Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The railroad operators announce in literature being sent out and in Interviews with press associations that they are reducing freight rates when and where they can and have already cut two hundred thousand tariffs. That's fine but the trouble is we can’t seem to locate any of the reductions. Evidently they haven't so tar effected this part of the country and this is an awful good part to be left out of any thing like that. If you are planning a trip on the traction better take a look at the new time table, published today. Several slight changes have been been made and two cars taken off. Decatur has a band to be proud of. They are coining along in real style and within a few- weeks will be recognized as one of thd best in this territory. Mr. Rice who is directing them has had the experience, loves his work and is glad to thus assist the home town boys. The crowd which attended last evening’s concert, the first of a series of twelve given through the efforts of the band leaders and the business men of Decatur who so generously contributed, prove the popularity of those events. The people love music and that’s a good sign. Mr. Dawes is receiving the plaudits of the country because of ids emphatic assertions that he proposes to save the nation a billion dollars. Fine. But we have been fooled so often by assertions of intentions that

we will have to be shown. We do not doubt the good intentions of Mr. Dawes but it’s a big job and that gentleman has not yet felt the opposition of politicians, dissatisfied office holders, job seekers and those who will thus bo returned to civil life and actual work. When he has disregarded these mid pushed on, he will be entitled to the applause and not before. Talk is cheap but what we need and want is action. Os course" there is some merit in the tiling proposed in some of the constitutional amendments to be voted ou September 6th but most of them are vicious und the very fact that it establishes a dangerous precedent of changing the most important document in the state at every whip stitch should make the voters of Indiana view the efforts now being made, with considerable alarm. Be careful. Try reading the declaration of independence over next Monday. The occasion is the Fourth of July, anniversary of the date upon which that important document was signed and the beginning of the greatest nation in the world. We are just a little apt to forget what the day merfus and we ought never do that. Yep we are getting back to normalcy — the Public Service Commission of Indiana actually turned down a petition for an increased rate for the Home Telephone Company of Fort Wayne. The rates there are $3.50 for a business phone and they asked for i six dollars, claiming that they could i not earn any money. The commission found that they are now earning ‘ about eight per cent and that exi peases could be reduced some $37,- • 000 per year if they wanted to. The ■ boys at Fort Wayne don't seem to be > in right or something or can it be > that the commission is awakening to I the fact that the public is mad and awful tired of the up grade of over head ? After nearly three years, the con- > gress of the United States has decid- . ed that we are now at peace with i Germany and Austria. The resolut tion adopted late yesterday provides

In another few years we will probably have a treaty with these countries and have some of the things we could have had by accepting the treaty a long time ago.

This is the rematk alffe achievement of Lady Fuiclue®. pedigreed Barred Plymouth Rock hit in the Purdue University poultry fl®l who included in this record the f«i of laying 79 eggs in 79 days. Bitter she did not know when Sunday calm or she was naturally just so fulllo eggs that she had to work on th, Sabbath the same as other days. 1 She was hatched March 10, 192> and classed as an early hatched idre one of-the points emphasized by th» Purdue poultrymen for years. Ee cause of this early hatching she ma tured before cold weather last fall am during October laid 12 eggs wsei “eggs were eggs." In November sli laid 11, in December 5, and in J imi ary she produced 26 eggs.

t egi the last day of May. However, islie started in again June 1 and did 'not miss a day up to June 14th, laying 13 straight. She is still laying, though not so regularly. ‘ Lady Purdue is an excellent illustration of what good breeding good feeding and good management will do. Ti>. blue blood of poultry aristiv-racy flows through her veins. Her site, SCiiD'uea from a western agricuittral college, was from a hen who layed 1-211 eggs in a year and her dam was strt.ii the famous Hailer man and F. ;. B. Thompson Barred Rock strains, mother lips a record of 182 eggs t a year to her credit and her grandk r.i > her was even better with 220. Thus il.it may be seen that Lady Purdce is j soma family of high producers. She £ has received the standard Purdue lay- >: ing ration of fifteen pounds of ervkt nd corn, 5 pounds of wheat, 5 pounds of cats, and a dry mash mixture inbicluuing five pounds of bran five i. pounds of shorts and three pounds of Ij tankage. The grain is always fed in deep straw litter so that the hens get plenty of exercise scratching for it. i "Her body measurements carry ou’ i the utility requirements for a good p layer,” sa’d T ?ol. A. G. Philips -a tern 1 menting on her record.” She has .-in h- extended, slab-sided body and carries |. out width of her back well toward the It- rear. She also shows au excelled j. abd< tultM development and has every g indication of being a high producer. : - NOTICE 1 J June 27 to July sth my office will R be closed. n N. A.
