formed. In ten years from uow you will judge the good cities from the ordinary ones by the principal (raved roads. Those on trunk Hues will be • favored as are those on the main lines of railway now. Looking ahead a few years you should grasp the importance of getting busy NOW and 1 keeping busy on the road projects. We can make our county by the right action in securing the routing of the main roads through our towns and cities. • The boys with air guns are causing considerable trouble just now and ittention is called to the fact that it is unlawful to use them in the city. Several reports have come in where people have been st|’uck by stray shots from the air guns and it's dangerous. Yesterday a lad was shot in the eye and it is probable, according to physicians that he will lose Ills sight. Thats a terrible tiling and should be sufficient cause to make every parent warn the boys about using the guns about town. Berne will entertain the bankers from several counties iu this section of the state this evening and it is assured in advance that the occasion will be a happy one as well as a very important one. The get together sp'rit of the bankers is one worth following in other lines and many matters of great interest to them as well as to the communities they represent are discussed. Berne is tiecoming famous for her hospitality and her ability to entertain visitors and this meeting we predict will be one of the best in the history of the group organization. Its time to act if county wQUId gain the greatest benefit from the state highways. It is now pro-1 posed to build the east Indiana trunk line through this county but as surveyed it will miss every town in tile county, passing west of Decatur three miles and linking up with theFort Wayne read at the St. John's church seven miles north of here. It Will miss Monroe, Berne and Geneva,' by from a mile and a half to two miles. This trunk line will j>e hard. urfaced and will not interfere with • <he present sthte road which how-i ever will not be hard surfaced if present plans go through. We believe that immediate action should be taken to secure the greatest benefits and the way to do that is to first discuss and decide for ourselves just what that is. In the years to come it means much to any city to be (W a paved state road and business men and others interested can well afford to devote w hatever time is necessary to have this road located to best advantage. Don't sleep boys. It means much to the coming generations. For about a third of a century the Eric stockyards have stood where they are now and without any great objection from any one. Now it is proposed to move them and we do not blame those living iu that vicinity for their action, but it should be a sensible move. We don’t believe the signers of the petition have any desire to injure this community and it should be remembered that when this stockyard is removed there will be no place to care of live stock. During the past year more than a milton dollars worth of stock was shipped from this city and by some the estimate is twice that. One firm shipped more than half a million dollars worth of hogs, so is important that we first find some way to take care of this busniess. It is to be hoped that the council will keep this in mind and that there will be no necessity for those buying live stock to arrange with other towns for shipment. It is probable that at the meeting at the Industrial rooms tomorrow evening some definite time as to when the new yards can be built will be given and it will then be plenty of time to do away with any yards which prove a nuisance.
