For number of failures the year ranked second and for amount of liabilities involved, first. There is stored in the United Staten today, inore than 38,000,600 gallons of whiskey, that is the real stuff, bonded and duly stamped, to say nothing of the moonshine, wood alcohol and other brands of which there are many more millions, and we speak of this as a dry nation. Some things are a little hard for the average fellow to understand.

Now all you have to do to realize your dream of wealth which will make Rockcrfcllor look like a piker is to figure out some method of extracting this gold from the water.

1 the eleven billions owing this eoun--1 try from the allied countries. So far I as the United Slates is concerned we , are going to need this money to make ,: up the revenue cut off from the law ' recently made and when the time , comes they will have an excuse for not taking care of the soldiers. Yes, talk la about the cheapest thing we have in this country. Governor Sproul will not resign as governor of Pennsylvania to become senator succeeding the late Boise Penrose. This announcement seems rather strange for immediately after the death of the finance leader, the “Keynote” governor told Senator Watson that he would be on his way to the ctnate within forty-eight hours. Leaders got in his way however and must have bad something on Sproul which held him for he comes forth now with a statement entirely different. A great game, this American politics, but like football there are some iuside maneuvers not always apparent to those in the grandstand. Subscriptions and renewals have been coming into this office at a very lively and satisfactory rate the past week. The Daily Democrat covers the field of news in which you are most interested, giving you the items of interest from this county and city, from the state and nation and the world. We are with you and for you all the time and we have tried to meet existing conditions of times by a voluntary reduction of subscription rates. This does not mean that we will in any way try to reduce the efforts to give you all the news but we are resolved to continue to try each day to improve. We hope every subscriber will renew during the months of January which marks the start of our twentieth year in the daily field. The death of Senator Boise Penrose means a great loss to the republican party. The news was also no doubt received with grave sorrow by those who controll the world famed Wall street for the powerful political leader was the legislative dynamo for that financial district and in life controlled the United States senate through his position as chairman of the senate finance committee. Now his place must be filled by Senator M cCumber of North Dakota, bitter enemy of Wall street and a member of the famous farmer "bloc,” which ought to-make those who get pleasure out of a study of politics see that some interesting chapters may soon be written.

For fear you may have overlooked It we call your attention to the fact that a correct and fair statement of tiie tinauclal condition of the city of Decat nr was published last evening in this paper, giving the exact bonded indebtedness and for what the bonds wore issued, also the floating indebtedness, the entire amount being $13(5,119.15. Against this you may also figure cash on hands in the genera electric light, water and sinking funds of $42,188.66, not such a bad showing when you consider that during the past year about $90,000 was spent to make the city power and water plant serviceable for the people and to take care of the increased business. It should also be remembered that during the month of December the plant did the largest business in history and more by far than i could have been done had the investment not been made. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. With heartfelt sympathy and deep sorrow St. Mary’s Council No. 20 adopts the following resolutions in the loss of our beloved sister, Helena Bentz. Whereas. Our Heavenly Father has called to her eternal reward, Helena, our faithful and loving member, we bow in humble submission to His Holy will. Resolved, That in the death of Helena Bentz, St.' Mary’s Council No. 20, mourns the loss of one who was ever ready to extend sympathy to those in distress; who exerted every endeavor for our Council’s welfare and prosperity; a dear friend and companion to all.

OBITUARY Flora Headington, daughter of Eli and Cornelia Headington, was born in January 4, 1861, in Portland, Ind., and departed this life December 31, 1921. at the age of sixty years, eleven months and twenty-eight days, having lived almost her entir elife in Portland. On December 8. 1822, she was united in marriage to James Edgar Bliss. To this union six children were born —CHarles, of Portland; Mrs. Charles Tack, of Fostoria. Ohio; Mrs. Roscoe Glendenning, of Decatur, Ind., and Ralph, at home. Two sons, Fred and Rolland preceded the mother in death in their infancy. The home was especially saddened June 25, last, when the husband and father was called to his Maker. The deceased is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Cornelia Claycomb, of Portland, and two brothers, James Headington, of Portland, and John Headington, of Celina, Ohio; also 1 nin egrandchildren.

They are strongly recommended by Decatur people. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. E. A. Mann, 1903 W Monroe St., Decatur, says: "I know the value of Doan’s Kidney Pills and am glad to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. I used them when my kidneys were out of order and I had severe backaches that made it harder for me to do my work. I often had nervous headaches and my' kidneys acted irregularly. I used Doan's Kidney Pills from the HaJthouae Drug Co., and they proved to be just what I needed. Doan's were not long tn giving me relief from the backache and kidney complaint.” Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Mann had.
