Read what his opinion and that of a great business man is on the Fordi.ey tariff. It may mean something to you: "Marshall Field and Company appeal to 25,000 retail merchants throughout the United States to defeat the American valuation plan of the new Fordney tariff bill. The words “American valuation" sound Innocent, but are not. They involved a complete overturn of tariff and protection methods, render useless years of valuation and taxation experience and threaten with confusion the real business of the country. ■ The idea of a tariff is to protect! first, labor, second, industry and commerce. The sound plan is to find the difference of labor and manufacturing cost between the foreign country and this country, then tlx the tariff accordingly. “The tax, of course, must be based on the foreign VALVE. It it costs I ten dollars in America and five dol- i lars abroad, tax accordingly on a j basis of FOREIGN VALUE. “Any other method would add to the consumer’s cost, disorganize wholesale and retail'distribution, and make bad times worse times. Any merchant or other citizen Interested may get complete details, facts and, figures by writing to Marshall Field and Company, Chicago.” Reports that Mr. Mellon is to give up the treasury portfolio ai*e quite persistent.

That’s Grape-Nuts. I I The twenty hours of continuous baking have produced, from the natural richness of wheat and malted barley, a food that is uniquely sweet with sugar developed from the grains themselves, and whose crispness and flavor make a delightful I appeal to every member of the family. And Grape-Nuts is soundly nourishing —a great builder of health and strength. r.' 1 ! ’ ’ I Served with cream or milk, as a cereal for breakfast or lunch, or made into a I pudding for dinner.

has been coming out of Washington and it is repealed, notwithstanding recent denials from the White House. It may be reasonably considered that Mr. Mellon scarcely likes hij job. It Is the heaviest in the government and just ut present most thankless. The head of the treasury must get and spend the money to keep the government running and that can be only with the aid of congress. Mr. Mellon and congress have apparently not worked well together. The statesmen are not well inclined to take counsel from even the most important cabinet officer in the government. Mr. Mellon may not know much about the ins and outs of the political and other ulterior designs embraced always in tariff-making and in fiscal legislation, but he does seem to know something of what the country stands most .in need just now. He and the political statesmen do not agree and are not likely to agree. Mr. Mellon is finding It is a lot less fun to be banker for the government than for himself. A change in the treasury is not only most probable but repeated changes in the j treasury are not improbable. That is a job no one will long care to cher | ish during the next few years. The man who has it will be burdened with sore trials and for the immediate future at least handicapped by a congress uncommonly difficult to deal with. —Fort Wayne Press. Laws regulating automobiles are made for the safety of the public and to be effective, must be enforced, i Those who do not obey the laws and ; the warnings of the officers must expect to pay the fines. If every one will assist- in seeing that the laws and ordinances are obeyed to the letter, the community will be that much better off. One accident may spoil your life or that of some one else. I Why take a chance? There is no need of it for really it s easier to follow the laws than not to. The officers have nothing to do but enforce them.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 192 T,

IF r j jfflji tsmuXm IX Picture shows have almost generally barred Fatty Arbuckle films. That’s wise for whether he is technically guilty or not he has certainly given an opportunity to the people to_Jearn a lot about him they never knew and his smile is not so popular jas a week ago. He is unclean and unfit and whether guilty or not he I should not be made the hero of any . more films. The picture show business will prove bigger and better if they get rid of a lot of immoral people like the Arbuckle crowd. A citizen wants to know if there are not some laws regulating the use of bright lights and spot lights while driving through city streets. There are and also laws regulating the use of lights on the highway and every citizen has a right to file affidavits when they notice violations of the laws. Sixty thousand railroad, men are to meet in Chicago Sunday according to announcement. They will discuss what is to be done now that the shop men have voted to strike. The public hopes they will decide not to add this to the other troubles of normalcy. The merchant who quits advertising these days is losing his best opportunity. When there is real competition and when business is slow the live ones push and always get results. Reports of business conditions are more encouraging and if every one will help a little the year 1922 can be made a big one for every one. What do you say that we try it? MONROE NEWS Albert Spuler, wife and daughter, |Francile, of Fort Wayne, were here Monday. Miss Francile is attending the Monroe high school. Harve Sells and family and the Misses Mary and Martha McKean were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Schwartz at a Sunday dinner last Sunday. The Monroe high school is now in perfect working order, with the exception of a high school orchestra. They have the talent available, and some good instructor in that line can secure a good position as teacher during the school term. There is a movement now on foot to form a musical organization of that kind, and no doubt will be perfected within a short time. Let’s all boost for a high school orchestra. It will be a great benefit to our school system. Ambrose ’ Durbin, of southeast of town, is suffering from a very sore and painful left hand caused by havI Inga hay hook run into it. Marshal R. A. Andrews got busy Monday night looking after auto tail lights violators, and rounded up Asa Tucker who happened to drive in without having a lighted tail light. Ilarshal Andrews says he will keep up ibe work until every violator of the taw now in effect is rounded up and punished. Great interest was manifested at the Methodist church on last Sunday, when Dr. W. L. Rowe, who recently returned Jrom an Inspecting tour in Africa among the missionaries in various parts of that country. In the evening lie gave a steropticon lecture of. that’ foreign 1 country. Throughout thie day Revs.' Tinkham of , Deaotur, Reynolds of Geneva, and Fenstermacher gave interesting talk? and debates. Mr. Ingram Curns gaveya fine talk to the children, aft-er .which )5 in cash was awarded .the Epworth League for the best parade at tkje Booth festival' held at the Foster park on Labor day.

