The entry list for candidates will close one week from today, so if you are contemplating getting into the contests its time to act. Well anyway its the time of the year when most of us would prefer a strike of the coal miners to one of the ice men. If you have an opinion on any subject of public interest you are invited to express it through the “People’s Voice” column. That's the best way to get it to the people. The season approaches when it will be the umpire who is the goat for every game lost. Hut its an ill wind which blows nobody good. Think of the long rest for the basket ball referee. Candidates for committeemen must file their declarations by April Ist. A notice appearing recently fixed the date for April 12th but this is an error. The latter date is only for delegate candidates. While the plan is to pigeon hole the bonus bill in the senate there is a strong chance that it may be made so hot for those thus inclined that they will have to show their hand before congress adjourns for the campaign. Did some one say something about being done with “wiggle-wobble?” Beveridge says that New’s record in the senate won’t stand the light of publicity and that he hopes to be nominated by the use of stacks of the coin of the realm, serious charges but perhaps Beveridge knows what he is talking about. Anyway he keeps right on saying things like that. Mellon and the president insisted that the bonus bill be put on the shelve and the answer from congress was a vote favorable, by an overwhelming majority. Now it’s up to the senate and after it is passed there if it is found impossible to dodge the responsibility it will still be possible for the president to veto it. It’s a hard road to travel but back of the bill are a det ermined lot of youngsters, don’t forget. A forty thousand dollar addition to the Decatur high school building providing assembly room and a gynasium will be built during the next few months, bonds having been sold yesterday. When you stop to think of the progress made along this line in Decatur the last twenty years you will find we have kept up with most communities and ahead of a good many. A city is largely judged by her schools and churches. A great man indeed was he who said: “Give me a few friends who will love me for what. I am or am not and keep ever burning before my wandering steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me and I come not in sight of the castle of my dfeams. teach me still to be thankful for life and times old memories that are good and sweet: and may the evening twilight find me gentle still.” Gifford Pine-hot, one time first lieutenant in Theodore Roosevelts progressive organization has bobbed into politics again after eight years absence. This time he is a candidate for the republican nomination for

’lgov< vlvanhi and says will bury bosses and burrooms. He charges that saloons still operate In '• the Keystone slute where they pay r StI.OOO presumably to sell pop but in '■ reality to "bootleg." He Is tackling r r some job but is able and may put over his effort in the last state in the union said to be really "bossed." B — J Well its settled anyway. Wo are I now in full partnership with Great 5 Britain, franco and Japan to keep the * peace of the Pacific. The four power ? treaty was adopted yesterday by the J j United States senate. The leaders - who you remember campaigned every state in the union two years ago, arj gulng against any foreign alliance have now changed their minds and instead of being members of a league • of nations including all the powers of I the world we are members of a group of four. Whether this be for good or to the injury of this nation is for the future to decide but anyway it is settled and we can now turn our attention to other problems and we have them to turn to if any one asks you. Attorney General U. S. Leah has filed suit against eighteen men who are members of stone construction firms whose plants are in the vicinity of I Bedford and who are charged with having organized a conspiracy which is r in restraint of trade. Lesh asks that the franchises of the companies represented be revoked and that receivers be named to close the business ( of each. It is some indictment and it . is presumed the attorney general . knows where of he speaks. There has been and still is entirely too much of this conspiracy work in restraint of trade and the officials are to be commended in they go through with this . Usually in such cases however the defendants are able to work out some . sort of an alibi and the people will have to be shown in this instance. When democratic papers recite the , do-nothing record of Senator New. it , is of course taken as pure politics, , but. when Mr. Beveridge of his own , party and a candidate against him for the nomination does so. it . ought to make it plain that his record will not stand investigation. in a speech at Rich- , rnond, Beveridge said the senator of- [ sered an amendment to the emergency tariff bill, or the farmers’ tariff j bill, providing for an almost prohibitive tariff on airplanes. He said . Senator Penrose opposed it, and' dot ing so observed that it “seems utterly indefensible.” Mr. Beveridge said Senator New insisted on a roll call on I the amendment and it was defeated , 64 to 10. “So ended my opponent's ( constructive effort to aid American , agriculture by imposing a high tariff , on foreign airplanes,” said Mr. Bev- , eridge. “Some weeks ago,” he continued, “my opponent made two aps peals for the support of the farmers, ] giving as his reason, the passage of six bills for the relief of those who produce the nation’s food. All of these were what were termed 'farmer bloc’ measures. Four of them were j passed without a roll call—no ayes and noes; and on the day two were , passed my opponent answered no roll . call whatever and therefore was certainly not present. On another of , these very bills my opponent voted in the negative and on the conference I report on that bill he did not vote at all. No complaint should be made of my opponent because of this rather pallid and negative showing made by the official record —doubtless he had the best of reasons. But is it fair for ( him to plead for the support of farm- ! ers upon the ground of the passage I of measures for which he did not vote or which he opposed?” - Len Shirk of Monroe made a busis ness trip to Decatur this morning. 5 George Harvey of Monroe is home } from Muncie where he has been at- . tending the normal school. ' WISHES HE HAD KNOW IT SOONER “I only wish I had discovered Foley's Honey and Tar 10 years ago as 1 have been the victim of attacks of influenza - and bad colds until I found this wonderful relief,” writes W. H. Gray, 554 Nowita Pl., Venice, Cal. Foley's Hon- > ey and Tar helps coughs and colds, bronchial and la grippe coughs tickling throat, and hoarseness. It is good i for croup and whooping cough. Mr. Gray adds "Worth its weight in gold. Marvelously effective.”

