Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. We can’t all see all things alike but one thing we are sure ninety per cent will agree with—-congress has tooled long enough and they had better do something right now and do it well or they will hear from home. A railroad strike just at this time ■would so paralyze the country that we would not only reach the bottom but go through it. Business conditions would not long withstand the loss and inconvenience which such a, disaster would bring. There is but little doubt that the advice to buy your coal now is timely and good. There is no chance for cheaper prices in the fall and the mine operators now idle will be given an opportunity to juggle prices if every one waits until fall or winter to buy. Better fill the bin now and be safe for there is small chance to beat the prices. Students at the Reppert Auction School will receive a sincere and earnest welcome from the citizens of this community. Do you remember that those of the January session left here with enthusiastic boosts for the Decatur people and that such a result is the very best thing for any town? We are sure the summer class will be just as warmly welcomed and entertained and assisted. The trouble seems to be that too many meetings are being held in Washington. When the president disedvers that politicians are selfish and tricky and can’t agree he will begin to understand why he will have to be the president himseif whether the rest like it or not. He has no doubt changed his mind by this time on many things which he discussed last campaign. And now we are to have a high tariff which will further prevent a foreign market. At a time when we should be bidding for world trade we will build a fence around this nation

aud prevent prosperity. What does it matter if we biivu a thirty Ove cent wheat tariff if we can't sell our suvplus at any price? It begins to sound foolish even to the solons in the senate and house. Mr Quinn assures us that he Is greatly surprised at the number of nature lovers who have expressed their delight at the prospects for Hanna’s Children's Park, located just northwest of town and the most attractive natural park in this part of the state. Several hundred have tendered their assistance to him aud there' is not the least question but that the people here will to do anything possible to make this Wildwood a popular an<h always happy place for birds and children and grown-ups. Attorney General Lesh of Indiana has handed down an opinion that under a law enacted by the recent general assembly no person shall be elected to or hold the office of attendance officer unless he has completed the work of the elementary public schools. This bars those who attended private or* fiarochial schools of any kind and likewise it would seem those who did not complete the grade work. If this is possible why can’t they go farther and prevent almost any person by classification from holding office unless the little ring at Indianapolis so desires? A lot of funny business is now being pulled off. Jimmy Cox, overwhelmingly defeated for the presidency last November, at least has the satisfaction of expressing his opinion now and of reminding the voters of the justification of bis argument. He says: ■'The dawn of rehabilitation was in sight, but it was obscured by a result the effect of which in its extremity has not been felt even yet. In a word, our unhappy business conditions today are due to vast inventories bought at high prices and that cannot ,be sold even at great reduction. Europe needed every dollar of our surplus of farm and factory, and we had a prosperity not long ago upon which we could have based a credit that would have saved the day. The stagnation on the farm in November and December in 1920 and the surplus of manufactured goods all could have been avoided. Inventories would have been turned Into cash and the banks today would have had more money than at any time in the history of the country. In times past, when manufacturing was at low ebb, banks had ample funds; now money is tight and factories are doing little or nothing for the very reason that vast inventories have not

AN ADVERTISEMENT HELPED HER Mrs. Lucille Mackey, 16 Buena Vista St., Washington, Pa., writes: winter my 3-year-old girl caught a bad cold which left her with a dry cough. It bothered her most at night and she would cough until she vomited. 1 think she must have had whooping cough. I saw an advertisement for Foley’s Honey and Tar. I tried it and bought two bottles and her cough left her before she finished the second battle. She had gotten awfully thin, but now she is as fat as ever.” Sold everywhere.—Advt. • Brass Tacks about Threaded Rubber Insulation ♦ The Willard Threaded Rubber Battery is the only battery with Threaded Rubber Insulation between the plates.

The Indianapolis News says: "Edward Miranda, conductor on the Pennsylvania between Madison and Richmond, is one of those who lias a saving seise of humor and always appreciates a good joke. He, however, realizes that it is possible to carry some jokes too far. “Recently he had a regular passenger on his train from Manilla to Rushville. The fare is 20 For three days the passenger was without a ticket, and each time flashed a SIOO bill on the conductor, who was unable to change it. “The fourth day Miranda was ready for him. He got 100 silver dollars before starting on his .trip. He carried this money in a bag and waited for his passenger, who boarded the train as expected, and again flashed the big bill. The conductor coolly took the bill from him and slowlycounted out with much gravity nine-ty-nine of the silver dolars and 80 cents besides. The passenger distributed his change throughout his pockets with a look of genuine dis gust. Since then he has had a ticket every day.” HOP OFF ON SECOND LAP (United Press Service) Ft.

TWIN DEERS AT PARK Twin deers were born to the doe at Bellmont park Monday afternoon, and are about the “cutest little things” inside the park enclosure. They are fine, healthy little animals, and they are welcome additions to the menagerie at Bellmont park.
