Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Isn't it funny that Lew Shanks is a fine fellow and Don Roberts and Dr. Bunch so terrible? Now we have a packer's’ control bill and we will see how it works. The public doubts the sincerity of the men behind the law. The packers themselves had too much interest in making the law to suffer much. Adams county is the best spot on this earth. If you don't believe it, hitch up your Ford some evening and visit one of the Community clubs, now becoming numerous over the county. You will know it when you come away. Knee deep in June and some June with the thermometer popping out of the top of the tube and the corn growing so rapidly you can hear it. We are going to have crops and if a real market is provided and the freight rate question adjusted, we will be a happy and prosperous people. Next Tuesday the state highway commission will receive bids for the construction of thirty-three bridges over Indiana, more than half of which are between Richmond and Indianapolis. The estimated cost is $225,000. If you will keep track of a few of these things you cap easily figure why your taxes are exorbitant. Your money is being used to pay for these improvements in some other part of Indiana. Does it seem fair? Have you invited your friends to attend the Northern Indiana fair and Old Home Coming. August 2nd? You need not be afraid to for it is to actually be the greatest county fair in America. That’s talking in a lot of territorv but we do it advisedly. If they can’t come then they will enjoy attending the races on the Fourth or the chautauqua or the auction school or all of them. Tell ’em they can’t miss having a good time if they come to Decatur. The best move made in many years * in this county is the organization of community clubs in the various townships. The farmers meet and discuss those matters of greatest interest to them and listen to talks from experts and others. The next best move is the attendance at these meetings by business men. Farmers and merchants thus become acquainted, imaginary difficulties and misunderstandings are wiped out, a more friendly - feeling is awakened and it's just plain, common sense, old fashioned

’ livin’. Cooperation is always a great j thing and this is the greatest educational step taken in years. County • Agent Busche is a booster for this . move and he is seconded by many of ■ the most progressive citizens of the j county. It should be kept up and increased to cover every section. ( ESHHESfiEMEHS! i There is a splendid possibility that i 1 Decatur will secure during the next I > I i few weeks or by autumn at latest, a ' new industry. Representatives were here yesterday and announced the ( 1 fact that they were highly pleased. I They ask no assistance and are try- 1 ing to find the proper place in which to open a branch plant. At present ( they prefer not to make any state- , ments or to have their name used. I I The president of the company however informs us that the chance for t this city is excellent and that the matter will be definitely decided with < in a few weeks. They would employ ( fifty people to start and increase that number as rapidly as possible to perJiaps three hundred. This partial in- , formation is given that you may know , that we are still on the map and working and that some of these days « the old town will revive with a bang 1 of enthusiasm and every thing will be lovely. Keep on smiling. , — I After promising during the campaign last year to reduce the number of board and commissions in this state, the leaders pushed through the recent legislature a lot of "bunk" laws ( establishing more boards and commis- ’ sions. One of these just coming to the attention of the public is the creation of a board of registration for pro- | fessional engineers and surveyors. 1 providing for five members at salaries 1 of ten dollars a day each and all expenses. The law creating these fine < jobs for henchmen makes it neces- , sary for every person practicing engi- i neering or laud surveying to take out ’ a license at a cost of $25.00 for the’ < first year and SIO.OO each succeeding year and failure to do so subjects any ! person practicing this profession without said license, to a fine of from SIOO to SSOO and to this may be added three months imprisonment. No wonder ' we groan under the burdens of present ' day form of government. Each sue- | ceeding legislature makes it harder to live and pay your debts and in the end 1 the public pays the bilk Each campaign we are promised relief and then a few months later we get bumped by the enactment of laws providing more I boards. Evidently reduction of cost of government is not included in the normalcy program. TRACTOR CONTROL ' Demonstrated at the Omlor Farm Three Miles South of the City. Yesterday MAKES THE FORDSON A One-man Outfit — Man Seated in Binder Seat Operates Tractor at Will ■{ Yesterday afternoon at the Omlor - farm, three miles south of the city , - on the Mud Pike, a number of Adams • county farmers witnessed the demont stration of the Standard Control for i Fordson Tractors, by means of which one man seated in the seat of a binder may control the operation of a Fordson pulliug the binder or any other machine over a field and cutting grain. The gasoline feed, the operation of the cluth. and the steering wheel are controlled from the seat of the binder just as easily as if the operator was seated on the tractor with his hand on the wheel and his feet on the pedals. The invention is a wonder, and was planned and used by a farmer two years before he decided to have the attachment patented and manufactured. The Inventor, Martin A. Cline, lives at Malinta. 0.. and on Friday made a trip east of Cleveland to demonstrate the patent there. The device as demonstrated yesterday proves that it is invaluable to every man who owns a Fordson. It sells for the very small sum 'of S2B 50, and anybody can attach it in i thirty minutes. All information may J be had at the Shanahqn-Conroy j garage, and they will be pleased to , tell you of its worth. i Fred Berry, well known farmer ■ from East of the city, was a business j visitor here yesterday. 1

