•t made by that body, lie admits his record Is great. Then why all this defense? >. it The dismissal of Secretary Lansing is now taken us positive proof by partisan opposition papers that B the president is seriously ill, that his i) mind is effected and that he ought to ’ resign, hi due time Mr. Wilson will 5 no doubt answer his enemies and in I I away that will hit hard. One thing I is certain and that is that a lot of i people are securing much satisfac tion from the fact that the president is in such condition that his physician will not permit him to tight. The spirit of a united Decatur was the biggest and best thing of last night's meeting of the Industrial association. When any man or set of men desires he can of course render almost helpless the Industrial organ ization. Why auy one should do this we can’t understand, why any person should want to. is beyond us. United we can go forward a long way while divided we have only trouble. It is right that we have our opinions on the various questions and they should be openly expressed and earn■stly discussed, but they should not ‘be carried to that point where we divide our power and our strength That’s our big asset and by that we advance. There are various opinions on the best way to solve the power problem in Decatur. A few believe one way and a few another but the great majority of our people as we find it are not so much interested in how it is done as they are in doing something that will assure more electric current that will properlv take care of the! * | t situation here. This can be done some wav and the rights and interI i ests of Decatur properly guarded. No i one wants any rights of the city giv- 1 1 en away. They expect the city ofli-' ‘ cials to protect those rights. They must do this and furnish power and it’s no easy task to figure it out but it must be done and we believe it will be. < In a speech at Logansjiort last Sat- ’ urday. Governor Goodrich declares ( that considerable of the criticism j within his own party against his ad- ' ministration comes from disappointed 1 republican office-seekers. “You will find in every county in Indiana republicans of considerable influence who have been disappointed because f .. . ....

RHE thing which iLjs make* people buy Golden Sun year in and year out is not a premium but it’ar fine flavor. It is all coffee, pure* fresh and wholesome. Your grocer sells it. Peddlers and mail order houses do not. The Woolson Spice Co. Toledo. Ohio they have not received the recognition which they have believed is due them.’’ This is in part true. But the governor must not take all of the criticism being heaped upon the state administration by republicans as entirely personal. It is directed against the republican legislature, and the methods and theories of republican leaders in the state, as well as against the state organization.— Huntington Press. TODAY ASH WEDNESDAY Today is Ash Wednesday, the day which marks the opening of the! season of Lent. The day was ob- ■ served in the Catholic church with' special services, a high mass being celebrated at 7:30 o’clock this morn-j ing which was well attended, and at which time the distribution of ashes took place. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the many kind friends for their kindness to my children, Q. E. Mount and wife and son Marker, during their sickness and the death of Mr. Mount. I realize that we can never be able to repay those dear tones for their kindness, but there is one who sees all things and will never forsake us, nor forget their kind acts. T. MARKER. Windfall. Ind. OUR DWINDLING BEEF-CATTLE (By A. L. Spellmyer) “The United States is heading toward bankruptcy in its beef-cattle supply,” declares A. L. Spelljneyer in The Country Gentleman of March 6th. “In 1907 our beef cattle numbered 51,566.000 and in 1919 the total had fallen to 44.355.000. In year 1907 there were 7.621.717 cattle and 1.763,574 calves slaughtered under government inspection. In 1919. with the available supply of cattle more than seven million fewer, we-slaught-ered 10.935.287 and 3.323,077 calves “Wo are expecting today somethin?like 44.000,000 cattle to supply roqnd 15.000.000 annually for slaughter, maintain numbers against loss an<’ increase production to keep pace with a rapidly growing population. Any veteran cattleman will tell you that it can’t be done.” | Drought, uncertain prices and rang’ hogging by the big outfits is driving the small cattle men out of the bust ness and yet the little cattleman off ers the biggest hope of replenishing the vanishing herds. "Steps must be taken to safeguard the cattlemen against loss. Therq ino time to waste, for it will require years to build back our beef herds t. n point where the supply can be de pended upon to meet th'- demands It is up to our legis!. ,rs tn turn n back from our man h toward bank ruptcy in beef cattle.” CARD OF THANKS Wo wish in this manner to than! our good neighbors and friends foi their help and kindness during ou l sickness.

CLOSE TO A FIRE Few of those in the audience at the high school gymnasium for the basketball game between the Phi Delta Kappas and Oswego quintet Monday night were aware that there was a lively time in the furnace room for a few minutes in pulling the tire from under the boiler. to avert what was feared to be a serious menace to life and property, it was about the close of the preliminary game that the discovery was made by the janitor that there was no water in the boiler, and the fire was yanked out of the furnace in double quick time. Smoke permeated into the gymnasium in a thin haze, but only a few were aware of the real significant* of the fact. It was explained that from the circumstances it was indicated that some one had permitted the water to drain from the boiler, but whether this was Intentional or through lack of understanding on the part of some one is not known, it appears more probable that the latter is the fuct. —Bluffton News.

B| I Our Job j As the leader of a great industry, Willard is held responsible, and g ■ rightly, for storage battery improvement, for storage battery serv.ee, and for giving all necessary help and information to the great car jLj. ■■ owning public. £ / * To make the new Willard battery owner s task easier in addition to our responsibility for the quality of material and workmanship we offer to all such as properly register the new battery at a Willaid Service Station, a 90-day service free of charge, with fin 1 and complete printed information on every point the owner needs to know. SS The Nation-wide Willard Service Organization was established an d * s ma i n t a i ne d for the car owner s benefit, to assist him in gett.ng ... ! a really trained service by men who know their job. The latest of many Willard contributions to battery improvement is the Still Better Willard with Threaded Rubber Insulation —an invention which entirely does away with what was previous y an most universal battery repair expense—reinsulation. Our one objective is the car owner's complete satisfaction, and this we pledge to those who make or sell motor cars and to the millions of men and J.Sk women who drive them.
