Entered at She postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Some son of a gun has figured out that October is to be the hottest month ever known in this country. I Some way or other we are expected to dip so near the sun that we will get scorched so don’t throw away your palm beach or old straw. Borah will fight the German treaty and threatens to cause an upheaval in the senate similar to that one staged over the Versailles treaty. The public is not so much interested in the terms as they are in getting the matter disposed of so that the world can get down to business again. According to a ruling just made by I Chairman Haynes of the prohibition board, you can’t even have fruit juices in your cellar without a permit and absolutely no wines or home brew of any kind. One of the troubles seems to be that those fellows in the department don’t know, themselves just what they want for they change their rulings so often its difficult to keep up with them. The fact that the Decatur Castings Company is operating nine hours each day with a force of fifty men on and orders coming nicely is the best evidence we have heard that there is an improved condition. We ave sure of the stability of the foundry and know that when things do open this splendid concern will be the busy bee mart of this section and is good news that they are going so nicely now. A national conference to discuss unemployment of the United .States and the reasons therefor and how eonditions can be improved, will be held next Monday in Washington. Mr. Hoover will represent the administration. By the way great things were expected of this Mr. Hoover but if he has performed thus, some one is covering it up. Here’s your chance secretary, figure out how the ten million find jobs at good wages without bothering Gary and the rest of ’em. The organization of the Indiana branch of the finance board with Evans Woollen as chairman may mean great financial relief in this state. It is reported that one hundred million dollars will be turned ■over to this board for distribution among the various counties. This money will be loaned to farmers to assist them in financing their farms

’ on long time loans, thus relieving banks of carrying the loans and making it easier for every one. Official . announcement has not been made p and the plans have probably not ■ been completed but something defl- , nite is expected within the next couple of weeks. i Herman L. ('enter, of Decatur, has J been made u very line offer to take I up duties with the Gary Trust & ’ Savings company, and in all likelii hood will accept. This will remove 1 the most likely candidate fbr state i senator so far considered, as it hud become generally known that Mr. ■ Confer would throw his hat in the ( ring when the ides of 1922 rolled around, and as it is Adams county's turn he would probably have had no I opposition. The district is composed of the counties of Adams, Black ford and Wells, and it had been con- ( ceded that Adams county was entitl- , ed to the nomination this year. Os ' course, should neither Adams’ or Wells have a candidate. Blackford can always be relied upon for mar terial.—Bluffton Evening Banner, Secretary Hoover says it will not be necessary to conduct a "drive” to raise money for food to be sent to starving Russians. So far as citi- ' zens of Decatur and surrounding I territory are concerned, that is very : good news. For the ’’drives’’ grew to be pretty much of a joke before we finally reached the last one. If there is to be another then let us have one to raise money to buy food and clothing and fuel for the hundreds of , thousands who are already commenc- ■ ing to stiffer right here in our own . land, and who are destined to go | through several months of sleet and snow without the usual comforts enjoyed by American citizens. Conditions over which we have no control have brought about a lot of suffering in this country within the past several months, and there promises to be an increase of it before we reach the end of the road and can start along a brighter path. So if there are to be any “drives” for money in America, then let’s have the money for Americans. • ( SURVIVORS OF 74th Warsaw, Sept. 21.—About fifty survivors of the 74th Indiana regiment of Civil war veterans are ex- ■ pected to attend the thirty-seventh ( annual reunion to be held in Warsaw ' tomorrow and Friday. There are about 100 members in the rapidly thinning ranks of the regiment. Dr. J. S. Smith. Warsaw is president of the association. I QUARANTINE IS LIFTED < I Lafayette, Ind..

COMING TOMORROW "THE COST OF OPPORTUNITY" ROAD MATERIAL Gravel and Stone to Be Used Next Year Extensively— Preliminary Draft in ENGINEER’S HANDS State Highway Commission Will Follow Governor McCray’s Suggestion. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept 20. —Engineers of the state highway department have coranletel the preliminary drait of plans .and specifications for building gravel and stone roads in Indiana and these will be forwarded to the district engineer of the Bureau of Roads at Chicago, for approval ’ This step, declares Lawrence Lyons director, marks the beginning of what will likely be an extensive movement to <give this state more gravel and stone roads in preference to roads of hard surface type, it i-> said. Governor McCray has declared in favor of stone and gravel in road construction as compared to concrete, bituminous and brick especially for secondary roads. This policy is adopted by the state highway commission. Naturally, in the state road system the main trunk lines will have to be hard-surfaced for no gravel or stone road will stand up under the 20 ton traffic which these principal thoroughfares are subjected to, Mr. Lyons explained. For a time there was some ques tion if Federal aid was obtainable to build stone and gravel roads, but this problem was ironed out satisfactorily and the commission authorized that government aid is forthcoming on secondary roads built of gravel and stone as well as on trunk lines where concrete or brick is used. The plans and specifications for secondary routes estimate that gravel and stone roads may be built at a cost ranging from SIO,OOO to $25,000 a miie, depending upon the amount of grading and structures, Mr. Lyons said. Plans also specify that stone and gravel roads sliall have a metal spread of eighteen feet, and the commission will endeavor to obtain a 50foot right of way between property lines. This is done! jt was explained, because in the future when traffic is doubled or trebled, road beds may be widened and made capable of carrying lines of traffic. N. K. Todd of the state tax board was a business visitor in this city last evening. . V

