Entered at the postoffice in Deca-' tur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Mr. Conter, supervisor ot the eighth district, for the census, reports a shortage of four enumerators. It has been a whale of a job to secure people to do this work, though they can make fairly good wages. It makes a fellow wonder how we will get township assessors this year, at which tlie pay is only about half that ot the census enumerators. The county council will meet next week and one of the things they should quickly decide is to increase the appropriation for salary of the county superintendent. Its wrong to • ask a man to do the work necessary to take care of the schools at one half the price paid for common labor. 7ne appropriation should be sufficient to assure the coininuance of a man efficient to handle the job. The "best legislature in fifty years" already famous for its tax and road laws and a few other equally as unpopular are to have two sessions within the next few weks. If that don't fix’em the governor can call another about September to finish the job but in our opinion he has gone far enough now to insure plenty of trouble for his party. The annual message from Mayor Yager to the city council is full of enthusiasm and should help create the necessary "pep'’ on the part of every citizen, to do the things we must do if we grow. The mayor favors the new power plant, the ornamental lights and the taking of any steps necessary and possible for the betterment of Decatur. He praises those who have cooperated during the year in assuring progress, gives a deserved boost to the street commissioner, members of the council, other employes and the good citizens of the best town in the world. • The “string of Stars” —newspapers of this state —just a few days ago prated much and loudly about the love feast Billy Hays put on the Monday after Christmas, when Senator Watson, Governor Goodrich and all the animals ate bread at the same table and soaked same in the same pot of coilee. Yea, it was some love feast! The same “string of Stars” this morning tell, in type of black, of the big fight that is on between Goodrich and Watson for control of the state organization. Surely, the love feat;’ will have to be called in f WE’U. WARRANT WHeN) I JUR WORK YOU'VE TRIED* i THAT YOU WILL BE" X GUITE jL The conn.deto Electric.

SUFFERING OF YOUNG WOMEN This Letter Tells How it May be Overcome —all Mothers Interested.

S. 18th St., & 10th Avenue, Fort ‘ Dodge, lowa. Girls who are troubled as Miss Man- f delko was, should immediately seek restoration to health by taking Lydia E.

These , letters will be opened, read and an I wered by a woman and held in strict confidence. esslon again—probably a one-day i session.—Bluffton Banner. Os course it will cost something to secure ornamental lights for the treets in Decatur which lead to the railroad stations but its worth it. What is your impression when you go into a strange city at night and find I pts streets dark and gloomy looking? Is that, the idea you want the visitors ' to Decatur to have? We don't believe you will stop because there is a slight; , cost attached to securing the improve’ i lent. It will be up to the property owners to say whether they want them or not. If you don't you can beat it by refusing to sign the petition and secure a few neighbors to; join you. There is nothing compulary. Its up to you, good citizens. Democrats of Adams county should I I egin their organization. There is no 1 reason why every member of the 1 arty should not get behind his leaders ; nd get back to the old time majorities. It can be done if the proper mt -rest is manifested and it should be done by those who do not favor centralized control now in existence in tais state. If you want a road you i lust send a delegation to Indianapolis if you want a bridge or a new school 1 ouse or some other improvement you i lust secure the o. k. of the public i ervice commission, the approval of t ie tax board and fool around a couple cf months at your own expense and then maybe you are turned down witli a discourteous sneer. Its time to wake up. TONIGHT'S PRAYER SERVICE Rev. A. H. Saunders will talk at the prayer meeting at the Preebytei 1c.n church, subject “The Church ; wakened by tiie call for workers. Hiss Romanic Murray will be the soloist. The meeting is a special one for the young people of the church and will be very interesting. The Monday' and Tuesday night services were tine and were well attened. Be sure to i ome tonight.
