Provided, further, that when the manuscript made by said teacher, is sent to be graded by the state superintendent, that the county superintendent encolse a copy of this resolution, and also, his certificate asserting that he or she who made the said manuscript has violat- | ed the provisions of this the above ! and within resolution.” MANY LIKE THIS IN DECATUR Similar Cases Being Published In Each Issue. The following case is but one of many occurring daily in Decatur. It is an easy matter to verify it. You I cannot ask for better proof. D. W. Wagoner, plumber, 311 N. First street. Decatur, says: “I was taken with an attack of kidney trouble. I suffered from severe backache and pains in my sides. I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills from Callow & Rice’s Drug Store and one box gave me complete relief. I have been free from kidney trouble ever since.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t ; simply ask for a kidney remedy—get ! Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Wagoner had. Foster Milburn Co., Mfgrs.. Buffalo, N. Y. —Advt. Albert Strohm left today for Lisbon.

SHORTHORN CLUB For Boys and Girls Will lie ; 11 Started by the Decatur ‘ . .. a Association (1 __ f PURE BRED HEIFERS ti Will be Sold doling People < for Various Prices from I * • 1 S2OO to $750. |, At the annual meeting of the Deca- , tur Shorthorn association some time , ago, it was decided to begin a boys’ j and girls’ calf club this fall and plans , were at once made for it. The members of the association are doing all , in their power to make it a success and it is sure to be of great benefit to all w'ho join, both in financial returns and in experience with live stock. Here is a fine chance for the boys and girls to have the privilege of feeding and caring for a fine, pure bred, Shorthorn heifer and to make a little profit too, if they have reasonable luck. The association wishes to have all the boys and girls who want to join the club send in their applications at once, as the men who will purchase the- heifers must know very soon just how many will be wanted, and what priced heifers to buy. Any boy or girl in Adams county under 21 years of age is eligible to membership in the club. The heifers are to cost from S2OO to $750, depending upon the wishes of the applicant. The may be paid for at once, or, if the applicant wants to give a properly secured note for part or all of the amount, arrangements have been made with all the banks in the county to accept it. The heifers are to be selected by a purchasing comfnittee made up of members of the association, so those wanting one will reieive the benefit of the judgment of good cattle men." After being fed next winter and the following summer the heifers should be in fine shape for showing, so the association plans to have a show at that time, only members of the club being eligible to show animals. They will be judged by a competent judge, and cash prizes will be given. After the show, they will be sold at public auction, the owner reserving the right to bid off his or her own animal. They will be sold with calf, and different members of the association have volunteered the services of their herd bulls without any fees. Boys and girls, here is a fine chance for you to have a good Shorthorn heifer that you will enjoy feeding and that you will be proud to fit up for the show in about a year from now. The experience will do you lots of good and you will be well repaid for your work. Send in your application at once to the secretary of the association: L. M. Busche, Monroe, Indiana, giving your name, address, location of your home, your age and about how much you wish to pay for a heifer. Don’t put it off, as the purchasing committee wishes to begin looking for suitable heifers immediately. If you wish further information, just write the secretary.—Contributed. Plan Community Line Farmers Subscribe Money for Freight Line to Connect at Decatur. Willshire. 0.. Sept. 3—Thirty-two farmers residing southwest of Willshire. a majority of them in Adams I county, Indiana, have had their premises connected up with the Linn Grove ’ electric light plant, and so well satisfied are they with electric service. that they are investigating the advis- ’ ability of building a community, freight traction line, to connect with the Decatur-Ft. -Wayne line at Decatur. Sixteen farmers have subscrib- ( ed sufficient money to pay for the portion of the line that wijl pass through 1 or along their farms. Bad public highways and the desire to take advantage of a larger market for the farm products is given as a reason for wishing to make the experiment.

DEMAND AMUSEMENT A Berne citizen writes us protesting against the fact that there is a detrimination to keep picture shows, tent entertainment and similar amusements from showing there and declaring that many citizens in that good community would like to see a different attitude. The following letter was recently posted at the post-, office in Berne: As a stranger in your city while having a few. hours to pass away, I naturally turned to some amusement' to wile away the hours. But imagine my surprise when I discovered that ; such a clean wide-awake looking little town at Berne didn’t even boast j of a “movie” show. What do the young folks do after working from eight to ten hours every day on the farm or in a factory? Surely there

To begin with, Velvet Tobacco, in its jolly red tin, has a wholesome generous look to it. Nothing namby-pamby about it A red-blooded tin full of red-blooded tobacco, for red-blooded folks. Open it up—and you get the fragrance that Nature stored in the tobacco during eight changing seasons, while it mellowed in great wooden hogsheads. And say! It’s great!

s should be some sort of recreation for them —not even a reading room or' library. Andrew Carnegie, the late ( donor of’the famous public libraries won the love of millions by Ills generosity in installing free reading rooms of the highest moral and educational standard to any who asked him. I One' of the thousand books that could ! always he found in his selections was i the mortal story of the South before the war by Harriet Beecher Stowe — a book read by your grandparents, your father and my father and with; ' out a doubt read by you, namely the { story of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Some : people seem to think that this show should not be allowed to be given to the people of Berne. Why should ■ such an uplyiug educational historical story be barred from an American ' public, Every man. woman and child knows that there isn't a thing said

'or done that could offend the most fastideous and 1 can say without fear or contradiction that Uncle Tom’s i Cabin is the cleanest, sweetest, most wonderful story ever told, and any ; one —1 don't care who —that can con- ■ scientiously object to an entertainment of this sort is either a crank I or poor specimen of human and American nature. You study it and read it in your public, schools, so why should a characteristic portrayal of history be thought degrading to any ’ person with a good, clean mind.
