Indiana, as second-class matter. An army of 25,000 unemployed men gave a demonstration in the streets of Bridgeport, Conn., which until the normalcy period was introduced was a busy factory city of New England. The men seem to have awakened to the tact that a lot of the present depression is being brought about by capitalists who desire to force wages down but to retain their own profits A formal protest was sent to the city and state officials which won't do much good. The men in control announced their intentions before the last election and seem to feel they can go as far as they like. Elections being held this year however would indicate that tifere is a limit to it and this fact will be most noticeable in the full electfo’ to bn held over , the country.

The new law would cost about five billion dollars and will probably be killed at the time when it will seem just in grasp of the men who sacrificed their all for their country. W. J.

A r new drink, neither beer nor whiskey, nor any dopey junk, but a drop of i which will make you frisky and a • spoonful make you drunk, has been i discovered by the new sugar college ' of Cuba. Scientists declare that the drink contains not a drop of alcohol nor any substance which would bar its importation into the United States, under any present lautf. It is made from sugar but the entirely new and wildly intoxicating liquor is dependent upon a secret chemical transformation, it may not last long but probably while it does will be the most popular article and with plenty of agents willing to work on commission. it is officially reported and admitted that more than five thousand men are out of work in Fort Waynq. That's getting so close home that a good many will begin to realize just what normalcy means. When the word was used last campaign not a hundred people knew what it meant. Now most every person old enough to eat understands it fully. *1 Some time in May an emergency tariff bill was passed and became a law, carrying a thirty-five cent duty on wheat. There were a number of speeches made to prove that this would save the farmer’s financial life. Most people realized it is a political joke and now they have the proof. On June Ist the price of wheat on the Chicago market was $1.38 while yesterday it was $1.17. Now congress proposes to make it still more impossible for the farmer to make a cent by building a tariff wall about the United States which will shut out foreign imports and make it impossible for those of other c runtries to buy our goods and crops. No wonder the republicans are themselves dividing on the subject. A

Eat less, and do the sensible thing. Thais about ull any one can prescribe unless you cun get to Alaska or some other port of ice. State commissions aid boards may be a tine thing—we have always doubted it—but whatever may be said in their favor, no one will con tend that they are speedy. They run on red tape gasoline and most es the time on one cylinder. Two months ago we began calling attention to the fact that the north bridge located on the state highway is dangerous because no rails have beqn provided to guard the dangerous approaches at either end. Nothing has been done. The Adams county board of commissioners adopted a resolution this week, requesting that iintpediate action be taken and a copy has been ent to the highway commission at Indianapolis. It is hoped that they will act but don't expect it soon. Remember it’s a commission and that a certain amount iff red taptiis necessary.

Well so far as results are concerned they might as well. All the legislation enacted during the past three years could have been taken cate of by a good organization in a week, but perhaps the sweatout now being given the aristocratic members will get some of the poison out of them so they can really get down to business by Christmas. if you really want the parking rules changed for the down town district ft is plainly up to you to petilion fbr it. In some cities signs designate how long you can park at various places thus preventing congestion. There is a reasonable and sensible way to do it if you want to but you can’t expect the council to change it every time some one has a different idea.

After several various forms of music numbers had been rendered and many amusing incidents of by-gone days were recalled the guests were escorted to the supper table which was downstairs where it was cool ami pleasant as underneath the electric fans that bring cool air to the tables at the Morrison Terrace Garden. Chicago. The guests who have eaten meals in the leading hotels of new York and Chicago declared that last Saturday night's supper of real country fried chicken, potatoes, gravy, cakes and pies of various sorts and other good eatables too numerous to mention, had never been surpassed as yet by any of the city tables. Short ly after supper it seemed that Miss Louise Smith had a very urging business transaction to do up town. Tillman Lehman then politely motored to Monroe with Miss ijmith so she might do the very necessary stopping. After they left it was revealed to the other guests that this was a little scheme planned by Miss Smitli to give the people all a chime to gather unepxectedly. It worked out fine and Tillman was indeed surprised. A very pfeasant time is reported by all present. Games were played in the yard. The accordion music added to the pep of the evening. It was plainly heard at a distance over two miles. After a splendid luncheon had been served at a rather late hour Miss Barbara Smith announced the date.

Speaking for myself and not for the balance of the business men. I believe that this ordinance should stand as it is, allowing machines to park where ever they can find parking places. Os course, there should be some rules to go by a3 I have noticed in other cities; having the space marked oft allowing machines to park just so near one inother that will stop congestion, an! will mean much for the people censing to our city as well as the business men on Second street. If we want to drive the trade away from Decatur, just take away the privilege of parking cars up town and this will be the result. The people of this vicinity like to come to town in the evening and spend a few hours visiting with their friends and doing their shoping. but a man with a family does not want to park| his car down around the Clover Leaf railroad or the Waterworks park and walk up town to buy his goods and 1 ao not believe he will do so but will drive to other cities where he is, welcome. Now is the time for the business I men to get together and inform our! council that we want this parking ordinance to stand with a few good parking spaces laid off on Second street to try out on and I believe it*
