Flan to decorate for the ’ big day. 1s t your enthusiasm out for the next two weeks and lets show our guests tho real Hoosier hospitalH ity which has made the state famous, i ' i Voters of Indiana will be presented i , the campaign issues during tho next 1 two months and they will bo again asked to vote against the tax com- ' mission law. the do nothing congress, • > innumerable boards of Indiana, the failure to produce a market, the redlculous tariff which nrolougs present industrial conditions and in Indiana tho voters will not bo slow in doing it. Your first duty is to register and thus quality to cast your ballot. If you do wo are sure the vote in November will be right. Final vote on the unfair and unjust and unnecessary tariff bill is scheduled for tile 21st. It will be interest-’ ing to note who of the senate favors this bill designed for the protection of a very few at the expense of millions but even those supporting it do i net expect it to become a law for months if it ever does. It will go to a conference of house and senate members with more than two thousand amendments, pasted on in the senate and it will probably never emerge, unless the next congress makes possible a law to the satisfaction of the blocs the present tariff will probably remain in effect. President Harding is alarmed over the strike outlook. Chances for set--1 tlement are slight and the outlook for ' a strike which includes the railroad • brotherhoods and many othr workmen ■ is such as to frighten those who are giving the matter closest attention. It , should also frighten the members of [ congress and others but they seem to lbe fiddling while Rome burns. The president has called congress to meet next Tuesday at which time it is ex-

pected he will inform them in very plum terms of the serious conditions now exiting. The danger is that procrastination has reached a point where anythin;' they do will be 'might with grave possibilities. Government is not such a simple matter after ali. There may be an idea iii iuc minds of Bome people that tho big event here on the 22nd includes a plan to raise money witli which to buy hind If there is get it out of your head. You will not. be asked for a penny and the great organization of Yeomanry will not accept any officers of that kind. There is nothing being hidden. The lodge will locate a great national home and school for the children, similar to that at Mooseheart pud they will select the place which meets the specifications as to climate, beauty, the people and the spirit evidenced. That’s all there is to it. People of Adams county are invited to join in extending them a welcome August 22nd. Let there be no fear of any game of any kind. “Save the children” is the slogan back of the great ideal for which Yeo manry is striving. Our visitors ou tin 22nd will be filled with that one idea, admitted the most important in tin world today and the real means ioi safe guarding the future. Decatur would of course be proud to be seleced as the place in which the wonderful school is to be located but whether it is or not we gain ff we continue tv see the big thoughts back of the move 1 ment. It is nothing to make a million dollars or to win a great victory as compared to the saving of one child. Tomorrow depends unon it and it is our duty to help encourage the work proposed by McKee and Frink and Farmer and others who are devoting so much time to this big job. We propose to convince them on the 22nd that we grasp the liner ideals back of Yeomanry. i — • PARADE COMMITTEE MEETS TONIGHT AT 7 O'CLOCK The members of the parade committee for the Yeoman Day celebra ‘lon will meet this evening at the De ■atur Industrial rooms at seven o’clock.

It was reported that mules had been returned to the stable at other mines. _• “Why I Put Up With Rats for Years,” Writes N*.

DEMONSTRATION HELD YESTERDAY Tho first meeting of the Berlell of poultry meeting and culling demonstration was bold nt the John Eicher farm, just north-east of Berne Ttiesd.i) morning. County Agent Bus’he was assisted by Walter J. Krick, of Decatur, who has had special work in poultry at Purdue. An actual count showed there wore 35 at tlie meet iny which is indicative of the large amount of interest in this phase ot farm work. Mr. Krick had charge of the first part of the meeting and gave a ts!'< on feeding of laying hens. In his tain Mr. Krick emphasized the fact, that many people overlook the necessity of feeding a laying mash at this time of year and are inclined to let the liens consume too much grain, which is heating and fattening and is not conducive to the best egg production. If hens are allowed to have their choice they will not consume as much mash as to balance the ration correctly and accordingly arrangements must be made to have plenty of tlie mash in the places they frequent dur ing the hot weather. In the instruction concerning culling Mr. Busche stated that every flock of hens has sonic culls, the percentage depending on tho breeding of the dock, their care, feeding and other factors. For best results it is necessary that all hens having low egg production records be removed from the flock. If this is done year after year, the average egg production of the flock will be gradually increased, eggs will be produced more economically and better breeding stock will be available. It was pointed out that egg producing ability is inherited just as other characteristics are inherited in cattle or hogs and that a high producing flock of hens may be obtained by grading up the flock by culling and by using high grade breeding stock, i Mr. Eicher's entire flock was gone* through those present and a number] of culls were taken out. These will be kept for a week in order to find out what results were obtained. Mr. Eicherd has kept record of the number of eggs received front the entire flock for a week preceding the bulling and will also keep record of the eggs received for a week after the culling. Other demonstrations planned for this week are as follows: Chas Bentz, Hartford Township, Tuesday afternoon, August Bth, C. O. Green, St. Mary's Township, Wednesday forenoon, August 9th. Adolph Schamerloll, Union township, Thursday forenoon, August 10th. Peter Hess, Washington township, Friday forenoon, August 11th. Forenoon meetings will be held at 9 a. nt. and afternoon meetings at 1:30 p. m. Ten other demonstrations have been planned for the following two weeks and the schedule will be pub lished within a few days.
