Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter “SERENITY” IS NOT SECURITY: — a. After reviewing the petty conflicts of arms now prevalent in the world, a newspaper which apparently has learned nothing new from the war says in its joy of stacking the League of Nations: The United States is free. In spite of the pressure to draw America in. we are still able to view it all with serenity. “To view it all with serenity” was also the hope of every patriotic citi-' zen back in the early days of the world war. Our "splendid isolation" was thought to be a sufficient barrier for all time. Those who favored going in early were actuated in many instances by emphasized partisanship for one or the other of the belligerents. The “America first" con tingent felt secure and “serene” that | 3,000 miles of ocean were quite stiff: cient,for the United States. But it did not work. Strive as we 1 might to remain out of the conflict, it j came. Serenitv gave wav to apprehension. We could not remain out of; it. Our isolation, our 3.000 miles of ocean, our unselfishness, nothing could «ave us. In what respect will the future be different should another conflagration start? Who knows but that one of the “warlets” now in progress may flame into a fury? Will the United States “view it all with senerity?” If the world war showed anything it was that the United States is part of the world, that serious shocks in one place affect it, that time and (Usance have been so abbreviated by I science that isolation is more a word than a fact, that trade and commerce I are so interlocked that the United! States needs the world as much as the world needs it. Consequently America must make up her mind not , to be entangled in the spirit of the ententes, alliances and balances of power, but in partnership with all for preserving the peace and maintaining world affairs in equilibrium. Officers of this city are of the opinion that it will require several arrests before the traffic laws will be obeyed. If you don’t want to be the example you should obey the laws. Remember that the person driving on your right has the right of way under a state law. that when you approach a corner you should slow up, that when you intend to turn you must put out your right arm as a signal. Watch your speed. That's the most important thing and watch the corners. If you do, you will probably avoid accidents and legal trouble. It requires the co-operation of the peo-, pie and the officers to enforce any law.

Facts Worthjßemembering The Peoples Loan and Trust Company is established by law to perform many duties of a financial nature. This company can serve as Guardian, Trustee, Receiver, Administrator of any Estate, Executor of Wills. Writes Fire Insurance, makes loans on farm and city property. The officers of this company will be glad to advise with any person, at any time, regarding above important facts. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co “BANK OF SERVICE”

Monday is the lust day to pay your taxes, it's hard Hues but you have to take it und to make it good the people of Indiana supported in overwhelming numbers the new law which makes possible this tax. It may relieve you to know also that the tax will continue to grow until the law is changed to prevent it and this applies to every county in the state whether the officers be republicans or democrats. The fault is in the law and if you don’t believe it you are joking yourself and your pocket book. Tuesday is election day. On that date the voters of Decatur will select their candidates for city offices. The republicans have no contests but there are several races on the demo cratic side and it is most advisable that you select the strongest candidates for the places. Use your own judgment but remember that you are selecting those who will conduct the business affairs of the city, if elected. and that this business is yours. It's an important duty. Recently inquiries were sent to every editor in the country asking ■ opinions as to the prohibition of tobacco in their communities. In Indiana ninety-one per cent replied that their communities were opposed to such prohibition. The general opinion seems to be that there would be just as much sense in prohibiting the e: *ing of peanuts or the chewing of gum. i . . J! i Attention is r'Ulled to the fact that I corporations and partnerships must ' file the supplement sheets before May 15th or subject themselves to severe penalty. They must be filed so don't delay it. Have you filed your mortgage exemption? It must be done before five o’clock Monday or the officers cannot accept it under the law. It's a chance to save a little on your taxes. Americans have one cause for grat ification in President Harding’s selection of an ambassador to London Harvey’s weekly has suspended. thOomjnT EXPERIENCE • Brings a Ray of Hope to Childless Women Lowell, Mass.—“l had anemia from the time 1 was sixteen years old and Eras very irregular, f I did any houseleaning or washing would faint and ave to be put to ed, my husband ■linking every minte was my last, fter reading your •xt-book for women took Lydia E. inkham’s Vegetale Compound and sed the Sanative Wash, and have never felt better than I have the last two years.

Mass. • This experience of Mrs. Smart is surely a strong recommendation for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is ! only one of a great many similar cases-
