All expert lias figured it out that the saving reduction of the navy will he less than fifty cents per. capita. And lifter we had been led to believe that this action by the arms conference would just about end all tax paying. Some how or another some one is always taking the joy away. Hear Hon. F. A. Holser at the Jes ferson club tomorrow evening. He is • one of the leading democrats of the - state, best posted man on organize — tion work in all Indiana and his talk will be of interest to every Democrat “ who really desires to see the reins of «■ “ government again in the hands of the — people. There will alsb be talks by - several local men. Join the Jefferson L chib. Bring the ladies along. All "" will be welcomed. * Many people Os Decatur will regret • the resignation of Mr. E. A. Peoples “ from the council but he is taking the • action which is fair to the citizens who elected him. At the time of the election he expected to be here most of the time but btisijtess which keeps him in the oil fields of Kentucky has since deveoped and as he will be ab sent at least several months longer it is but right that he should resigi and permit the appointment of a man who will be on the job. The speech of Senator Lodge on behalf of the four power Pacific pact is an appeal to those including himself who smiled when similar speeches were being made in support of the Versailles treaties. The miseries anil horrors of war must never conn again if we can prevent it,” he shouted. yet a few months ago he gave scant attention to a similar appeal The treaties should perhaps be signed but the arguments come with poor grace from the Massachusetts sen at or who surrendered a great oppor tunity to secure lasting peace for the sake of politics. Tonight at Fort Wayne, Albert J. Beveridge, Indiana's silver tongued orator will open with his big guns for the campaign to defeat Harry 8. New for the Republican nomination. Just what his attitude will be on the important questions of the hour and what his platform will be is a matter of great interest to every voter in the state. He will it is taken for granted say something and say it in the Beveridge way and we doubt if the New] supporters will find it so easy to an swer for every one knows there is plenty to say alpmt the present administration and that no one can hand it out better than Albert J. It is very interesting. The Bluffton Banner is finally getting down to 4arth. In Saturdays paper they alleged that Earley had been injured by one ot the Decatur play ers either pushing or kicking him. On Monday they changed that to the charge that the man who jumped with him for a held ball, grabbed him by the belt and pulled him down so vio-

I leutly that his ankle was broken. Now ’ they wlslh it understood that they have not said whether the player who grabbed him was a Decatur player, a Bluffton player, one of the referees or some one on the side lines. Hurd to keep up with all the allegations and rumors except by a general denial. Surely the attitude of the objectors must bo getting somewhat disgusting to themselves. In spite of the fact that some people say life is not worth living they are always anxious to know how those who reach 100 manage to do it. As it is, no two receipts for long life agree Some of these giddy old things chew tobacco and drink a bottle of booze after every meal, while others live on starch and boiling water. Apparently it doesn’t matter a bit what you do as long as you presevere. The only thing is that you have to try a thing for a hundred years or so to see whether it suits your constitution. Tlie latest method of reaching 100 is that of Mrs. Anna Grump, who died recently in an eastern state at the age of 104. She was married, but she left her husband on her wedding day, and never saw him again. So now you know —but somehow it is thought that this method will not become popular among many of our girls.

In an emergency you run to your local druggest for a prescription. Or. to finish a dress before starting on a trip, you find you are in need of a wee bit more cloth, and you run t< tlie dry goods store to purchase it Or, in numerous other ways you find your local stores convenient ant! ready to supply an urgenf need. But if you patronize,' these stores only when you need something in a hurry —if you constantly send money to out of town concerns —the local storer cannot continue to exist. They mils' have your support at all times, no' only when there is an emergency but during normal times if you want them here when your hour of actual need conies. There is an old saying that “those who dance must pay the fid dler,” and it could be turned around to read that those who only patronize a merchant when they are in need will be in need quite often before they get through with the mail-order con corns. There is no question but we would all fare better if we would con fine our dealings to people we know Instead of sending our money away to people we never saw —and n<ver will see —let’s spend it where we know who gets it, and where it will do us some good when THEY spend it. The fellow we know lias to face us daily so it stands to reason that he isn't going to "sting us” as quickly as the fellow we may never see. Your home merchant has a reputation for square dealing, and he wants to keep it. So that is another guarantee you have or honest dealing when you spend the dollar you made at home right here where you made it. 0 TWENTY-THIRD PSALM REVISED.

Harding is my shepherd, and I am in want. He maketh me to lie down on park benches. He leadeth me beside the free soup houses. He restoreth my doubt in the Republican party. He leadeth me in the path of destruction for his party’s sake. Yea, though 1 walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Starve tion, I shall fear no evil for thou art against me. Thy policies and the profiteers, they frighten me. Thou preparest a reduction in wages for me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou annointest mine income with taxes. My expenses runneth over my income Surely poverty and unemployment will follow me ail the days of this normalcy administration, and I will dwell in a rented house forever.—Contributed. GOOD FOR THAT “FJ.IJ” COVSH For quick relief from the wearing coughs that “hang on” after the grippe or influenza, take Foley’s Honey and Tar. Mrs. K. D. Drake, Childs, Mr., writes: “After an attack of the flu that left me with a severe cough nothing seemed to relieve me till I tried Koley's Honey and Tar. which 1 can highly recommend.” It is also good for croup, whooping cough and colds. It puts a soothing,healing coating over the iuflumed surfaces, cuts the phlegm, eases hoarseness, clears the air passages. , „ ,

I know of many women it has helped,”—Mrs. G. Richardson, 4640 Orcas St., Seattle, Washington. This is another case where Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound brought results after ‘ ‘trying everything any one told me” had failed. If you are suffering from pain, nervousness and are always tired; if you are low spirited and good for nothing, take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. You may not only relieve the present distress, but prevent the development of more serious trouble.