“FATTY” INDICTED BY GRAND JURY (Continued from page one) She failed to make the charge that Arbuckle drugged Miss Rappe into his bedroom. The body of Mias Rappe lay today in a handsome casket at un undertaking establishment awaiting the coroner's permission for burial. People, mostly women and glrla, passed the coffin at the rate of 100 an hour. Some stopped a moment to pray. Others left flowers. Miss Prevon and Miss Blako both testified at the grand jury session which resulted in Arbuckle’s indictment. They described the Arbuckle party. Miss Grace flalstead. a surgical nurse at Wakefield sanitarium where Miss Rappe died, testified that Miss Rappe was not suffering from any serious ailment which might have caused her death even if she had never'gone to the party. Attaches of the district attorney's office were hunting today for thirty persons who are said to have dropped in at Arbuckle’s apartments during the party. They are wanted as witnesses. FOR THE FARMERS Cattle Tuberculosis Work Progressing (By the County Agent) Dr. George W. Hamilton, district inspector for tuberculosis in cattle in connection with the accredited herd plan of the United States department of agriculture worked in the county on Monday and Tuesday of this week. On Monday four herds were given the annual test and if it is passed successfully they will be accredited. This will make a total of about 35 or 10 accredited herds in Adams county. The fly-free date for this vicinity s September 26th. This means that in order to be sure that wheat will not be affected by the Hessian fly, none should be sown before the date given above. General observance of this precaution will go a long way toward eliminating the fly altogether. A’ few early sown fields in a neighborhood will be a source of infection for quite a distance around. Help yourself and your neighbors by observing the date. Be sure to treat your wheat for stinking smut befote sowing. The formaldahyde treatment is quick and effective, as well as cheap. A few minutes spent in treating the seed before sowing may mean a saving of several bushels in the field next year. PEARL WHITE SCORES IN CLEVER PHOTOPLAY' “Beyond Price,” in which Pearl White appeared yesterday at the Crystal theater, is a vnry clever screen story and one that fits admirably the star's talents. It is a story of threre wishes. Mis White, though married, wishes to be the wife of a millionaire; she wishes to be a famous woman, and, lastly, she wishes to have baby arms around her neck. In the lively and often humorous scenes that follow she has all of her! wishes granted; though it should be added that she is the wife of a millionaire for only a few minutes —and ' the same is true of her fame. And ! as or baby arms, she gets four of I them from rfn orphanage to add to I her happiness. A fine cast supports her in this William Fox production. REMEMBER RIDE ON DEWITT'CLINTON TRAIN Lansing, Mich,. Sept. II. —The tour of the Dewitt Clinton (N. Y. C.) train through Michigan brought to light that this state can claim first honors in the matter of having among its | residents first passengers of the old I pioneer of the twentieth’ century limited. Mrs. Maryunne Mann, 90, Grand Rapids, claims to be the only living , woman who rode on the train during its period of operation. She was en-1 . thusiastic in describing her e.xperI iences when the train visited her io- . cality, claiming it was "unsafe” for r children. 1 Despite her assertion, John T. Ber- j ner, 96. Marshall, claimed to be the only living person who made the initial trip with the ti-aip, says he found riding comfortable at the age of 6, > when his father, the conductor of the 1 train, took him on the first journey. . Berner was wheeled to the station - at Marshall to view the old Dewitt > Clinton on her exhibition trip through ’ the state.

“To say that 1 feel twenty-five years younger, twenty-five years healthier and twenty-five years stronger expresses what Tanlac has; done for me better than any other: way 1 can put it,” said George D.| Shaw, veteran of the Civil war, who now lives at 321 Walnut street, Springfield. Mass. “I am now seventy-eight years old, and I don't hesitate to say 1 havel never known a medicine to equal Tanlac. For fifteen years I was sub-i ject to attacks of indigestion that; were so bad at times I would have | to lay up for a week or two. For a long time I lived on crackers and milk alone as nothing else agreed. with me. “When I started on Tanlac I weighed only one hundred and seventeen pounds and my days were thought to
