SHOWS DECREASE X All Classes of Live Stock in Indiana Show a Falling Off Over Last Year VALUE TAKES TUMBLE j Automobile Takes Place of Driving Mare — Other Stock Also Drops All classes of live stock in india.ia show a considerable decrease in rum bers compared with a year ago accord ing to the report issued today by the co operative crop reporting service for Indiana. Horses and mules have de • reused 2 per cent., milk cows 1 per cent.; all other cattle and swine sbov a decrease of 8 per cent, and shear 10 percent. The total decrease ii: meat animals being 535,000 head. The report follows: Horses and mules on Indiana farms January 1, 1921, show a decrease oi 2 per cent, compared. with the Banjo date last year, the estimated number, of horses being 788,000 and mules 93,000; the numbers last year w > \ estimated at 804,000 horses and 95,0-ii’ mules. The family driving horse ha; been, almost entirely supplanted bv the automobile, while trucks and trap tors have to some extent displac") the work animals. A severe decline in the price of horses also influenced farmers to stop breeding their mares The average value of horses aa.= dropped approximately sll per he>’ during the year and the total value el all horses and colts in the state is ec tmiated at $69,408,00. The average value of mules has declined approx! mately $lB per head during the yenand the total value of mules and mui) colts te estimated at $9,882,000. The decrease its the number of milk cows on farms January 1, 1921 is only 1 percent, compared with last year, which is the first time a decrease has been shown for many years. The total estimated number this year is 727,000 while last year it was 734.000. The average value is $65 this year compared with SBB last year or a decrease of $23 per head. The total value of all milk cows is estimated to be $47,255,000. Dairy cows were milked approximately 300 days during the year and averaged 8 quarts of milk per day for the period milketl. The number of all other cattle on farms January 1, 1921, decreased 8 i percent, compared with the same date last year. This includes’ all cattle except cows kept for dairy purposes and the total number is estimated to be 710,000. Last year the number was estimated to be 772,000. This large decrease is due principally to the severe decline in prices, which amounts to s2l per head for mature cattle, sl2 per head for yearlings and $8 per head for calves. The total value of other cattle this year is estimated at $30,930,000. X The number of sheep and lambs on farms January 1, 1921, is 10. percent. less than the same date last year, the total estimated number be* ing 960,000 compared wtih 1,067,000 last year. The average value is a little more than $5 per head less than last year and the total estimated value 56.700.000. Lambs decreased in value $3.40 per head; ewes decreased $5.70; wethers decreased $4.80 and rams decreased $6.50. The number of swine on farms January 1, 1921, was 8 percent, less than the same date last year, the total number being estimated at 4,209,000 compared with 4,575,000 last year. Had a census of brood sows been taken a much greater decrease would have been shown for that class of swjne. The average value this year was sl3 per head, while last year it was sl9, or a decrease of $6 per head. On this basis the total estimated value of all swine is $54,717,000. _ KSMg If HUNT'S Salv f»IU in 'hr tmtmnrt .W’TCH.BCZEI'tA./*' SINtIWORM.

"One day a friend persuaded my wite to take Tanlac and the results have been nothing less than wonder ful. Her troubles have not only en tirely disappeared, but she has actual ly gained twenty pounds in weight and now seems to be in perfect healta She has suffered for eight years with headaches, nervousness and loss o appetite and was in a badly run-down condition. She could not, eat much, had pains all through her body ami limbs and was so weak at times sb.r could hardly stand on her feet. Site was losing weight and gradually g ting worse all the time in spite of all we could do. x - "After seeing the splendid results my wife was getting 1 began taking Tanlac myself and before I had fin ished my second bottle, I was eating things 1 had not dared touch before ie a long time. I am now eating juot anything set before me and my appetite is fine. I suffered for five years with the worst kind of stomach iron ble and nervousnes indigestion, but it has relieved mo entirely. We bo i: owe Tanlac a great debt of gra’.l tude.” The above enthusiastic statement w; s made recently by Herbert O Peters, well-known citizen of Kansas City, Missouri, residing at 531 Wai nut street. Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith. Yager & Falk’s; in Herne at Stengel & Craig's; in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s and in Monroe at O. O. Hocker’s.