CASES DISMISSED Poultry Dealers Appear in Mayor’s Court on Charge ■ of Failure to TAKE OUT LICENSE Affidavit Filed by Detective Association Official —to Comply With Law. A half-dozen poultry dealers wef-'l in Mayor Yager's court this morning, on an nffidvlt filed by John Stults. of the Adams County Horse Thief Detective association, charging them with failure to comply with the laws of the state in taking out a license to permit them to do business. Those to appear were Harry Moltz, of the Decatur Produce Co.; Joe Berlilng, of The 11. Berling Co.; John Nelson of the Home Store at Monroe; John Everhart, of Monroe, and a representative of the Enterprise Store at Monroe. It seems that all of the dealers had had a license this year, but had neglected to take out the necessary papers this year, hence they were all operating in direct violation of the statute. Several years ago the legislature passed a law which requires the license, and compels the poultry dealers to keep a close tab on all fowls purchased. This is done to assist officials in running down any chicken thieves, who may have visited the farmers of the state, and sold the fowls to the dealers. It is considered a mighty good law. After consultation with the officials, and the announcement on the part of the dealers to immediately secure a license, Mr. Stults of the Detective association agreed to drop the prosecution. and the affidavits were consequently dismissed.

Other men making strong bids for positions are Macklin, Briner, Dick Myers, Clyde Myers, Kinzle, Frisinger. When the team takes the field for their first ga’me at home they will be outfitted in new jerseys, colored gold, instead of the conventional purple. The new uniforms gives the team a fine appearance. Coach Moore is making a great effort to put his fight and enthusiasm in the team. The same spirit wnich carried Moore through -a victorious season at Linton last year. He is a stickler for speed and aggressiveness and when the whistle blows at Warsaw, it is certain that Moore’s “yellow-jackets" will take the field in a fighting frame of. mind. —.—a —>— Henry Colter of Robo was a business caller in this city today.

SAYS HER RECOVERY IS ALMOST LIKE A MIRACLE

From Helpless Invalid io Complete Restoration oi Health, Strength an d Happiness Is Wonderful Change Mrs. Root Experienced in Three Weeks Statement One oi Most Remarkable On Record. "Just a week before I started taking Tanlac I was down In bed so crippled up with rheumatism I eould not move without help. My son had taken Tanlac, and It had done him a world of good, so one day he brought home a bottte and said, "Mother, 1 want vou to take this.” When I had finished that bottle. 1 felt like u different woman, and by the time 1 had finished the second bottle, 1 was out in the garden hoeing. "Tanlac has simply done wonders for me; it almost seems like a miracle." This is the remarkable statement made recently by Mrs. Jennie Root, residing at 1409 Powers street, Portland. Oregon, ami is only one of tens of thousands from well-known men and women who are daily testifying to the powers of Tanlac. Continuing her wonderful statement, Mrs. Root said. "For years I suffered terribly with rheumatism, and would often be down in bed for days at a time. In the last five years there was not a time that I didn’t feel those rheumatic pains all through my body. About two months ago 1 got very much worse and my arms and legs were so bad I was almost helpless and couldn't even hold a pen to sign my name. I was so weak I could not do any housework. I couldn’t even sleep, and had no rest day or night. Even to walk a few steps would tire me out completely. When I tried to walk I would stagger, and when I did walk a little way and sat down I could not get up without some one helping me. I had no appetite and hardly ate enough to keep me alive. I could not stoop over far enough to get my shoes on. , "I never knew what a night's sleep was and would lie awake for hours. At times I would get very cold and would have to get up and sit by the fire all huddled up. and my daughters would put hot water bottles all around me. I was treated by four doctors, and took all kinds of medicine. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Teeple and daughter, Alta, and Mr. Sim Fordyce returned yesterday afternoon from their summer home at Rome City.

A'* MRS. JENNIE ROOT Nothing ever did me any good. I am just like a different person now. All those terrible aches and pains have left me, and only the other day I was able to walk up four flights of stairs in an office building when the elevator was out of order. "My appetite is just splendid now, and just today for the first time in years, 1 felt so hungry that I had to go and eat a piece of pie between meals. In fact, I can’t remember the time that I have felt as well as I do now. I have not only regained my health and strength, but I have gained fourteen pounds in weight. To tell you the truth. I wouldn't exchange the benefit I have received from Tanlac for the best ranch in Oregon, and I will praise it as long as I live.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by SmithYager & Falk and by leading druggists everywhere.
