This was gift day in Decatur and the people came and enjoyed it and trailed and it was a good thing for every one. These are ideal winter days, the snow adding to the appearances and so long as the man in charge keeps •the mercury hovering around freezing, we will nut complain. Dollar corn in six months from now will be tine for the speculators ami those who have large ware houses tilled with the product bought at a low figure but it won’t be of much good to the average farmer who has disposed of his crop to keep things moving. A young man at Indianapolis had the toothache, tried to pour some carbolic acid into the cavity, spilled it over his face and shoulder and is now in the hospital. He will probably use nitro glycerine or TNT the next time. It works so much speedier.

The democrats have invited Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war and Bruce Kremers, of Montana, vicechairman of the democratic national committee to speak at their editorial banquet, at Indianapolis. February 11th and 12th and the republicans have invited President Coolidge and Treasurer Mellon to headline their meeting on January 29th. laioks like the boys may be trying to start something. ,Members of the health board lire Dr. King; Governor Jackson tires the members of the health board; all of them tell each other to "run and jump in the lake,” and the war goes mlrrily on. Unfortunately while a state organization is doing this they are not of great benefit to the people of the state who pay their bills and so it may just a- well if the entire "pack" eat themselves up, so we can start over. The long advertised pccial fortnight of church services in Decatur starts tomorrow as has been announced from time to time Its success depends upon you folks who advocate and believe that the ehurch is a worth while institution. The pastors and many of their earnest assistants will do all they can. have prepared for the event; and wil| with your help, create an interest in ehurch affairs which will make the two weeks a real success. Big business anticipates a great year and those in charge seem to have settled down to th c idea that this can go on and that the farmer must, realize he is just a "plug’’ who must i,reduce for the smart fellows in the east to profit by. Os course it isn’t true and won't work perpetually but the farmer is a good citizen who wishes to see his country go on in a prosperous way and who will continue to hope and pray and work and who will some time perhaps come into his own.

On essential points concerning the condition of agriculture and the im- . porta nee of bringing about an improvement, the farmers of Indiana are in substantial agreement with the farmers of other states. They believe that, as far us relief may be provided by the federal government on a sound economic basis, the government should act promptly and comprehensively. They believe, further, that there is no conflict be-, tween that stand and the demand that legislation be enacted to facilitate the separation of surpluses from cur rent home and export demands, so that the protective system may apply to them as it now applies to manufactured products- Resolutions tc that effect adopted by the board of directors of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation are in accord with sentiment revealed in addresses al the

But this I'd learn, before life ends, Only a friendly man has friends. This life is easy!

SEEK $500,000 EOS STATE FAIR State Board Os Agriculture Urges Big Sum For Building Program |A plea for a $500,000 appropriation to carry out the building program of the state board of agriculture, was made by Lin Wilson, presi-, dent of the board. In his address before the delegate conference | Wednesday in the house of representatives at the State house. Iht necessity of a new building to house the poultry exhibits and a new grand stand on the fair ground, was said by the speaker to be pressing. Mr. Wilson also urged that the future building program includes plans for the erection of a gateway to the groun dthat would rank in. architecture with the new buildings. - Money Campaign Urged Mr. Wilson ’ said plans should be made at once to go before the 1927 legislature and ask for a special appropriation to meet the demands for th,e new structure. The mill levy and other revenues of the state board are insufficient, he said, for the erection of these buildings, and stii) -sheet the interest and principal on the present indebtedness of the board.

Eight members were unanimously re-elected at the conference, which was said to be the only conference in the history of the board at which there | was not a contest for the offices. The .members re-elected are: 8. W. Taylor, Boonville; Guy Cantwell, Gosport; R. C. Jenkins, Orleans; E. D, Logsdon. Indianapolis; Thomas Grant, Ix>«ell; U. C. Brouse. Kendallville and Levi P. Moore, Rochester. I Governor Ed Jackson welcomed the delegates in a brief address I praising the sincerity, efficiency and accomplishments of the hoard and its executive officers. He pointed out the educational benefits of state and county fairs and urged the delegates to do all in their power to keep the fairs in the state clean and of high standard.

Barker, sec-retary-treasurer, was retained. Guy Cantwell, of Gosport, was elected vicepresident. Mr. Barker emphasized the importance of starting a reserve fund to retire the building and loan bonds as

they mature in larrger quantities in the future. He explained how the interest of more than $44,600 on the loan and $25,000 of the bond principal had been met in the year, and how the balance of $58,578.81 should be reserved to meet the large financial obligations that the board will face in the future. Te also spoke of I the entire harmony which has marked the activities of the board. Serve Two-Year Terms The board of directors of the state agricultural department is composed of sixteen members, one from each congressional district, and three appointed by the Governor.
