Just one more week of the primary and the candidates will be busy this week. The duty of selecting candidates is an important one for the best asset for any party is to have efficient men and women in office. It’s reported that Henry Ford is seeking a site in Indiana Well if he comes to Decatur we can prove to him that we have a united community and one that will answer ajjout every requirement he could exact We have good railroad facilities, reasonable priced land, finest people in the world and a bunch of good boosters Secretary Mellon of the United States treasury says we will have a five hundred million dollar deficit by the end of the year and wants congress to provide the money to meet it but congress is made up of politicians who refuse to increase the tax on the eve of an election, preferring to let Mellon sweat and he will. Hear Daniel W. Simms at the court house Friday night of this week. He is one of Indiana’s greatest citizens, a lawyer of ability and a deserving candidate for the democratic nomination for United States senator. He should be given a full house w’hen he speaks here for his address will be a sound and logical ohe touching questions in which you are all interested. There still seems to he plenty of coal and many cars are reported to bet standing on the tracks near the mines without orders. However local manufacturers report that orders are not being taken and every indication is that those in control intend to boost the prices. The people can beat the game by putting in coal now at the old price and we understand this can be done. It may not be a bad idea either for there is but slight chances for lower prices that those to be had now John Tyndall should be nominated for congress next week. He is a farmer and business man and has ‘ proven by his efficient record when given a public office that the people' can trust him. He should be given| a solid vote in Adams county and youshould do more—you should see that | all your friends over the district] know about him. This country needs just such men. He will not be an ob-: structionist but a constructionist and his vote will always be cast on the side of the people. Point to a single thing that Mr. Vestal has done in six years if you can. Is that the kind of a man you feel ought to represent this great district. If John Tyndall goes to congress two years we will bet a few dimes you will know he is there. Try it

T We think we are living in a great age and that we have mude wonderful advancement during the past decade or two and we have, but here comes the radio und all its possibilities which are bound to grow rapidly and now we have Prof. C. Newton Harvey's lucerferin or perpetual light by which we will have a continuous light unequaled and without expense except preliminary Installation. Twenty years from now our grand children will look back on this age of telephones and electric lights and wonder whta kind of old fogies we were. The Decatur light and power plant is going along nicely these days. The street lights are well taken care of and the service is as good as you can get anywhere. We are also happy to tell you that the departments have money in the bank and their bills paid and a high class credit. It won't hurt a thing to say so. These public service commissions are doing much these days and hope to do more to keep Decatur up to the first grade, comparing with cities much larger. We appreciate it and we think the clzens do in general. New and Beveridge are still batting each other over the head. Beveridge makes fun of New’s record and New say all Beveridge did was to make speeches. Now each has his first lieutenants out over the state putting the finishing touches on the campaign and each is claiming every district in the state. We don't know’ which one will win but it won't make much difference if the public takes at full value the estimate placed on either by his opponent. Voters will still have the privilege of voting for the democratic nominee next November and that's just what a good many will do. Have you noticed improvement in your telephone service. If you have why not say so? We are all prone to find fault and to declare ourselves rather emphatically when public service corporations do not come quite up to our hopes and expectations. We should be equally generous with our rprxise but we are not. When the service is excellent we just take it for granted, when we should find time to say so. Tell the manager or call the girls up and give them credit. It’s a hard job they fill and they work hard hour after hour and day after day to please the public and without a word of appreciation. It makes life a lot easier when some one calls in and says thank you. ‘'The Time of His Life" —Gym. Thursday and Friday nights. 97t5 BUY THE ROAD BONDS.
