An expert says that business prosperity is on the way but in low gear. It also seems to lack power. this is only the first step to liberalize the country but perhaps it's largely up to the local officers. __ _ The Culver bank robbers who killed J. R. Saine following a holdup I were found guilty yesterday and now they think they have been abused, i What has become of politicians • and newspapers for several years I busy with attacks on the Wilson administration because of the “watch-, ful waiting’’ policy towards Mexico? When Bergdoll escaped from this : country the administration was blamed. Isn’t it queer that no blame is attached to U* |L Harding forces because Bill Haywood jumped the league? , ' Mr. Bryan would compel Americans who go to Cuba to get a drink to stay there.

’ that the regular hotel rates there are about thirty dollars a day. The federal forces tor the enforcement of the prohibition laws have been reduced to a handful for forty days apd the dry leaders say it will menu a regular riot of booze running throughout the country. If that’s the condition, we haven't made much headway after all. Some feel that If it’s notoriety the editor of the 'Berne Witness is seeking by his antiAmerican editorials he will probably , get an over supply, The Grover Sheets Post of the American Legion at Bluffton has adopted resolutions, strongly condemning the editorial and have sent copies to the officers of

the national organization. These are times when newspapers as well us individuals should be constructive rather than destructive. ■ Friendly criticisms are a good thing ; and often bring results but those which tear down and create disatisfaction should have no .place in this | country. They are never of real benefit and that is true during times l of depression even more than when things are going along nicely. “We were not too proud to fight but afraid not to fight.” chirrups Colonel Harvey, the United States ambassador to the court of St. James, in Eng land. He announces that the United Slates is a selfish, cowardly nation which does not care about the rest of the world, just so we are comfortable. He may be right but common decency ought to make him keep from advertising it. It’s a far cry from his speech yesterday to the ideals the most of the people here had in mind.

Let’s have some new light bulbs in the globes on the ornamental I posts. It will help make the down town district look brighter and may encourage some one else to put up

lights. It seems that’s the only way ; we will get better lighting -thiring the next year. We are also sure that p the Decatur business men can afford to turn on at least one light in their j show windows. It pays to give th<3 impression that you are alive. -,■ ■ I There probably never was a time when wives were receiving more ad- 1 c vice on retaining the affections of | their husbands titan at present. v Much of this advice is written by wo- ! men x who have never been married, I but who have the facility of writing ( i theories that may or may not work out in practice. Mr. and Mrs. John , Savey, of Logan, Ohio, are planning t to observe the sixty-ninth anniver- I sary of their marriage in July. The * husband is 90, the wife 87. “John t says he still thinks I'm the only wo- t man in the world,” Mrs. Savey says. < “And the way I've kept him thinking that way is this: I've always fed him 1 well, kept the children and the house clean and neat and made him think he was having his own way.” Simple formula for the home life, it would seem. It means work and sacrifice for a wife to have her husband at 90 still think she is "the only woman in the world,” but is it not worth the effort? GOOSEBONE RAIN PROPHECY When crickets sing sharply rain is L near. — Kain is approaching when geese wash in flocks. , When flowers close their petals in daytime prepare for rain. When chickens go to roost in the daytime, rain is certain to fall. When the roosters go crowing to bed be sure that rain will fall shortly. When the housefly is unusually troublesome predict an early shower. || When the leaves of-the trees show H their undersides one is safe in preh dieting rain. When women's bangs go out of curl it is well to carry, an umbrella with you. j - A When the owls’seek shelter in the R barn rain is almost certain to fall || within a few hours. || ' When the birds fly low and spar--11 rows sty in large flocks the rain prog|H nosticator is safe in warning of a || | shower. !

WORTH MORETHAN FORTUNETO HER Mrs. Hutchinson Didn’t Have a Well Day in 14 Years—Tan lac Restores Health. "When 1, began taking Tanlac I only weighed one hundred ami two pounds and there was never a day when 1 was free from suffering, but now 1 am in perfect health and weigh one hundred and forty-five pounds,” satd Mrs. Nellie Hutchinson. 616 East Market St., Indianapolis, Ind. “Four fourteen years," said Mrs. "I was in bad health and kept going down until I was just a nervous wreck. Even the ringing of the telephone, would mak ■ me.jump and'for years I

never knew what it was to get a good night's slot p. I had violent, throbbing headaches, my back was so weak and achy I couldn't stoop over or lift just a few pounds without suffering almost unbearable agony. 1 couldn't turn my hand to any work about the house without getting all exhausted and feeling weak ami trembly for hours. If I I tried to go up stairs my heart palpi-1 fated so 1 just gasped for breath, and at times I thought I had heart trou-1 ble. Nothing did me any good and it looked like I was going to suffer the * rest of my days. "Well, Tanlac l as done for me in just a few weeks what I tried tor all those years to get other medicine*-- to do. I now feel as well and strong as I ever did in my life and can work hard nil day without tired. My friends say they never saw.such a change in anybody, afid my improve- ■ inent has been so wonderful I can "hardly realize it m<self, Tanlac has been worth more than a fortune to i me.” z ' Monroe News L-. .. ■ —. — Frank Miller, representative of the | George Creamery company, Fort I Wayne, was in town Wednesday on i | business.