ANCE LESSON) LBBSON TBXT-Amos GOLDEN TEXT—Win, Is a mockor, •irons drink te raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby Is not wise.—Prov. 30. L REFERENCE MATERIAIz-lse “IL U, 22, 23, a.l-ix Moeen 4:U; Gal. 6:IML PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends Amos on an Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Prophet Who Was a Friend to the Poor. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —The Consequences of Self-Indulgence. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Social Evils Yet to Be Conquered. The kingdom of Israel reached a high elute of prosperity m tne time of Jeroboam 11, and with it came a condition of luxury, corruption and wickedness. The judgment woe of this lesson is directed against the sins at the upper classes in Samaria. The same eins are practiced in America, in tbe nation and in the church. With the Increase of wealth in America has come luxury, corruption and gross wickedness which staggers the Imagination. It behooves all to give a listening ear, for God will eventually enter into judgment. Our lesson is a temperance lesson. Temperance applies to other things than indulgence In Intoxicating liquor. Our age is intoxicated with pleasure, pursuit of gain and selfish ambition. 1. Reckless Security (vv. 1-3). They were blind to the perils that surrounded them. They were living In a fool's paradise, closing their eyes to the approaching storm of judgment as predicted by Amos. They trusted in tbe mountains of Samaria for their protection. They regarded their city as impregnable. They no doubt regarded the utterance of Amos as impracticable—the dreams of a fanatic. The tragic thing about this blindness on the part of the chief ones of the nation was they were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times in the light of history (v. 2.) The cities of Calneh and Hamath, though great and mighty, had fallen. To disregard the lessons of history, to dismiss the thought of impending judgment, is to bring near the “seat of violence’’ (v. 3). Let chaotic Europe and Russia be the red lights of warning to America, and let all injustice and class selfishness be laid aside. 11. Luxury (vv. 4-6). The luxury of these upper classes In Samaria expressed Itself In: 1. Extravagant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory—perhaps wood inlaid with Ivory. Costly as their furniture was in that day, it was commonplace as compared to some of the expensive furniture and fittings in our great cities. 2. Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their couches —lived lives of indolence. Such is the way of many still. 3. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The Implication here is that they had their dainties out of season. This is what many of the rich pride themselves in.

4. Adorn their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs—even invented musical instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the noble art of music to their sensual feasts. 5. They drank wine (v. 6). They were not content with ordinary drinking vessels. They drank from bowls, Indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating cup that their feasts which were adorned with the refinements of music ended in drunkenness. 111. Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. 6). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, hia two sons. Ephraim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation. The upper classes were Indulging in these effeminate luxuries, entirely Indifferent to the groanings of the masses. And whenever such a condition exist in a nation there is need of Amos to thunder God's judgment upon those who are guilty of it. IV. The Inevitable Issue (w. 7,8). 1. They shall go into captivity (v. 7). The northern nation was first in sin, therefore first to go into captivity. What a striking contrast this picture! Instead of lying on ivory couches feasting upon dainties, they are with the suffering exiles. 2. The certainty of the issue (v. S’). It is inevitable because of God's nature. He is a God of justice. He has sworn that judgment shall fall. He is the God of hosts—the controller of the whole universe, therefore none can escape. God batea the wickedness of the world, and He will bring into judgment the men and women who revel in luxury with no concern for the poor and needy. Though God waits long, He does not forget. The only escape for America is repentance. Abide in Him. n3".’, little Chlidveu. duitiv in Him; that when Ht shell appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed at His coming.—l John 2:28.

REASONS FOR HOLES IN ROADB ladianapolis. Ind.. .March Inspection of several hundred tnilw ot state roads constructed of gravel and crushed atone reveal some bad spota which might bo termed failures, declare members of the state highway commission, discussing the best plan foi maintaining these roads in as near perfect condition as weather and continuous heavy traffic in the most trying season of the year permits. In some instances a road of this type proceeds for several miles almost perfect in construction and wihtstuntilng both elements and hard usage, then suddenly a break or bad spot appears, says Commissioner Eail Crawford. Again a wet s|Wt will develop in the crown or on the side of the highway and despite efforts to eradicate it thru spreading repeated layers of gravel or stone, the wash and wear continues. In the opinion of highway engineers giving this matter exhaustive study, these bad places are due to the following causes: lack of sufficient drainage into side ditches due solely to the delay in moving porperty line fences so the maintenance department may cut ditches; infficlent metal, weak place in the foundation and. where the road develops boggy spots, possibly springs under the surface the water from which may possibly have to be taken care of through tile drains. Engineers believe that by increasing tlie strength of the foundation it may be possible to eliminate the spring water without having to resort to tile drainage and, following the policy of Governor McCray and the commission to maintain these types of road in the very best pos-
