Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The hustling farmers of this community are putting in some real “licks" these days and indications are that Adams county will be a little ahead of the average county. Production is what we need. The city council is trying to find a way to build or remodel the power plant and are doing everything possible towards that end, knowing that Decatur will not grow unless we take carg of the factories and industries that are here. Every person in the community should be willing to help them. It the gas supply gives out in Decatur and the good housewife is unable to prepare the meals for the reason that the kitchen is not equipped with stoves adaptable to other uses than artificial gas, we would suggest the giving of an old fashion ed barbeque and invite the community. It may come to that if the present supply is not used wisely. The problem of hauling coal from the railroad tracks to the water works plant has not been definitely decided, but the councilmen are working on several plans and will act in the matter in the interest of the taxpayers. With coal being quoted at seven dollars per ton at the mines the job of managing the power plant is becoming quite a business problem. Dr. Carleton McCulloch, the demo eratic nominee for governor, should poll a large independent vote. The doctor is well and favorably known in

But because you know its foundations, its history, its resources, its equipment. This Company invites your careful investigation. A Trust Company is what its name implies. It is something you can Trust. Not because you think it’s all right, or believe it is honest, or Suppose it to be capable, but because you can know absolutely its qualifications.

Marlon county, is nt the head of his profession, did his bit for Uncle Sam in the world war, and now comes to the people asking that he be elected governor. He is the sort of man that would serve the people well, and with the big scrap in the republican fold will poll many thousand (< republican votes. Bluffton Banner. A woman came into this office this morning and asked for yesterday’s pa- [ per, saying that she left home before i the mail reached there and wanted to look over the advertisements before she did her shopping. That's the actual truth and it proves that the people buy from the business house that advertises. This woman carefully i scanned the paper about ten minutes, then left the office and we noticed her go into a local business house whose ad appeared in Friday's Daily Democrat. You do the same thing y.-ur-self, so what's the use to give further proof that it pays to advertise. The republican papers are trying to make a martyr out of Governor Goodrich, pointing out that he never refuted or resented the attacks and I criticisms heaped upon him within the last three years, not only by the opposition, but by members of his own party and then point out that he should have started long ago to speak up. Well, maybe the governor could not defend himself and was perfectly willing to remain quiet. Heretofore the republican papers have not defended the governor to a great extent. but as the election is drawing near, they no doubt feel that they are forced to do it. Not much can be said in Governor Goodrich's favor, outside of that he is a good political boss, was able to increase his fortune during his tertn of office and that he is still for himself, regardless of how it affects the people or the taxpayer. Os course the democrats could not expect the leading republican papers of the state to heartily endorse the democratic state ticket from top to bottom, but the Indianapolis News, the leading republican paper in the middle west, speaks in a tone that commends the democratic nominees in a most favorable way and that is some concession for the News.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1920

Editorially it says: "The ticket nominated Thursday by the democratic convention is generally good, though it might be better in one or two particulars. Tagpart for senator, McCulloch for governor, and Foster for lieutenant-gov-eronr are all strong and well-quali-fied men, and the party is fortunate in having such standard bearers. The fitness of Miss Baylor, candidate for the office of superintendent of public instruction, is questioned by no one. Special mention should be made of Judge Bowser, candidate for judge of the supreme court from the Fifth district. He is an excellent lawyer, and has made a fine reputation as judge." APRIL EXPORTS AND IMPORTS DECLINE A drop of $135,000,000 in exports and of nearly $30,000,000 in imports in April as compared with the preceding month of March is shown by the totalvalue statement issued by the bureau of foreign and omestic commerce, of the department of commerce. Exports in April were valued at $(•>84,000,000, against $820,000,000 in March of this year and $715,000.00 ip April of last year. For the 10 months' period ending with April), exports amounted to $6,734,000,000 this year an increase of $1,034,000,000 over th< amount of $5,700,000,000 in the same period of the fiscal year 1919 Imports in April amounted to $495. 000,000. against $524,000,000 in March of this year and $273,000,000 in Apr" of last year. During the 10 months' period ending with April, imports were $4,254,000,000. an increase of $1,780. 000.000 over the amount of $2,474,000.000 in the 10 months' period of 1919. Imports of gold during April formed the largest monthly total for several years. amounting to $50,000 000 against $17,000,000 in March and $7 000.000 in March and $7,000,000 in April a year ago. During the if months’ period of the fiscal year, imports of gold were $110,000,000. againrt $35,000,000 in 1919. Exports of gold during April were $44,000,000. approx! mately the same as for previous months of this year, compared wit! exports of less than $2 000 in April of 1919. In the 10 months' period, exports of gold amounted to $543,000,000 against $32,000,000 in the same period a year ago. The imports of silver in April amounting to $11,000,000. and the ex ports, amounting to $17,000,000, were nearly the same as the average for previous months this year. SEND MANUSCRIPTS A number of Palmer Method manjuscripts in penmanship were sent t> jthat company today for grading by W Guy Brown, principal of the Junior high school. It is expected that this year there will be more than thirty diplomas granted in the seventh and eighth year work in this city. Miss Grace Coffee, the teacher, in this department, has brought out a wonderful improvement in the work of the pupils. Besides the diplomas, there will also be numerous honorable mention" of the work of the pupils. When the certificates are returned the names of the winner* will be given in this paper. SHE FEELS FINE NOW Aches and pains often indicate kidneys out of order. Your kidneys surely need help — and quickly when your hands or feet are swollen and you feel dull and sluggish, lose your appetite and your energy and there is a pulfy look under the eyes. Mrs. L. Gibson, 12th and Edison St., LaJunta. Colo., writes: "My kidneys were giving me a .great deal of trouble for sometime. I took Foley Kidney Pills and they I helped me right away. I feel fine now." , Sold everywhere. The dragon fly is one of the swiftest insects. Mecca Theatre TONIGHT “A Favor to a Friend” A five-reel Metro production featuring Emmy Wehlan.

DEFEAT__CONVOY Local High School Base Ball Team Defeated Convoy in Yesterday’s Clash BY A SCORE OF 10 TO 7 Locals Play Fine Game— Go to Bluffton Monday —Garrett Wednesday Having suffered a string of defeat ! during the last several weeks, the De catur high school base ball team broke ' the ice yesterday afternoon, they hav ing journeyed to Convqy, Ohicf, where they crossed bats with the Convoy high school nine, and defeated them by the score of 10 to 7.

The locals then tightened up, displayed some real base ball, obtaining a lead . over their opponehts, the score at the eighth inning being 9 to 1.

White and Myers formed the local battery, both performing in regular style. Every member of the team was on their toes during the entire game, and all performed very nicely.

They will play the Garret high school in this city Wednesday. - — NEVER SAW ANYTHING BETTER !