Anthony Hackman of Decatur was . in town Wednesday on business. j Perry Hunt and wife visited T. J. I Rayl and family this week. I Miss Sylvia Rayl spent Sunday with I Miss Rena Hcffsiner, south of town, ill Mrs. Joseph Winans of Pleasant I Mills stopped here while. enroute toll Berne Tuesday. , | What Monroe needs. The erection I of a town hall, which has beers under I consideration for lo these many years. I If this subject would materialize, it il wculd. be a saving of several dollars I per year. As it now is, the town board 11 is paying rent for a meeting place, for. J housing the fine engine, and various-! | other renta'lß. which could be elim-d inated by having their own building. | A suitable hall on the second floor would be a sohree of revenue to the | town and would be in demand for many | purposes. Let the "town dads tak? | this matter up again at their meeting! and revive tye subject which has so long been asleep. This is a matter.l that is favored by a majority of our j citizens. G. W. Robbins of Winchester, Ind., J representing the Ohio Rake company, was here Thursday on business. Marion Gilbert and the Misses | Naomi Gilbert, Ada Lannniman and Martha Mt Kean were visitors at Fort Wayne Thursday. Charles Schug of Berne was a business visitor here Thursday. Ora Lobsiger, wife and daughter, Betty, of Bluffton, were visitors here! on Thursday. Z. O. Lewellen was a business visitor at Wren, Ohio, Thursday. RISE OF QUEER TERMS "Living on tick” dates back to the seventeenth centry, when a trades- j man’s bill was known as "a ticket. "Welcher” owes its origin to an English individual of the name of I Welch, notorious for failure to meet his obligations. r “A cock and bull story” is a corruption of the phrase “a concocted and bully story.” “Jitney" seems to be a corruption of Mexican slang meaning “next to nothing” or "of practically no value.” “Hustler,” in the Vnfted States, de scribes one who is diligent and makes the most of his opportunities. In England a "hustler” is a pickpocket. I "Salt River,*” in its commAp usage, t refers to an imaginary river up which defeated politicians are supposed to be sent to the port of obflvion. >,— . ’ . 1 "Grass widow” is a corruption, through the- French, of an old Latin phrase, "Vidua de gratia,” literally. •- "a widpw by grace.” In its ancient usage it referred to a woman who i had been divorced or permitted to live apart from her husband, and therefore, a grace widow, or widow by grace.

I NEW YORK POLfCE IN BIG RIVER BATTLE A thrilling pistol battle on East Rffver within the shadow of the celebrated Brooklyn bridge between the New York polk'e boat and a band of dock thieves, is one of the sensational incidents in "While New York Sleeps,” a Fox special, which has been booked i for the Mecca theatre tonight and Saturday. This picture is hailed by many critics as the most sensational and artistic picture of its kind ever produced. Charles J. Brabin, the director, ‘■cored a distinct triumph in the annuls of the picture game, it is declared. ’’ when he was successful In enlisting 3 the assistance of the New York po--3 Hets department for the big fight scene. 1 The police also Tendered invaluable 1 aid to the director by providing him with accurate detail tor portrayal of ' tne underworld scenes and in the slum district of New York's east side. The picture stands as a unique ■ achievement In the world of motion pictures, being divided into three acts, which depict in turn a, thrilling incident in the lives of the upper, middle ! and lower classes of New York's peofrti . A feature which makes the pic | tur of nation-wide interest is an en- | tire dancing number from Florenz | Ziegfield's famous show, “The Midnight Frolic.” Gorgeous scenes ta-1 ken in the (’ale Palais Royal are included in the picture. Tlie players were purposely confined I Ito a very small cast, w hich incKides ! i Mare Mac-Dermott, Estelle Taylor, Harry Sothern, Earl Metealfe and William Dicke. None is featured, but the] work of the principals is said to be marvelous considering the versality | they were obliged to dpsilay in their I wide range of chartlTters, There are toads in India that eagerly swallow bits of red-hot charcoal with no apparent discomfort. .
