ARE WE NEAR THE DIG TURN?— The Breeder’s Gazette, in a lengthy editorial urges that every one cooperates in the readjustment process ’ now on, that the farmer may be re-' lieved from his serious condition, and,that the wheels of industry may' again go round. They point to the fact that during the war the' pay rolls 1 of officers and employes of big corporations trippled and that only by [ the adjustment of these can a fair i plan be worked out. While you may | not agree with all the argument, you will be interested in the editorial; which says iu part: — "Readjustment progresses, and the i i faster the shaking-down process pro-, ceeds now the better. The sooner we ' I reach the worst the sooner we will ■ ,

begin the return jdlirney towards re-1 stored prosperity. Signs are not I wanting that the corner is about to' be turned. For one thing, the Unit-j ed States Steel Corporation last week receded from its untenable attitude of resistance to lower prices, so tenaciously held all winter, and announced substantial reductions in basic products. The sharp cut in billets, blooms and the unfabricated metal generally will bring some relief to the big consumers of crude steel —such as the manufacturers of farm implements and automotive power; but. unfortunately for buyers, the chief element of cost in tools, implements, machines, wire, jarchitectural shapes and the like is the labor bill, and this continues excessive. Liquidation proceeds nevertheless. As the ranks of the unemployed swell the conviction grows certain that the orgy of war wages is over. If men had rather remain idle than accept a reduction from $1.25 per hour, and get busy helping to straighten out the country's difficulties, that is their privilege; but their places will not only be filled, but they will be branded by a fair-minded public as blocking the return to normalcy, without which that correlation of prices and values that is essential to the common welfare cannot be attained. Anyone who refuses to take his medicine at this time, when most of his fellows have already swallow-

["'cd theirs-whether he be laborer, merchant or manufacturer —will be compelled to take it. No one has any *• moral right deliberately to stand r stubbornly in the only path that i- leads back to good times for everyJ body. The price of essential transportation and construction must be reduced, and the price of farm pro- ; duets must rise to decent levels, beJI fore there can be any general prosi perity. One is still substantially at ' the peak, the other is already in the pit; and the sooner the one falls and the other rises to average levels the ' sooner will there be enough of everything* for everybody. Ten to twenty per cent reductions in the prices of what the farmer has to buy do not compare favorably with the 50 to 75 per cent reductions that he has seen made in the prices of his own products. This gross inequality largely represents unliquidated greed; and _ as everyone come to their senses, ,and get busy at fair prices, the I wheels of industry will again go round, und farm products will be in normal demand at living prices. Then, and not until then, will this i tedious readjustment process be at an end." —————— A visit * the General Electric ! plant in this city will convince you that the factory is an ideal one, equipped to do a large business and employ hundreds of people. There is not the slightest doubt in our mind . that eventually this will be a real , factory with a couple of thousand em-

. ...... M ployes. Tians towards the future when times are again good prove that fact and the foundation now built will make it come rapidly. However , for several months and perhaps a , year or two there cannot be great . progress but when it starts, look out , for a rapid growth of this* splendid , new industry in this community. Another chapter of the world war , is soon to be written. The allies , have given Germany until May Ist to ] meet the agreed reparation terms. If , they fail French armies will enter , the Ruhr district and will proceed to collect. However Germany has made a new offer which is practically the demand and it seems likely that in stead of the proposed advancement, real peace, may soon come. Surely the world has had enough of war. It is time to get down to peaceful living and it is hoped that this may result from the present negotiations. The merchant who is awake and is using newspaper space to tell the people the facts about his business will get ahead this year and it will be the most important twelve months of his career. Last year it was easy to do business. Now it’s the up and going fellows who get it. Farmers and business men can if they get together make an organization or rather two working organiza-

tions that can accomplish much. Lets work to get some place, to help the entire community. That will be well worth while. Much as we favor the highest possible wage for all laboring men and women the “normalcy” program does not include that and since about everyone in the country voted for that new form- of government, there is nothing to do but agree. Watch the turns and the crosings. drivers of cars and motor vehicles. There is a state law now that may seriously effect you to say nothing of the dangers of injury to yourselves and others.

WISEHAUPT, Gl6 Nuttman Ave., Decatur, Ind. ADECATUR MAN’S EXPERIENCE Can you doubt the evidence of this Decatur citizen? You can verify Decatur endorsement. Read this: C. Cook, 716 N. 6th St., DJcatur, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills for attacks of kidney complaint and I can highly recommend them. My kidneys were in such a condition that I had trouble with my back if I over-worked. My back was so lame and stiff I could hardly bend. My kidneys acted irregularly, too. 1 used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Halthouse's Drug Co. and they were just what I needed. They gave me prompt relief from the aches and pains and put my kidneys in good shape.” Price 60c, at all * dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Cook had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Last year there were about 100,000 cars on the side tracks awaiting repairs and today there are about 500,000 on the sidings for the same purpose. according to McArdle. The Interstate Commerce Commission granted the railroads an increase fn freight rates so that they could spend the money for repairs; instead they must give it to this board for ■ hearing their controversies, the com-, missloner said. ■'•The roads were able to handle' their, own affairs before this board] was created and 1 think that they | rah'do it now. All they need is a free hand," McArdle concluded. .- 4-?.-, ; j Mt'fe P'kijtlc qre kjlled and injured fry tn idling. sftpi>iftg and falling' than i P eci »...
