Indiana, as second-class matter. Decatur is planning for a big Chautauqua. the best fair in Indiana and other events of interest during the year. You can help in these public affairs in a lot of ways, if you will do so. Tell your friends and be a booster. Included in the more than twentyfive hundred bills presented in congress yesterday were a thousand allotting cannons captured by Ameri-1 cans in the world war to towns and cities. Wonder if Mr. Vestal forgot; the promise made to this city a i couple of years ago? There is no good reason why we should not build new houses in Decatur this year, at least none that we know of. Why don't we? What is . the trouble? Some one ought to find I out and correct it. Building material is down and it looks as though under present conditions, prices should be lower than a year ago. Two cars of rice were recently received here and the freight is said to have exceeded the cost of the product. Such a condition should not exist and until freight rates have been adjusted so that the ultimate consumer does not have to pay more than twice the value of an article. business will not be as good as is ■ possible. It seems to us a more important subject just now than a tariff law\ The members of the house of congress wore themselves and the clerks to a frazzle yesterday, filing bills, after a wait of two or three years. The total was 2.504 and broke all previous records for one day. Many bills prepared months ago but held up to prevent any credit going to the Wilson administration were put in the hopper and hundreds which that administration would not care to take credit for were likewise dumped in. Now comes the big game and the division of opinion. Watch and wait. ' Compared to the message of President Wilson the first one by Mr. Harding was a hazy and rambling effort containing some excellent advice and some which we believe the people will consider doubtfully. He

Needed Now - More Than Ever With the house-cleaning days here —no time for baking—there is a much greater demand for Money-Worth Bread and Grennan's Cakes —and why not: They embody the deliciousness of home-baking, without any trouble or worry to you. they cost less and they never disappoint you—always the same healthful foods.

turns his back upon the league of nut lons and he advises a separate peace, though a large majority of the people favored the Versailles treaty. He opens with a tendency towards unity and compromise because the people want that but he does so on policies which we very much fear I will not work. Time will tell. ———- It is pleasing to learn that Union township also has a Community organization and are bolding monthly meetings with much success. Interest is growing and the only trouble now seems to be to provide a place sufficiently large to take care of the crowd. If interest continues to Increase this question will in due time' solve itself for anything the citizens of that township or any other in Adams county wants, they can get. when united as this plan assures. It’s a fine thing to do and the programs are not only interesting but ' helpful, the music is a good tonic and the acquaintanceship is bound to bring pleasure in living. Keep up the good work, men and women. This is a poor time of year for Sen- . ator Smoot to come forth with the; i boast that he has never taken a vaca-1 ! tion. No wonder he is quoted as say-I ing that his life is very uninteresting He has never known the pleasure of' looking over the highly-colored sum mer resort booklets and railroad fold-, i ers. He knows nothing of sitting in a boat under the glare of a midsummer sun and coming home with his entire face peeling loose and two j small fish. There are a lot of moun-; tains sprawling around in his home ‘ state of Utah, but probably it he! climbed one of them the senator would call it work and deny that he was just out for the fun. The witness turther confesses that he never attends baseball games nor plays golf. ■ that he works 16 hours a day and' would rather raise the tariff than at-' tend a theater. His only recreation ■ is sleeping seven hours each night. ■ It takes all kinds of men to make a world, and no doubt there is room for more such as this Spartan; given half a population of bis kind, the other half could rest and play with-I out stint, and still the world's work I would be done. It is a mistake to idle ; away one’s time. Senator Smoot de- ■ dares, but the general verdict of his fellows will be that it is an equally great mistake to be so bound up in the business of banking, wool manu- i featuring and politics as to find no ’ time for or joy in what the poet calls • "living by the way as we journey | through life.” -———————- BIG ATHLETIC CARNIVAL 1 An athletic carnival is being ar- ■ ranged for in this city’, the date to be i announced later. There will be six ' big events. Several of the best ama- . tuer entertainers will be on deck to , make the program one of interest. The promoters promise something new in the way of athletic stunts, and request that you watch the papers for 1 further announcement.

But poison ivy is not a thing to be fooled with and soap and hot water in wholesale applications comprise the best measure of relief. The poison, after being deposited in the skin, requires some time tot penetrate, and if this penetration can be prevented by thorough washing, eruntion and irritation will not result. While exposed parts should be cleansed in this manner as soon after exposure as possible, it is worth while to make the attempt even twelve to twenty hours afterwards in the hope, that at least a portion of the poison ■ may be removed. A heavy lather ; should be produced and washing j should be continued several minutes. | Severe scrubbing with a brush is not | advisable, but several swabs or small I compresses of gauze may be used, discarding each in turn, so that the poislon may not be distributed by the cloth. Bathing with alcohol diluted with an equal amount of water is also an i effective preventive. Where exposure ■ has been more general, a bath for the entire body, followed by a change of clothing, is good preventive measure. The hair should not be neglected. Bathing, if not accompanied by sufficient changing of water or rinsing, may result in spreading the rash to skin that has not been infected. In cases that are at all serious a physician should be consulted. No specific treatment for poisoning from ivy and sumac is yet available. Ointments should not be used in the acute stage of the disease. In the later stages, however, soothing and as tringent ointments may be of value in allaying irritation and hastening cure. ELKS MEET TONIGHT The Elks will meet this evening at 7:38 o'clock. Initiation Members please be present.

Your Children - What Will You Make of Them? Among the many lessons taught a boy or girl in childhood tew are more important than that of thrift. A child should learn early in life that not every penny should be spent on sweets and good tunes, but that many pennies should be put into the bank, where with the help of bank interest, they will build up a sum of money for use in the future. Simplicity, self-denial, eeonomy,*.are some of the qualities thrift will develop in the child.
