Now they try to tell us that the bird who said "My kingdom for a horse ” was trying to start his car on a cold morning, and those who tried it this morning will vouch that he was right. The woman's eight hour day bill has been killed anil we were just wondering if the bill bad passed if It would have affected the mother in the kitchen or the mother whose duty it was of taking care of the children. After looking over our news notes and then reading the following little squib we were convinced like the boy, that we had a business whom no one would try to take away: "My son,” said the father, who was addicted to moralizing, "this Is the age of specialists. Is there anything you can do better than anyone else in the world?’’* “Yeth, thlr,” lisped the small boy.

“I tan read my own writing.” 'l’he high school basketball team dedicated the new gymnasium by winning a victory over the Auburn high school team last evening, thus making the dedication ceremonies complete in every way. The new gymnasium and auditorium of the • high school is a beautiful and modern ; place to say the least and for years il will be the scene of numerous athletic events ami school activities. Decatur is to be congratulated on having such a modern high school and the efforts of the school board and Superintendent Worthman in behalf of the children are to be commneded. The Country Gentlemen in an arti cle in its February third issue dwels on the “Pittsburg-Plus” cost plan of selling steel. When steel is nurchas-l ed from one of the big steel mills, a I charge for freight from Pittsubrg lo| the destination or place where the material is purchased is levied upon the goods. In other words it’s a tax and the whole country, except Pitts burg, is objecting to such a plan. For instance, when the price of steel at Pittsburg was $30.00 a ton the price of steels at a Chicago mill, though you went to the mill with your truck and hauled it away, was $30.00, plus the phantom freight tax of $7.00 from Pittsburg, making the cost to the consumer, $37.00 per ton. The consumer of course is always paying the freight and it beats the dickens how these big steel mills can “tack” it on. Congress will adjourn March 4th and press dispatches state that cab-1 inet officers and congressmen are ; arranging several “junket” trips over the country. A special dispatch to i the Indianapolis News reads: “March 5 is the date for some of the junkets to begin. On that day the Henderson, most commodious of all transports, and the Christophal will sail from New York for southern waters with senators and representatives aboard. Secretary of the Navy Denby will be host on the Henderson to members of the congress at the early spring maneuvers of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. The criuse will last six weeks and the cost to each “junketer” (not to the governmnt; will be $1.25 a day for subsistence. The government will pay the balance estimated at sls a day a person. Legislators who wish to take thpir wives and luambcrs of their families on a spring outing will go to Panama and probably to Cuba on the Chistophal. The Henderson's party will be Strictly “stag.” Although the Christojihal is not as luxurious as the Hen-

dsrsoti, usr pusssugwrs win wv quirsd to MY ILK • <l*7 J Q<l same. Secretary Hughes will head a delegation to Sant lego, Chile, to at tend the fifth annual conference o( } - the Pan-American Union. The party p’ which will includa Senator Kellogg, f. of Minuesota. and Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, will be gone three months. r > Secretary Week* will take several members of the congress with him on an extensive inspection of domess tic and insular fortifications. The 8 party expects to spend some time in ® Honolulu. The committee on tend--3 tories of the house is going to Hawaii 5 to investigate legislative needs of the 3 Island. The territorial legislature has I appropriated $50,000 for entertain- . ment of the guests. Several special committees will be on the go most of the summer. One to investigate reforestration will start for Florida right after adjournment. With the advent of hot weather the investigators will travel northward, reaching the Maine woods about the middle of

June. In the fall, they will visit the, Pacific coast. Another special com > mittee will inspect the Mississippi, river its entire length with a view to, reaching a conclusion as to channel | depth. The investigation will start : • at New Orleans. A third special com-' mittee will go to Alaska to ascertain truth of reports that commercial fishermen are driving out independents The federal prisons of the United States will be visited by members of the judiciary committees of the sen-1 ate and the house who are anxious to get first-hand information about 1 convict labor. The passion for trav-i el became acute when it was an nounced that President Harding expected to spend the spring in Florida and the summer in Alaska.” PUBLIC SALE As I have quit farming.

