S nrg- ....a "■ i,i ■ .rx.'av ■'■■■■ -g In the congressional election in the third district of Maine yesterday, ,the

republican majority of 20,000 was reduced to about 6,000, according to early reports. This result can't exactly be said to prove confidence in the administration. Fnally the troops are to be brought homo from Germany. It’s certainlly far past time and most people can't understand why this order wasn't issued long ago. Some of the boys ovtr there yet were among the first to be Bent across the seas. Muncie wins another distinguishment —is the last city in Indiana to have a “red light" district. This is shown in the' report of A. E. Wert Investigator of the housing division of the state board of health. The section is fn a delapidated condition, the report says and state officials have issued a general order that it be "cleaned”. The increased orders at the General Electric is the best news that this community could receive. It means going ahead, adding more people to the force, the capacity of tho plant soon and bigger things for Decatur one of these days. You can sec a changed condition now by talking to the officials of that and other com panics. We're on the way to prosperity and better times. Do your part to bring it about. Senator New is getting wrathy. In reply to an assertion by Mr. Beveridge that progressives would not be permitted by the standpatters to hold an office in Indiana, the senator yesterday said: “It is absurb to expect any one with a modicum of intelligence to believe that any one has ever said any thing so hopelessly imbecile." He insists on a bill of particulars. Look out senator, you may get the worst of a word fight with the quick thinking Beveridge.

Many years ago the entire east side , of the main block iu thia city was de- ’ stroyed by tire and as a result tho . brick buildings were erected. Chicago you will remember was wiped out years ago and that was the beginning of a real city. Nearly every town and city has profited by fires which destroyed frame buildings and made possible and necessary modern structures. Keep smilin’ and go right ahead. The following is a secret list of new boards and commissions, being compiled at the State House, that will be instituted for the tax-payers benefit. In reading this list, you can plainly see that the duties to be performer by the boards and commissions, are necessary to the taxpayers; and by the time you finish the list, you v. ill wonder how you have gotten along

Judges Award Essay Prizes (Continued from page one) are depriving yourself of two of th-’ purest and most nourishing foods. The butter and ice cream made at the Klepper Creamery are made in a very sanitary way, great caution be ing taken to have them fresh and delicious. The Cloverleaf Butter is very bene ticial to the health and lias a flavor and nourishment all its own. It is no wonder that thousands are kept supplied with it for it is so good and rich and tasty that you never tire of it. Once you have used Cloverleaf Butter you will never again be con tent to use any other. It is delicious and wholesome, the materials used being fresh and pure and easy to digest. Have you ever stopped to think of the great food value in Tasty Ice Cream? Perhaps you have been accustomed to regard ice cream merely as a dainty addition to be served with fruit and cake but in reality it is a dessert in itself and a valuable and important article of food deserv ing of a prominent place in our diet Ice cream provides fat, sugar, mineral matter, protein and vitamines. They are the newly discovered ac cessory food factors which are deem ed vital to good health and which all scientists recognise. Moderate prices make Cloverleaf Butter and Tasty Ice Cream a luxury at the price of economy. Thu§ you see how pure and beneficial these foods are. I think you ought to buy them if you wish to be happy and healthy. BLRNADINE CHRISTEN Grade 8. St. Joseph's School.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1922

