ROTARY DAY:— The tirst Rotary club was organized sixteen years ago today and all over the world that event Is today being observed in one way or another by the more than 65,000 members of this organization. What is Rotary? The question is often asked and is deserving of an answer. Many people believe it is simply a bunch of business men who meet once a week, eat a good dinner, listen to a happy speech and have a “corking” time. But that actually is not what the great club stands for. | This is really only the idea of the , organizers for assuring good attendance. Back of all- this is one great ; big reason why Rotary has proven so popular. It is told in two words—“HUMAN SERVICE." Rotary doesn't consider a man a success unless he is of the fullest possible value to his fellowmeu in helping them to greater happiness, no matter whether he is a money maker or not. “The Rotary club demands fair dealings, honest methods. I and high standards in business,'” is ' tlie theme of the Rotary platform, i and its last clause, ‘‘He profits most' who serves best,” has been adopted ' as the latter part of the official slog j an: “Service Above'Self —He Profits: Most Who Serves Best.” This thought implanted in the life of one man spreads to others, and a small group possessing the thought of unselfish service soon creates the desire in other men to do likewise. Hence the rapid spread of the Rotary idea. The first club came into being through Paul P. Harris, a Chicago lawyer, who lonesome and desirous' of fellowship invited a coal dealer, a coal operator and a tailor to meet him at luncheon. They decided to :

It srey and a few months i, later a similar club was organized in California and soon it spread to r every r Into nearly every country. r The Decatur club has forty members—all live wires, does a great < work and is a high class bunch of ’ splendid men. It was organized in , August of 1916 with sixteen mem j bers, Avon Burk being the first i president. Tho charter was issued 1 tho following June and the club has , since enjoyed a steady growth. Wai Wemhoff is president this year and tho organization is prospering in a manner which proves his fitness. THE CABINET: — After months of planning from every angle, Mr. Harding has announced his tentative selection of cabinet members. Included are, JCharles Evans Hughes of New York, secretary of state; Andrew Mellon of Pittsburg, treasurer; John W. Weeks, Massachusetts, war; Harry Daugherty, dhio, attorney general;' Will Hays, Indiana, postmaster general; Edwin Denby, Michigan, navy; A. B. Fall, New Mexico, interior; Henry Wallace, lowa, agriculture; [Herbert Hoover, California, commerce; James J. Davis, Pennsylvania labor. Several of the men chosen, including Hughes and Hoover were no doubt chosen because of their great ability and their selection will be popular. Mellon seems to have been i selected because he is the second richest man in the world, though strangely enough few people had ever heard of him; the rest of the members of the official family appear :to be strictly political choices. Hays 'is the republican national chairman, has ability but will quite likely look 'at the political advantages rather ’ than service, Daugherty is a profes- | sional politician, Denby is an unknown quantity and the rest of the members are not exactly those which the people wculd.Jjave elected if given the opportunity. All in all however the cabinet could be much worse. They have a big job ahead of them and the real test will come after the men have had an opportunity to declare themselves as the problems arise. « More trouble and more reason for a twenty million dollar legislature— Otto Klauss, for four years auditor of state, is charged with the issuance

When Yonr Lillie Child cries at night, tosses restlessly and mutters in its sleep, is constipated, fretful and feverish, or has symptoms of worm*, you feel worried and have your night's rest disturbed by the little one's crying, or perhaps because of your own anxiety.

LEGION MEMBERS AIQ POLICE Former Service Men In Various Cities Lend Assistance in Combating Crime Wave. In conformity with the stand for law and order which • the American Legion takes, thousands of Legionnaires are assisting the police in combating the crime wave, which has menaced life and property in larger cities all over the country, according to reports received at Legion national headquarters. New York department headquarters promptly offered to put 5,000 veterans on the streets to assist the police when tlie orgy of murder and robbery was at its height, while during tlie Christmas season a number of Legion members aided in eliminating holdups in the shopping district by serving as guards in large retail stores and wholesale houses. Five hundred St. Louis Legionnaires assisted the police in patrollng the city and rounding up suspicious characters. At St. Paul, Minn., tlie services of Legion members were volunteered in the formation of a-series of network patrols. Legion leaders explained that their organization in volunteering the services of its members for maintaining law and order did not imply that the police were inefficient, but that there was recognition that an abnormal situation existed under which the Legion was pledged to act if it wished to live up to the principles of its constitution.

