He believes Decoration Day -,hould be continued and that on this day men and women should cease their labors and devote one day of the year to the memories so sweet and so important. We should all be better citizens during the coming year because of this day. He reminded till that God has given us the greatest nation in the world, where live more than u hundred mill’en people and not a one among us need be hungry. “Today,’’ continued the speaker, “there is abroad in this land a feeling of pessimism and criticism. Think of being in this state of mind in a country like ours. Let’s all be fair and honest and broadminded, let's be optimistic and above all let us not forget that America is founded upon the right that people may worship as they please and that wo have the right to the pursuit of happiness in our own way.

MEXICAN BEET WORKERS HERE Train Load Os 205 Arrive From San Antonio, Texas; Experienced Workers Decatur gained two hundred and five in population yesterday when a train load of Mexicans arrived hero from San Antonio, Texas, completing the 1,000 field workers used by the Hollond-St. Louis Sugar company. A hundred are permanent residents here while the rest are brought iu each spring, during the best season. Late next autumn these Mexicans will be sent back to the border. The Mexicans reached here Tuesday night at ten o'clock on a special train via St. Minis and Kansas City, coming in over the Cloverleaf. The train carried six passenger coaches and a baggage ear, the latter being the commissary. One of the party, a man of perhaps sixty years, fell from the train near Frankfort. When the party arrived here his wife missed him and there was some commotion. The man was flinally located and brought in yesterday morning. Dr. Beavers, the company physician, attended his numerous bruises and injuries and by afternoon he was able to walk around The workers were taken to the beet factory here Tuesday night and given a big midnight feed. They are now being sent to the fields as needed and will be out by the last ot the week. “One of the greatest difficulties.” said L. A. Thomas who takes charge of the laborers, “is that they get all mixed up. Children become lost and it seems they have a hard time deciding which is which. Some times also the men and wives seem to be not sure just who belongs to who and it takes several days to get every body satisfied. They are a good working lot, however, more than half of (he two hundred just arrived having had experience in the Colorado beet fields. This is the best looking bunch of laborers we have had in a long time and will complete our labor worries for the season, we feel sure. o Mrs Chamncss Says Her Husband Is In Colorado Emory Chamncss, former Berne teacher and fugitive of the law, is on a ranch near Denver. Colorado. At least that is what his wife stated Tuesday. But those who believe this information to be correct can all be eo .uted mi one han I Mrs. Chamness and her son motored to Berne from Richmond Tuesday morning and attempted to “bluff” the school board to pay her $112.50 which she claims is back pay due to her husband. This is the second unsuccessful attempt which Mrs. Chamness has made to col lect this money. When Mrs. Chamness appeared in Berne Tuesday she bad with her a written order requesting that this money be paid to her. The order was dated. Denver Colo.. May 23, 192:’, and ordered the payment of this mon ey to be paid to Mrs. Chamness. The order bore the signature of “Emory Chamness.” Mrs. Chamness explained that her husband is now employed on a ranch near Denver and is earning big money. She stated that they would soon make good his debts (a promise given before and proven tin true) if she were treated right. However) she threatened that if the $112.50 is not paid, she wouldn't make effort to make good her husband’s debts. Her intimidations, how ever, failed to move the board. When the board refused to honor the order and pay the money. Mrs. Chamness became very augtry and promises to go to Decatur to obtain a court order. The county prosecutor was notified that Mrs. Chamness might call for such an order. Prosecutor Lenhart assured the school officials that no such order would be given on the strength of her paper alone. Mrs. Chamness has to date, failed to return to Berne with her court order. The signature on the order was coin pared with the signature of Chamness on some of bis returned checks and is prat tically identical. Police of Richmond have notified local creditors that Richmond banks have also been frauded by Chamness and that warrants are out against him in that city. The Denver story is given no credence. .—• ROOT INSTEAD OF UNION Jacob Stults led the Root township delegation Instead of Union township in the Seymour and Blair rally here in 1868 as was mentioned Tuesday evening.

We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars tile face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances Its appearance a hundred fold. Don't stay gray! laiok young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.
