Another special contribution is the outline of the activities of the American Legion. Then there are the r vised automobile laws of the various states —and other suggestions for the guidance of motorists. Fastidious men will find a correct dress chart, and agriculturists can pore over the comparative crop reports for 1918-19-20.

On the very evening that the task was completed, the structure was deliberately bombed and in a few minutes was a smouldering ruin, with the bodies of men and women strewn about under the debris. A few days later work was started on a block of frame buildings. Lightning efforts resulted in a week’s time. But a half hour was enough to burn them down. These are two of the most speoacular scenes in the new Ince production, “Dangerous Hour,” which will be shown at the Crystal theatre for two days, tonight and Thursday. An unusually dramatic story is promised in the big picture, with the current labor unrest and the menace of Bolshevism as a background. Though the action is through a thrilling episodes employing hundreds of people, a tender love story runs through the plot involving a young misguided visionary and his more discerning New England sweetheart. The featured players are Lloyd Hughes and Barbara Castleton. They are supported by a notable cast. The film is a Paramount Artcraft and was detected by Fred Niblo.

DECATUR INDUSTRIAL ASSN.” This action follow-ed a very interesting evening of discussion and explanation by various members of the association and by Mr. Carmody, manager of the local plant for the sugar company and Mr. Dreggman of the general offices. Mr. Carmody told of the expenditure here this year of about one million dollars, explained die efforts of the company to meet, every obstacle and that many thousand dollars had been expended in efforts to take care of the plant sewage. His talk was clear, plain anu covered the ground nicely. Mr. Dreggman gave in detail the figures showing the expenditure of money; from this plant, since its establishment of the industry in Adams county in 1912. During that period more than six million dollars have been spent from this office. The business lias grown rapidly and steadily and the plant here is now one of the good ones, and as Mr. Carmody said has attracted nation wide attention from the fact that it is the only one in the state. For several years there has been more or less attitude on the part of a few to interfere with the operations of tlie plant because of the claim that the refuse from the factory Is detrimental to the fish in the St. Mary’s river. This has now reached a point where the officials and managers of the plant do not feel they should contract for beets under the present conditions though formerly this work was completed long before this. The representatives told their position modestly, without threats, with the plain statement that if Indiana does not permit the sugar industry to operate in the state and of course they

'While he wa3 eating, . the guests for a housewarming, which Mr. Fox had planned, began to arrive Mr. Coon did not need the ladder to help him, or Mr, r- ssuin, cither, nor did Mr. Squirrel, but, as It was there, they felt

it would not be polite to enter any other way, Mr. Possum started up first and behind him Mr. Coon. Then came Mr. Badger and Mr. Rabbit behind him, while Mr. Squirrel ran up the side of the ladder. When they were abenit half way up Mr. Dog, hearing a noise outside, went to the door, and of all the surprised creatures you ever saw, the guests were the most surprised, unless It was Mr. Dog. He forgot to bark for a second, he was so taken back. Then he recovered, and out of the door he went; but he was not used to going down a ladder, and on the first round he slipped and down he went. The guests started to Jump Just as Mr. Dog barked, but they were not out of the way when Mr. Dog fell, and down they all tumbled, Mr. Dog, Mr. Possum, Mr. Coon and Mr. Badger. Mr. Squirrel Jumped, too, but he Jumped for a limb of the tree and | was not in the mixup. He said it was | the funniest sight he e-er saw and Ihe had a fine view from where t he sat. But Mr. Rabbit said he was sure I his view of the affair was the best, j for, being nearest the bottom of the ladder when the tumble began, he was ! up and out of the way when they ail came down on the ground. “You could not tell who was who or which from the other,’* said Mr. Rabbit, later talking it over with Mr, Squirrel. It was a long time before Mr. Fox could make the guests believe he had not planned to have Mr. Dog at Ms housewarming, but when Mr. Squirrel told them that he had seen the bones on the floor and the kettle in the sink they finally forgave Mr. Fox. He decided the ground floor was the safest for him after all, and when lie was once again settled he gave a feast, and this time Mr. Dog was not there. (Copyright.)

FOR THE FARMERS • : Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Proposed Legislation. The legislative committee of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ associations while in session at Indianapolis had under consideration proposed legislation with reference to punseeds, highways, vehicles, taxation education, state constabulary and supervision of markets. It took preliminary action in these matters but did not make public its entire program, j The federation will he solidly behind j : a pure seed law that will furnish real protection. The farmers are fully aware of the weaknesses of some socalled seed laws and do not intend to encumber the Indiana Statutp books ! with a law of the leaky variety. They I will he just as solidly opposed to un- j enforceable, impractical and extrava-j gant bills whose value is doubtful or in any way experimental. Plans were outlined whereby every legislator will be fully infortped as to the attitude of the federation, and the farmers’ spokesmen will no doubt receive careful attention. A conference will be held at the Indianapolis office on Wednesday, January sth, which will consider the pure seed law. The mem- : bers of the federation grain commit- j tee, officers of the. Farmers' Grain Dealers’ association and representatives of the Indiana Experiment sfa-, (ion will attend. Secretary C. l!. ! Riley of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ association and President A. E. Reynolds of the National Seed Dealers’ association have been asked to have their respective organizations represented at Ihe conference. The standing live stock committee of the federation will be in session 1 1 on Monday, January 10th, to take action on matters coming under its jur 1 isdiction. The Indianapolis Union 1 stock yards will come in for its share 3 of attention and the live stock mar- ' keting agent will' have an interesting report to make. A uniform method of ' organization for live stock shipping ( associations throughout the state will probably be adopted. m «s . * 1 1~ i

