WELCOME FIREMEN:— On behalf of the good people of this community we extend to the firemen of Northern Indiana and the officials of the forty or fifty towns and cities they represent and to their hundreds of friends, a sincere welcome. We are proud of Decatur and what she has accomplished the past years, proud of our county with her fine roads, splendid farms and beautiful homes, proud of our industries, our public buildings, our places of business and above all w’e are proud of our people - the most united and harmonious in the nearly ninety years since settlement was made here. We want you to look us over, to offer friendly criticism, to accept our hos-. pitality and to enjoy yourself to the limit. If you don’t see what you want ask for it and if it is to be had, we assure you, you will get it. Tlie firemen are appreciated by the people whom they serve every day of every year. We know how little pay you get and how patriotic you are to offer your services and your safety and your best to saVe our property and our lives. Y'ours is a big job and your reward is only the knowledge of a necessary duty well performed. We are glad you have the Northern Indiana Association for it provides you a day, of reunion and happiness

" ■' l " s! r The state fair board Issues a stater, ment in reply to charges thut they used poor business judgment in selling the million dollar bond issue for * less than par. This statement says 0 that in selling the bonds for 97 cents g 0 they saved the tax payers $25,000. 5 We give up. There is no use arguing 0 against a crowd which is willing to d take it for granted that everybody in the state is a sucker and a dumbbell. The bonds were bought by Indianapolis trust companies who sold them before they were printed at sl.Ol and cleaned up LT In a district normally twenty ■ thousand or more republican, the third Michigan, where the democrats have no organization and usually f have trouble filling the election ’ boards. A. B. Williams, republican. > won yesterday in a race for congress i according to early report by less than - 400, and after a campaign made sole- - ly on national issues. That ought to show the wise birds how the winds , are blowing after a high tariff that doesn't protect and a few Lasker , trips and it is not likely to improve I with ago. Oh pshaw, the trip of President , Harding and his party across the country and to Alaska is twenty , miles short of the trip made by > President Taft who holds the belt up . to date. The party which left Washington today is scheduled to travel , 15,057 miles between now and the ! latter part of August. A little effort may yet add the twenty miles needed to establish a new mark for presidential tours. It must be accom- , plished. Henry Ford says he is not a candidate for president but would take it if the job was forced on him. Well now Henry there are a lot of fellows over the country who could probably be coaxed to assume the presidency but the American people are funny that way. They hardly ever plead { with any man to lead them. There i are too many good ones anxious | enough to go out after it. Remember folks of Adams county that the road problem for the next ten years is the biggest public question and that the best way to handle it is through an organization which acts quickly and effectively. Such a body might have the opportunity or several of them to save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars and keep old Adams and her towns on the map. Don't sleep. With some of the national speakers trying to prove how they saved millions and the others apologizing for the waste of Lasker’s Six Hun- ’ dred and other leaks, there is likely |i to be some amusing clashes of thought from the “brighter minds” during the next year or two. I Decorate your store and home to- ' morrow. Hang out the flags and ' bunting.

Moran of thfs city, over the company’s action in paying in full the amount of the accident and health policy carried by Judge Moran in this company. Yesterday Mr. A. N. Hepler, president of the company was ' in Decatur and a check for $5,000.00, | was given to Mrs. Moran, widow of the judge. Judge Moran disappeared April 19th and ten days later his body was found in the St. Mary's river. The corner's verdict was “acoidental death”. Takes a $5,000 Policy On the strength of the splendid settlement made by the company, proof that it is an insurance company worthy of the patronage of those who want protection, E. X. Ehinger, cashier of the Old Adams County Bank, took out a $5,000.00 policy with Mr. Hepler before the latter left for South Bend last evening. Os course the people of this community and hundreds of friends do no doubt for a minute but that Judge Moran met with accidental death, but as there is | no proof, it is not uncommon for in-

surunce companies to contest such eases and the action of the Income i Guarantee Company, of South Bend, places it on a high level with its patrons and the public in general and proves that they believe that Judge Moran’s death was caused by an accident. City Council Orders Tenth Street Paved (Continued from page one) Are Oiling Streets Work has started on the oiling of the macadam streets in Decatur, Ed L. Augenbaugh, street commissioner, informing the council that a light coat had been placed on three of the streets yesterday. Eight streets will be oiled as petitioned for and a double oiling will be given them. By resolution SBOO.OO was appropriated from the general fund with which to pay the cost of the oil and work connected with the oiling. The city as a whole is defraying the total expense connected with it. Object To The Smoke Property owners in the vicinity of the Fornax Mill filed a written remonstrance against the smoke coming from the stack of the mil! and the matter was referred to the board of safety. It was stated that Mr. Gillig, of the Fornax company, would repair! I the stack. Want Street Lights Property owners petitioned the I council for the erection of two arc lights on Winchester street in front of the William Lyon and Orval Leni hart residence. Want A Water Line J. Quandt, who is building a house north of Monroe street, along South Thirteenth street, petitioned that the water line be extended. He was given permission to make a tap, he to pay the expense of laying the line to his property. 'John Russel’s petition for an extension of the water line on Marshall street was disposed of in the same manner. Mr. Russel recently purchased the house owned by Miss Margaret Moran. | Notified To Make Repairs A. J. Smith and J. G. Niblick I
