and if we all help a little and put away our hammers, we will be surprised at results. If these wonderful winters continue in this country, the idle rich who own beautiful places around Miami, Florida and on the western coast will soon be establishing themselves in Indiana, it would be hard to find more pleasant winter weather than we have been having. It seems like its impossible to have j a discussion of any subject in the! senate now days without some mem-' ber calling some other member a liar and a call for the sergeant-fit- , arms to separate the combatants.! They should establish Queensberry; rules for these contests. It is said that a resolution is to be offered in congress (hanging the! American national game from baseball to hide and seek, since that game seems the more popular since the Volstead act was enacted. And Washington leads the league, it is declared.

Indications at this time lead us to j believe that the report sent out from , Warsaw several weeks ago that Bevi eridge was out of the senatorial con1 test was just propaganda.

i tor of the Hartford City News.— Bluffton Banner. , | We waut you good people of Deca I tur and community to take just a moment and read this statement from Wright Patterson, one of the Igreatest authorities on newspapers in the world. "The country press do- [ serves well of the people of the nation, and especially of the people of the country communities. Individual1 ly, these papers may not be large in ! size as compared with tho city paper. I but quantity is not the measure of I their value. They are worth both directly and indirectly far more than 1 their subscription price. For that i price they bring to you each day the news of your friends and acquaintances. To those who have left the country homo to go either to the city or to some other country home, the country newspaper is a welcome daily letter that keeps them in touch with

friends and former associates. To those at home It carries the news of friends and neighbors. It records the births and deaths, the marriages, the comings and goings of those in whom i you are interested. It furnishes the .medium of publicity through which i work for a better and stronger com , munity is maintained. It is the paper of, for and by the people of the vil lages. the towns and the small cities. | No country paper worthy of the name | ever seeks tho support of the people of its community on any other ground ' than that of giving more than full value for all that it receives. You aid yourself, your community, your i state and the nation when you support and read your own home town J paper.” Free air usually is associated with tilling stations and auto tires. Bu» ' free, fresh air is one of nature’s gifts, even though we see every day in our travels around Decatur people who appear to overlook it. They breathe anj sert of air so long as the body is comfortable and do not remember any infraction of nature's laws until the doctor is called to repair the in-

jury. In the seasons of the year when artificial heat is not needed most people get all the fresh air they require. But in the months when heating stoves and furnaces are used, there is a more general wish to be comfortable than safe. Warmth is grateful but ventilation is far more important, for this determines the physical resistance which makes or mars health. There is a general tendency to overheat places where people congregate. Public buildings, halls and stores are overheated, especially when they are filled. While the law prescribes ventilation, there are infrequent lapses, for it is impossible to properly heat or even keep at a comfortable temperature a place where arrivals and departures are frequent—where the doors are be- [ ing almost constantly opened and I < losed. Doctors say hot, dry air has ■ a bad effect on the throat and nose whoso membranes are irritated and thus made receptive to germs of cold and other diseases. Fresh air tends to prevent this Irritation and builds tip resistance of the body. Thus, anyliody who wishes to preserve health should so atyange his affairs that the body will get its full requirement of fresh, clean air.

CLERKS DEFEAT FORD. A big surprise featuring the meeting in the Industrial league last evening, the Clerks team defeating the Ford Garage men in a tight game by a score of 13 to 12. A game between the Rotarians and K. of P’s was also scheduled for last evening, the Rotarians failing to appear, the game was cancelled.

TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA Grandma Kept Her Locke Dark, Glossy and Youthful With Simple Mixture of S.ige Tea and Sulphur. The old-timo mixture of Sago Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance Is of the greatest ad vantage. Nowadays, though, wo don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home, j All drug stores sell the ready-to-iise product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: bv morning the gray hair dis appears’ but what delights the ladies

with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, that, besides beautlttully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. —. NEW POULTRY HOUBE PLAN AVAILABLE Purdue University has received an . average of seven requests per daj ; since tho first of September from citizens of Indiana for poultry house plans. These people have been given their choice of plans of the following types as houses; shed roof country house. 16 feet deep, shed roof city house, 12 ; feet deep, half-monitor or saw tooth house, 24 feet deep, modified gable roof house 20 feet deep. These plans with the exception of the one city house plan are designed for average farm conditions and for flocks of 200 to 300 birds. In at least 90 percent, of the cases the 16 foot shed roof house has been selected. This house has proven to be exceptionally well suited to bocks of this size, but many of these men are now going into the business on a much larger scale. Their question is will the same type of house prove to be most satisfactory for flocks of from 300 to 1,500 er more birds. The opinion of the men in the Poultry Department and the Division of Rural I.’n rrinnnrin <r ‘it 1 11 la 11 T) fl TTI TT) (All R

