Thursday, and Friday the Chicago & Alton, and Wabash, wade a like cut. Perhaps this Is the beginning ot a re-adjustment of the relations between the railroads and the public. Travel lias undoubtedly been cheeked by the high cost of transportation, which in some cases is double what it was before the war, or more than that. Such rates have directly interfered with commerce in restricting the activities of commercial travelers and of theatrical companies, and in this vacation season many persons have taken short trips, or none at all, when it had been their custom to go considerable distances for their outings. The cut rates in the west appear to be the direct outcome of competition, and there is little doubt that this economic force will play a part in getting the country back on a normal basis. If people will not buy goods or services at the price demanded for them, the price must be reduced in order to keep business moving, for no concern, carrier or other, can maintain itself unless business moves. This necessity became apparent to commercial houses something over a year ago, and since then there have been notable price reductions which there is every reason to believe prevented worse conditions. The reduction of eastern grain rate that has also been made by the railroads leads to the expectation that

' the carriers are awakening to their true situation and will take further steps in this direction. The freight • rate does not make much difference r in the price of some goods—except as • ft is used as an excuse for charging r higher retail prices — but it does make u large difference in heavy freight, 'such as coal, lumber, brick, s cement, road building material, etc. ’ It is said that on southern lumber It s makes necessary an increase of about & 35 a thousand over prices that pre--0 vailed before the war.—lndianapolis ® News. Henry Clews, the New York bank- ,. er who each week issues a bulletin j showing the financial of this country and the world is again r becoming optimistic after a year of >- pessimism. He says we have reached the bottom and that from now on I the trend will be upward. He points ito the fact that the value of bonds ? I has increased recently and that always this is true of upward market times. He predicts an easier money market and better times and advises 1 | bond buying. Much of the depres- . sion is in the minds of people and |these kind of letters will help to im- » I prove conditions, no doubt. f■r ■ . People are not spending the money ’ this year 1 they did last and a lot of men who had privileges at the fair last week know it. They will find the same thing is trde all over the country and for the very good reason that the money is not in circulation. This is a normalcy period and thousands are not working at all and those who are can scarcely earn t * more than a living. It makes a big 1 difference. i _____ ■' The big fair and the Chautauqua ' are over, most of us have had our 8 vacation and we are ready to take on • something else that will boost the r community and help everybody in ’ the county.

This cool snap is just a little relief package and we will have’ nearly three months of pleasant climate, according to those who claim to know. At that the 100 in the shade is probably over for the season of 1921. The sugar factory has been a busy place during the past few months, providing employment for an aver- , age of seventy men and is now ready for the opening of the campaign. The company has spent thousands of dollars to meet the requirements of the conservation board and to improve the big plant which is now in excellent condition. The outlook for a big crop of beets and the fact that greater interest is being manifested by the farmers of Indiana in the beet growing industry is encouraging to those who are devoting their time to the building of this great business. The opening of the factory will mean employment for many and a general boom to business at this time. It’s a great concern and a valuable asset to the community, deserving of the co-operation of every citizen of the county.

The Officials Are Grateful (Continued frontpage one) we want the public to know of the wonderful service the Boy Scouts rendered during the week. We do not believe there is any other organization which works in greater harmony, more efficiently and politely than the Boy Spouts. If your boy belongs to the organization, you have a right to feel proud of him. and he is "fortunate to be a member. The fair association did its very best to put on the fair in a manner that would meet with your approval but we realize that many mistakes have been made. Some lamentable things have happened that were beyond the control of the organization. These were remedied as fast as they were found out. Some of the offenders have been punished and the rest of them have not yet had their trials, and these will be dealt with according to law’s we are trying to uphold regardless of their station in lifeWe appreciate the many . compliments and encouragements we have received, and shall'endeavor to make next year’s fair bigger and better. Some of the concessionaires were disappointed in not being able to make the huge profits they did last year, but this is true of practically every business in America, for wish the tightness of money and the dullness in all lines of business, the public is not spending with the free hand they did last year, even though the attendance was far greater than a year ago. Especially do we feel grateful in knowing that the public as a whole, with just a few exceptions, felt that they had received more for their money's worth for gate admissions and grandstand, as well as th« fireworks. It cost a tremendous'lot of money to put on this show, and we were determined to give the public more than its money’s worth, and the fact that they appreciate the work of the fair association is very gratifying to us. Again thanking each of you, and assuring you that next year’s fair will be of the same high standard as this year’s, we are Yours,vwy truly, , FRED REPPERT, Secretary. ) W. P. SCHROCK, President, J. O. SELLEMEYER, Manager. * :—_ NOTICE I will start my eider mill Tuesday, August 3th. and v, ill’make cider cv'ery Tuesday and Thursday until further notice. 186-t6 P. KIRSCH.

DECLARES IT WAS SURPRISE OF LIFE South Bend Man Says His Muscles Are Now .hist as Strong as Iron ) “If all the run down, suffering people in South Rend knew what I know about Tanlac they certainly wouldn’t lose any time in getting a bottle," wa» the statement macle by Chn-les E. McGriff, a coal driver, living at 205 East Dubail avenue. South Rend. Ind. "My back used to hurt me so bad I thought I just could not hnndle an other truck load of coal. When 1 stooped over to pick up my shovel i seemed that I would break in two and the pains were so sharp 1 could hardly straighten up. I also Buffered from indigestion, lost my appetite, and coldn’t eat anything without bloating all up with gas until I felt s> tight across ifty chest I could hardly get my breath. 1 suffered so much from headache and nervousness 1 couldn't half sleep at night, and I often felt rhat I would gladly give a thousand dollars if I could get my health back. “Well, nothing helped me until I got Tanlac. but this medicine certainly has given me the surprise of my life. I picked up rabidly after I started taking it, and now my back never hurts me a bit and 1 can shovel coal all.day long and lift and tug at my work right on without getting tired. My indigestion is gone, my appetite is so keen I eat three good meals a day and sometimes a snack between meals, and I’ve actually gained twelve pounds in weight. My nerves and muscles are like iron again, and I sleep like a log every night and feel strong and well as a school boy. After he way Tanlac has helped me I wouldn’t feel right if 1 failed to let others know about the i . medicine.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith. Yager & Falk and by leading druggists everywhere.
