You know it and you want to Increase your business. Keep telling the people what you have for sale and you will profit. Get your pen tn practice so it will write 1922. Its a big new year with thousands of posgfbilitj’ps if you help make them. The New Year approaches and we should do our part by starting in with a punch that will put it over as ' a prosperous one for every one. It takes considerable “pep" these days to make things go. Railroad men are being notified of a twenty-five percent cut in wages January Ist but news of reductions of freight and passenger rates, other than the war tax, seems slow in coming. It looks as though the public is getting the worst of the deal all around. Attorney General Lesh of Indiana urged by a letter from Attorney General Daugherty of Washington announces that many officials of the state are negligent and criminally so in neglect to enforce the prohibition laws. Well why did he wait until the orders came from Washington to enforce officers to do their duty? Governor Small of Illinois must stand trial on a charge of conspiring With Lieutenant Governor Sterling to defraud the state out of two million dollars. He was acquitted of all the charges against himself and his record as treasurer of state cleared but he is held on the conspiracy charge. To outsiders it begins to look as though it is a fight between factions. The Harold McCormicks of Chicago and Switzerland have been granted a divorce after a seven year separation. It was a quiet affair and no word of money settlement was said in court, unusual when the rich go to bat. Parties in this case say money never entered into the question. McCormick is a multi million aire and Mrs. McCormick is a daughter of John D. Rockefeller, the world's richest citizen so that neither is interested in such common place material as money. They want love and can afford financially to have it. . ■ 1 JL. . ■■ -U-’-M If Gene Debs wasn't out of prison or had the administration leaders really believed he would have talked as he has, he probably would have been resoluting in Atlanta for the New Year. He turned his prison earnings over for the defense of two communists, sentenced to death for murder and seeking aid from the governor of Massachusetts. He declares he is against capital and still believes his government is wrong. When he arrived home there was more fuss made over him than if he had been the president himself. Its a poor way to build confidence in government when those who would tear it down are given more prominence than those who defend it. day after day. V Under the heading “Age and modern youth” Meredith Nicholson writing for Harper’s magazine says: “When we find the children slipping away, excluding us from their pleasures, it's time to let them understand that we're far from being ready for the scrap heap. The fact that children don't run to bring fath era slippers as they used to doesn't mean any lack of consideration for

the parent who has worked hard all 1 day to support his family. I prefer to 1 think the passing of this custom Indi- 1 cates a hope In the young mind that father hasn’t yet reached the slippered uge, but still has a stomach not wholly satisfied with warmedover cabbage. Slippers are the symbol. the outward and visible sign of approaching senility. Father would be a lot better off if he forsook the old armchair and took the family to a vaudeville show or a movie. When my 15-year-old son looks in on me | when I'm shaving and asks, cheer- | fully, "How's the young hero feeling this morning?" I am flattered. He i doesn't mean to be impudent; he is . merely greeting me as though I were a comrade of his own age. 1 should certainly forfeit his confidence in my sense of humor if I put down the i razor to tell him that in my youth i children showed their parents more ' respect. 1 tried that for a year or two and it didn't work. My past is ; nothing to him; he finds the world as ; it is sufficient for all purposes, and if , he can have the car this afternoon - he'll be very much obliged!” GENEVA NEWS I Bert Haviland of Indiana Central ' College, Indianapolis, is spending this week at his home near here. i The damage done by the fire at the ( office of the Geneva Lumber & Sup ( ply company, last Monday afternoon ( will amount to between SBOO and SI,OOO , according to the statement made by ' the manager. Rev. I. W. Carnes and Irvin Pusey , were business callers in Decatur last Monday. , The third dance of the year was . held in the Briggs building last Mon- ( day evennig. The affair was given by ( the dancing club which has been or- , ganized by the young men of Geneva. A large number was in attendance ( and a good time enjoyed by all. Sam Brown of west of town is very low at present. Fires always come in groups of thrqe in Geneva. The second one oc- ( cured Wednesday morning when the roof of the John Shoemaker home was found to be ablaze. The fire department was summoned and a few buckets of water did the work with- . out using any chemicals. A few burned shingles was the extent of the damage? We are wondering where the third fire will be. Revival meetings will begin at Hartford church, west of town, next Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Zehr, who have been ill for some time with pneumonia arc reported better and the latter is able to sit up part of the time. Charley Drew, a student at Indiana Dental College at Indianapolis is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Drew. OBITUARY. Vernon Belvin, son of Franklin O. and Opal Baker was born June 6. 1917, died December 24, 1921. His age was 4 years, 6 months and 18 days. He was blessed with two brothers, Otis M., and Kenneth C., the latter deceased: also one sister Eldora Irene, who with the parents, the one brother and grandparents with many other relatives and friends mourn his so early departure in death. “Dear little hands, I miss them so, Althrough the day. wherever I go; All through the night how lonely it seems For no little hands wake me out of my dreams. I miss them all through the weary hours, I miss them as others miss sunshine and flowers; Daytime or nighttime, where’er I go, Dear little hands, I miss them so.” Card of Thanks. We desire in this way to express our sincere thanks to all those who helped us during the sickness and after the death of our dear little boy, Vernon; especially the undertaker, minister and choir, and also those who helped with their automobiles. — Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Baker and family. Miss Gretchen Shafer spent yesterday in Fort Wayne.

