It is not claimed that if you send John Tyndall to congress he will correct all the ills of government. That would be some job. He is just an ordinary citizen who has good common sense, is honest and believes an office a public trust. He will not misplace your confidence or resort to petty grafting. He will represent the people of this district and do it every hour he can serve. Congressman Vestal will speak at Berne Wednesday evening and of course, he will explain the charges of nepotism. Just how he will explain why he has three secretaries on the pay roll, but only one in his office, and why he draws pay for a char woman for a war committee now inactive are questions of some interest at least. If he can’t explain these things he should at least convince his audience just why he is worth so much more in dollars and cents per year than the congressman is supposed to draw. Governor Ralston is a man of the people. He will, if sent to the senate, make a record of which every Hoosier will be proud. As governor of this great state he made a wonderful record, standing for progress which would benefit, but frowning on useless expenditures. and as a result, the stale debt was paid off during his administration and a balance of three million dollars left in the treasury. The sum should have been sufficient to have prevented the slump back to a big debt and high taxes, but it wasn’t. !! -»!- » HI, ,1 John Tyndall will speak at the high school building in Jefferson township next Thursday evening and at Monroe on Friday evening. lie will not. be permitted to make many speeches in the county during the campaign, owing to the demands made upon him from the other counties in the district and you are therefore urged to attend one of these meetings if possible. Several other meetings will probably be held next week and the last two weeks of the campaign will bring a number of

political meetings to every township. The issues are important. Post yourself by attending the meetings. Root township paid $6,860.25 in state taxes in 1918. That was under the old law’. This year, under the new law, they paid $9,889.21. Os course, that’s only a little matter of fifty per yent more, but added to at that rate it won't take long to confiscate your farm. And just remember, Mr. Root township citizen, that in addition to this the new tax law, under which you are now paying, likewise increases your local taxes by permitting double the improvements. The law’ should be repealed and you should return to local self-government. That's what the democratic platform promises you. Thomas Marshall, honest, experienced, wise, a favorite in Indiana, has been named by President Harding as a member of the coal commission, to find out just what is the matter with the coal situation in America and several hundred thousand Hoosiers feel that if Tom Marshall has his way about it the public will discover just why we have to pay ten to fifteen dollars a ton for coal that sells at the mine for a dollar or two. There is one sure thing and that Is that Marshall will not be swerved from the purpose of his mission, and if they don’t want the truth told, better take him off before he starts..

The Elks’ Festival, which opens here Monday, is perhaps of more importance than the simple announcement indicates. True it is to be a week of fun and frolic when you are expected to have a good time meeting your friends, watching the attractions and entering in the spirit of the occasion, but the profits will be used to aid in building a handsome new home for the Decatur lodge -of Elks. This means an improvement to the city of many thousand dollars and gives the lodge members the opportunity for greater work. The Elks have long been known because of their liberal attitude in aiding others. They seldom ask for the co-operation of their friends, but just now they will appreciate a boost from each of you. Those who attend the big festival any evening next week or all, will have a good time and contribute to a good cause. o_ Portland Fell Before Attack of Decatur H.

iy Bent a courier by airplane warning the commander of the invaders to withdraw. This infraction of the agreement led allies to become apprehensive that they would have much difficulty in forcing the Turks to live up to their agreement. Some in allied circles, however, believed the invaders to be irregulars, over whom Kemal has but little control. The armistice between the allies and the Turks becomes effective at midnight tomorrow. At that time, the Greeks are to start the evacuation of Thrace and the allies are to enter and administer the affairs of the province.

the young Americans of the next generation that Mrs. Edward W. Burt of Salisbury, N. C., has set herself out to answer. Mrs. Burt is chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary committee to perpetuate the organization in a hereditary society.

\ I ~Ak,. -A

The Auxiliary, in its present makeup, is composed of mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of the members of the American Legion, and of the women of the same status who lost men in the World war. There is no junior society to the Auxiliary or to the Legion, such as there Is to other patriotic societies —for Instance, the Sons of the Revolution —but when a generation has passed undoubtedly such a society will come Into existence. It is to prepare the way for an hereditary society, composed of the daughters and granddaughters of World war veterans, that Mrs. Burt is working. Her plan will Include incorporation Into the Auxiliary records of the war records of the Legion men. So that future genealogists will have UO trouble in locating the war records of their granddads. THE VETERAN OF SEVEN WARS Robert Bruce MacGregor of Seattle, One of Eleven Survivors of His Old Regiment. A veteran of seven wars at fortyeight years of age, Robert Bruce Mac-

Gregor of Seattle, Wash., says that liis days on the battlefields are forever over and that he expects to devote the remaining years of his life to peace* ful activities. Mr. MacGregor served in the World war with the original Prince ss Pat regi-

ment, which numbered 1,093 men In 1914. Eleven of that 1,093 are now alive and only two of the eleven can walk, Mr. MacGregor is one of the two. He fonght In the Philippines during the Spanish-American war, in China durisg the Boxer rebellion, in South Africa during the Natal rebellion, the Matabele uprising and the Jamieson raid. Twelve medals, four decorations and wounds which keep him constantly under the doctor’s care constitute hts spoils. Although Mr. MacGregor has left the battlefield, he believes that there are peacetime battles to be fought. He has been fighting unemployment in Seattle in behalf of the American Legion for a number of months. He recently landed jobs for 236 former soldiers. More than that, he has adopted and is educating a fifteen-year-old boy. DESIGNS THE LEGION POSTER Drawing by Clarence Reeder, Newspaper Artist, Advertises the Big Meet at New Orleans. Nineteen New Orleans artists competed in a contest for a poster to ad-

vertise the American Legion national convention, but a former “top sergeant” won the prise of SIOO. Clarence Reeder, staff artist of a New Orleans newspaper, who drilled rookies at Camp Pike during the World war, drew the winning poster.