!’ Mr* de j SOONER OR I-ATER, THEY AUI SAY IT j. I Hubby wus railing about his wite s e bargain hunting, and purchasing things u 1 oftentimes not necessary just because [.'they were cheap, winding up with, "It j ! seems you woman have a mania for b getting cheap things.” s Wify, not to be overdone, answerd, i-'"Yes, 1 suppose that's how 1 camo to I marry you. 1 can see no other reason." t That ended tho conversation, and s "that’s that.” i i„- . SIMPLE TWISTS Men who have mind* for only small J things are apt to have only small

things for minds. I An air of independence sometimes ends the independence of an heir. Getting out of dept is the best thing 'you can get out out of dept. Love is apt to be displeasing when it I is unrequited, but it is more apt to be ! unrequited when it is displeasing. He who make* marry hta whole life long makes hi* whole life short. If you will make a lot of friends they will make a lot of you. 8. W. K. UNPREMEDITATED THOUGHTS When shoestrings married I become united they are apt to make some one stumble. Nothing shows off a woman any more than the clothes she wears when she might have something on. Haste reduce* the waste. A reformer is one who is going the pace the’ kills joy. Excuses are like silk stockings: It is 'unite easy to see through them and quite embarrassing to have to marked an effort made to see through them. What a man learns about a woman depends upon what he tries to teach

her. IT’S NOT THE COST—IT’S THE UPKEEP THAT COUNTS (From Chicago Herald A- Examiner) IOWA WEDDINGS COST 39 CENTS ON BARGAIN DAY Be careful friends. Don’t let a bar.gain influence you. — UPLIFTING Jim Cutup is really a boy of some speed: , And yet it’s a fact, on the level, Tlie work that he does is uplifting indeed — He always is raising the devil. 1 -- HE SHOVELS OFF HIS WALKS Old Spriggins isn’t much on looks, his frame is built with curves and crooks, he has a wooden leg. His nose Is sadly out of plumb, one ear is badly on the bum, his face would spoil an egg. And yet 1 grab my trusty tyre ' and titillate its strings of wire in praise of this old Socks: I sing of him ; in ardent tones with forces to wake Davy Jones. He shovels off his walks. His walks are always free from’snow ami on them you may freely go with confidence. I ween; you will not fall and bust a slat or drive your beak up hi your bat or bustlcate your bean Ay. you can travel by his place and I never fall and sprain your face or, mutilate your eurs; his walks are cleared of slip’ry slush and o’er them you may lightly mush, devoid of all I wild fears. Oh, some men win the loud applause by shaping sundry civil ’ laws, in his humbleway, is greater I than they—no matter who they ? are. So, tho his limbs are out of plumb ■ and warts are on each knee and thumb ’ and bunions in his socks, I chant to him a vagrat verse and vow he should ! receive a purse. He shovels off hit 1 walks. i Uncle Dud. ■ -.— WELL* PERHAPS, I CAN’T SAY NOW

Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur prepara tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy because it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or disfigurement. Rowles Mentho-Sulphur always heals eczema right up. A small jar of Metho-Sulphur may be had at any good drug store.

IT STARTS PROMPTLY IN THE COLDEST WEATHER The behavior of Dodge Brothers Motor Car on zero days is a fair example of its fitness the year round. You turn the switch, stop on the button, and the motor starts—without undue noise or delay. The reasons are readily understood: The coordination of the power plant is well nigh flawless. The slightest impulse sets it in motion. The battery—o-ceils, 12-volts—is unusually large. A high-vacuum carburetor so thoroughly vaporizes the gasoline that it ignites instantly under the spark. The electrical system is remarkably efficient and cuts to a minimum the usual voltage lose between battery and starter. Finally, the starter, itself—an admirable example of its kind—is directly united with the engine by a chain drive which is always in mesh —a fact having much to do with the promptness and quietness of its action. The price is $1535 delivered. T. J. DURKIN DECATUR, INDIANA Distributor for Adams County Wj~ ~ij Hwwn'iiSSiiiiel' 'M . ■"uHr li-i ..--a.
