Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The little island of Yap now seems to be the most important place on the globe. Have you decided who should man- 1 age your city the next four years? The primary is only two weeks away ' and it’s your duty to select the best men or women for the place. , —— —- Japan says she will not give up ■ the island of Yap and Secretary of ■ State Hughes insists that she will, j < Like two dogs fighting over a small ; bone, and the results of the note sending are furnishing plenty of ground for speculation. The farmers are invited to the! meetings of the Industrial Association and a cordial invitation is extended to them to use the new rooms of the association whenever they wish. The farmers also invite 1 the men in the city to attend their meetings. In that way the problems of both the city man and the farmer can be discussed. It’s a splendid idea. The northern part of the state must be suffering from a murder i epidemic. Virgil Decker no sooner gets off the front pages of the daily ■ papers, then along comes a sixteen year old boy by the name of Richard Tasker, who confesses to having kill ed his foster mother and amitting that he tried to kill his father at j their home at Angola. Looks like these summer resorts were not a safe place to live. It was made perfectly clear by■ David J. Schwartz. Fred Busche and John Nidliager, the committee of farmers who met with the members ‘ of the Industrial Association last 1 evening, that no ill feeling exists between the farmers and the cityl men in this community, and that both i depend upon the other for his prosperity. Those present at the meet-1 ing were convinced that the purpose! of the farmer's organization and the ! Industrial association are similar and ' that both can work hand-in-hand for the up building of the community. It was indeed a happy meeting and we | trust that thei>e'll be more like them in the future.

* The meeting last night at the De catur Industrial Association quarters. where three able and very pro- ■ gressive farmers presented interest- . ing view points for consideration. was. it is to be hoped, the foundation work for a much better understanding and closer cooperation between the town and country folks. It is perfectly obvious that in this particular community there exists now and has always existed a real desire to be of service to each other. In fact the business interests of this town have consistently sought during all the past years to be of service and real service at all times to the fanning community tributary to it. If the meeting last night and the meetings that are scheduled to take place I will accomplish what is hoped to be accomplished they will bring the con viction that the good will and spirit of service on the part of the individual city man has always been in evidence towards the farmer and will continue to be so. and that cooperaj tive effort upon the part of both will I wive many problems, and in fact ' every problem that may arise. It is ’ a fine thing, this idea of intelligent cooperation

Power farming with the Fordson reduces the cost of preparing land to almost one half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to a half of the farmer’s time. What machinery does for the factory, the Fordson Tractor is accomplishing on the farm—it is increasing production at lower costs and making farm life attractive.
