The fall rains came a little late, but they seem to be here and the weather which makes a fellow cuss the coal operators also. Cheer up. though. Wo still have Indian summer coming. ________ • Two weeks from next Thursday is Thanksgiving and four weeks later comes Christmas. It's well to keep these dates in mind and not put off making your plans too long. Decatur is proud of her high school football team. They have the grit, the ■ weight, the courage and the team- ( work. Coach Moore has done well in building the team and they are mak- ■ ing a record worth while. The Indi-, anapolis Times recently placed them, among the five best in the state. The advertiser who keeps right at' it picks the largest harvest. The fel-. low who just uses spree occasionally does a hit-and-miss usiness. With the fall season just a; hand you should ' be telling your message to the people I of Adams county and there is just one way to do it, systematically and economically. Use The Daily Democrat.

Boost for Adams county. The community meetings this winter and the sessions of the Decatur and Berne business associations should provide interesting programs. There is much ’’ to do iu 1923 and every citizen of the ’. county should co-operate in doing it. , Let’s make a program that will carry us forward and put us on the map. This is the best county in the state J and »e can help every citizen by pull--1 ing together for the common good. > ——— i i The next two years will be busy iu J political circles for the lining up of I forces has already started. Even now Ralston-for-President clubs are being organized and others are being groomed in both republican and democratic ranks. A big fight seems probably between the Borah-Johnson-Pinchot forces and the Harding crowd and in about every thing done in a public way from now on you will see fence building. "So Lodge came limping in,” was I the remark made by ex-President Wilson, when informed that the Massa- ■ chusetts citizen who laughed when! told the president had suffered a: stroke, had received a very slight ma-1 i jority in a strong republican state. , The standpat leader will probably continue in the senate another six years, but much of his power is gone ami he will not be able to put over his i strong arm tactics as he has the past | 1 I two years. i Secret workings of the Ku Klux I caused the defeat of a number of can- ! didates over the country in last Tues- . day’s election, a thing to be regretted, i for these mysterious affairs are never I a good thing. Fights should be open 1 and fair to get best results. Some I of those defeated were democrats and some republicans, some were worthy I and some were not. the only thing • about it was the methods used. It’s ! lik e stabbing people in the back and it can’t last, long in this country where , | people like a fair and square battle. , l ln Oregon the people actually voted , X U —

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1922.

Oats that cook in five minutes Quaker Oats now come in two styles, the Instant and the regular. Instant Quaker, perfected by our experts, is the quickest cooking oats in the world. It cooks to perfection in 3 to 5 minutes. Both have that matchless flavor which has made Quaker Oats supreme. Both are flaked from queen grains only—just the rich, plump, Savory oats. But in Instant Quaker the oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner —that is all. And the small thin flakes cook quickly. Tell your grocer which you want If Instant Quaker, look for "Instant” on the label Instant Quaker Oats Cook in 3 to 5 minutes for an amendment to the constitution which does away with every parochial and private school. How would you like it if you were forced to worship in a certain manner or educate your children as some one else thought proper? It’s time to stop and do a little thinking. Senator Beveridge is to write the life of Lincoln. Needless to say it will be a history worth reading for no one of the present time wields a more in teresting pen than the Hoosier politician and historian. His life of Marshall is one of the great works of the age and the story of Lincoln will no doubt surpass it in interest. Evidently Mr. Beveridge has quit politics and will devote his life to literary work which he loves so much. Just now there is a lot of talk about moving the state university from Bloomington because of the lack of water. It seems to us a waste of time and effort. It would cost millions and the tax payers are heavily burdened. The I. U. campus is one of the most beautiful to be found any where. It would be wiser if the state would take charge of the water situation and expend sufficient money to assure a water supply. The matter will come up in the coming legislature. The state legislature will be a busy place when the general assembly convenes in January. The republicans have a slight majority in the house and senate, but they will not have a walkaway and it is quite probable that the democrats will be able to get through some needed laws in the way of repeals of certain boards and commission authority. There will be less centralized control, at least, and the republican leaders know they will have to do some thing or in two years the voters will talk still louder. Democratic members of the legislature will meet soon to discuss plans for the session. _ ________ President Harding has called a special session of congress for the 20th and between that time and March 4th next he hopes te secure the passage of the ship subsidy bill and a sales tax law. The people are opposed to both of them, but the administration hopes to pass them and then adjourn until December of next year, giving the public a chance to cool off and forget—but they won’t. The enaction of these two bills or either of them, will spell certain defeat for the G. O. P. in 1924. The ship subsidy law proposed would practically give 2,300 ships to the big trust and then give them an additional $75,000,000 a year tor ten years with which to operate the ships and make a great profit. The sales tax would impose a tax on each article you buy either by the retailer or the manufacturer and would be most unpopular.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a Woman’s Medicine for Women’s Ailments. Always reliable.