NOW FEELS LIKE OLD SELF AGAIN ft (“There’s Something About Tanlac That Certainly Does the Work,” Says Wood. ■■ “Well, 1 don't know what it is. but there's something about Tanlac that certainly does the work," said Chas. S. Wood, of 937 South Twenty-fifth street, Terre Haute, Ind. “1 had an attack of the influenza about two years ugo which left me in such bad shape that 1 never expected to be myself again, but. Tanlac. has simply put me in the best of health. My appetite was awfully poor, everything 1 ate.would ferment and sour and quite frequently I became so nauseated I could scarcely retain a thing on my stomach. I suffered ■ terribly from bloating and palpitationl of the heart, and was so short of breath that I often felt like I was going to smother, especially when lying down. I was so nervous and restless I could never get a good night's sleep, and had a draggy. wornout feeling all the time. “I began to improve on my very first bottle of Tanlac, and since taking six bottles of the medicine I'm simply feeling like my old self again. I have a good appetite, everything I eat agrees with me perfectly and I m gaining in weight right along. I sleep like a log every night and am simply feeling fine in every way. Tanlac has proved nothing less than a godsend to me and I gladly give it my highest endorsement." Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s; in Berne*at Stengel & Craig's; in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s and in Monroe at O. O. Hocker’s. OFFER THEIR LIVES The thank Offering program arranged Sunday evening at the United Brethren church was carried out as planned.

Miss Ethel Potts and Miss Mary Bauman went forward and dedicated thou- lives for life-work recruit service. The offering to date has reached more than $25.

Harvester Company Brands Story False DURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers’ meetings charges have been made, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly, that this Company has adopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines in order to compel the purchase of new ones. This statement is absolutely false. Such a policy has never been considered by this Company nor suggqf ted to it. Ordinarily we ignore such reports, because we have learned that any large company, no matter how fair and high principled, is subject at all times to unjust criticism. The facts are this Company has always recognized the importance of repair service and has used every effort to make IHC service the best. We believe we can truthfully say that the repair service furnished wherever this Company’s goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line. We call attention to the fact that machinery “Fix-up Weeks,” instead of being something new and originated by the farmers in 1921, as some seem to think, were really an outgrowth of the movement started by manufacturers and dealers’ associations in connection with the Council of National Defense as a war conservation measure. Perhaps no other agency has done so much to promote “National Repair Weeks” as this Company. The farmer needs machines which will be efficient and economical If his old machines can be repaired so as to render efficient and service, he would be foolish to purchase new ones. Whether the farmer util ires and repairs his old machines or buys new ones is a question for him to determine. But in making his decision, we give to every farmer who owns any IHC machines the assurance that a full stock of repair parts will always be provided by this Company. Today, our repair stocks on the territory available for the farmers are 21 per cent greater than ever before at this time of the year. An average of a quarter million pounds of repairs are shipped from IHC factories for every working day in the year. Thirty million dollars’ worth of repair parts are now ready, as insurance for the farmer when he needs this service. In every International Harvester Works manufacturing orders call for repair parts first and even when furnishing them has meant cutting down production of new machines for which we had orders, repairs have always had preference. At every one of our 91 branch houses trained men.are on duty to see that all orders are filled and shipped promptly. Thousands of dealers scattered everywhere with an assortment of repairs in stock are always ready and willing to render every assistance. • This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who have purchased it? machines has been a matter of great pride to the Company, and is the foundation of the cordial good*will existing between it and its customers. We feel it is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines that we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service of repairs will be maintained and improved, and that any charges to the contrary are untrue.
