This normalcy stuff mayo be all right for a few fellows, but it’s hard, mighty hard on the most of us. Can you imagine paying the government >27,000,900 income taxes? That’s what Henry Ford wit! do this year and there are those who attempt to argue that he is a weakling and a poor business man. He is a little the wisest we have ever heard of and he is not near through yet. The milk campaign is going splendidly and much interest is being manifested in the schools of the county. A careful survey of conditions and results where milk has l>een used for food for undernourished children is being conducted and the report at the conclusion of the cam paign will be worth your earnest and I careful consideration. Old Isaiah Moore, who was arrestee' | yesterday on the eve of his twelfti ; marriage ought to have been arrested long ago. He caused enough sorrov. if he fooled eleven women into mar rying him and then left them to get 1 along as best they could. He de serves no pity or anything else but 1 to spend the rest of his life at hard labor.

Why, he says so, and even intimates that if New is nominated and does not then wish for the support of his “string of newspapers" that he might “Harveyize” himself and support Sam Ralston, Dan Simms or some other good and capable citizen. —Bluffton Banner. - In the average man’s mind thrift means saving money. In theory that is thrift, but in practice it may be the reverse. For thrift means getting the most for your money by investing it in things for which there is a present use or future profit. Putting a padlock on the pocket is not thrift. That’s stinginess. If one can buy a lot worth S3OO for S2OO, it is thrift to buy it. If a suit of clothes which will be needed next fall can lie bought now for >2O. when it will cost S3O when next fall arrives, then it will lie thrift to buy it. Thrift i taking advantage of opportunities in which there is profit. It means , keeping dollars everlastingly on the I job. Thrift also means refraining from useless expenditures that keep the pocketbook so thin that investments cannot be taken advantage of when they are offered. Things | : liould bought from the standpoint I of use and pru|t, and if there is no present use and no profit in sight, definition of thrift may be, when it is carefully studied and analyzed and boiled down, it simply means getting ready for the big opportunity, and hoping it will come. And getting ready for the big opportunity is just I another definition of laying away for the rainy day. Don’t hide or dissi pate your savings. Invest them I There are so many fine opportunities right now, and right around here, that no man, who cares about the future, can afford to neglect them or close his eyes to them.

I ACID IN STOMACH SOURS THE FOOD — Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of Indigestion A well known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity—acid stomach —and not, as most folks believe. from a lack of digestive juices. He states than an exces of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts , food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can. forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash, or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, got from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a. glass of water before breakfast while it is effervescing, and furthermore to continue this for owe week. While relief follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juice. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium .phosphate. This liarmltss salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results.

' The People’s Voice THE DEATH OF CONCENTRATION (From Life, New York 1 1 Concent ration was dead, and all the | birds of the air and all the forces of I the earth camo to do him honor. "1," said the Lady, "I did it with my | social functions and my yearly trips to Europe. 1 killed Concentration." “I slid it." said the Highbrow, "with j my lectures and reading and my upI lift, not to mention my philosophical systems and vague superiorities—l I was the one who killed Concentration.” "Sorry to Interrupt," said the ParI ents, "but we really did it. We insisted upon having so many distracting things in the house, not to mention putting on more styles day by day. that we were the chief, if humble, instruments in tile hands of an all-wise • Providence whet did away with Con-' j eentration—we are the pround authors of his dissolution." • “I did it,” said Tango, "with my j restless midnight spirit; of course <i 'i did it. I killed Concentration.” .1 “Which reminds me that I am the ■I one,” remarked the Movies. "Yes, I i, did it with my cheap realism; how ‘‘ could Concentration live after I came on the stage. Tim mere suggestion is absurd. I accomplished the demise.” "Pooh!” sang the Phonograph ' “Wasn’t I before you? 1 started hi.death, all right. 1 guess I know. 1 killed Concentration myself!'” And then they all bowed low, and took a back seat as the real author ' came. "1 did it, didn’t I?" said the Schoo’ System, and Concentration, rising out of his coflin, remarked post-humor ously: . “Believe me. it was you, all right." -—The Educatur Journal—March 1922 Number—lndianapolis In diana. (Printed by Request) ■ • — ! A Progressive Age. 'To the Daily Democrat: — Noticing “A article in j Saturday 's issue on “Consolidate!’ Schtxds”, I have come to the conclll I sion that he must he one of those sort lof men who is always living in th( time when “I Was Young". He can | remember the time when everyonr ! went to a little one-room log school house, three of four months out of th< i year and studied “readin', ’writin’ anc ritlimetic,,. Then it was that every girl aud boy walked three miles thn ! slush and snow, and sat in a schoo’ i room all day with their bodies chill ing and almost freezing and then tc walk home at night only to be forcer ,to go out and work for a couple of hours around the house. Those con ditions, any fair-minded man will acknowledge, were not very condusivr to good scholarship. It is true t> great many great men have come from tlie one-room school-house. But have not as great men come from out I city schools, which are on the con solidation plan? Mr. "A Citizen", I presume is the type es man who is always complain ing about the "hard times" and is kept busy talking about the good times of yesterday. But are we to wish those times off on the boy and girls of today? Tire city boy and girl goes to a school, nine months out of every year, where he has all the advantages at modern educational facilities, such as ’ a well equipped manual training department, a finely furnished domestic Science room, a chemistry laboratory, equipped so as to enable the stuIdent to become a acquainted with | present day science. These, the onei room school pupils know nothing of except what little he can gather from ■ a few magazines or books. Is the city boy any better than the country boy? Simply because it has been his . lot to be born In a city, does that give ' him any license to have access to any | better educational facilities than has the boy whose lot it has been to be j born tn God's country? No one can, or will, deny that some I great men of today have received their education in a one-room school house. But would any of these progressive men want to send their boys to the same building under the same environments? ft is a mighty poor stick of a father who does not want his boy to have any better advantages or any better educational facilities than what he himself had. We are living in a progressive age. 'An age when any ’ father, with an ounce of manhood and fatherhood about him, wants to send his boy to school and give him an education rather than require him to work on the farm or bring home any money to “dad”. Let the farmer give his boy the same chance and the same opportunity along the educational lines, which the city boy has. Let us keep up with ■ the times, forget when we were boys H aud give our boys better opportuu■jities than wliht we ourselves had; re-

