It’s their own plan and shows they are interested. Decatur and Adams county people should welcome them sincerely and frankly and give them the glad hand of hospitality. Congress is off again and now we shall see if the administration will persist in pushing through the ship subsidy' after the mandate given in the recent election. That they will try there is no doubt. It remains only to see how much judgment the members of the senate and congress will use. Efforts to crowd it through within a week is the program. Watch for some senatorial opposition. - ■ Don’t think that because Ohio voted dry again in the last election that every one’s tongue is hanging out in the Buckeye state. According to information gleaned from the papers the territory about Toledo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Youngstown and other cities of the Buckeye region, it’s about as moist over there as it was before Mr. Volstead inaugurated his famous half of one per cent, Marquis of Queensberry rules. Don’t place too much confidence in these fellows who are predicting a light winter. Following them for thirty years we notice that usually when all signs point to an open winter we have plenty of zero stuff. The facts arc no body knows much about it, wise as they would have you believe. Fill up the coal bin, put up some wood, fill the larder and get ready for winter. Then you are safe. [ Os course, you will understand that congress will meet Monday in extra session, but that it will take a vacation of a day or two just before the regular session which begins the first week in December. By adjourning for a day or two the members are entitled to mileage home and baek. Os course they will not come home, but an adjournment of a few hours brings “The Smoke • With A I ij Smile.” White | Sia 8 K Londres K. Cigar K for 15c * 16 Ask your ' dealer for it

the mileage money just the same. Bert Vestal will be there for that extra piece of money, as will all the others.—Bluffton Banner. I. I “• Frank Bacon, famed for his part as ,' "Bill Jones" in "Lightnln’,” died at • his hotel In Chicago yesterday. No actor before the American people has pleased more people than Bacon and • for nearly five years in his one role i . I he has made a success which places [ him among the realy great actors of i the decade. He helped to write the ' story of the play and he acted it as could no other man in the world. His death will cause universal sorrow among millions of admirers. Build a house. Tliere - seems to be no doubt about the fact that Decatur must arrange for houses or we will be unable to go farther with plans for increasing our population. Sev eral local industries are planning to increase their plants and add more m n and women to their pay rolls but without homes they cannot secure help. It's serious and it’s real business for the Industrial Association and for every citizen here. Perhaps you have something in mind. Write us your Meas and get in the game. Help boost Decatur. At last we have it —the first check for interest from one of the European nations accomodated during the recent wtfr. England has forwarded a check for fifty millions to pay her interest. Even in these days of titanic transactons when we discuss billions but owe most of it, fifty million in actual money is something. The check is drawn on the Britsh treasury acc< unt with an American firm of bankc: 3 and while only a small portion of v. hat John Bull owes us is important h cause it’s the first of the come b\?k and for a time it looked as though we might never get a penny b: ck. It should be a reminder of the cost of war at this time when a hr.lf dozen nations are again at the b: ink. Decatur must build a couple of hundred houses during 1923.. Even during the past two years slump tl ere has been few houses to be rented here and we cannot grow until w • get them. Plans are now- being worked out to secure money with which to aid those who desire to build and if we get the houses the town will grow a thousand the next year. That’s something and we ought not overlook the chance. One manufacturer told us that he had a li t of fifty people desiring to move h re if they can secure houses. Get your booster cap on. and see if you c n’t help out this problem. And what houses we build should be good he uses, that is not fancy, but livable Imuses where real homes can be made. Senator Newberry has resigned and so ends a fight of two years folkwing his victory over Henry Ford in the 1920 campaign by a few thousend, ft was shown and he adihitled ti e expenditure of a vast fortune to secure his seat in the senate. The supreme court held the law bad and Ibc senate confirmed his election j alter a long, hard fight. Eight sen- ' ators who voted for him met defeat lit! the recent election and the list in j eluded his collide, Senator Town |3-nd of Michigan. In his letter to Vice President Coolidge he says further effort to hold his seat would be futile and in that he is right. He would have been ejected by the new ebffgreSs. Newberry is done as are tr.fse others who think thet ean bu* public office. ———*—o~~ —** IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear mother, Mary F. Kinti, who departed this life October 18, 1922.

I «l«- 111 City And Adams County Keeping Up With Trend Toward Education Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 17. —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Discussing the reasons for the enormous increase of 1400 per cent in enrollment at Indiana university during the past 33 years and the 700 per ceht increase in enrollment among all the colleges and iniversities of the United States beween 1890 and 1920, Dr. William L. 'lryan, president of Indiana universiy, ascribes crowded conditions at institutions of higher learning to a steadily increasing demand for eolege trained men and women in alnost every walk of life. Decatur and Adams county are keepng up with the yearly increase in stulent attendance at the state university, according to its enrollment records. Decatur has 12 students at Iniiana university this fall, while Adams bounty has 24. The final fall semeser enrollment of 3233 represents on ncrease of 369 over the enrollment of the fall semester last year. The Indiana university president joints out that the increase in college jttendance throughout the country is relatively far beyond the increase in lopulation. The population of the United States grew 8 per cent from 1890 to 1920 while in the same period college and university enrollment increased more.than 700 per cent. Inliana's growth in population during hese years was 34 per cent, while the growth in attendance at the state university was 858 pOr cent, and this has ncreased since 1920 to more than '4OO per cent. i "Thirty years ago many business nen thought college graduates impractical.” says Dr. Bryan. "Horace ireeley said “of all horned cattle deiver me from the college graduate.’ 3y degrees business men learned that he college men and women on the iverage have as much sense as> the ithers and they have- something else besides. Nothing proved this so dearly as the great War. Our army ?taff made their lieutenants and cap‘ains almost exclusively out of colbge meh. Owe general said to me that they could teach the average college man more in three months ‘.han the average otttsitte would earn in a yoaf. Why was this? Because the college man has learned to read and understand, has learned to hdae and understand, has learned to jcA and understand.” TAe students from Adams county are as follows: Berne — Ernest Hiestand, Hilda Keusser Doster. Decatur —Victor Lowell Baltzell, Harry W. Christy, Harry M. Fisher, Dick Daniel Heller, Tfteftrs H. Hocker. Eddis JolrSewit, John Credo Miller. Victoria Ophelia Mills, Herman H. Myers.

Kain and A. H. Fry filed bids at Indianapolis Wednesday on roads to be t built by the state highway commission, but they failed to get any of the seven roads for which bids were re4

Icelved. The total of the low blds run [around $1,500,000, and on the combined total the Bluffton men, one of them stated today, were about $f(to,O»0 higher thitn the total of the low bids.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating too much niefit, Says a well-known authority. All excess of meat may form uric acid, which overworks the kidneys to their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve urinons waste, elsfe you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and 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 abont four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidheys 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 irritates, thus often ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpenive, cannot injure and makes *a deyghtful, effervescent lithia water drink. Drink lots of soft water.

Her rivers have a sweeter voice The flowers more precious be Her woods and fields they are the choice Os everything good to me; The air is filled with sweet perfumes From valley to highest dome, All odorous with blended blooms, My old Indiana home. That home is where affection calls Where our childhood days were spent * By babbling brooks or city halls And our parents came and went; Our heart dwells there with all its love Fond memories crowd ami come And make it sweet there’s none above My old Indiana home. The soil is rich, Iwr fields are green Or waving with golden grain So they who joy in landscape scene And products of soil and rain Find great enchantment and reward On her hillsides and in loam Stupendous praise unto the Lord, My old Indiana home. Her people are the social kind Who smile, lake you by your hand And welcome yon with open mind To all the fruits of the land; And when duty calls me away In some other place lo roam, I’ll not forget, a single day, My old Indiana home.
