Great Britain wants forty years in i which to pay the war debt they owe this country. Well the next time they ask to borrow why not tell them they can have it—in forty years. And from present indications it may not be very long until they apply. —— Fatty Arbuckle and Jess Willard are I putting on a rather unique race, each trying to come back into popular favor. Once these men were the idol-; of American film and tight fans, but' one fell out and the other dropped out and now the people smilingly ' watch their efforts and apparently chime: “We don't care if you never come back.” Fort Wayne, Columbia City and oth- < er nearby cities are fighting small , pox epidemics and due to the 1 ; that sufficient care was not given in , the start every body has been expos ed. The strictest care should b e used , and the time to make the tight is when < the first case appears. The co-opera tion of tile people by obeying vacina ( tion orders and quarantine to the let- i ter will prevent a spread of contagi- « ous diseases.

We are trying * to give you a good newspaper and it ( can only be done when supported. 1: costs a large amount to conduct : i daily paper these days and the business is by no means all roses and I profit. Each year for a decade the number of papers in the country ha: 1 decreased and we are proud of the splendid and loyal support given us in Adams county. W o will continue to give our best efforts to print a newspaper and to boost for the people of Adams county. Decatur is no different than thou sands of other cities. We need mort homes. No one perhaps is suffering for a place to live, but it is admitteu that if we had a hundred more housci they would be filled. The only thing about it is that we can’t grow to any extent without more homes and the problem is serious enough to make those who have the best interests of Decatur at heart to sit up and takenotice. A number of people want to build if finances can be arranged and since money invested in a good prop erty is safe, there is no reason why we should not let ourselves out a lit-

tie. Let's plan it now ao we will be ready to go ahead in the spring. Evidently the only thing considered In organizing the legislature by the republicans was James Watson, who Is a candidate for president. Those who cannot whoop it up for him were left in the cold when it came to num ing committees and parcelling other honors. As a result the majority side of the general assembly is not oiled for good work and results are much in doubt. Indications at this time are that but little legislation will be enacted. The Watson men will make a great effort to repeal the primary law, believing that if that is done the strength of Indiana can be organized for Watson and that's about all a lot of them think the session Is being held i for. President Harding will disregard I the views of the senate which voted almost unanimously that the thou sand American soldiers on the Rhine be returned at once. The interior government perhaps knows just why they won't do this and it may be a very good reason but it looks to a I rank outsider that permitting them Ito stay there after France renews hostilities with Germany is taking a big < hance on again getting into an expensive war. The days just now' , are perhaps more serious than most , people think for the world is on the brink of what may be a disastrous conflict and the world is not very well prepared to stand it. _________ 1 Thurman Gottschalk, of Adams 1 county, is certainly being loaded r down with duties and honors in the £ legislative session. He was nominal I ed by the minority for speaker and ■ was made minority leader. He has be- 1 sides received appointment on more ‘ committees of importance than any | man in tjie house. He will serve on | the following committees: congres- 1 sional apportionment; criminal code; ‘ elections; judiciary A; manufactur- ‘ ing and commerce; public morals; j roads; military affairs; mines and p mining; phraseology of bills; public 1 buildings- It is unusual to be named I I on eleven of the important commit- ( tees and Mr. Gottschalk will be a j very busy man the next two months, j As leader of the democrats he is mak- ( ing good and will so continue. He is t popular and knows the legislative I a business to a degree which will en- ; able him to guide the minority £ through with honors. ] o ] SCALES IN SCHOOLS 1 1 f Van Wert County Ohio Places Scales p In All County Schools Van Wert, 0., Jan. 9. —The Van | : Wert county department of public 1 health has received a set of scales to I 1 be installed in the central school of York township.

An annual business of $60.- . >™- *- atlves, which are operating success Siy in fourteen different branches : of form activities, is knocking him f successive rows of goals. Success of the Badger < oopera Ives is due in a large degree to the facts that the organizations have been evolved through long developments d with some state aid and super vision. and to the fact that many of the farmers of the state are 0 < dinavian descent, according to - Hibbard, of the agricultural economic department of the University of Wisconsin. The Scandinavians' successes are jue to long experience in their mother countries, where agricultural cooperatives are a matter of governmen tai policy. In Cheese and Livestock About 800 of the t wo thousand cheese factories that make up the manufacturing end of the industry in which Wisconsin produces threefourths of the nation's supply of cheese are cooperative, it is estimat ed. More than 600 co-operative live stock shipping associations are in operation at present, the first one in the United States having been started at EllswoHh, Wis., in 1908.
