twice its present size, but did It over occur to you that it can’t be unless we have more places in which to house people? We must build and ’ during the next year, if this city builds a hundred or two homes we will increase the population five hundred to a thousand. There is away to do it if we get in earnest as we should. The republican leaders are pleased with the resignation of Senator , Newberry. They would have been | more pleased had he handed it in a | year ago and it might have saved them >i few seats in the upper body. The democrats who led the fight are . also satisfied and the public feels a j great victory has been won. The j lavish expenditure of money to gain

•tn election always meets disapproval and evidently there is away to punish even when courts fail to do so. The Loyal Order of Moose will have x home of their own in a few weeks, having purchased the Omlor residence on Third street. They will remodel it and use it for a year or two tnd then expect to build a modern and beautiful home. The lodge has more than two hundred members and is one of the substantial organizations of the city. We congratulate them for their enterprise and assure them that the moral support of the people of this community is back

of their efforts. m .. — Five thousand citizens of thia community should assure the representatives of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen when they come here Thursday that we want to help them "Save the Children" and that if they locate their home here we will assist them in every possible way during the years to come to realize their great purpose, Wear one of thei badges, give the men a glad hand greeting and a smile of welcome that will convince them of your sincerity. These men have looked at a thousand sites but they think enough of Decatur to return here a third time. Be a genuine Decatur booster.

I The Fort Wayne News says it’s time to quit talking about Bam Ralston paying off the debt because he borrowed the money to do it with. Just where they get that way at this stage of the game Is hard to guess. Some one paid off, the debt while Ralston was governor and of course the governor got the credit as he deserved. Just the same when he went out of office the state didn't owe a dollar and had a million or two in the bank. What’s eating the News is the proposed boom for Senator Ralston for president and they may be expected to throw several spasms of this kind during the next two years. But the people seem to know a few things according to the recent election. Indiana democrats working under the leadership of Senator-elect Samuel ’M. Ralston, have wisely decided that their policy will be constructive rather than obstructive and to do what is best for the people of Indiana. As they say this will best serve their party. They will offer bills in the state legislature in keeping with the pledges of their platform and will urge the repeal of the Goodrich tax law. Though they are slightly in the minority, they believe they can have much to do with the legislation of the ' 1923 session. The tax bill will provide a limit on tax assessments except where referendum vote is taken. i would take away the power of the I state board and otherwise restore Jolt al self-government. A bill will also |he offered to do away with police j power now exercised by some of the state departments and they will make an effort to change the laws regulating the building of school houses. In short the party will stand against the bureaucratic power now in vogue. The people will approve their position. o Guaranteed to End All Stomach Distress The greatest prescription for Indi gestiof " Sour Stomach, Gas Belching or any Stomach Agony, Distress or Misery is called Dr. Orth's Stomach Remedy. Read what Mrs. Florence Smith, an Ashtubula, Ohio, lady says about it. “I suffered from Stomach Trouble for over a year—as a result my system became poisoned resulting in Rheumatism and backache, so much that I could not work and suffered untold agony. Got no relief until a friend got me a box of Dr. Orth’s Stomach Remedy and after taking one I have fully recovered and am now able to do my own work and work in the garden. I know people are skeptical as I was but all they need to do is try it. They will be just as enthusiastic as myself. So if you suffer from Indigestion. Sour Stomach, Gas Heartburn, Biliousness, Headache, Coated Tongue and pains in Stomach, go to your druggist at once and get a box of Dr. Orth’s Stomach Remedy and when you start to take it realize that Dr. Orth has used it successfully in thousandas of- cases exactly like yours. All good druggists can supply you. Special to out of town sufferers: 75 cents mailed to the Ortli Laboratory Company. East Liverpool, Ohio, will bring a box by post and guaranteed. « -e Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schafer and two sons. Billie and Dick, spent Sunday in Ft. Wayne. Dance K. of C. Hall Thursday.

This new inovation is a source of keeping our young people at home, and it is expected that the attractions will become better each Saturday night, as those interested will endeavor to put on the best of the latest films. The numbers rendered by the school orchestra between acts are worthy of commendation, as it is the source of greatly enlivening the pleasure of the evening.
