Foreign Representative Carpenter Ai Company, 123 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, We will appreciate your renewal to the Daily Democrat this month. Its a small matter to you but with thirtyfive hundred on the list it’s a very Important matter to us,, Help us help the community. The annual meeting of tltn- Dr <atur industrial Association one wee) from tonight is important to every one who lives here. At this meeting plans for the coming year will be discussed and the election of a board of d'rectors to have charge will be a part of the program. Attend t Ilf meeting, take your part, help <lo the things that will make this the best year in the history of Decatur. We can have a tine road from this city north to the county line wilhii: a few months if we all work to that end during the next tew days, Its a wonderful opportunity to do something for the county and we shook not permit t to pass. If We do ii nuiy be some time before we get another opportunity. If you are called upon to help in this enterprise de your best. Efforts to increase the gasoline tax to three cents a gallon and place r ( tax of five cents a quart on autopio bile oil are now being made. Oik representative, it is said, will ask sot a ten cent tax on gasoline and will advocate that the state highway commission take over all roads in th* stale. Indiana is making an enviablr record in road building and unlike many states, is paying as she goes but there s a limit even for road ami school purposes and those who have the power to raise money should re member that whatever contracts the; make means the raising of money some way from the people. Whether we pay the tax directly or in buying gas or oil makes little difference, lb a good time to be careful. "" 11 The state of Indiana borrowec $3,590,000 last week to refund a part of the floating debt. Remember that two years ago they told us that the 1 gasoline tax would more than take ' care of every thing? Ilsa line thing to remember these unfulfilled promise: as the 11125 legislature will con- 1 vi ne Thursday of this week. Instead ’ of planting to lake care of this in debledness those in charge are using * every method in advance to get larger appropriations. They talk of a reduction of taxes hut we will never 1 have it so long as we spend money recklessly and the members of the bgi lalure will have to sit light on the lid or we will have a hard time of it the next two years. Ih< Daily Democrat is now c< mpie’lng the twenty second year of terving Um people of Adamu county.

Face to Face With / . Col. William N. Haskell Head of the American Relief Administration i » There never has been a record ot J a nation's generosity comparable to j that of what the American Relief ; Administration provided a few years 1 ago for starving Russia. The man 1 in charge of this work, Col. William 1 N. Haskell I'. 8. A., under the lead--1 ership of Hon. Herbert Hoover, saved ten million people from starvation. Over fifty million dollars were expended by America during those trying winters following the war—to save human lives. Whether at his desk in Moscow I directing a gigantic movement of, food supplies from America to Riga.' from the Baltic to the Caucasus,! from Siberia to the Black Sea or at, his desk at Broadway, New York. Colonel Haskell has proven the qualities of an executive who delivers. The staff in Russia consisted of two hundred people, in all his early army experiences, from the time he graduated from West Point in 1901. reviewing his service in the Philip-1 pines and as colonel ot the "Irish Regiment,” Colonel Haskell insists that the most thrilling experiences of ' his life were in Russia. He won the Distkiguishedi Service Medal from he I'nited States for his work in the 1

Fourth Army Corps at the battle of St. Mihiel. He received not only the Legion or Honor of France, but the onspicuous Service Medal of New York State. As Allied High Coinmissioncr in America, clothing, feeding uid caring for practically the entire copulation, lie performed a task of Herculean proportions. This was lie beginning of perhaps the greatest humanitarian achievement in historyColonel Haskell does not approach tis work in a sentimental way. but f’lizt. the discipline and system of fficient army service. One of the ten who never fadniits failure, when hey told him he could not deliver he goods in Russia he engaged fliv•ers. mules, horses, sledges, even vheelbarrows. and carried the supplies across the frigid Russia space. Camels and even the backs of peasmts were used to deliver the goods n isolated villages. While comparatively a young man,

