The shrubbery is the gift of Rev. L. W. Luckey of New York City and within a few years the green foilage will enhance the beauty of the court house square. Let everyone make it a point to see that these plants are protected and given a chan Today comes the fight for blood The Pittsburgh Pira'es tied the world series standing with the Washington Senators yesterday and today the final and decisive game will be played. To the winners will go the world'? championship pennant and the fans of both teams are wagering and figur ing out how their favorite will do the trick. Baseball is a great sport and the world series always causes a great j deal of excitem' The friends and admirers of Senator Samuel M. Ralston are hoping 1 and praying for his recovery. Senator Ralston is critically ill at his 1 home and little hope is extended for' hiS recovery.- His death will remove! one of the tine characters, a peaceful and lovable man from Hoosier politics and at the same-time leave vacant a seat in the United States Senate which he has tilled with credit. Os all the fooHsh. ridiculous and z * insane things which young fellows now a-days are prone to do. the latest has come to light in Fort Wayne. • It has been proven, after much investigating and discounting of the first rumors, that several boys became intoxicated after drinking the “drain lags’’ from the gasoline filling pumps at the service stations. It is reported that several boys went to school intoxicated with "gas" and an investigat.on is being made. The beys are foolish or crazy to jeopardiae their health in that way and a good sound spanking from indignant parents might help to straighten them A The city tax rate has been reduced, the municipal plant is making money and paying for the improvements out of its earnings, extra equipment has been added to the fire department, additional men have been placed on the police force, ornamental lights have been installed and in fact Decatur has forged ahead within the last four years. This is something to think about when you go to vote next November and also remember that among the democratic candidates feu city office are men who have helped ?» this spiemlid program, it's to yout iaterest to see that they are elected to office. One by one the verterans of th< Cbril War are being mustered inti higher service. Sam Henry Post

Weather Is Big Help To Record Corn Crop biggest corn crop m a -quarter of a '•entary. 2®5.90*>.W0 bushels, has been given another boost by the weather of the past month aad is showing up even better than it did Sept. 1. according to the monthly crop report issue*! today by Miner M. Justin, agrieulture statistician for the V- S. Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment Station of Purdue Univeisity. The yield promises to be 42.2 bushels per acre, and total outturn about it per cent more than the crop of 1524. * The breaking of the drouth in the southwest aiul northwest sections brought more optimistic reports from these districts, though the rains came too late to be of any actual help to the crop. Winds which accompanied the rains in the southwest part of the state hlew down much corn and some rotting is tegred with continuatioa of the wet weather. The yield of oats as finally reported is about as expected last month but higher than earlier estimates. The 38 baskets estimated are-age is six bushels below the 1« years average and 10 ’bushels below the yield of »34. Potatoes and sweet potatoes show little change and because of a poor seaosn all the way throcghjrill y.eld but a two-thirds crop. Pasture improvement following the 1 September rains served to relieve the ' hay shortage to some extent, and the I yield of Hme bay is a ieatk of a lua (higher than expelled hut still below | normal with an average yield of S 4 t tons this year for clover hay against . i 47 tons last year and the average i for ten years of 1.33 tons Similar figures for timothy are: ibis year. T 3; last year. 1.38 and ten year average of 1.28. Alfalfa has made nearly an average crop yielding 2.32 tons per acre compared with 2.29 tons last year and an average of 8.4® tons for the ten years.
