WELL. WHY DON'T THEY?— Z As a senator and as a candidate “ Mr. Harding openly and enthusiast!- • tally supported the resolution, und ? the principle of a quick separate Z peace with Germany as a means of 2 ending the war. To him the League “ of Nations and the Versailles treaty . • were a plague and the way to avoid I • the consequence was to hasten an • agreement with Germany on the • • terms of peace. • But that was his idea as a United « States senator and a candidate for • the presidency. As the chief executive of the country, with great pow- ’ ers and great responsibility, Mr. Harding fails to see the need for im- ’ petuous haste. He is represented as having taken the position “that in the settlement of so important a question the nation must proceed with care and prudence.” It is said further that “he is canvassing the situation in the light of information and advice which has come to him since his inauguration.” It is quite easy to make reckless statements on the stump and to take positions for their political expediency rather than their soundness, but it is quite another thing when face to face with a crisis. President Harding probably realizes that now-

most vividly. It is possible thut, blinded by partisan determination to rob Mr. Wilson of uny credit for the treaty, the , Harding administration may, as Is now intimated, cast aside permanent , ly the covenant. It probably has the votes to do It, but that its spokes man trembles on the brink is Indi i cated by the “go slow" policy he has ‘ set for himself and. the senate on 1 these vital questions of foreign i policy. The first edition of the Fort Wayne j Evening Press came out on schedule I last evening, just eleven days after the announcement and its reception in Fort Wayne and over northern Indiana, proves the w-isdom of the progressive step. The new paper came in two sections and contained thirtytwo pages, tilled with snappy news items, good editorials, attractive ad vertisements, and high class features. The paper has an excellent field and with its well selected management will soon have a circulation I second to none in the state. It is I claimed the first day's sales exceeded ! those of any paper ever published in I the middle west and the “youngster" will soon grow to be a real “kid” in the newspaper field of Indiana. Have you ever stopped complaining long enough to figure out why the “dago" gets ahead in this country? It's very simple and his rule might be a good one to follow. When business lets up he works harder, he opens his fruit stand a little earlier and keeps it open a little later at night. There is always business if y&u make your own conditions and don't accept them ready made. Work will lick any industrial condition. —— i The present cold snap will certainly not do the fruit crop in this sec- , tion any good and there is great i .danger that the apples, pears, and . peaches will be rather scarce here. • The early spring weather brought

/TuCKtN IstrikeJ XX”lfs Cigarette No cigarette has the same delicious flavor as Lucky* Strike. Because Lucky Strike is the toasted cigarette. the trees out unusually rapidly and the frosts of the past few nights no doubt damaged the crop. It will have to be made up in some other way. The candidates are hustling these days, rather quietly perhaps but thoroughly. They are seeing the voters and by primary election day you will fitjd that considerable interest has been worked up. Your duty is to select those candidates whom you feel will best serve you and the community. It's a big and important job. The farmers of Adams county will present their purposes of organization to the members of the Decatur Industrial Association next Monday night. This is no scheme, but just a plain every day effort to create a feeling of understanding among the people of this county and a worthy I cause. Great Britain spent two and a half : billion dollars for booze last year and iyet their representatives claim they can't meet even the interest due the United States on their debt to us. If they want sympathy they should be more temperate and more economical. Better save the money for a spree after the bills are paid. Efforts to create a thirteen month , year are now being made but the I fellow who has just had his rent raised won't favor it.

A NEW MINISIER • s • ’. Rev. S. I. Zechil Will Become Pastor of the Monroe Methodist Church REYNOLDS AT GENEVA Rev. Krider Will Retire From Active Pulpit Duty Because of Illness

In the announcement of the pastors assigned to this county Monday evening. the church at Monroe and Geneva was not mentioned in our press dispatch, and the many members of the congregations and others interested were making inquiry as to who the pastors would be. Rev. S. I. Zechil is sent to Monroe to replace the Rev. Krider, who asked the conference to relieve hint from active duty as a minister because of failing health. Several months during the past year Rev. Krider had been detained from his pulpit because of illness, and he decided not to attempt to care for a charge the coming year. Rev. Krider had been stationed at Monroe the past three , years, and is held in high esteem by the members of the Monroe church, g and with others with whom he be- I came acquainted, and all 'hope the I rest he plans to take will prove bene- I ficial. and that he will regain his I former health. He will remove to J Marion. Ind., where he has a home. I Rev. J. W. Reynolds remains the I pastor at Geneva, and Rev. E. J. Glen- I denning is assigned to the Geneva I circuit. The Methodist churches of I Adams county all have good pastors, I and with the proper amount of en- I thusiasm in each congregation, the I Methodists will do great things in the I next year. BEETS IN BLACKFORD During the coming Year Blackford county will come to the front with a crop of sugar beets much larger than any such crop ever harvested here, according to growers who have been contracting acreage with the Decatur refinery. The growers state that, for several weeks past, representatives of the sugar refinery have been here for the purpose of contracting a large I acreage in this county and that they ; have been successful in obtaining much land for the purpose. The sugar beet has been grown in this county for several years but no effort was ever made to obtain a very large acreage for the crop in this county.— Wabash Times-Star.
