How much did you make, now honestly? As part of their education, the 1 Portland, Bryant and Redkey schools ' will send the high school students to 1 Indianapolis to attend a session of the legislature. They might find out how fistic encounters are staged and I how illegal proceedures are made laws. A birthday greeting card mailed at 1 Richmond thirteen years ago was I just delivered yesterday to its destin ation, one block from its starting point and the person to whom it was addressed to, died in the meantime. Talking about a change in the Post-master-Generalship. it might be a good time to start. Representative Gottschalk from this I county tried and fought against the railroading of the reformatory appropriation bill through the house! yesterday, but his words of protest were ignored ami now the majority is going to make such actions legal. A great state of affairs, don't you think? Fort Wayne has taken steps- -towards river bank beautification. A dam is proposed and the flow of water through the city down the three rivers will be raised. My. wouldn't it be a fine thing if our congressman could get a bill through, providing funds for the dredging or beautification of the St Mary's rivetthrough Decatur and Adams county. It would be a real improvement. The public is cordially invited to the ceremonies incident to the dedication of the gymnasium and and torium of the Decatur high school this evening. Prominent men from over the state, including Mr. Ramsey, i state school inspector and Mr. Theater, state high school athletic director will be on the program and the addition to the modern and beautiful high school building will be fittingly dedicated.

1 Secretary Wallace of the departi aient of agriculture in making a I rough survey of the decrease in the value of farm lands estimates that j the farmers suffered a loss of thiri teen billion dollars in the decline of farm real estate from 1920 to 1922. To any other industry, except that of the industrious and hard working farmer, the decline would have meant itter collapse and destruction, but he farmer instead of growling anti lamenting, picked up his shovel and toe, so to speak, and worked all the harder and is now on top again. What would this country be without the farmer? The twentieth annual renewal campaign of the Decatur Daily Democrat. has been the most successful in the [ history of the local paper and we are grateful to the hundreds who renew-1 ed their subscriptions for another year during the first six weeks of our campaign. We like the j-b of pub-| lishing a paper and are here to stay and assure our readers tljat we will continue in the effort to publish a I daily paper in keeping with the com . inunity and in giving you the news, if you haven’t renewed yet, do so this month and then you'll be assured of. ' getting the news from Adams county, local items of interest and dispatches from over the state and na- : tion. The republican majority railroaded the appropriation bill for the new deluxe reformatory through the house yesterday, and in protest forty democrats left their places and walk ed out of tile state house.

were ignored by the chairman and the minority was not given an opportunity to offer amendm.nts or protest against the passage of the bill. Such is the legislature we have in Indiana Laws and rules are violated by those who are making laws for the other person to obey. The reformatory grab is about as rank as any pulled off in any state for years and no doubt will swing the state at the next election. In plain words it is a rot ten piece of polities, and the public is paying the bill. "And a little child shall lead them" England is all excited and worked up over the birth of a boy baby to Prin- ; cess Mary and Viscount Lascelles and stately old London and tricky | "Old John Bull'' forgot all about ■politics.

Without doubt the lovable and well . liked Princess Mary, would not trade i places with her mother. Queen Mary, or Viscount Lascelles with his father i in-law. King George.