The officers of the federation have been in communication with Indiana senators and representatives at Washington favoring operation of the Mus cle-Shoals nitrate plant and provision for potash supplies from Germany to relieve the present fertilizer situation which, because of prohibitively high prices, is operating to curtail agricultural production. These matters are now before congress and early action is not improbable. The federated marketing service is prepared to handle the pooled orders of the local units for Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia bituminous coa! and Pennsylvania anthracite. All local cooperative organizations placing , orders for coal will be eligible for rebates on the basis of the amount of business transacted. TO INCREASE SALARIES Indianapolis. Jan. 11.—A bill providing for a minimum salary of $5,000 for all circuit, superior, criminal and

probate court juries has been pre pared for introduction in the legis lature. The biil provides that judicial districts with a population of more than 150,000 the county commissioners may on a petition of twenty or more resident freeholders increase the salaries of judges above the minimum in a specified amount not exceeding $4,000. in judicial district of more than 50,000 population and less than 150,POO, the bill provides that increases over the minimum in any sunt not. exceeding $2,500 may be granted on petition. It also provides that in circuit courts of more than one county in which judges are required to hold court in each county, judges be allowed S6OO a year traveling expenses. Indiana judges- receive smaller salaries than the judges of almost any locality according to figures which have been prepared for use in argument on the bill.

FOR ITCHJUITORTURE Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo There is one remedy that seldom fails to stop itching torture and relieve skin irritation and that makes the skin soft, clear and healthy. Any druggist can supply you with Zemo, which generally overcomes skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples, rashes, blackheads, in most cases give way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes disappear overnight. Itching usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and dependable. It costs only 35c: an extra large bottle, SI.OO. It will not stain, is not greasy or sticky and is positively safe ior tender, sensitive skins. The E. W. Rose Co. Cleveland. O. STATEMENT CONCERNING THE NEAR EAST RELIEF The Near East Relief call for aid for tlie Armeniens is not the same as the Hoover-Literary Digest-European Relief appeal. There is no overlap of work the two and no competition. Both 1 are worthy and both ought to he sup- ! ported—but they are different. The Near East Relief operates mainly in Bible lands, in Asia, but includes also Russian Armenia in Europe. The European Relief appeal is for Germany Austria, Poland, and other countries of Central Europe. The above statement is made with a view to clearing the confusion that exist in many minds on the subject, cause or the other only; others will i give to both. But in either case they | have a right to know which cause, or causes, they are aiding when they give I their money, and to know that it goes as they intend. The undersigned is chairman of Near East Relief for this country. This organization was formerly known as the. Armenian and Syrian Relief and is aiding our friend and ally—Armenia in the crisis through which that stricken land is passing. The Red Cross formerly operated in Russian Armenia, but later turned over their work there to Near East Relief - that the latter organization was handling the Armenian problem in Asia efficiently and that it would be bast for it to take over the Armenian work. Contributions for Near East relief should be sent to Treasurer M. Kirsch, or to Thomas C. Day, state treasurer, 103 City Trust Bldg., Ind-

ianqpolis. i I Money sent to the Literary Digest | does not go for Armenia unless it >s 1 1 specificially designated NEAR EAST RELIEF. Some persons have sent ( money either to the Literary Digest, l to denominational boards or to other places not East relief agencies, } thinking they were sending it for the ( relief of Armenia. This money may yet be applied as .was intended, if the donors will send a written request to that effect to tlie place where they ' sent th money. Also will persons who have sent such money please notify 1 j the undersigned, giving the date. | amount, and the person or organiza--1 tion to which the money was sent .’ Near East relief is the subject of special appeals recently both by ProsI ident Wilson and Governor Goodrich. This appeal is not for a supplementary I meal a day, but for the only food that these children will receive. Then there is the additional element in the Armenian appeal that these people are suffering not. merely as a result of

economic conditions following a war. j but, are under the fiendish torture of the Turk as well. Add to this tiie fact 3 ‘ that they are thus persecuted because 11 of their Christian faith, and the arguv rnent is complete that the appeal of ” Armenia amounts to a preferred claim s upon American generosity—a “man- ‘! date” that we ennot well evade.
