How many of the new year resolutions have you cracked? There are seven women in the New Jersey legislature this year and the cigar stand has added a number of accessories. A cur traveling thirty miles an hour goes forty-four feet in a second. No wonder we land in the corn field when she skids while we’re going fifty or sixty, Sidney Smith says he is convinced that digestion is the great secret of life and that character, talents, virtues and qualities are powerfully affected by beef, mutton, pie crust and rich soups. Think it over. Warsaw, South Bend and other northern Indiana cities report serious smallpox expidemics and the disease this year seems to be more severe than for some time. Health officers are urged to be on the outlook for the disease in this county and to take immediate and drastic action in stamping out any signs of it. If they keep on filing charges against Dr. King, secretary of the state health board, that distinguished individual is likely to feel that some one around the state house doesn’t want him to serve. However, so. long as the complaints come only from that quarter the doctor doesn’t need

to care much. A hundred new homes should be . built in Decatur this year and this j can be done if we will awaken to the , fact that right now is the time to do It. Values are better than a few | years ago ami the demand is greater. 1 The money to build can be secured and there is no reason why you should not own your own home or build another one to rent. If you are for Decatur, build a home. i I George K. Denton, former congress- j man from the first district, who was ; defeated by one vote for judge of the supreme court in the last election and who had announced his candidacy for the United States senatorship, j died of heart trouble yesterday at Evansville wher e he resided. He was a man of excellent ability and his 1 death removes another outstanding figure of the southern part of the state. , The church meetings open next Sunday and continue two weeks. Every one is requested to attend and < to assist in making the revival one of real benefit to the community. I Surely we can spare a couple of hours a day for two weeks out of the year to show appreciation of the effort made by those who work at this all the year. You believe churches ure a benefit to the city, then you ought to support them. Charles E. Magley has been reelected county road superintendent by tlje county commissioners and will havU charge of this big and important job the coming four years. He has liad the experience, knows his duties and is well prepared to give the county excellent service if given the proper support. The roads belong to all of us and we have paid for them by the expenditure of several million dollars. We should all feel it our duty to assist in every way we can to maintain them, which means we should not haul heavy loads over them when the weather is bad nor

Predictions of good times have worn out to a large extent and most people would like to see some real financial prosperity, some dollar and cents returns.

PARTY IEADERS PL ANN! NG FIGHTS Major Parties Begin Laying Plans For Elections Next November Indianapolis, Jun. '• — ' 1 Press)—lndiana political b both the major parties today began rounding out their plans for the H. i which will end in the elect.ons to •• held November 2, when ni*< States Senators, thirteen Cougressional representatives, numerous state am (county officers will be elected. I With the first official move in the fight coming in May. the party 1 are concentrating on bringing out th strongest candidates who. if nominated. are sure to appeal to the ma- ®* the voters. In the Republican party, .Senators James E Watson and Arthur Robinson are avowed candidates for re nomination and re-election. While there has been much talk *** opposition to these two. none of this talk has materialized to date. One rumor has it that Ex-Senator Albert Beveridge will oppose Watson, while Warren Fairbanks "ill s ' ’’k Robinson’s toga. While the state organizations of neither party will take an active part in the primary, it is known that, should thees two men make the race, they undoubtedly will have the support of some of the strongest newspapers in the state. In the Democratic ranks, Evans Woollen, Indianapolis banker, is already an avowed candidate for tinshort term office. Woollen is said to stand high in the estimation of the national leaders and indications are that the national leaders will do everything In their power to obtain the nomination for him. Woollen, himself, has announced that he will make no personal campaign for the nomination, but should he b ■ selected as the candidate, that he will devote all of his time to seeking election. Talk concerning the real campaign directors —the state and district chairmen —so far has been limited. There is every reason to believe that Clyde Walb and the entire present state Republican organization will be re-elected. In the Democratic ranks, it is understood that Walter S. Chamber, of Newcastle, present state chairman does not wish the post again. In view of this fact, several party workers, including Frank Baker, of Indianapolis; Walter Henrick, of Crawfordsville and Eugene Crowe, of Bedford, are mentioned for the post. o— Arcadia — Col. Loe Sowers, local theater owner says it doesn't pay to shake a furnace too well. Lee shook his and as a result the grates fell on him. smashing three fingers.
