This is the last week for candidates to flic tor the city campaign and if you arc seriously considering offering your services to the people of Decatur, its high time to be doing it. A little touch today, just to remind you that you musn't go to fast With that spring garden and that it may boa little early to depend entirely on B. V. D.'s. General Dawes has not been hoard from for three or four weeks, since ttis memorable drive from his hotel to the capitol where he arrived A moment too late to cast the deciding vote for approval of an attorney genera). The episode seems to have taken the wind out of him. The new garnishee law in Indiana pr<o ides that when an execution is obtained in proper and legal manner, wngi*s of employes may lie tal.cn at the rate of ten per ceut. a month.
Efforts to secure a law of this kind has extended over a period of a quarter century and was finally passed this year. The fund for the cyclone victims continues to grow here and we art sure .this county will gladly meet their full quota in this work of helping those who suffered. Such a spirit always brings good returns. A stingy man shows it on his face and it spoils his looks just like a frown aud a bad disposition spoils the appearance of many. A smile always helps and you can smile easier when you are helping others who need it. The Decatur Industrial Association will meet tonight and President Burk will offer several snggos.i.ions of things to be done for the benefit of the com munity. If you arc interested in seeing this community go forward you should be there. Perhaps you may have just thf suggestion needed to arouse the proper interest and to help along the good cause of making this a better city and county. You can well afford to spend an hour or two with your neighbors any way in talking over plaus. Remember that it takes the united effort of all our people to really do things. Bo there tonight.
iiiii' of ’he laws of tlm recent legislature provides that when tm new graves have been made in a cemetery for thirty years, the ground may by proper proceedure by the city conn(ii i>o converted into a park. Decatur has such a problem and it is be lieved the uew statute will help to solve it. We hope the question will b< tak'ii up as toon as it. can Im. fur a six months notice must be given end II w ill bo next winter before work can start any way. We know that a certain amount of sentimeut is a tine thing but believe 100 that city pride should have a part iu disposing of old discarded cemeteries tor there is uo argument that a dis coded am! neglected cemetery is about the urnst desolate eyesore a town can hate, beta convert it into a park, that will not only be attractive but will furnish pleasure to our people. We are sure it v ill b« ut"re satisfactory even to those who have od one , interred there than the present ill-kept cemetery.

In all other linos of endeavor, industrial. school, social and business lines, new programs and new plans luive been used but what of the church? There is no doubt that we need a program of effort if we are to continue •he Christian nation wtiich has advanced so rapidly. The "jazz, era" will pass one of these days but not until it lias been met in some manner by the churches and by those who believe in them. Drop info any of

Greenhouse Tomato Superior in FlavoPicked Unripe to Save Con sumer Undue Loss. (f’r»rnr».l by thy United Rtatea Departin’"' of Agriculture.» Greenhouse timmloes rlpenetl on Hit vino uro superior in flavor to those grown outdoors in warm seettims, find flicked unripe in order to got them t" tlu> distant consumer without undm tops, the l nlted States Department of Agriculture finds In Its study of green house tomatoes, Just issued ns Farmers' Bulletin 1413. Tomatoes marketed during the winter and early spring month’ when prices are high are usunlly served ns a Salad or as an ingredient of a ’tilad. Thus a comparatively small quantity Is enough for several persons, making the tomato as economical to the housewife as other available salad crops. The greenhouse owner must make a large Investment In houses and equip ment, and he must be prepared to spend large sums for the maintenance of conditions suitable for this exact Ing crop, says the department. On the other hand, a grower 2,000 fit more miles from the markets must spend large sums for picking, packing, trans portatiou, and handling before his crop inn be realized upon. The products of property located greenhouse ranges where fuel, labor, and other essentials can be obtained economically are usually able to compete sui'ceesfnliy with tomatoes grown at distant points out of doors. The vegetable-forcing Industry Is increasing in Importknee, and the tomato is receiving its full share of atteniion. Copies of the bulletin can be had free, as long as the supply lasts, by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Two New Oat Varieties of Excellent Qualities Two new ent varieties. Keystone ind I’atterson, promise to be the best Pennsylvania grain gtynvers have yet had, If yields to date are any indication 'of their abilities. Both varieties were ideveloped at the Pennsylvania State ‘college experiment station where the; have averaged for the past ten years nenrl.v ten bushels per acre more than sixty Day. an early variety, according to F. Noll, experimental agronomist of the station. These two varieties have been known in the past as 53-11 nml 63-11. I'he former hn« now been named Keystone, for the state "here originated. ;an<l the other is called Patterson, in honor of the late William Patterson, superintendent of the college farm for many years. In many other parts of the state these varieties have been grown in demonstration plots for several years with very satisfactory yields. Approximately eleven hundred acres of the two varieties were grown last year, so five or six thousand bushels of seed will ho available for distribution. The .demand was greater than the supply last spring. Noll reports. The two varieties are almost alike in height, in type of grain, and in yielding capacity, but Keystone is about two days earlier than Patterson. The grains are yellow and rather small. They have a thin hull and the percent ace of kernel in the grain Is usually higher than tn the larger-grained varieties "These nats .are best adapted to those sections of Pennsylvania where early oats do bekt.” says Noll. “Thera they have proved much superior to Sixty Day. or Kherson, the most commonly early grown variety." Value of Potatoes Potatoes contain more dry matter .and have a greater feeding value than any other vegejarble. Instead of ha--Ing 90 per cent water, the percentage usually ranges briween 70 and SO per .cent, the extremes being 65 and So per cent, according to figures given by Professor Fraser of Cornell in his book. "The Potato." Potatoes contain more dry matter thnn carrots, mangels or 'bagas. which have always been extensively used for feed. Cull All Grain Seed Cull your seed just as you cull your chickens and dairy cows, la the word crops extension specialists at thfc Ohio State university pass along to grain farmers. It is good policy to have crops grown from carefully ’elected seed because it pajs consistent dividends. Wheat should only bo grown from seed clean and free from weed seed and from one of the dozen vari>etles proved to be best.

It “works” because this Company is scientifically progressive—because it creates wealth, constructs, builds. It ‘‘works" because this Company is inspired by the incentive to earn fair profits only, through honest, earnest and abundant service. When automobiles were few, small refining companies could produce all the gasoline and oils needed. Efficiency was not essential, for petroleum in all forms was a drug on the market. Now, wht?n the highways swarm with 175 f million cars, efficiency is imperative. Only an organization as great in purpose as it is vast in scope can hope to supply the demands made upon it for oil products. These millions of motorists want fuel — they need gasoline of standard, uniform quality. They expect to find it at every crossroad and at a low price. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has set for itself the job of supplying the gasoline and oils needed by these millions of motorists in the Middle West. No excuse for a delay here or a breakdown there ever is offered. Motorists never are told that they cannot have gasoline because the refineries cannot produce it, or the distribution system has failed to function. No matter what the drawbacks, the service of this Company “works" —year in and year out. No nation can hope to hold its own in our modern, highly complex civilization without a great industrial system, based on reasonable rewards for honest service. Only such a system develops great organizations—of which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is typical—which will work on the enormous scale required to the distinct advanb age of society.
