That's some relief. Most of ’em have clung to pumpkin. The old fashioned bar tender used to smile and say "Name your poison, gents.” It was a joke then but now if a fellow says that to you from behind a bar you can just about bet, he means it. Buy a home. You can get one now at less than cost and it’s a good time to do it. You will be better off and the city in which most people own their homes is always far ahead of the i best. Think you are having a hard time. Well it could be worse. It has been discovered that the bones of a full grown whale weigh twenty-five tons. Now what if you were a whale and had the rheumatism? Then you could complain. Decatur needs new tire fighting a]>an engine, ladders, all the -equipment necessary with which to fight fires. It’s not fair to ask men to enlist ti a fire department and , then not provide them with the pro- ) per facilities with which to do that. , Its enough that they risk their lives . and their health. Lets do it before I we suffer a terr’ble loss by fire. ! While they are looking around for 1 gubernatorial timber, we would like 1 to suggest that Thurman Gottschalk, of Berne, who represented this district in the legislature and made a splendid record, fighting for the peo- - pic, would measure up. He has the 1 ability, is the right age, is honest to a fault and would make a splendid executive. Many of his friends and , admirers over the state are urging : him to enter the race. If he docs, just watch him step. Being governor evidently does not 1 give a man any privileges not accorded to every citizen. Mr. McCray ( seems to have thought it did but he ( is going through more kinds of trouble than Mr. Hinz had pickles a few 1 years ago. Every week wo hear of ’ some bubble bursting and usually the . results are due to the foolish idea of , some who thought he could put something over. The thing goes ob until it comes time to pay—and there is always a pay day—and i then up goes the balloon. News is the unusual! If the sun' I shines in the daytime, that isn’t news. If the moon conies out at 1 noontime, that would be NEWS! If the cashier at the bank takes care

of the money, that isn’t news; if he runs off with the money, that’s news! If a man gets along with his wife, that isn’t news; if he runs away from his wife, that's news! If he . runs away with some other fellow's wife, then that's more news; The • newspapers feature the unusual, the I abnormal, the out of the ordinary, the exceptional. The very fact that they feature crime, divorce, and scandal, shows that these things have not bei|come common and ordinary—yet.— I Mid-West Review. « ■■■ I There is considerable talki here I just now concerning the organisation of a golf course and a country club. Fine. The average business man gets too little exercise and too little air. He plugs through the day and at night grunts around the house. He will live ten years longer and be happier if he will spend a couple of hours walking over a golf course I whether it looks silly or not. Os. course there are other ways to get the same results, working in the garden, mowing the lawn, sweeping the walks, etc., but the trouble is he won’t do it consistently and for some reason or other which we have never understood, he will play golf, likes it and keeps at it. We hope the country club project is carried out. We think you fellows need the exercise. o Much Gccd in Laughter. Always laugh when you can. It Is cheap medicine. Thackeray said: “A I good laugh is sunshine in the bouse." Merriment is the sunny side of ex- | istor.ee. Laughter is n constructive I force w hich buoys tip your spirits and | helps you to achieve results. URGES FARMER TO FEED SOYBEANS County Agent Says Farmer Cannot Afford To Sell Crops At Low Price. By County Agent Busche Although a number of agencies, including seed houses are now attempting to engage soy beans from farmers at prices ranging from $1.25 to $1.35 per bushel, farmers cannot afford to sell them at such prices, in view of the cost of tankage, oil meal and cotton seed meal, for all of which the soybean makes an admirable substitute. According to feeding tests which have been made at Purdue during the last several months soybeans are worth $1.50 per bushel when used as a substitute for tankage, the latter being taken as worth $65 per ton. Os course the 10-10-1 mineral mixture of wood ashes, acid phosphate and salt was used to give the beans their full value. As usual, it was found that corn alone made much lower and more expensive gains than either of the other two rations where corn and tankage or corn, soybeans and minerals were used. In no case should an attempt be made to fatten hogs on corn and soybeans, either threshed or on the stats without the use of minerel mixture given, above, since the full value oi the beans will not be realized unless the mineral is used. Purdue’s tests also show that soybeans substitute pound-for-pound in the case of either cotton seed meal or oil meal, making them valuable in
