Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-el.'iss matter The sale of Christmas Seals for the Red Cross will start at once and the people should not confuse this with any of the many drives made. Thou 1 sands of people use Christmas seals. Why not then use the Red Cross marker, which is handsame and attractive and carries the good cheer, of the season, yet the funds go for a worthy cause? Buy Christmas seals, all you can and tell your friends , about it. The people of Indiana will know within the next few months just how unjust the new tax law’ is for they « will find the levies almost unbearable ami on top of this the centralized commissions are now planning to xtdd millions in appropriations. They are running wild and it will require the unseating of some in ailthority j very probably though Warren T. McCray. the governor elect, seems to be trying to Stop the orgy. The trouble is he will find he is Helpless for he is in the hands of those who insist it is right to tax the people for their benefit. Governor McCray will not make ap- • pointments until the session of the legislature has closed and this decision is a very sensible one. Usually the appointments are made immediately and a force of unexperienced assistants attempt to conduct the affairs of the state at a time

We believe the people of the state favor better educational facilities' and will approve any reasonable means of securing them bat when the organization now boosting this movement include in their resolutions, the commission tax and distribution of school funds by a few men and the providing of text books, theyj injure their cause more than they help it. Centralized power is obnoxious to a majority of the people in this country who detest ‘'bossing” ltd will never stand for Jit long. We still believe that the best means of aiding the schools is to give the ; earlier his real pittce in the com- | munity. ■ I The Red Cross drive, the fourth nnual roll call in Adams county, began Sunday and the canvass in this < ity, was completed within a few iiours, the results being very satisfactory. Undoubtedly the cause is a just one and deserving of your ap-1 proval and assistance. This campaign is one to secure your renewal as a member and the funds are expended here at home for the maintainence of the county nurse and in giving assistance where and when needed. The campaign will continue throughout the week over the county and it is hoped that every one of the tour thousand members in Adams county will renew their allegiance i > this great cause. A siring of eleven horses, driven; from I. xington because of the exorbitant charges, will be housed at Bellmont ptirk for the winter and perhaps indefinitely.

——- — * by the expressions of confidence in the management. Be came here Saturday and within an hour hud. closed the contract. He will move his family here and become a citizen of Decatur, showing that it pays to be square and that the enterprise ’ now shown at Bellmont means much ' for the future prosperity of this comi munity. The good part of it is that these new citizens ure sure to be pleased with the environments at 1 Bellmont and the treatment given I them here, it pays to be courteous, j honest and hospitable. The efforts made a year ago to secure new industries for Decatur havej proven more than worth while. Fortunately the factories induced to locate here are of the kind that ©iterate during good times and bad and enjoy a steady growth. They means much for future Decatur and if given the support to which they are rightfully entitled, will make this a better city. While other towns of .dmilati size are now suffering because of the unemployed men and ! women, we are enjoying good times, every plant operating and every one ■•• ho really wants a job has no difficulty in finding one. if we would secure one or two more factories this winter we would sure be going along tine and dandy and there would be absolutely no question as to the outi ome. ++++ * + * CARING FOR POULTRY <- Hy <' •h The County Agent + •J-4.4- + + + 4- + 4- + + 4- + -! in a short time the cold weather will intake ft necessary to keep the poultry it' the poultry house practically all the time. Don't pen the old hens up in a little house, with little or no light ino ventilation, a littered floor, fee 1 j tltem a few ears of corn occasionally, i put scraps from the table and cold ! water in a pan and still expect them Ito lay eggs. Winter egg productioi i is a difficult problem at the best, but •• ith eggs at the present high prices lit might pay to study out the best j metod for getting more of them. Plenty of windows in the south side lof the poultry house are necessary by a'l means. Sunlight warms and drie: he floor, as well as makes it more ■ < < mfortable for the hens, and the comlortable hen is the best-laving hen. Ventilation is also essential. If ne ■ I essary, ventilation can be provided . I tacking pieces of burlap over open a indows. Experiments have shown | that poultry does better when openings are left in the walls of the build j ing and covered with burlap than when closed tightly. Poultry can stand ;> onsiderable cold if on round, wooden I perches and well protected from liratights. Probably the most important factor lin w inter egg production is correct feeding. The egg is made up of a number of different substances, and unless these are furnished in the ration eg,, I'annot be produced. The yolk is made iup mostly of fat which can be furnished by corn or other grains. How'ever, the white of the egg is chiefly j protein, so some protein-containin; leed. such as milk, tankage or meal I scraps must be provided. If avail 'able, some sort of green feed will give I good results. A fairly satisfactory ration can be ' made up as follows: 10 pounds corn, , pounds oats, 3 pounds bran. 3 pound . horts and 1’. 2 pounds meat scrap or tankage. This furnishes plenty o: I Iced for 100 hens for one day. Tin I grain should be fed as a sciutch feed land the other feed mixed ami fed as a j mash. If butter-milk or skim milllean be substituted for the tankage oi meat scrap, 3 gallon., daily will fm i iiish plenty of protein. Chiropractic is the boon to humanity. It has helped others, it will help von.
