Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter, THE PROBLEM AHEAD: — Fort Wayne, complaining of con-1 tamination of the St. Mary's rivet by the discharge of poisonous waste from a sugar factory at Decatur,, is apt to overlook her own part in river contamination and take little note of the problem that lies ahead. All of Fort Wayne's sewage goes into the Maumee river. That stream winds a sluggish and tortuous course from tliis city to the Ohio state line and thence onward toward Lake Eric. It is simply an element of luck that for a great distance no town has its seat immediately upon the banks of that stream. Were the siiuation otherwise, we should long ago have begun to listen to angry and aggressive complaint of our own part in river contamination.* Nor i- it unlikely that we shall sooner ®r later hear hostile complaining of our discharge I of sewage into the Maumee. And if not directly out of that our problem bo crystallized, it may come frkni general state regulations designed to j prevent the contamination of water courses or from federal interference] with like nuisances and dangers. In any event, it will not be an idle concern that looks to a future contingency of the sort and considers what measures will the better meet the situation. Sewage disposal by scientific methods has made immense strides within the past two or three decades and even within very recent years some of the urost effectual developments have been made.* That Fort Wayne at some time within the measureable future will be compelled to turn her attention practically to some solution of her sewage prob-

''km other than the easy Way of pour- 1 ing its streams into the natural water courses here Is not a gratult- . ous apprehension. The time comes on when the problem wdll have to be . dealt with. It will mean a great ex ! ; "i.,e and it is not at all too soon to 1 gin a tentative consideration of naeds and a weighing of possible . financial liabilities.

A TICKET SALE For Dr. Buxton Lecture Starts Today by Pupils of the Public Schools TO BE DELIGHTFUL As Well as InstructiveWill Give Free Lecture to High School Students Pupils of the public schools will have charge of the sale of tickets toi the Dr. Buxton lecture on “The Paradise of the Pacific" to be given at the gym on the evenings of November IS and 19th and will start the canvass today. We believe those who have heard Dr. Buxton will agree that a real treat is in store for the people of this community. He is a talented speaker with a knowledge of affairs and his year in the Hawaiian Islands have fitted him to describe the many attractions of that paradise. To show his appreciation of the work of the school pupils he will lecture to them on the same subject during the same week, probably on Thursday afternoon, thus giving the high school students the opportunity to hear his views on the Pacific Islands. The public should patronize this . event, for it will be a very instructive as well as a very pleasant one. t GREAT TIME AT CULVER Joseph Laurent and Dallas 'Brown, who spent Saturday and Sunday at Culver attending a conference of post commanders and adjutants of the American Legion, returned home Monday and report a fine time.

S BURNING. ECZEMA Apply Zemo, the Clean, Antiseptic Liquid—Easy to Use j —Does Not Stain Greasy salves and ointments should not be applied if good clear skin is wanted. From any druggist for 35c, or SI.OO for large size, get a bottle of Zemo. When applied as directed it effectively removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns, wounds and chafing. It penetrates, cleanses and soothes. Zemo is a clean, dependable and inexpensive antiseptic liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you have ever used is as effective and satisfying. The E. W. Rose Co., Cleveland, 0,