The stenographer must get It as fast as I dictate, and get it right; must be absolutely accurate; must have human intelligence. If you are not a crackerjack, don't bother me. This is one of the letters received, in the mail the following morning: I note your requirements, as aired in the newspaper, and hasten to make inquiry as to this strenuous business that takes such an extraordinary stenographer. Your advertisement appeals to me strongly—stronger than prepared mustard—as I have searched Europe, Airope. Irope, and Hoboken in quest of someone who could use my talents to advantage. When it comes to this chin music proposition, I have never found man. woman or dictaphone who could get first base on me, either fancy or catch as catch can. I write a shorthand so fast that I have to use a specially prepared pencil with a platinum point and a water-cooling equipment that I have constructed a texorbitant expense, a note pad made of asbestos composition, covered with human hide, ruled with sulphuric acid and stitched with catgut. I use the A. W. ignition, double unit high-tension system exclusively and will guarantee to deliver my rated horsepower under either A. L., A. M„ or A. E., standard. I have been passed by the national board of censorship and guaranteed under the pure food and drug act. I run with my cutout open at all speeds, and am in fact a guaranteed double hydraulically welded dropforged oil tempered specimen of human lightning on a perfect thirty-six frame ground to one-thousandth of an inch. At hot air juggling you have nothing on me. If you wish to avail yourself of the opportunity of a lifetime, wire me; but unless you are fully prepared to pay the tariff for such services, don't bother me. as I’m so nervous that J can't tand still long enough \o have my dressmaker measure my clothes. Spare your time and money unless you want to pay at least $5.00 per week in cash or its equivalent.—The Shield. ■ e ORCHARD DEMONSTRATIONS Two spraying and pruning demonstrations were held in the county last Thursday with the assistance of C. L. Burkholder, of Purdue Univer-> sity. The demonstration in the forenoon in the Krueckeberg orchard in about 25 farmers of the neighbor hood. Mr. Burkholder first discussed the proper and improper methods of pruning and showed how this operation should be carried out. The' fact was emphasized that pruning should be done at the top of the tree rather than at the bottom, as is tho common practice of those not acquainted with the proper methods. This allows more sunshine to reach the inner parts of the tree as well as makes it nearer the ground, which makes proper spraying easier. Mr. Burkholder also stated plainly that it is absolutely of no use to prune if spraying is not also done. Since the present time is probably' , the best or most popular time to ap- , ply the dormant spray of lime-sul-phur, Mr. Burkholder sprayed a few 1 ■trees, showing the most efficient 1 way. It was also shown that under . no condition can all the tree be cov- i ered with one application which 1 makes it necessary. 1 thltt they ’be ' sprayed ,at two different’times when - the wind is coming from different ; directions. I The afternoon meeting in the Dan j Mazelin orchard in Monroe township ] was attended by between 50 and 601 , farmers. Those wishing further in- ’ formation concewrfftg spraying ant! pruning should write or call the eOun-il • ty agent. j,

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a wellknown authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys and they become sort of paralyzed and cloggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste else you have backache, sick head-1 ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather ig bad you have rheumatic'! twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds anti you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts take a tablespoonful in a glass of Filter before breakfast for a few days and your 'kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the, acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize adds in the urine so it no longer iiritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot ! injure and makes a delightful, eft'ec-i vescent lithia-water drink.
