Mo Well if the legislature does anything more to add to the burden of taxes they will have to do it in the next ten days. They adjourn a week from next Monday and the final rush, usually a dangerous period, is now beginning. Promises of economy seem to have been forgotten if they were intended to be anything else. We doubt if the record when summed up and coldly examined will meet tire approval of very many people in Indiana. Messrs. Bitlift and Horne of the maintainence department of the state highway commission seem to think that there is a splendid chance to secure the paved road between Decatur and Fort Wayne and there is no doubt as to the willingness of our people and of those along the road between the two cities. It seems assured that any co-operation possible and necessary will be gladly given. The road will be surveyed early in the spring and such steps taken as to bring the importance of the highway to tin; consideration of the state board. Fifteen or more republican members of the. house are ‘'insurging" against the proposition of the senate finance committee in raising the. ap propriation bill somethng like two million dollars, and have served notice they wfll not stand for it. The insurgents are caucusing daily and threaten to make their demand straight to the senate, and not wait until lie conference report is up for adoption. The insurgents seem in earnest, but some of them "seemed" in earnest while the bill was before the house, but calmly walked chalk when the final vote was taken. — Bluffton Benner. Attend the meeting of the Decatur Industrial association this evening and assist in lhe selection of a board of directors and plans for the coming year. We need such an association and we need your co-operation. During the year it is hoped and expected a number of things will come up when it will be necessary to have the united effort of the common ity and with a going organization it is so much easier to meet these de mauds. The association is economically conducted and with only o«e purpose in view—to help this com munity. You should be a member am! an active one. Come tonight and take. part. If you have some Ideas which you think will bring better results, bring them with you and be sure to give them. The season of grippe, flu, severe colds and pneumonia is here and there is much sickness. Advice may lw unnecessary but it won’t hurt and the greatest medical authorities arc agreed that much of the illness cun be prevented. Too much care cannot be taken of the body during epidemics of Ihls kind—or at any other time for that matter —just now, though, more than the usual amount of care, should be exercised in kepeing the health of every man. woman and child in the community. Plenty of fresh air, exercise and well cooked, wholesome food is a general prevent.iliie which very seldom fails. By using a little care there is no reason why the average person cannot remain healthy. Statistics show that much sickness is ciytsed by careless-

nous, the carlew timti or troihan iS a Imek number. Be careful and thus be progressive, while you are also keeping healthy, On the evening of June 20th and nil the following day this city will have as hor guests the firemen of northeastern Indiana, delegates from thirty-six towns and cities, fifteen hundred visitors and fifteen to tweu -ty bands, it will be a gala occasion and we should make every effort to meet them and greet them as is proper. A number of years ago we had the same honor and did the job well. We should show them that we have become better and better with each succeeding year. We all have at interest the work of these men who for very little pay protect th" property and lives of our people from fire. The day should be a happy one wih a splendid program. No doubt the tiremen will plan that part but we can help them in many ways, by subscribing to their fund, by decorating our homes and business places and making ourselves members of the committee on reception and extending to each visitor such a welcome that they will tell their folks at home, that Decaur is a good place to come to and stay in. — • LENT AND MODESTY By George W. Manley In Erie Roalroad 'Magazine The self-control demanded for the practice of modesty is, without doubt, more necessary today than ever before. The trend of modern life is oppos ed to the development of this virtue, and its whole weight is directed toward sense-indulgence and toward that wheh is material and that which is gross. The life of the world around about is seems to be honeycombed with this love of self-indulgence and sen sual gratification. The so-called literature that obtrudes itself on bookstands and. alas, at times in our own homes, it such that it arouses and sullies the imagination by things that are low and coarse ami often indelicate; plays and moving pictures that hold out allurements for our presence are in many cases such as to shock any decent sense of modesty. The fashions indress, dictated by the prevailing social tyranny, often make their appeal to that which is base and low. The subjects of conversation in mixed companies, the easy throwing aside of conventions that ought to govern the relations of men and women, and the general loudness looseness and vulgarity of manners, al! make an appeal through the sense to that which, if not iminedi ately sin, comes very close to the borderland of sin, and is certainly not tar from serious temptation and danger. Since this is our present condition and actual environment, Hu- necessity of the daily practice of modesty becomes self-evident and the holy season of Lent could well bo given over to acquiring this virtue.

AN HONORABLE DEGREE Said the friend to the proud father of the college graduate who had just been awarded an A. M. degree: “I suppose Hobert will be looking for LL.B, next."

SOMETIMES DESTINY MISSHAPES OUR ENDS (From Times-Jonrual, Dubuque, la.) Louis Pohl, 820 Nevada street, sustained injuries Thursday afternoon at the Morrison Brothers Plant that will keep him in bed for some time. While lifting a large boiler, other workmen allowed the weight of the heavy tank to come down on Mr. Pohl’s end. Work of this kind is very dangerous. and only men of wide experience should be employed. E PLURIBUS UNUM Alas! I have loved and lost! It has totally rained my life.

"Rev. D.

Tho idle youth are thick as fleas and I have plead on bended knees, they laugh me plumb to scorn; such kind of labor always calls for gingham shirt and overalls—the garb by labor worn.
