A judge down in Mississippi required a captured still to be operated in court and sampled the liquor. It this practice becomes too popular everybody will be running for judge. One of these days things are going to pick up and you will be surprised at the advantage those have who hang on, advertise and work and smile. Normalcy is a queer game but we have it and the only thing to do Is to make the best of it. A lot of people seem to have for-’ gotten that this is clean up week and have failed to get the bottles, old cans and rubbish ready to be hauled away. The men can’t go into the cellar and woodshed and dig them out. If you wish them hauled away, get them out where they can be secured and then don’t forget to get rid of the garbage and ashes and clean up and paint up. After you figure your taxes just stop to think how you would like to add a five or six per cent state income tax to it. You will be asked to 1 vote on that proposition next September and along with it on an amendment giving the state tax board more power. If you do so just l»eep still about high taxes for there is no longer any doubt but that the more power you give the tax board, the more taxes you will pay. Tax paying is over, the primary is concluding and for the next few months we can get down to business and its high time. A lot of the depression is in your mind. Really things have been a lot worse than now and it’s just one of those periods , when every one should work a little harder and smile a little oftener. As good citizens we all owe a duty to the community and that is to do all we can to better conditions of every ■ kind. Let's go. The primaries are being held today. As predicted and expected it was a quiet event in Decatur though a fairly good vote is being polled. , There are several contests on the democratic side and the candidates are busy, tl is your duty to vote your'

’ party picket. Help to select the best candidates for the offices for those selected will conduct your affairs during the next four years. The returns will be received early this evening and this office will be glad tc answer phone calls. ‘•Where does it leave us?" is the question now being asked by independent newspapers and thinkers all over the country, following the Knox resolution ending the war with Germaqy. Usually termination of wars is followed by a treaty, but in this case where the war resolution is simply repealed we cannot go back to the previous treaty and in making a new one a million "ifs” enter. We shall find out after while what the

resolution means and where it leaves us. Just now no one, even its friends, seem to know. This is the period in congress when the politicians are talking reduction in expenditures. It is well but the people will think more of it when they see it actually carried out in the appropriation bill. The trouble seems to be that every one favors reducing that part of the cost of government which doesn’t effect them. Without question there is plenty of room for reduction. There was also in Indiana but the legislature went wild and doubled the appropriations. So long as that happens the people are not going to believe these early session advices. Senator Newberry goes free along with seventy others convicted in a federal court for conspiracy to violate the election laws. The public will accept the decision that congress overstepped its authority in efforts to controll primary elections and yet it does seem that there ought to be some way in which to prevent the stealing of an election, even by a candidate for United States senator. Under the same law Don Roberts and other Indiana politicians sarved terms in prison. Just now it looks considerably one sided but at least the boys will know that they can go as far as they like so far as the federal laws are concerned about elections. —————■ Villa, the Mexican murderer of whom we heard much a few years ago when he was leading one revolur tion or another and threatening to make his permanent residence in the White House has been given a quarter million dollar ranch by his government and as result of the comI promise promises to be good ever afterward. He is a murderer and a desperate character and this method of punishment seems entirely new. It is more than likely that after a good rest he will spring up again at the head of an army and make his country come across with a slice of ground and "he may choose that upon j which stands the capitol.

' The rooms of the Industrial asso- ( 1 elation should be packed tomorrow t night, when Howard J. Wisehaupt, < former Decaturite who has made 1 * good out in the world and is recognized as one of the best young lec- , turers on the American platform, will ' speak. He has a message all his own, a word of optimism and “peptimism” that will jar you out of the old rut you have been slipping into and will make you smile and throw back your shoulders and start in again. Whether or not he has a class here during the next two months is yp to his manager but for this free lecture we wish to give him a crowded house. We admire those men who make good and this community has had many of them. And when they come home we should show that we appreciate their efforts. Mr. Wisehaupt is a clean, wholesome, courageous and brilliant young man and he deserves your support. Hear him tomorrow night and see if you don’t agree that he is what we claim for him.

\ to raising the phono rates from SI.OO per months to $1.50 if paid three months in advance or $1.75 if paid at the end of the month, was given by the commission. Our people have been awaiting the deciding word since that time, and now they know their fate, and those who have had their phones taken out cans install them again or either remove those they now have in use. The decision does not meet with the approval of the users of the community. The following is the report of the commission rendered on April 23, 1921: “It is hereby ordered by the public service commission of Indiana that the rates authorized in the original order of November 3, 1920, in this cause be. and they are, continued in effect until the further order of the commission.

Stowe's mammoth production of the immortal American drama. “Uncle Tom's Cabin," the most correct and impressive scenic production of the late Harriet Beecher Stowe’s everlasting legacy to posterity ever seen in America, th? only version that has been accepted by the pulpit as a moral instructor. No such amount of money as Mr. Jno. F. Stowe has spent on this play has ever before been expended on this noglectod and muchabused American drama. They have | taken great pains in the selection of £ the cast and have engaged actors for £ their special fitness for their various fi parts, rather than for their ability to | play some instrument in the band, g which has been the rule 'with manag- J ers of like attrations .

We have been trying to get o\Tr ourddea of quality cigars and the prices that wit! prevail for standard merchandise to the smokers of this community as compared to cigars whose whole appeal to the trade are their prices and what we have said in our various articles is the absolute truth as we see it after a caretui study of conditions in our business. We feel that we have built our good will with the smoker by always giving him the best merchandise at the least money and we are proud of the fad that we have earned a reputation for quality goods and honesty and fair dealing with our trade. There is nothing so important and vital in business as a reputation justly earned for quality, service and fair dealings. For years we have kept our cigar upon the highest level of quallity, with our service and dealings as carefully guarded. There has never been a temptation nor an influence strong enough to cause us to diverge from this policy. I We appreciate the confidence and splendid good will of oui many smokers too much to do anything kss than the best we know how to fully merit such regard. You will always l>e sure that you are getting the best sigar in the world when you buy White Stag Cigar Company products. J STICK TO THE “WHITE STAG” AND YOU’LL NEVER GET STUCK.