vill look after the renewal of your I nibscription this month and enable! is to plan for the year to a better 1 ; idvanUge. A community is largely nidged by its newspaper and the beter the paper the more it can do for 1 he community, its a splendid opporunity to pull together. Please re- j lew this month if you can. Having already committed itself to I he erection of a new reformatory he state will, of course, have to see :he project through. When the old institution was sold the argument was that the new one could be built with the proceeds. Yet with $3,026,155,79 already disbursed, the estimate of the superintendent is that $999,664 more is required, and the amount would be much higher had it not been planned Io have the prisoners do practically all the construction work, tn the end the state probably will have to spend $8 or more for every dollar obtained for the old institution. The needs of other benevolent and L'orrcctloual undertakings are, of course, assured of sympathetic consideration. but there ought to be uo repetition of the reformatory extravagance. Requests should be inquired into closely and whatever appropriations decided on must be made to produce equivalent results in service .—lpdiaiiapolis News. ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY • * ♦ • From the Dally Democrat filet ♦ * 20 yeara ago thia day « JO YEARS AGO TODAY Decatur stores are now closing at six o’clock except ou Saturday evenings.

i j k J y*' w Iff If L Jj : COL. WILLIAM N. HASKELL says:. “In both famine and battle the -fighting rules are much the same. 1 Keep your face to the fore and go straight ahead.” — Colonel Haskell has achieved much. His simple comment was: "In both famine and battle the 'fighting rules are much the same. Keep your face to the fore and go -straight ahead.” There was something in the firm, steady look he gave me at that time that indicated why he has never failed in carrying out an order that was given him. Extremely modest, he talks but little about his great job as Santa Clans in the trying days of 1923. Recent events have indicated that.

■ the seeds of Kindness and Helpfuj--1 ness sown by Americans in this work • in Russia two years ago has proven : that the mandate of mercy is more “'efficient than a mandate of muskets, f Through the Soviet lines are com- > ing stories of gratitude from the peoI! le who now know what American t idealism means. This encourages a | (ontinuation of a jiolicy of unlimited i generosity in time of need. With men like Colonel Haskell. America ’ stands ready for any great enier- ■ gency. Even the Soviet government in its most severe anathemas hurled ■ at capitalistic Europe and America rre beginning to see that the golden rule is a practical plan for bringing about which the followers cf the red flag have talked, and dreamed about, but have never dei livered in these later years of bloodshed which we still call times of , peace.

I’. Steury, Monroe town- * ':liip farmer, led the field in the December report <sf Roy Price, tester, with 85.9 pounds of butterfat for the month. "Lady" was fed an average of 28 younds silage. 14 pounds alfalfa hay and 12 pounds of grain mixture made up of 300 pounds corn. 200 pounds oats. 100 pvunds commercial feed and 100 pounds cotton-seed meal, each day. Mr. Price considers this a very unusual record. i Other high producing individual cows in the association ranked as follows: Goldie,” Holstein owned by :Jos. D. Schwartz, 68 lbs; "Rosy” owned by Dan D. Schwarttz, 66.2 lbs; j "Peachy,” owned by John D. Mason, 63.5; “Pearl.” owned by Jacob J. Schwartz, 60.7 lbs. The next highest producing cows were owned respectively by Sam D. Nussbaum .Joseph 1). Schwartz, Dan D. Schwartz, Burkhart I-ehman and Dan IL Habegger. Os the 213 cows in milk in the association, 107 produced one pound of | butterfat daily; 56 produced more than 40 lbs. butterfat during the | mouth; 18 produced more than 30 lbs. ' butterfat during the month and 6 j produced more than 2 pounds of butterfat each day. C. P. Steury also had high producing bord. bis five cows averaging 49 pounds fat for the mouth, taking the lead from Jacob J. Schwartz, who had high herd during October and November. During the month of December, 5, unprofitable cows were disposed of by members of the mtsoeiation while I purebred cow was purchased by a member. Mr. Price reports that the rations fed by the farmers are gradually improving each member feeding a fairly good grain ration during the mouth aud almost all of them feeding silage and legume hay. He states that the progressive dairymen are begiuuing to realize that a good grain ration, corn silage aud goo soybean, alfalfa or clover hay are necessary for high, economical production. — ——o Mrs. H.
