At this rate he can't expect ’ to continue fighting for eight years. It is to be hoped that he takes care of his health and that he turns away from the job hunters and trouble makers long enough to do so for he has important labors ahead. The office of chief executive in this country is important and difficult.

p How about it? Have you cleaned up the yard? The city wagons are gathering the tin cans, the old bot- • ties, the rubbish gathered during the r drab days of winter. Pile it in the al- • leys, put it in baskets or boxes so it " will be easier handled —and don’t forget—while doing this plan to get rid of the ashes and garbage.

He was charged with the crime of violating the federal corrupt practice act, admitted he spent many times the limit fixed by the law gnd was convicted. The supreme court says there -is no law under which he can be tried. In other wo.rds he has been freed but not acquitted and the public will not see it his way at all.

apolis Is the republican nominee. He should be defeated next November but he won't be unless the people ot that city consider their own interests 1 ' rather than politic?. The city has a republican majority of perhaps 30,000 but even ut that they can’t afford to do otherwise than to vote for Boyd Ralston, a banker and Imsiness man, competent and capable. The automobile factories are trying to break all records this month tor production. Fine. But whose going to buy? Until the farmer and the merchant and the laborer is again making money and until the currency loosens up and things in general become as they were before we started down hill on the normalcy program, a lot of us who would like to own an automobile can only keep on wishing we could. But why grouch? The decline started when the automobile factories closed down and perhaps by the same barometer we are again on the upward grade. Let's hope so and help throw her into high. Ross Johnson, former Decatur man is the republican nominee for mayor of Gary and he won because of the overwhelming sentiment in his favor by the people. He served four years as mayor of the city but was defeated for renomination four years ago by a political clique, was scored by Judge Anderson and criticized by his home newspapers, but the people called him again and he will no doubt be the executive of Gary for the four years beginning next January Ist. He is able and energetic and he does things. His friends here are pleased that he has been again chosen by his party to represent them and with the vindication thus given.

Last fall, when the interstate com- I merce commission yielded to the plea 1 of the railroads for an increase of 20 per cent in freight rates, railroad ex- ( ecutives held to the belief that their t revenues would be increased to a 1 considerable extent. The opposite ■ has been the effect. That the increase in freight has had some- j thing to do with existing industrial t and business conditions is almost « generally admitted. The railroads • find themselves in the situation of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. They have the higher freight rates, but they do not have the business from which to collect them. Shipping costs have reached a point that makes them a real factor in the transaction of business. The rate on lemons from California is almost equal to the price for whiclt foreign-grown lemons are sei- | ling in New York City. It wifj easily |be seen that lemons are not being I shipped from California to the east j and the railroads are getting no revi enues from such shipments. T*he inI terstate commerce commission is considering a lowering of freight I rates, with the object of giving some aid to industry and business by lowI ering the operating costs, and at the | same time add to the incomes of the railroads by increasing the shipping business. Just what will be done remains to be seen, but that something will have to be done is evident. Sprays Trees in Mazelin Orchard (Continued from page one) trees began to bloom, there have been five damaging frosts, and southern Indiana shows effects of it tar more than the northern part of the state. Probably fifty farmers witnessed the demonstration yesterday at the Mazelin farm, and carefully listened to Mr. Burkholder’s instructions concerning the care of the trees, and those living in the immed'.ate neighborhood are watching the iresult in the Mazelin orchard. “base ball” SUNDAY AFTERNOON BELLMONT PARK DECATUR vs. Ft.

CAN WORK BETTER THAN FOB YEARS Ft. Wayne Man Tells How Tanlac Overcame His Long Standing Stomach Trouble “For the first time in twenty years I can eat a hearty meal without suffering afterwards," said Henry Lee. of 2525 Holton avenue, Fort Wayne. Ind. "For over twenty years I was a sufferer from stomach trouble. My appetite was very poor and my undigested food soured on my stomach and form ed gas which pressed around my heart and almost stopped my breath, and sometimes I had such sharp pains in the pit so my stomach and I could hardly stand it. My sleep was so bro ken and I w’ould get up in the morning as bad as if I hadn’t gone to bed at all. Last winter I had something like the ’flu,’ which left me a great deal worse. I was so weak and short of breath 1 couldn’t go up and down the stairs without feeling exhausted. I went on losing strength every day and tianlly I would have to give up my work altogether. "I saw so much in the papers about the good Tanlac had done others I decided to give it a trial and it has done me more good than all the other medicines I ever took. I can eat just anything 1 want now and my stomach never gives me a particle of trouble My headaches have left me and my nerves have quieted down so I can get sound and refreshing sleep. All that tired, worn-out feeling has left me and I can go up and down the stairs any number of times without feeling tired or out of breath at all. 1 feel better now and can do my work better than in twenty years.”

Hite. Tlrs bonding company was surety on Mr. Hite’s bond, signing the same for his full two-year term, and the same was ;t|. proved by the boird of commissioners. It is rather expensive to carry a bond of this kind, and at Un expiration of the first year the treasurer decided to give a personal bond. This was properly executed, and approved by the commissioners on the fourth day of January, 1921. The United States Fidelity and Guaranty company is therefore released from any liability after the fourth day of January of this year.

SPORT NEWS Railing’s Outfit Sunday. The base ball game to be staged at Bellmont park Sunday afternoon between the Moose Leaguers team of Fort Wayne headed by the well-known base ball star, Toni Railing, formerly of this city and the local base ball club promises to be a real treat to the local fans. The Moose Leaguers will come to this city with a linc-up composed of Dedgez, former Central League player on second base; Ravis, Grand Rapids, short stop; Hillinger, Central Leaguer, of Springfield, center field; Railing, first base; Loraine, right field; Cerz, Michigan State League, left field; Blavelt, last season with Decatur, catcher; Pots, third base; Noell, former Lincoln Life; Taylor, pitcher.
