Well the old weather boy is keeping up his reputation for knowing his stuff. March came in like a lion and went out in a fery satisfactory lamblike manner. That advertising agency which is suing the national democratic committee may be called on to prove that in that particular instance advertising paid and if they check it up with election returns they lose easily. The Decatur Industrial Association held an interesting meeting last night ami will meet again in two weeks’ when they would like to have every citizen who wants to boost Decatur in attendance. Enthusiasm is what counts and it. comes easier when many take part. The Berne Red Cross with T. A. ■Cotlschaik as captain made a drive for cash for the cyclone fund and in a two days campaign raised $331.02. That’s the right spirit and the same effort with a corresponding result should bo made in every part of the county. The sum is about double that subscribed here, up to date and should inspire this community to do their part for those unfortunate people who have suffered, are suffering and will continue to suffer for months to come. The Decatur Industrial Association will support the farm clubs in every way possible, will assist in making the meeting here about the middle of April a real one for the farmers, will support tlm Advertising Association in their endeavors and will assist in securing street improvements. They can do much if you will help them. Join the organization, attend Hie meetings, offer your suggestions and wo will continue to’ have the best imall city in the country. It Is reported that several high powered salesmen have sold a number of sewing machines over this county at about SIOO and that the, purchasers arc just discovering that they could have bought as good a machine in various stores over the county for less than half the amount paid. In this day and age there is no excuse for any person being taken in by these "lightning rod" peddlers. Its e.-isy to find out just what you are buying aud what it is worth. Stock and grain prices tumbled on the Wall street exchange yesterday and a lot of fellows who bad made easy fortunes a month ar two ago, lost it and some with it. Fifty-eight stocks fell to now low marks and wheat Went off twelve cents a bushel. There was no appearent reason for it. other than that some of Hie gamblers are playing a different game. They buy and then force the market up and "hen it reaches the top they ell and then force it down. The avr ige foliow has a better cliutjcc in a three card monte game at the circus than be lias trying to beat the board of trade. Os course there is the added feature that all this effects business and prices of farm products and indirectly we all pay. The resignation of R 0. Jobcsoe as mayor of Gary caused a surprise