Engineering at Purdue is unanimous that it is not. Their opinions are based on the results obtained in the houses on the experimental farm and upon the results of practical poultrymen throughout the state with whom they are in close contact. In order to give the farmer the benefit of their combined ideas, the ' Division of Rural Engineering has prepared a plan for distribution, at a cost of printing and mailing, of a shed roof house twenty feet deep. The windows in this house are so arranged as to make it even lighter than the old 16 foot house. It is designed in units | so that it will handle anywhere from H>o birds on up. It costs less per* bird both for material and labor and is considered to give better all around results than the other types of houses, i Don't forget the big stock sale at Bellmont farm Thursday 8-2 t ■ a LIBRARY BOARD MEETING.

WHAT TAXES ARE REPEALED. The following statement is issued by M. Bert Thurman, Collector of Internal Revenue, District of Indiana. In response to numerous inquiries, taxpayers are advised that certain taxes, among them the so-called “nuisance” and luxury taxes are repealed, effective January 1, 1922, by the Revenue Act of 1921. Patrons of soda-water fountains, ice cream parlors and similar places of business no longer are required to pay the tax of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof on the amount expended for sodas, sundaes “or similar articles of food or drink.” The small boy may rejoice in the fact that an ice cream cone doesn’t cost an extra penny. The tax imposed by the Revenue Act of 1921, is on “beverages and the constituent parts thereof” and is paid by the manufacturer.

The tax on the transportation of freight and passengers is repealed, es- < r fective January 1, 1922, also the tax ■ paid by the purchaser on amounts paid for men’s and ; women's wearing apparel (shoe, hats, caps, neckwear, , shirts, hose, etc.), in excess of a speI cified price. Taxes imposed under Section 901 ' (which under the Revenue Act of; 1918, included the taxes on wearing 1 apparel) are now confined to a 5 per- ■ cent, tax on the following articles: ’ Carpets, on the amount in excess of $4.50 a square yard; rugs, on the amount in excess of $6 a square yard; ' trunks, on the amount in excess of $35 each; valises, traveling bags, suit cases, hat boxes used by travelers and fitted toilet cases, on the amount ■ in excess of $25 each; purchases, < pocketbooks, shopping and hand bags on the amount in excess of $5 each; portable lighting fixtures, including

lamps of all kinds, on the amount in excess of $lO each; fans on the amount in excess of $1 each. These taxes are included in the manufacturers excise taxes, and are payable by the manti- 1 facturer, producer or importer, and not by the purchaser, as required by the Revenue Act of 1918. The manufacturer may reimburse himself, by agreement with the' purchaser, by quoting the selling price and tax in separate and exact amounts or by stating to the purchaser in advance of the sale, what portion of the quoted price represents the price charged for the article, and what portion repre-l sents the tax. The tax on sales of jewelry, real or imitation is 5 percent, and is payable by the vendor. The tax on the sale of the works of art (painting, statuary, ■ art porcelains and bronzes) is reduced from 10 to 5 percent. This tax, payable by the vendor, applies except in

the original sale by the artist, or to an educational institution' or public art museum, or a sale by the recognized dealers in such articles to other such dealers for re-sale. ! When payable by the manufactyer or vendor, taxes must be in the habds of the collector of internal revenue on or before the last day of the month following the month in which the sale was made. SEEK FRIENDS IN HOUR OF NEED “In the hour of need w r e quickly j seek our best friends,” writes Chae. 1 Schridd Ward de Wet, 957 73rd Ave, Oakland, Cal., “our little boy and girl had a vere dry, rasping cough without phlegm, a cough that chokes and flushes the face of the sufferers like unto convulaions. Foley’s Honey and Tar was a wonderful emergency remedy.” Cases like this give Foley’s Honey and Tar its reputation as the best remedy for coughs and colds.
