Start this week to help your community by subscribing for stock in one of the local loan associations. You save money and you help some one to finance the building of a home. That, what Decatur needs to make her grow as we all want. The klan in Indiana is getting cut into as tribes as the Indians of a century ago. Now we have the Kakomos, the Muncies, the Indianaps, the South Benders and the Pocketeers from Evansville and at the head of each band seems to sit a politician. Have you an idea that you think will help this community during the year? Send it to France Conter, president of the Decatur Industrial Association. Co-operation is the best material we know of with which to build. Suggest .ymething and then help try it out. Walking down street this morning we noticed five cars stilt carrying 1925 license plates and we wondered why any person would take such a chance when it has been' announced time and time again that yesterday was the limit when this would be permitted. The tine you will have to pay if the officers nab you would more than pay the license fee. ( We are informed that more than twenty-six hundred automobile owners in tlie county have secured their licenses through the local branch and ’ll is likely that four hundred others have secured them elsewhere. While this leaves quite a number unaccounted for. the number is considerably ahead of this time year, so perhaps “everything's goin’ to be alright." We arc in the midst of basketball and there is no reason why you •should not be thrilled Friday evening of this week if you are around here. Three big games are on the schedule that night. Decatur high will meet Columbia City at the auditorium; the Commodores will clash with their old rivals, Fort Wayne Catholic High at St. Joseph and the Kirkland lads will meet Lancaster, one of the strong Wells county fives at the old gym. Take your choice and yell for the home team. It will do you good. A high school bey out in Kansas has ma<lc 5536.71 on a flock of sheep he raised, and besides that, allowed himself modest wages for his own work. That boy will succeed in business and there's no reason why a million other lads should not be doing likewise. You don't hav L . to engage in the sheep business but you can do it witli corn, sugar beets, hogs, cattle, or most any kind of production. You can do it boys by devoting your spare time to honest effort, by working at something with something in view. Are you a member of one of Hie local loan associations? That's the best way we know of for you to show that you are public spirited and really in earnest a bun I seeing Decatur grow. We actually know ot twenty or thirty people wlio wish to build early iu the spring and we know a number ol them have already completed plant to do sch By pooling our funds it pne of the foan associations we make it possible for them to finance tin proposition and that helps every one A building caiafgigij it a hue thing for a community for that means bus

You can't afford not to do your bit when you can do it by placing a few dollars per month In a safe Investment, managed by home men for the good of the entire con)- . ’munity, now can you? Don't put it . off longer. Start this week. it , means a saving and u help. Just as we expected, R. A. Crosby, division federal* chief, has issued an . 'order from his offices at Fort Wayne that all income tax blanks must be tiled with the revenue office before March 15th. They will be held there until th c new rates are fixed by congress when you will be notified as to 'how much you owe. Married persons or heads ot families with an income of $2,500 or more and single persons .with an income of SI,OOO or in excess of that amount must file. And Mr. Crosby adds in his notice that the sam e rule for filing will apply to the zone offices of the department at De<catur. Bluffton, Wabash, Peru. Angola and other cities in this territory. So there you have it. While the law may be changed considerably, the safe way is to be ready to file when the blanks arrive as they probably 'will within a few days. o — SXSKKSB3KKSSSKKKKS K K « TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K B K 14 From the Daily Democrat File 55 :: Twenty Years Ago Thia Day 8 « K 383XK88K8&K8K8 K X X February 16. 1906 —Commercial club committee reports favorable on finani cial condition of Fort Wayne & Springfield railway at this time.

FOR EVER

Forever is a long time, the life of moon anti stars, A longic life than churches know, or prison gates and bars. And I have vowed to love her, forever and a day, A vow that knows no changing x>r crumbling or decay. I Forever is a long time, the life of sea aud tide, No calendar can mark it, no seasons can divide.

All Foreign Shippers Asked To Use Excelsior As A Health Measure Washington. Feb. 16. — (United Press)—The Department of Agriculture has enlisted the aid of diplomatic officers abroad in its effort to eradi- ' cate the foot-and-moujh disease, according to Dr. John 11. Mohler, chief so tlie Bureau of Animal Industry. At the request of tlie Department of Agriculture, Mohler said consular of- ' fleers abroad are getting people in foreign countries to substitute excelsior and paper for hay and straw as packing material. This action, he said, is relieving the danger of importation of the disease to a great extent. Through inspections last year the department condemned 298,000 animals and carcasses together with 1.294,000 parts of carcasses on account, og 42 diseases or conditions and removed them from tiie food supply. Approximately 33,175,000 pounds of foreign meat were inspected and passed tor entry and 91,680 pounds were condemned or refused entry because of insufficient evidence of wholsomeness. I. QFlorida Fishermen Fish For Diamonds Palm Beach, Fla.. Feb. 16—(United .

Dick of Chicago to Mrs. Dick. A hungry barracuda is believed to have run off with the diamonds when j Mrs. Dick dropped them otefboard t as she stepped from her yacht the ‘‘Chieftain’’ upon her arrival here recently. r Divers were sent down to the boto tom which is sandy and firm and a strong search lights were turned on the water at night, but the search

was futile. Seasoned fishermen Lave advanced the theory that a hungry barracuda pounced upon the diamonds as they would very likely attract his eye. Consequently there has been considerable fishing in the vicinity, since the loss was reported. o--“BOOTLEG BEAUTY SHOPS" RAIDED IN KANSAS CITY Kansas City, Kans., Feb. 16. — (United Press) —The police of this ■ place have started a drive against “bootleg beauty parlors."
