Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. A better power plant on a new site means a reduced cost of production of power and light and a lower rate. The city can offer no better inducement to our people. As a business investment it is a good one. Several other industries can be secured for Decatur if we plan properly and keep on working. We are just getting started. If every one will boost this can boa great little city. Wouldn't you rather have it that way than to continue just a country town? Senator Lodge has decided that the League of Nations and the peace treaty is to be the principal issue of the campaign next yeai. I«et it go at that. 11 seems dreadfully wrong that we should have to await another election to do the thing that the people want, to take our place among the nations of the world after we have earned it on the battle fields. Lodge and Watson and New and others of their faith will find it some job to convince the people they dont know what they have been talking about. We believe the people of Decatur will support the council in their efforts to provide a city power plant that can furnish the necessary power and light for a city double our present size and have sdniethim? jn reserve. We cannot grow unless- we provide tho proper equipment with

which to go forward. The new plant will give It. The present plant is «t---pensive for every pound of coal must be hauled and there are other expensive difficulties to meet which will be done away with if a site Is secured along a railway spur and the river. Mr. McNaughton, a high class consulting engineer, has been employed to assist in preliminary planning and this Is right. Let's do it properly.

We are not building for a dav bet b> ten years from now and it means much to the present generation that s o mistakes are made. The improvemen. can be distributed as to cost ever a period of twenty years and th? burden will scarcely be felt. it’s time to do a little real thinking and to take steps towards a bigger and better Decatur. Are you for it? We have been getting our paper out late for three weeks past, due to a heavy rush of business and several other causes m which the public is not perhaps interested. We all have our problems these days and you are worried With your own. Believe us,

we have ours too. We are working out as best we can and hope to get back to the old schedule within a week or so. In the meantime we will do our best to get the paper to you as early as possible. Difficulties, apparently (insurmountable are being met each day by those who are trying to keep the wheels moving and it reminds us of an old friend who when told that Harry Gardner, the human fly, would scale the court house, said “Tain’t possible.” and after ho had witnessed it said, “Hain’t changde my mind.” When reminded that the feat had been performed before his very eyes, he declared "Well nobody but a darn fool would try it.” And that's about the way a fellow feels these days, but every thing is alright and we find the community has advanced, when an occasional check is made on accomplishments. FATHER-IN-LAW DEAD Mrs. Lough and children left on the 1:05 train for Bryant this afternoon, being called there by the death of her father-in-law, John A. Lough. Her husband went last night to be at l.is father's bedside. Advertise Your Sale in the Democrat.

ON SUGAR RATION i Four Pounds of Sugar a Month Will be Allotted to Each Person THE PRICE COMMITTEE Is Maping Out Program— Would Restrict Manufacture of Candy Indianapolis, Nov. 24—Indiana will go on sugar ration soon under orders on a sugar ration soon under orders of Stanley Wickoff, fair price commissioner for the state, he announced today. The ration will be four pounds per ... i

month. Candy and soft drink manufacturers will also operate with reduced supply. i Instructions will lie sent out Monday to fair price committees in every community telling them to go into retail stores in an effort to uncover cases where the dealers are charging prices in excess of the government limitations.

Families may have a thirty day supply of sugar without being cousid-' ered hoarders, Wickoff said. Mote than that will put the family under the ‘'hoarder” charactererization. At the time Wyekoc made this announcement, Louisiana cane sugar was retailing on the city market here at 22 cents a pound. Washington. Nov. 34- Attorney General Palmer today began Getting up machinery for absolute control of sugar production and sale under authority of tho footl administration, conferred on him by president Wilson. Palmer went to work with the aim of providing "plenty of sugar at a fair price.” This is expected to be 12 cents a pound, an advance of approximately one cent a pound retail for beet sugar over prices now labeled as fair by palmer. The Attorney General will ignore requests of refiners i and wholesalers to charge 15 cents, ■ it was stated emphatically at his office. Palmer's first move will be to devise new regulations to govern methods of wholesalers and refiners under license issued by the food ad , ministration. Now clothed with the . I authority to withdraw these licenses. Palmer will have indirect power to r fix prices, it is pointed out. s — CARLISLE STILL AT LARGE. (United Press Service) > Denver, Colo, Nov. 24 —-(Special io Daily Democrat.)— Baffling Bill Carlisle was still absent without leave from Rawlins, Wyo„ prison today. The phantom train robber was last reported in a telegram sent from Claremore, Okla., as if enroute to Texas, in a letter to his pursuers, mailed in Denver, and in another letter sent from

Omaha. The Denver note saying, | “Please give my regards to the Union | Pacific officials” was in Carlisle’s handwriting. Detectives here combed the city for the train robber. Th" other clues were disregarded as the work of practical jokers. FRANCE WOULD BE WILLING. (United Press Service) Paris, Nov. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat) -If the American govern- , ment insists on exhuming the bodies of American soldiers buried in Frani e, the French government probably will accede, but opinion in French official . circles is decidedly against any such I plan, it was learned authoritatively today. France elieves it is more democratic to have the dead of all nations who fell in a common cause, to rest together in France, it was said. 1 France will consider it her sacred duty I to care for their graves with the greatJ est reverence. The expense of exhit ' mation also would be great, it was , pointed out and only wealthy relative:, could afford to have bodies of them soldier dea. brought home unless the expense was borne y the government. This, the French officials eclared, would be sure to cause ill feeling among poor persons. $ $ S S—WANT ADS EARN—S $ $ * Apply Zemo the Gean, Antiseptic Liquid—Easy to Use —Does Not Stain Creasy salves and ointments should not be applied if good clear akin is wanted.
