Admiral Sims has been ordered home, Colonel Harvey has been “gagged,” the house has passed another resolution declaring the war over but in the meantime we struggle on without a market, with the factories down, with five million men out of work, with higher taxes and no real effort to get down to hard pan and start the wheels of progress and business. It looks like a "fizzer.” The combination sale of merchants here today attracted buyers from far and near, made this a good trade day in Decatur and helped every merchant here whether or not he expected it. It pays to be alive and it pays to urge the people to trade in Decatur. The special sales here will continue as announced in the various advertisements and there are many opportunities which you cannot afford to pass up.

We are not keeping up on the lighting proposition and the splendid record made recently when the attention of this was called to the officials, is evidence that it can be done but that some one must give it constant attention. It helps so much that it does seem it would be worth the trouble: We are not going to chew it over all the time but we hope that those in charge will continue to give the service we had for a couple of weeks.

’ Ono of the proposed amendments on which you are to vote in September reads: ‘The General Assembly ■ may provide by law for the levy and collection of taxes on Incomes and from whatever source derived, in such oases and amounts and in such manner as shall be prescribed by law and reasonable exemptions muy be provided.” Pretty broad, don’t you think? There is no limit to which they cannot go in taxing your income. It means another bunch of state agents to meddle with your private 1 affairs. It means millions for the 1 few in position to handle it. It « means the keeping out of Indiana < manufacturing industries and invest- € era. Surely this method will not be 1 adopted by vote of the people.

James W. Good of lowa, republican member of congress and chairman of the house appropriation committee has resigned because of an empty purse. His parting word was that unless the present congress settles down to business, quits bluffing and actually reduces government expenses and lifts the war burden to some extent, they will face a big fight to remain in power. Government economy and taxes will be the issues which will transcend all others next year and in the next presidential contest and unless genuine efforts are made to meet these problems to the satisfaction of the people, the results will not be hard to guess. 1 — i j Portland is having a blue law war and a near riot there on Sunday caused more excitement than usual even in that city of divided belief in Sabbath rules.

angles to the Portland affair which probably won’t be disposed of for several months. During the next few years the most talked of public question in this country will be the road building proposition. Recently the tide seems to have turned to hard surface roads with the indication that many millions will be spent along this line. It sounds fine until you begin to investigate and then you discover that over in France and Germany wherJ the question of roads has been a paramount one for half a century, th£ only plan that works is to build gravel or macadam roads and then keep them up. In those countries an over-

seer has charge of each mile or two and is constantly at work keeping thf> holes filled up and the road in perfect condition. As a result they have the finest roads in the world. Hard surface roads cost a lot of money, mean continued higher taxes and must be rebuilt in less time than the other roads, it is claimed. At least the question is serious enough to receive your thought and attention. ANTIOCH SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTING Next Thursday, June 16th the Antioch Sunday school will have a day’s outing for the school at the Bellmont park. The folks will meet at 10 o’clock at the B. F. Beery home and go to the park together. All the neighbors and friends are invited to go along and spend the outing day with us. Bring your dinner and come. You are welcome.

PASSE The "Most Beautiful Car in' America, Paige Makes a Clean Sweep Breaks Every Official Stock Chassis Record From 5 to 100 Miles at Uniontown Track

The Paige triumph is now complete. From 5 to 1(10 miles, all world’s official speed records for a stock chassis were captured by the Paige “6-66” Davtona Model at the Uniontown, Pa., track May 29111, 1921. Following a world’s stock chassi record made January 21st. when the Paige “6-66” Daytona model covered a measured mile in 35:01 seconds, the Uniontown performance caps the climax to a long series of amazing records. Paige, thus, has made a clean sweep and stands today the unchallenged master of power and speed—the supreme and unique example among automotive products for heroic stamina ami endurance. When the mile record fell in January, Paige determined to make the record complete. With the officials of the A. A. A. racing board in charge, the track at I niontown. Pa., was selected and Mulford driving a Daytona “6-66” stock chassis was off to shatter records that had remained unassailable since July 28th, 1917. A Clean Sweep The first five miles were covered at a terrific pace, the electric timer recording 3 minutes, 15:48 seconds, a speed of 91.8 miles an hour. From there on the Paige, came roaring over the official’s wire with clock-like regularity that ate up the miles greedily. Twenty-five, thirty, fifty minutes went by and there was no noticeable slackening of speed. , . . ~. t When the Paige thundered across the tape at the end of the 100th mile the feat had been accomplished. • In the most consistent performance ever recorded the records had fallen. The five, ten. twenty, twen-ty-five, fifty, seventy-five, 100-mile ami One-Hour records had been beaten in every instance by a handsome margin. The official figures showed that Paige had covered the full century in one hour. 6 minutes and 53.26 seconds, or 89 miles, 1510 yards in 60 minutes—which is just 250 yards less than 90 miles. The former hour record was 83 miles. And now for a brief review of “6-66” history.

Speed—Power—Endurance When a “6-66” stock chassis made the fastest official time of the season for the Pike’s Peak climb, some idea of its amazing power and stamina was revealed under unusual circumstances. When on January 21st the Paige “6-66” Davtona model traveled at a rate of 102.8 miles an hour, thus setting an official world’s stock chassis record for a mile, the fleetness of the “6-66” was established. ‘When at 100 different points throughout the country 100 new local hill climbing records were made, the power of the Paige “6-66” became a countrywide sensation. Now with these new records from 5 to 100 miles, made without a stop, Paige has incontestably established its supreme powers of endurance, as well as of speed. There could be no feat that answered all questions of supremacy with greater finality. k A* The lesson to the car owner is obvious. No matter what price he may be willing to pay he can find no car on the market today that offers him more than the Paige “6-66.” The record is compk te, and Paige .stands as the undisputed leader of all American sporting cars. In Your Own Interest — Make This Test We ask you to take just one demonstration in a ”6-66” model and judge it from the standpoints of power, speed, acceleration, spring suspension and general motor efficiency. Get the facts —actual lapsed time of the tests—and make a record on the demonstration card furnished by our Dealer. Then take a second demonstration in any other car, at any price, and compare results. That is all we ask—and we make no prophecies whatever in regard to your ultimate conclusions. Wc merely want you to know the “6-66 in action. We want you to compare it detail for detail—pi' 1 ; formance for performance—with the finest ana most expensive cars of the nation. Then, decide for yourself whether the "6-66 is or is not the greatest dollar for dollar value ewi offered to the motoring public.