It will be a 1 very interesting fight and the French-1 man has a good chance to go the limit."" - Twelve Entered in Race. Speedway, Uniontown.

Cleveland-Philadelphia games. Jack’s Left is Good Weapon Atlantic City. N. J.. June IS— (Special to Daily Democrat)—Jack Dempsey"s right hand was his greatest weapon at Toledo —now his left is the best. S' I heard a lot about the improve-I ment in his left hand, but I got the ; first proof of it yesterday when her was sparring with Battling Gree, the colored boy. His left is not only the best, but he has perfected the greatest of all: ■punches, the one-two left of the original Jack Dempsey. It is the greatest blow of the ring, because there is no defense against it. Against Gree several times he shot in a terrific short left to the body and then to the jaw. Twice he had Gree out with that punch and had him a sure victim —but he held it back. If Dempsey, gets an opening for that left in the first round and gets it over with a right cross, the Frenchman will go. down and stay down. Win First Game. Burlington. Eng., June 18. —America won the first game of the international polo championship hero today. The final score was 11 to 4. In the seventh and final chukker America again scored twice while England was scoreless. The final goals were made by Hitchcock and Webb.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ Foch Doesn’t Like the Limelight ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Faris, June 17.—Marshal Foch has < an awful time of it every time they trot him out to shine at official ceremonies. The little grey-eyed gentleman. who looks more like a professor of Greek than the greatest soldier of his uro. was particularly put out when they , east him and Cardinal Dupoy as the co-stars for the Napoleon centenary. For while the Cardinal, beinj: used to the purple was quite at ease, the commander of the mightiest army ever gathered together most distintly wasn’t. He was particularly embarassed when they brought him the famous ’sword of Austerlitz,” which "the little corporal" had brandished at that battle. He lingered it gingerly, as though it were a lighted firecracker. Then he laid it across his knees, but that didn't su|t him. Next he stood it up by the side of the gilded chair in which they had placed him. But, fearing it might fall down with an awful clatter ait the solemnest moment of tire service, he took it up in his hands again. It was more of a nuisance than a. crown. One of those near to him says he heard the marshal muttering into hss moustache: “Yes, I suppose the next time they'll bring me the 'sun of Austerlitz' —and then what’ll I do with it?" DEATH CLAIMS OLDEST POILU Payis, June 16.—The "oldest poilu" of the great war, Monsieur Suruguno, mayor of Auxerre, in Murgundy, has just died. • He was 75 years old when the mobilization call came early in August of 1914. Far beyond the military age. the rugged old mayor signed tip as a volunteer, and by dint of bluffing, cajoling and threatening th army doctors, finally got himself accepted for the serviqp. And he didn't have any rear-sin-cure, either. From 1914 until early 1919 he did the dirty work of a private,' of a corporal and sergeant, in a fighting unit, and went over the top with all the rest of bright young men. He had a great civic reception in 1919 at Auxerre, when covered with mud and glory, he marched into his neglected town hall, displaying his Croix de Guerre. Medaille Military, and Legion of Honor. Latterly the old ' dean of the poiius,” as the French refer to him, removed to Paris. But the flat air of the capita! proved more detrimental to his robust old frame than the snow of Douaumont or the marshes of St. Gond; and it the supeAClemencauvian age of 82 tiie grand oid man has finally bee< gathered to his lost comrades of the war.