Hie People’s Voice A WORD TO SAY ' . .. - . To the Editor of Decatur Daily Democrat: — I hear people talking about high 1 taxes and blaming the county SHupt. 1 Will any one please explain how he can be at fault when ho opposed the building of everyone of the new oneroom school buildings which have taxed the people. In which way, please tell mo. how the Supt could raise the taxes. The county ought to be proud that it has such a man—a progressive man, but it is the ignorant class that have no education that try to crucify the best men and women of Hie world. Why don't people in cities cry out againsj. consolidation of schools? —A TAX-PAY ER * MR. BABSON ON BUSINESS Editor Democrat: —Please print the following from Mr. Roger Babson's barometer letter which I believe will be of interest: Most people think of the soldier's bonus as a political fight in which they are not directly concerned. The truth is that any one of several bonus plans propoeed, if enacted, would greatly change the business outlook. The last plan proposed is the most dangerous of all, for it would again bring about inflation of bank credit which has taken nearly two years of business depression to correct. The first effect of the plan on business would be highly stimulating, and for a few months after it became effective prices and the cost of living would advance, money rates would tighten, the stock market probably would boom and we would have a partial repetition of conditions late in 1919; then another crash! For the past year and a half United States business has been slowly re covering from the last spree of inflation. Prices and costs are gradually being readjusted. Business is just now getting back to a place where, with good management. ,a peroid of solid improvement is in sight. The advice given in these letters has been based on the belief that Congress and the public had learned the folly of trying to get something for nothing. Moreover, we stili believe that good judgment will prevail in the present case. On the other hand, clients should fully understand the possibilities and be ready to act at once in case of inflation producting legislation! should be passed. About 5,000,009 men served in the Army and Navy during the war. The j average time served is placed roughly at 365 days. This makes a total of 1,825,000,000 days, of whi.ch time about one-third represents duty overseas. If the Government were to pay a bonus of $1 a day for duty in the Unted States and $1.25 a day for duty overseas the total would be approximately $2,000,000,000. This sum is equal to half the value of all goods manufactured in the United States in a month. It is greater than the average of all securities issued in this country in the course of a year, it would buy the entire average wheat crop at $2.50 a bushel. This gives a basis upon which to calculate tho amounts which the various bonus plans would require. The amount to be paid, however, is not so important as the method by which it is raised. If the money for the bonus is raised by a widely distributed tax, the transaction is only a transfer of buying power from one group to another, it should no! change the total buying of the conn try, altho it would help or injure cer tain localities and industries, depend ing upon whether or not they could benefit from soldier buying. This is why President Harding insists that no bonus must be paid by a sales tax. The plan now being considered would tie up our banking machinery. At first thought, the plan to pay soldiers in government notes or certificates And to have the banks loan on, these certificates appeals to many as a means of giving the soldiers a bonus without having to pay for it. A little sober reflection should prove that no one can give the soldiers something without taking it from some one else. If the banks furnish the money, the rest of the people will still have as , much money to spend and the sol l ! diers will have more, .but there will I be no more goods to buy than before! I What will happen? Exactly what ; happened when we inflated our cur- ' rcucy and bank credit in order to finance the war. Competitive buying will force prices upward. Speculation will accelerate their movement. Credit will become more strained owing tc the fact that the banks will have tied up so much of their funds in bonus loans. Production costs will soar * The spread between producer and ; consumer will ,be increased, and as soon as the soldiers have spent theli

WORN OUT AFTER SHE COOKED MEAL I ! Took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—--1 Read the Result Cincinnati, Ohio. — "I suffered for a year with nervous troubles and irregular-

ities before I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. My back pained all the time and I was unfit for housework. I was worn out if I cooked ■ meal, and was unable to do my washing. My girl friend* and my sister told me if I would take yourVege table Coin-

So I took the Vegetable Compound again and now I am the mother of al9 months old boy. He is fat and healthy and I am sure I could never have carried him if it had not been for your Vegetable Compound. I recommend your medicine to all women although I am young to be advising some one older. ” — Mrs. Christ. Petroff, 818 W. Liberty St., Cincinnati, Ohio. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound contains no harmful drugs and can be taken in safety by any woman. money business will sink back to a worse condition than before. We cannot believe that any such legisiat’-ji will be permitted. Business conditions tliruout the country should be allowed to readjust themselves along the lines explained iu our last week's letter. This is the only course back to lasting prosperity. There is short cut. The only possible means of making business really good is by producing more goods at less cost. Government subsidies may make active business for a short time, but the consumer always has to pay the bill. High taxes only widen the breach between producer and consumer and delay the return of real prosperity. It is high time that our Congressmen realized this truth and clients should exert every effort to make sure they do. SOLDIER'S FRIEND I. Bernstein spent the day in Ft. Wayne attending the Tri State Mer:hants’ Association meeting. itchlngeczema DRIED RIGHT DP WITH SULPHUR Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Men-tho-Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irriation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement. Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Mentho-Sulpbur from any good druggist and use it like a cold cream.

The well in question is located on the Smith farm, just east of the Portland-Win chested highway, and just over in Randolph county. , This well was drilled ten days ago and has flowed several times since it was shot. Mr. Wilson Rice, of this city, and who is an old experienced oil man gives us his most conservative estimate as to the daily output of this well which is 50 to 60 barrels per day. This is not flip first instance when oil’his been discovered to the south of Portland. In 1905 a big well was brought in in Pike township, also the lease known iva the boy farm has produced oil for years into the Standard pipe line, and the wells at Salem and Redkey showing without a doubt that oil lies ig every side and corner of Joy county. —Portland Sun , I
