The people of this community, of the county, of northeastern Indiana should back the Decatur sugar plant and assist them in securing some protection from the state of Indiana for otherwise there will be no development of this great industry in the state. On the other hand if a little effort to encourage them is:, made, there will be a large invest- j ment of capital in the sugar business , over Indiana.

The hospital board will probably wait until the middle of summer to start the building and this it seems is a wise and proper proceedurc. The cost of construction and material has declined somewhat and by the time mentioned, will have reached a more normal condition and the board fools that in spending the public’s money, they should be as careful as though it were their own private business. This is the right spirit and will secure for them the entire support of the people. Any way we have passed the period for the excursion of ‘ brighter minds” to Marion, Ohio. Just what the result of all this spilling of brains will be we must wait for but any way its over and now the president-elect can do as he pleases with the information thus received. It is whispered that most of the conferences held, had to do with who would be selected for the various jobs, rather than what the needs of the people are and what ought to be done to relieve the serious business situation now existing. The number of bills presented at each opportunity in the house and senate indicates that most of the boys had their ears stuffed with cotton when Governor McCray urged them to pass but few laws and make

them good ones. Most men when j elected to the legislature, immediately feel they have been called to save th estate and that the only means by which that can be done is to fill the statute books with a lot of laws that make it impossible to live and do business. Some day we will have to wipe it all out and start over. We have found no one who favors the rule established some months ago that refuses information as to the location of a lire after the alarm has sounded. The fellow who is a mile from his residence or place of business and hears the whistle feds like saying things when refused tine answer to his “Where's the fire?” The public is entitled to this service we are sure and we know' they want it. They don't like the present method ana after all, it’s there business too. Why not change this rule, so it will meet the approval of every one? Just why has the department of conservation in this state taken the sugar factory as tiie “goat” when every one knows that practically every stream in the state is polluted and that every industry in the state contributes to this? The factory, here is a splendid institution and means So much to this community that every citizen has an interest whether he knows it or not. The taxes for. this institution alone this year is $27,000. If that amount is taken away the money must be made up. The Fort Wayne News says the action by the sugar company is a bluff., which is further evidence they don't know what they are talking about for we happen to know it isn’t Eve. y one should do their pt oat to

’ prevent anything which will interfere with the progress of this company. The I will make every effort during the .'next year to iitWrovo this commuu- ’ ity. this being the spirit manifested > * * last evening, marking the close of the first year and the start of the new one. The past year has been j rather an eventful one and tire association has many duties outlined for the next twelve months. The re-elec-tion of the old board and the same I officers, due to the efforts of the other I men mentioned for the places shows confidence and we believe a desire to do whatever is necessary to help. New ouarters will be opened soon and meetings held frequently, committees will be named and every source of activity, looking towards a better and busier organization will be tried. The membership is now 127 and this should be doubled during the year. Every citizen in Decatur and surrounding country should immediately become associated with this body and not only assist by paying dues but

:by offering suggestions. The organization is ’ sound financially and is 1 trying to do a great work. They ask your assistance. * THE COURT HOUSE NEWS • «*«**«**«*****«**» Smith li.

The last will and testament oi Franciesek Tananiewicz, better known here as Frank Tanviß, was tiled today. After providing for the payment of debts and funeral expenses, he gives fifty dollars to Father Schuetz foi masses, fifty dollars to his daughter. Mary Haley ami the balance of his es tate to his son, Alexander W. Tanan ic-wic;., who is also authorized to make transfer of any real estate without other authority or order of court.

FARM AXIOMS

Business and home life on the farm are one and inseparable—this makes /arming different from every other business, and the farm home different from every other home in the world. Farm families do not realize the magnitude of their opportunities to live 1 happily witliin the boundaries of their I own home. g Among the qualities that a real farmer must possess, these three stand suptnere: The will and the power to work, the virtue of standing on ones iftwn feet and the ability to wait for and accept gracefully whatever uatire has to offer. To know the cost of a crop, one must keep an accurate record of the time spent upon it by each man and by each beast. How many farmers in inir community do this? If you were given the opportunity to make the p.’ice on your saleable products, and you certainly will some day, how would you know what kind of a price to make without knowing the cost of production? One of the commonest causes oi farm failures has been a lack of business methods! A farmer can take Fi lesson from his city cousin along fihat line. ’The public sale is u popular and profitable method of advertising a pure-bred live, stock business. By care- . tul co-operation small live stock breedtors may consolidate their herds to be sold in one sale ring. \ _____ The fa rmer should be alive to every 1 legitiinafip means oi making himself

and his products better known and their quality appreciated. There la no better medium than our local paper. The successful farmer must be a good advertiser, with something good to advertise. If tiie local merchants would fail to doxjiis «o>ould surely brand him as a tread one. • Co-operative marketing takes various forms but almost invariably pays. A farmers automobile is a sign, not of extravagence. but. of the wise use of modern means for increasing itis efficiency belli in work and in play. His tractor in its bulwark of strength signifies his ambition to be equal or greater than his task. Any activity that brings the members of a community together, weatuear in fun or in earnest, or both is a sign of progress. If every farm woman was given m complete an equipment for her work as the average farmer has for his,' there would be more happiness and j fewer farm failures in the world.

The way to teach your boy to farm la to make it interesting. This means that the ‘‘why" must be explained us well us the "how." There is no better place whereon to raise children than' the farm. It should be maintained therefore, as to hold them und their interest there. The farm Is the home and support of all who live on it. Why not give each, down to the very youngest, his or her share in its development am) operation, Col. Roppert says: “Savu the calf for yourself and lose the boy." You are right, Col. You not only hit the nail on the head, but you drove it home. Wo farmers dig around for weeks lat a clip to find a balanced ration,
