The only consoling feature most people get out of the new income tax blank is that the last one appeared to get by all right. The sectional basket ball meet will open in this city Friday and about two hundred high school boys and seven or eight hundred visitors will I be the guests of Decatur. If you have a spare room or would like to entertain one of the boys while here, call Mr. Cline or Mr. Worthman at the high school. Now that we've got a good running start into 1922, indications are that it is going to be a bigger and a better year for agriculture, with more pros perify for people dependent upon farming. Reports from rural communities and small towns all over th< country indicate that things are on the mend, and it looks as if the farmer’s buying power would be restored before the end of the year. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dig in. The big wedding has taken place and Princess Mary, daughter of the King and Queen of England is now tho wife of Viscount Lascelles, but who will be known hereafter as Duke

Lascelles, his father-in-law centering a title upon him as a wedding gift. The wedding attracted about as much attention and space in the newspa pers as when Paris was being bombarded by the long range guns, but everyone in England was feeling much happier over the event today. Very quickly we forget the things that are not before us daily; we for get what we don't see or hear about all the time. The popular writer, the artist, the movie star, the business man—all are forgotten very soon unless they keep themselves constantly before the public. For instance, the giggling movie world has done with out Fatty Arbuckle now for several months and it looks like they’re going to get along always without him. It makes mighty little difference to the world what becomes of an indi vidual, no matter how much they may idolize him under a given circumstance. And it’s the same way with a store, with a business concern of any kind. The longer they are away from the people, the longer they stay out of print and don’t keep reminding the people that they are still here, the farther they get away, the sooner they are forgotten. In the opinion of a great many people the bonus for ex-service men is deemed a matter of charity and these people when discussing the question demand to know why the ex-service man should have charity doled out to him in preference to anyone else. But such an opinion is wrong, and we trust no citizen looks on the bonus in such light. To give an ex-soldier who fought in the world-war a bonus for the part he played is no more a matter of charity than it would be to pay any man for the services he per--formed after being engaged to perform them. But the latter would be an ordinary transaction, the kind that goes on every day. The service rendered by the soldier is extra-ordi-nary; it is one where in the soldier's life is directly at stake and he undertakes this risk for a mere pittance.

There could not be commensurate pay tor service of this kind in th* ordinary business sense. Thera is a heroism and a bravery connected with the engagement to render the service that the sold'er gives that should receive any reasonable bonus that can be given and there is not an iota of charity connected with It. It is due the ex-service man to have a bonus. They risked their all and they have returned home, thousands of them, to find themselves without work and without funds. They do not want charity, and neither do they

want the government to impose a burden upon its taxpaying citizens in making the compensation possible. But they believe there is soma way of rewarding them as they should be rewarded without working a hardship on any one, and they are rightfully deslfous of having that way found and found quickly. —e i ' ' ■ CANDIDATE FOR TRUSTEE Please announce that 1 am a candidate for the Democratic nomination of trustee of Washington township, subject to the decision of the voters at the primary on Tuesday, May 2nd.

SPORT NEWQ HERE’S ALL THE DOPE: let your Conscience be YOUR GUIDE WHEN BETTING With the district basket ball tournament being staged in this city Friday and Saturday many predictions are being made as to the winners. The entire schedule has been doped out from the first game up to the finals and judging from the strength of the teams entered it is likely it will work ont to a very close margin. The Monroe high school team without a doubt will work its way up to the finals, meeting no strong teams up until this time. Decatur and Bluffton seems to be battling .on even terms and will clash with each other in the semitinals Saturday afternoon, one team being sure to be eliminated. The dope sheet as worked out by the Democrat is as follows: Friday Morning B:oo—Petroleum vs. Dunkirk—Petroleum. 9:oo—Pennville vs. Gray—Pennville. 10:00—Bluffton vs. Portland —Bluffton. 11:00 —Bryant vs. Craigville—Bryant.

Bluffton sure means business. After the Decatur-Bluffton game last week they growled about the baskets at the local gym and upon arriving home removed the old "lace curtains” from their goals, substituted the new up-to-date leather nets and have been practicing hard ever since. They aro trying to make their gym look more like Decatur’s every day. No use, Bluffton. WRESTLING BOUT AT GERKE SCHOOL A wrestling bout or athletic carnival has been arranged for Thursday evening at the Gerke school house with four good battles on the program The big meet will open at 7:30 o'clock with the first preliminary between

Ford Christen and Milo Bcheifersteln. the second between Winfred Gerke and Thomas Fonnor and tho third between Alvin Conrad, of Root township and Dick Brhart, of this city.

Rob White will be the referee. All bouts will go two out of three falls and promises to be worth while. No admission fee will be charged but a collection with be take up. -- s-. ROYAL COUPLE ON JE2 NEYMOON (Continued from page one) “We shall not be there long, anyway,” Lord Lascelles and his bride left the side door of Westminster Abbey beneath an arch of crossed swords. The wedding breakfast was at Buckingham palace, where the princess and her husband ate pancakes specially prepared in the royal kitchen in commemoration of Shrove Tuesday. Princess Mary, with her husband’s sword cut a wedding cake which had been baked by the king's own cook. About 160 guests were present. e —— Policemen and others who walk or stand a good deal are very often subject to fiat foot. The hat worn by women in 40,006 B. C., is stated to be very similar to models worn today. IT WENT TO THE SPOT Lingering colds and , coughs that hang on and wear one out are difficult to get rid of. but Henry H. Campbell, R. F. D. No. 3, Adrian, Mich., writes: “I had a bad cought for three years. Tried several cough medicines. Got little relief. I tried Foley's Honey and Tar. It went io the spot. There is no better remedy on the market.” Good for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough—clears the passages; soothes irritated membranes; stops tickling in the throat. Contains no opiates. Sold everywhere. IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Just the moment you apply MenthoSulphur to an Itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing beyins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul-phur at any drug store.