alizing that, lu ths words of the poet, “The glory o< the prezent if I” n,uke the future free."—A Friend of tb» Farmer Boy. a.—>— I IT'S A HABIT NOW 3 Editor Democrat:— 1 don't know f whether you are aware of the tact or not, but Blnffton lias been "whining' r for about thirty years peat or since 3 the Clover Ix’af, then the Narrow Guage, waa built. Bluffton worked » "teeth and toe nails" to have the road > built from Willshire on a route south I of here, to Bluffton, but they failed. 1 Then their next attempt was to beat ’ Decatur out of the C. A- E. They did their best to have the road built from - Ohio City to Bluffton and almost sue . ceeded. but again Decatur put on her war paint and went forth and licked 'em. Since that time Bluffton lias - been “whining" like a whipped cur and . this crying has it seems berm passed . down to the children and grandchild s ren, cousins and aunts. They will never forgive Decatur for their rail ,- road defeats and we presume it will I continue until Gabriel shuts them off. As one of the Bluffton editors is a , candidate for representative from I Adams. Wells and Blackford, we pre- . mime they will be throwing boquets , at Decatur till after the election, then return to the old "whine ", against Decatur. — • CONVINCED As a patron of North Blue Creek I district No. 4. I wish to voice the sen timent of the taxpayers and voters of said district. The petition we presented was signed by seventy-two of the seventy-four voters in this district. We wish to show the public and the offi:lal that the one-room school is much . needed and is our choice. This, the oldest school in the township is untit ind unsanitary for school purposes tnd we fell that the voters and taxpayjrs of Blue (’reek township are wholly with us. If you are not satisfied, meet is some cold, blustery day at district No. 4 and see what the children have to contend with and be convinced. Wish to say to the "Quarter section tnd six cylinder automobile man. that Bine Creek township has $50,000 invested in school buildings, all of which ire very sensible, attractive and advisable. We are not asking for hack lines, iroiu which serious accidents have octured and may occur again. Do some of you patrons know that some of the pupils of consolidated schools on ran s port at ion routes are away from iheir parents twelve long hours? Could they be of much support to their parents through a school term? Some of our writers compare a high school in the city with one in the country, four miles from home. You must understand transportation is one yf the big problems in the consolidated school question. With four new school buildings already in the township, lets all join hands and be mind fill with the one room school. The writer from Jefferson township seems to think that most parents over : n Blue Creek are out of knowledge and that the children complete their education with the eight grade. Not so with us. A number of our pupils are taking high school courses and the distance is any greater than if we had consolidated schools if in the right location. As to the writer who signed “Awake", referring to the little girl out of the eighth grade we suggest that the parents have the say. We would ask some of you well establish- , ed anti better financed writers to stop and consider that with financial conditions as they are we should only consider a true tsarting point and f that one room school is our one choice, i —Tax Bayer and Voter HOUSEHOLD SALE On account of losing my wife 1 will sell at jmblic auction at my rest idence, 904, corner of Monroe and j Ith streets on Saturday, March 18th, « Beginning at 12:30 o'clock; the following articles: One 3 piece solid oak bed room ■ suite, good as new; 1 leather davenport, good as new; 1 oak library 1 table; 1 mission clock; 1 large oval i- mirror; 1 12-ft. extension table, solid g oak; 1 oak sideboard; 1 oak buffet; 6 oak dining room chairs; 6 oak rocke ers, 1 combination gas, wood and r coal steel range, with hot water front t used 30 days; 1 Florence oil heater, 12 pictures, 2 ingrain carpets. 2 Bruss sei carpets and 1 9x12 rug. these are s as good as new; 5 small rugs. 1 din ner set, and a complete line of dishes , food chopper, .Domestic sewing machine, 2 pedestals. 4 jardineer stands. ” xlraperies and curtain rods, 1 mat d tress, 1 pair springs 1 feather bed, o comforts, sheets, pillows and cases electric iron, 1 carpet sweeper, I I clothes basket, 1-clothes hamper; 1 n commode. 1 clothes wringer with y bench new; , 1 invalid cushion:,, 1 lawn mower, 50 ft. of "lawn-hose, jfls cans of all kinds of varieties of fruit c 100 quart jars empty, and many other i- articles to numerous to mention. , TERMS on day of sale.
