler, his partner in law practice because “they railroaded Williams through the circuit court and gave him a light sentence” while the 22 year old toe dancer was brought into federal court. She pleaded guilty to a charge of passing two bflls which Williams raised from $lO to SIOO and she told the judge that Yaple and Buhler had charged her $250 for advising her to plead guilty. In a storm of indignation the judge bitterly denounced the two attorneys and told Leona to go home until the first Tuesday of next November but in the meantime she "must be a good girl.” He noticed that she had washed the rouge off her face and advised her to keep it off. So Leona is going back to her switchboard in Milwaukee. She sat in the trial box and trained her big appealing eyes full upon Judge Anderson as she told how she was advised as the “Queen of the cabaret” in Chicago and how she gained the monicker “The whirlwind of the divorce courts” after a brief stormy cruise on the sea of matrimony. Her eyes spoke eloquently in , her defense as a dainty foot traced I patterns on the mrt room carpet.

THE FARMER'S OPPORTUNITY. Description of the method of borrowing money on farms on the government plan through the First Joint Stock Land Bank of Fort Wayne, Ind. The idea is to loan money on farms for longer periods than is the exiting practice now, as authorized under the Federal Fann Loan Act, effective July, 1916. Tills law makes it possible for the farmers to make money by borrowing money. It is the intention to place money within the reach of the farmer on such terms as to convert the farm mortgage into a source of profit. The money may be loaned you to buy land for agricultural purposes, to purchase equipment, such as teams, machinery, live stock, to provide beneficial improvements, structure, tiling. drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. The money is loaned on the "amortization plan” which means the paying off of the indebtednes by installments of a fixed amount, throughout a period of years. As an example—On a loan of SI,OOO payment would be S7O a year, which payment applies upon interest and principal, paying off loan in 33 years. Epon a Ten Thousand Dollar loan, ♦he payment each year would be S7OO. Borrower may pay off part or all of loan after five years. Loans made up to one-half of the value of the land and 20 per cent of ♦he insurable value of the improvement.

NO COMMISSION—LOANS MADE TO BORROWER AT COST. No restrictions are placed on the use of the money you borrow and vour affairs are not subject to the scrutiny of others. You are not worried about a renewal, not the trouble and expense of one You have no uncertainty about interest rates. You have liberal prepayment privileges after five years. You io not tie up yourself or your land. Eevery payment you make reduces our principle as well as the interest, >o that at the expiration of the loan he entire debt has been discharged. Such an opportunity as this should give courage to an enterprising farmer to buy more land, to improve his arm and live stock and have the use md profits therefrom.