Calif., Dec. 29—(Special to Daily Democrat) —“When the last whistle blows next Monday afternoon, the Pacific coast will finally realize what the California varsity knows now —ftlat Washington and Jefferson has twice as good a football team as Ohio State had last year.” This was the answer of Coach Andy Smith today to rumors that his Bears were suffering from the worst case of over-confidence known in the history of the east-west football classic. Smith got excited enough over the report to tell his real opinion on the coming struggle. “This continued harping on the belief that the presidents will be a setup for my team is putting us in a false light before the football world,” he said. "As might be imagined, I investigated Washington and Jefferson’s record from A. to Z. and I discovered some startling facts. “Washington and Jefferson can use the forward pass, not so well as Ohig State perhaps, but good enough to have won two of its games by the use of passes. "I have never seen this particular virtue of the eastern team even mentioned on the coast. My team knows it. “The ability of the presidents to run with the ball is admitted. They are the equal of any team in the country at this style of play and they can kick with any team in the country. “As a defensive team ths east has not se 1 their equal. In their last three games, if I am not mistaken, only four first downs were scored against them. "I am willing to make this prediction on next Monday afternoon’s game—the score will be one of the lowest in the history of the eastwest classics. “The California Bears feel they are facing the stiffest fight they have had in two years—that's how over-confi dent they are.” The angular coach reported his star end “Brick” Muller, on the sick list today. Berkey, left end, also was reported on the sick list. Both men are expected to be out in uniform, however. f Q Q HOMER H. KN ODLE LAWYEP Rooms 1 A 2, Morrison Block DECATUR, INDIANA Fire, Tornado.

SULPHUR CLEARS A PIMPLY SKINI I APPLY SULPHUR AS TOLD WHEN YOUR SKIN BREAKS OUT Any breaking out of the skin on ] face, neck, arms or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sul- j phur. The pimples seem to dry ( right up and go away, declares a noted ( skin specialist. Nothing has ever been found to take the place of sulphur as a pimple , remover. It is harmless and inexpensive. Just ask any druggist for a small jar of Mentho-Sulphur and use it like cold cream. The Battier Shop in the West , End Restaurant, will he open for i business again Saturday. FARMERS REMAIN LOYAL. Washington, Dec. 30— (Special to i Daily Democrat).—Undaunted by the tremendous shrinking in crop values the American farmer is planting almost as much as ever the wheat and rye planting estimate by the department of agriculture today showed. In spite of the fact that the principal farm crip dropped almost fifty percent. in value this year over 1920 the 1 winter wheat era sown this year is ] only 1.2 percent, less than last year while the rye planting was estimated 22.6 percent, more than last year. The winter wheat aera sown this fall totals 44,293,000 acres. Last years total was 44,847,000 acres. The condition of winter wheat on December Ist was 76 compared with 87.9 in 1920 and an average of 89 for the past ten years. Rye sown this fall totaled 5,184,000 acres. Last year the acreage was 4,228,000. The condition this December Ist was 92.2 compared with 0.5 last year and a ten year average of 90.9. DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL AT BLUFFTON TONIGHT Bluffton high’s caging aggregation will assemble against one of the strongest combinations in the running when they meet the Decatur high school quintet, Bluffton’s old rival, at the Cherry street gymnasium, Friday night. The Adams county players as well as the fans are hoping to witness Bluffton high’s first defeat of the season at their hands Friday night. The invaders have been making a wide swath in basketballdom this season and are coming to Bluffton anticipating fresh laurels. Coach Rippe returned Wednesday to coach his team through to victory Friday night and in the meantime the squad will be put through strenuous work-outs in order to be in top form I for the fray. Confidence among the players to maintain their splendid record is noticeably apparent by their diligent efforts at practice.—Bluffton News. a Was a “Bear Cat” “My wife was never an angel, but after five years of liver and stomach trouble she became a ‘bear cat.’ No doctor or medicine helped her and we thought there was no help for her. Our grocer told me of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which had helped him for same trouble, so I brought home a bottle, but she promptly threw It out. I got it back and after a week coaxed her into taking it. She is*now enjoying the best of health and disposition.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. ’ For sale by Hqlthouse Drug company and druggists everywhere. —a Received a shipment of High Grade Quality SILK DRESSES MRS. M. MOYER, N. Bth street.

FIND IT HARD TO PAY INCOME TAX Washington, Dec. 29.—1 f members of Congress hafe any doubt that it is harder for the man with a small income and consequently a smaller tax to pay to meet his obligation to the government, he might scan tax return figures just made public. I The figures show that 1,227,141 persons with a taxable income under the $5,000 mark found it necessaryto pay on the installment plan.

JACK and cook. London. Dec. 30.— (Special to Daily Democrat)—Jack Dempsey and George Cook for the heavyweight championship of the world. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see this come about. Rather 1 expected it. It may be a big chance but I am going to put my money on Cook to beat Carpentier and 1 haven’t seen the Australian working yet. I have seen the Frenchman though and I don’t like his looks. He's gone back so far that he Is taking a chance with any heavyweight. He's accepting the rick purely for the coin in it. If Cook handles him like I think he will, Georges will be a dead one long before the end of twenty rounds. Plenty of the British fight experts ' saw how Dempsey worked on the : Frenchman and they are constituting themselves as a board of strategy at 1 thfe Australian's camp because they are beginning to look upon him as a possibility to bring the British name out of the heavyweight mud. ! Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wilkes of Kendallville were guests yesterday at , the wedding of Miss Alma Bowers 1 and Mr. Earl Colter.
