Foreign Representative Carpentier A Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago. The weather may be a little snappy for you today but its just about right after all for we thus dodge the possibility of being swept over into Ohio by a wind storm. We hope you vote next Tuesday, ft will show the right feeling towards your community. Select your candidates according to your own best judgment but vote. That's the big thing. Take an interest in affairs of Decatur. L -J.J Thirty-three Cincinnati police of fleers, convicted of grafting from and with bootleggers today entered fed oral prison at Atlanta where they will have ample time to consider serious ly whether the petty sums they ob tained by selling their honor, was worth while. Mrs. Lula Peters, speaking at the League of Pen Women at Washington advocates a special tax on fat people, declaring it unnecessary to be fat and dangerous. She says thousands ol people die each year because they are 100 fat and that the tax would mak» people reduce. It’s another ease ot "making" which doesn't appeal ft the average person who feels if hr wants to dig his grave with his knif< and fork he has the right a san Amer Scan citizen to do it. When Mr. Williamson arrives here to get ready for the big Northern Indiana fair, tell him you are for him and mean it. He is a real fait man, who bdlieves in making agri< ul lure the biggest part of the county show mid who will if properly sup, ported make the event of 1925 a worth z.ens in general can assist hint trno iftcr all it means more to us us i community that we have a great fail than it does to-Mr. Williamson or any one else. A young man mimed Noble win. lias been employed in Fort Wayne stores for a dozen years, robbed Nr{ employers safe Sunday and then re ported a robbery to the police short ly after opening the store Monday morning. His story looked ratliet iiimsiiil Io the police and after a four hour grilling the young man confessed. How silly? This man who has a wife and two babies lias not only dis graced himself and placed a burden upon liis family but has fixed things so lie will never be able to have the confidence of the people. It was an' expensive effort at bad busincsa.
