When winter come h Well, It's here and lliose who moved us down south si% hundred miles can cover the orange trees and hurry back to go to old Indiana and the Wubuih. Seems old fashioned ami kind* nice to see the snow cove-red trees and watch your wife sweep the walks and every thing. The next real trouble for most of us Is to figure out whether we owe any income tax, make up the schedules and otherwise meet the demands of the federal government. No sooner will this be done than we can figure where we will borrow the money for the spring installment of local and state taxes. Gosh it's a hard old world. A reader of thia paper, inspired from the Interesting articles recently published wants Adams County Historical Assoc iatloti formed and t<-lls in a special article what they could do and why they ought to.

A thousand Indiana democrats will nwet In Indianapolis tonight and tomorrow to plan for the campaign.

They say that morning as the train stood near the Monroe street crossing and hundreds of people gazed with amazement, t|)o engineer stuck his head from the cab window and yelled.

DECATUR DAIRY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JANUARY T 1921

“Look out, I'm goin* to turn or around," and the crowd fell back a hundred feet. We can scarcely imagine just how they felt here that ’ morning. The impossible had been accomJdißhed. Since then has come the radio, the telephone, the automobile, the electric lines, the airoplane, tlie submarine and a thousand things which are as interesting hut none meant as muc|i as did that, first railway train which connected the north with the south. According to the report of Amos Fisher, fire chief of Decatur, the total losses by fire in this city the past year, was $22,851, over ten times tiiat of tlie year before. That excellent work was performed by tlie firemen is evidenced from tlie fad that the property on fire totalled $107,000. Tlie members of tile fire company are fearless men who know their business but It's hard to fight fire without the right kind of equipment and it’s very foolish to wait until we have n severe loss to secure the necessary i ■ i ■ — — ii

• fire fighting apparatus. It's much better to prevent then to tnoum the ■ loss. We need a new auto truck and a ladder wagon, new hose and other modern apparatus and- we hope the financial committee can figure out a means for securing these during the , year. A large number of our subscribers have made their New Year call at this office, renewed their subscription and received an Eversharp pencil as an More than that we promise them ami appreciation of their promptness, you a better paper the coming year. We will add several features and believe we can make the paper a welcome visit to your hme every week day this year. This year with a national and state election, with many interesting problems to solve, all th.local news items, court, markets, industrial, social and personals, you will want the paper. Don't put off renewing. Do it now. Sixty-five people died in Decatur

i last year and one hundred and tw.u . ty, nearly twice as many births were i reported in the auuu»> su® mar ’ r fIV . ,d by Dr. .1. M. MUler, city health of- . .fleer. That's quite n K IliD - but w ” t should make this such a fine city in . which to live that people will come here from other places, make a gee living and be happy. That would he a real growth and by the way we are sure if a census were taken now we would show a. splendid growth in pop xo-i-HE ou Milts 111 .he Slutter nt l.lglKlng sisiulsr.l" on MiidlMin s.reet Imiirovenirnl Notice Is hereby «•'«" ‘!’®' J.’t'v Common Council in »nd for the of Decatur, Indiana did on th« I»‘U day of December, adopt h pr< limlnary awessment roll In the luaifpi of lighting standards on Madison Street Improvements which incut isl on and along the follow inK route, to-v’lt: . j To he located and constructed <»nj the north side of Madlaon *d r *‘‘d’ ‘’[ so Id c ity, from Second street to rnlrd street in the City of Decatur. ln<l.
