:. APPROACH NEEDS TO BE GUARDED; — i£pThe approaches to the new bridge just north of this city are most dangerous and unless taken care oi it is /’ probable that more than one accident | ■' Wil occur there during the next few Aionths. The approach from the north is particularly bad as there is a sharp curve just as you reach the; bridge and on the east side of the north approach the drop is about thirty feet. A stranger driving into j this city from that direction unless j on his guard is almost sure it seems ; from a .glance, to go over. When the bridge was completed I and turned over to the state authorities, attention was called to the fact I by Mr. Hendricks, the county highway commissioner, and the state. highway men promised to look after this immediately and to build such fences as necessary to protect the traveling public. Up to this time however not a thing has been done and there is great danger that before , any action is taken a very serious accident may occur. Your attention is called to the danger that you may guard against it and tell others and in the meantime if there is any way by which you can help to direct the state authorities to the facts, you should do so. The approaches are dangerous and unless the state looks after them at once, it should be done by the city or county authorities. We should not permit such a condition to exist if we can correct it and we are sure a few dollars expended will do so. Wo appeal to the state highway commission to take care of this do so at once. It may save serious accidents. Have you noticed that the telephone service in Decatur these days is first class, that you are given courteous and speedy answers to your calls, that the employes at the exchange are accomodating and that every thing possible is being done to improve the service? We don’t know just w’ho or what is responsible. We only recognize the fact and call your attention to it. We are prone to find fault and in the past many

P have complained. Why not be as anxious to say a kind word when improvement is noticeable? We believe • that by so doing, by occasionally tel , Hug the central girls and the other ■ employes of the company that you ap- , predate what they are doing, the excellent service can be the better continued. It is natural to try harder when we know the efforts are appreciated und it Is just as natural for us to slip back in the rut when we think it doesn’t make any difference. The public can help to make the service better by showing that they recognize it. , We are not finding fault about the lighting of Decatur or criticizing any _ one. During the past few years fuel

conditions made impossible fetter lighting. That is over now and coal is about the easiest thing to get. We jiave a wonderful electric plant, capable of producing more light and I power than we need by half and yet I we sit in the dark many nights. The trouble seems to be that we don't want to light the city for we are sure jit can be done,if we will all get the inspiration and Realize the importance of it. The lights we have nowcan at least be kept burning and a few we are sure could be added from i time to time. Proper interest by the right people will make this city attractive at night and so far we have not heard why it can't be done. t ?! Once long ago when Grover Cleveland was president, the 'price of corn went to sixteen cents a bnshel and , wheat to fifty two. For fifteen years afterward that was a. favorite topic ■ for the republican politicians. Now : | corn is worth thirty-eight cents anti! j wheat about a dollar but sixteen cents for corn and fifty-two cents for wheat twenty-five years ago was more than present prices for it bought more. Normalcy is a great thing for some folks but a hard dose for the most of us. Up to this time we haven’t readjusted the price of farm products satisfactorily and all the law-s enacted will not help until that transpires. There is a demand for more homes in Decatur. We have calls every day and each advertisement printed for a house to rent brings many replies. Without doubt a hundred houses could be rented to advantage in this city and if we are to grow they must be built. A little get together along this line will bring pleasing results and help the community in a most decided manner. Some who formerly sought to ridicule the charge of the existence of a “senate oligarchy” are not so certain about it now. George Harvey has sailed for England, but Hiram Johnson will probably keep the ship of state from becoming becalmed.

With $6,500,000,000 in savings banks, the American people can stand quite a downpour, but that money also will be a huge factor in reviving trade and industry. v 4. ■■■ ' Secretary of Labor Davis conceives his job to be to make the Golden Rule attractive in industry. If he succeeds'he will prove one of America's greatest moral benefactors. The systwm they tried to work against Babe Ruth worked—until the Babe hit the ball on the nose, which is the way with most systems.

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Northern Orchardists Should Spray More Thoroughly Than Usual (By the Department of Agriculture) Specialists in the United States department of agriculture call the atten tion of fruit growers in the north’ern United States, yhose orchards have thus far escaped the disastrous freezes of this spring ,to the promising opportunity afforded them for profit through more thorough and careful spraying than usual to insure the greatest possible production of high quality Yruit. The almost unprecedented succession of freezes which occurred March 26-29, April 10-11, and April 17-18. have , nearly destroyed the apples, pears. ' peaches, plums and cherries throughI out a considerable portion of the country east of the Rocky Mounthins. I This frosted area extends from the j Virginia-Carolina line southward into the Allegheny Mountains, westward I into the Allegheny Mountains, west■ward through middle Arkansas to the Rocky Mountains, and northward well up into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and westward through middle Ohio to Nebraska. Examinations by department experts and reports from experienced i fruit growers have shown that in this great area only a remnant of the crop ■of orchard fruits is left. North and , east of this area only a remnant of the crop of orchard fruits is left. North and east of this area, is the New England states. New York, and the 1 Lake Region, there is still a fair pros- i poet for a good set of orchard fruits except in certain rather restricted j localities. If the weather in this northern j territory continues favorable during the next ten days to two weeks, the prospect of a profitable crop is excellent as the probability of good demand for good quality fruit from that region has rarely been better. HAVE BABY GIRL Mis. E. B. Bennet, who was former-i ly Miss Helene Fonner of this city,, sent announcements to her friends today of the birth of a daughter, Marv Elizabeth, on May Bth. Mrs. Bennet now lives in Kokomo.

PRICES PRICES PRICES QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY Everybody is talking about, thinking about, dreaming alxnit prices. Nobody pays any attention to QUALITY these days. It has gone from one extreme to the other. Last year the smokers stepped into a store and selected the cigar with the highest cost mark ticket. He paid no attention to Quality, the consequence was that an ocean of cigars sold at 12! z 2 cents, 15 cents and even 20 cents that were no better in quality than the old pre-war nickel cigars. Today the same smokers step into a store and select the cigar with the lowest price ticket. Again he disregards QUALITY and cheerfully pays a nickel for a Smoke that is really worth but half as much. The moral of this story is—the smoker who believes in wise spending—who demands full value in smoke satisfaction for his money will look for the manufacturer who delivers QUALITY and the quality brands will win out in the long run and the smokers who insist on these quality cigars will get greater satisfaction than those who simply reap the benefit of the tow price ticket wave. Jobbers all over the country are loaded up with long shot brands that readily , sold at fancy figures a year ago, we could name many brands of them that today are unsaleable at any price. Jobbers will lx* loaded with the trash that now interests the price ticket buyers as soon as the present wave passes and QUALITY sanity is reinstated. This is certain. ‘ * 1 here fore we offer the “WHITE STAG” cigars in all its old lime goodness— Quality every inch of it —from tip'lqftuck to the last tooth hold, d cigar that is hand made, draws freely, burns evenly, holds its ash and satisfies the smoke sense and cost only a little more than ordinary cigars t x ,41 tw For “its GOODNESS” sake TRY IT!