Tho program this promises to be a big one and will a battle from start to finish. Tr e ° Monroe teams are coming strong, thoj'n being accompanied by a large dele-1 gation of rooters, and one of the largest crowds of the season Is expected to be present. All local fans are requested to come early in order to secure a good seat, ;ind to make plenty of noise for the home team. The county tournament, which promises to be the most favorable attraction of the season will be held Friday and Saturday, in which all the high school boys, girls and eighth grade teams of the county will participate. The tournament this 1 year promises to lie most interesting and all teams are evenly matched, and each a claimant for the honors. Tickets for the event are to go on , sale either today or tomorrow; season tickets alone to be sold for the price of SI.OO, which entitle the hold- ; er to tho reserve seats for the entire tournainent. Single admission tickets i will be sold at the door before each 1 game. ' ANOTHER FAN INTERESTED. i ; The Spotting Editor, Democrat, Decdtur, Ind. Dear Sir: I was very much amused : by tlie article appearing in Friday night’s issue of the Democrat, in the Democrat, in which some well meaning fan ventured his opinion on the outcome of the County Tournament. I will admit that the dope is hard to figure but even though I can j not truthfully say that the basket, ball . games in this county have been followed by me for the last tour or five years, I really feel that this fafi is somewhat prejudiced and lias been following Itis own team too close and is having some trouble in recognizing the basket ball ability of his neighbors. In looking over the records of tho f teams this ye *r there is jnst one outstanding five and that is Monroe. 1 I have been convinced of this fact for i some time and the Monroe-Berne 5 game of last Friday night hasn t 3 changed my convictions one bit. Gen--3 eva does have the edge ou weight i and that is what won their game for - them against Monroe, but unless my ' idea of basket ball is entirely wrong i a different result can be expected 3 when Geneva and Monroe clash in 3 the tournament. I may be going a - little too far ahead in counting Det catur out of the tournament after ■ their first game with Geneva but Decatur will have to show better form than they have in tho last two or > throe weeks. My version is Look out for Monroe.” Nevertheless accidents may happen • and tlie dope bucket receive one ter- ’ ribld spill. Kirkland is not out of the ! race yet. Neither is Herne or Hart- , ford township, and they are required i to play but one game before ttye final ’ In my opinion (lie tournament is going to be a good one and every game will be worth seeing but the team that beats Monroe will deserve the championship, and it might happen, but. my money is now on the boys from the hub of the county and after ’the Decatur-Monroe game 'Monday ! night 1 am sure that some others will I wish that, they had their money placed likewise. I HOwever, I am good sport enough to applaud a good play, no matter which, team makes it and I hope that tho tournament will be carried out in a sportsmanlike way with the best te: in the victor. Sincerely yours, A BASKET BALL BOOSTER —— No Reduction in the Wages (Continued from page one) son of the American Federation of Labor> said today. Tlie executive council of the Federation will meet February 22. The following day two representatives from each of tho 109 international unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor will caucus here. President Samuel Gompers of the federation, who in a recent speech attacked employers who he said are trying to suppress labor's right to collective bargaining, will presid’d at both meetings.

The bill provides that tho shall appoint fiva members to commission not morif than thre ’ whom shall be of the same political faith. It would be the duty of the commission to servo without compensation and report back to the governor on the practicability of the pro ject and submit an outline of one • r more routes. Then the governor wo i' l submit this report to tlie next gcneril assembly for action by that body. The waterway would be designed te permit the transportation by v.aier from the North-Central states to th • Gulf of Mexico, according to Senator Meeker. Friends of tlie bill presented b> Representative Humrichouser to ereitc a division of engineering in the ,iate department of conservation using the Meeker-Bainum bill as leverage t<r push tlie Humrichouser bi'i through tlie legislature. They argue that if the Meeker-Bainum'bill should become a law, the engineer provided r or in the Humrichouser bill could pie pare the data for (he waterway. Should this bill pass, it is likei; the St. Marys river route, talked of in the past, might be used as a connecting link for the proposed waterway. GROCERY IS ROBBED The grocery store conducted at the corner of Seventh and Adams stroeis by Hays & Gilpen was broken into Saturday night, the burglars forcing open the side door which was hev.y barred, and then prying open a door on the inside, gaining entrance to th? grocery store room. About two dolla''? !n change was taken from the cash register, and a Coruna typewriter in a case was also missing. This wis found this morning in a G. R. & I box car by George Oswalt, tho crossing watchman at Adams setreet. and returned to the store. The machine was nor damaged, but the case was broken when the burglars attempted to open it. Nothing else about the store was reported mising. Wilbur Porter who had been seriously sick for a number of weeks, was able to be down town today. He is looking fine.
