Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. The greatest advertising campaign' ever known in the history of the world is now being made by hundreds of; manufacturers of national products as ! well as by the greatest merchants in . the land . They realize that this is the time to get great results from the | Use of printers’ ink. and that in addition they are building for the future, i The local merchant should do like- j wise. If you wish to ascertain how popu-l lar the new tax law is you can do so by asking the opinion of any person I from any part of the state with the assurance that it will be condemned. On every hand yesterday at the state : fair we heard the tax and road laws torn to shreds and the makers of such a burdensome statute scorned. One leading republican said “The governor has certainly mussed things up in Indiana with his tax and road laws; they are unsatisfactory and will not stand the test, the people' will upset them next year, have no ‘ doubt.” Those who have their ears to the ground agree with him. We presume that the people of this county are expected to return fervent thanks to the men in power at Indianapolis for granting three of the six roads petitioned for but some how or other there seems to be a disposi- j tion here that since we have to pay the bills ourselves and in addition give the state board our automobile and inheritance taxes and an additional ten cent levy to build roads, that awe must travel many miies to see, that we don't owe much to those who would thus place us under everlasting obligation. Centralized power is poor dope to feed the independent Hoosiers of Adams conty, and the more we get of it the less we > I like it. The visit of President Wilson to ■ Indianapolis yesterday was in n-j senee a political event.

President WilI son is not a politician. He never was. I He does big things in a big way, and his appeal to the citizenship of this country now, is deserving of the most 1 j careful thought. ) It the demonstration given President 1 Wilson in Indianapolis yesterday is ' indicative of the attitude of the people, I they are for him and the cause ho represents. A hundred thousand people . cheered him as he motored through the city and almost as many more yelled a welcome as he entered the I fair grounds. The colliseum, which | seats 12.000, people was packed w’ith more than twice that number and they I cheered and they cheered and apI plauded him at every opportunity. His speech was that of a grdat man i for a great cause and he unhesitating- ' ly said that he was making his report 1 to the American people, to whom only he felt responsible. It was a memorable occasion and those who witnessed it will never forget it. - The rather startling statement, news to many of us. is made that each i opening school day brings a total of many serious accidents over the land when children are run down by automobiles. The youngster- are filled with other thoughts than watching the crossings and streets. Their minds are upon the necessities of preparing for school, securing books and pencils, j rushing to school, to store and to home. We have no record of tin \ statistics that will support the state ment, but it will be well for every automobile drivr to use exceeding care at this time, and for parents and teachers to call attention of the chil dren to the dangers. In many schools the traffic law’s are taught the chil dren that they may • the better care for themselves and the idea is not so bad. BASEBALL ’DOPE” Yesterday's hero — Whitted.

HOUSING PROBLEM IN JAPAN GROWS SERIOUS (United Press Service) Tokyo—(By Mail) —The seriousness of the housing situation in the big cities of Japan may be judged from the fact that recently one of the trans-1 Pacific liners brought 130 passengers for Yokohama when not a single room was to be had at the leading hotels of Yokohama or Tokyo. The new arrivals had to take what they could get at the obscure hotels and at the Japanese intis. The hotels are crowded with resident guests unable to find houses. Many families, coming to Japan are' obliged to put up at hotels or with some newly-made friends for months before they can find suitable places to rent.