The successful design represents a doughboy, a sailor and a marine In uniform, looking at a guidebook, labeled “New Orleans, the Paris of the U. S. A.,” with a view of the famous French quarter below. Above the three figures are the Legion emblem and the words, ‘‘Oh, buddy, let’s go," and Jielow, “American) Legion National Convention at New Orleans, October 16-20." Forty thousand copies of the poster will be sent to all Legion post? and will pe on display In railroad stations in many-parts of the. country.

RED CROSS HEALS WOUNDS OF WAR 25,000. Disabled Ex-Servtoe Hen in Hospitals After Four Years of Peace. CHAPTERS’ FIELD OF SERVICE Every Veteran Needing Help Gets individual Attention of Sym* pathetic Workers.

When on November 11 the world halt* to observe the fourth anniversary of Armistice Day, and the American Red Cross Inaugurates its Annual Roll Call for thq enrollment of the 1923 membership, the people of the United States may well pauae to think of the unparalleled contribution to the cause of peace made by our Army and Navy In the World War. The glory of It is a common tradition; but the wounds of war remain. They are not healed in a day, in a year, nor in four years. And on Armistice Day there will be under treatment in Government hospitals over 25,000 ex-service men, broken physically by wounds, exposure. nervous strain and exhaustion Incident to their service in the war. The Government without stint is undertaking to furnish these disabled men with the compensation and medical care to which they are entitled, yet their especial care is s duty of the Red Cross. Why? Because the Government cannot handle the cases of ex-service men Individually; It must handle these men la bulk under a standardized policy. The Government has neither the authority, the funds or the equipment fur working out the problem of the individual man. There Is where the American Red Cross finds Its greatest field for service, aiding through its very active Chapters in reaching the disabled man with immediate practical help, assisting his family while his claim is emerging from the process of adjustment, furnishing articles of comfort, funds to tide over the difficult periods, the friendly touch of personal encouragement, helpful recreation and worry-dispclllng amusement It is the warm hand of sympathy and understanding which the American Red Cross extends to the majority of these disabled ex-service men, some ot them friendless in the whirl of life, thousands of them with wives and children dependent upon them, and hundreds of them frequently helpless in the face of grim necessity. 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veterans In this work, upon whose accomplishment the American Red Cross is urging a record-breaking enrollment in the Roll Call which opens on Armistice Day and closes with Thanksgiving Day, 2.679 Chapters in all parts of the country are engaged. This Is 350 more than were working for ex-servfce men last year when approximately $10,000,000 was expended by the National Organization and the Chapters working together In harmonious unity. For the current fiscal year National Readquarters appropriated $3,030,092.90, an increase of $365,560.84 over the amount spent for the work among ex-service men in the year ended June 30 last. Since It is estimated that the Chapters will expend close to $7,000,000 from their own funds, the grand total of Red Cross expenditures for this single work Is expected again to reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30, 1923. Hospital and District Office Work During the fiscal year a total of over 1,000 persons, paid and volunteer, has been engaged in Bed Cross duty In hospitals or district offices of the V. S. Veterans’ Bureau. An average of 8,000 new cases requires definite and particular attention each month. The demand for Chapter-made articles for hospital patients is constant. During last year Service Claims ami Information Service at National Headquarters handled 37,200 compensation and insurance claims, 24,560 allotment and allowance cases, and 9.700 miscellaneous claims. Since February, 1919, it has disposed of 64,174 allotment checks payable to veterans which the Post Office Department reported undeliverable. The Chapter Is the unit of the Red Cross organization which Is accessible to every disabled veteran or his family. Between July 1, 1921, and June 30, 1922, the Chapters had reported 1,665,079 Instances of service to ex-service men and their dependents, at a cost estimated from reports now at band of more than $5,340,000. The basis of this far-reaching work of the Red Cross is the Indlv'iual needs of the disabled veteran to the end that he may obtain his rights under the law, that his especial wants may be Immediately supplied, that his own and his family's situation may be rendered happy and cheerful, and that jtheir outlook for the future may visualize incentives for Independent and fruitful effort.

Arrangements have | been made for an exhibition of county relief, a school contest, and a pageant for tomorrow. Girls taking part in the pageant, must be decendants of Morgan coun-1 ty pioneers. For that reason all the I girl's have become genealogists and have scanned the family tree in an effort to find out whether their great great grand father had any Indian scalps to his credit.
