Everybody wants a county fair with a good exhibit, plenty doing and crowds every day. it provides a big annual week o£ amusement for thousands who enjoy it. Now that the Indianapolis News is suporting Senator Watson while the ■ Star is opposing him, you may expect the oustate republican newspapers to refer to the latter as a democratic organ. If you think the spring is backward just remember that forty years ago this week the sleighing was excellent and no oats had been sown. Every spring seems backward because everyone is wishing for the good old summer time. Since Decatur was in the original "pork barrel” bill for $125,000 for a new postoffice building here, there ■will surely be some explanation if it is decided to omit the only county seat in the Eighth district which has not been given such a structure. Some of the faithful should take the matter up with the Washington authorities and find out whether we are on and if not, why not? The sugar factory deserves the support of the farmers. Its a splendid industry and one which provides an additional crop which can be j rotated to your advantage. If the | year is seasonable you can realize j more actual money from your beet i field than from any other portion of ! your farm. Telephone the plant in this city \and they will see that a field representative calls upon you at once. What became of Gerald Chapman's fortune? It is claimed that his share of the $2,400,000 New York mail robbery was more than a million and it is known he was “in” on other affairs the returns from which were in six figures. Since his arrest he has of course spent large sums of money but about it all is a mystery, the clearing of which would prove a bigger newspaper feature than was the breaking of his silence by Colonel House. Here’s a chance for a “live wire.” An organization is being made in •Indiana to do away with the automobile license and increase the gasoline tax. We are already paying a threecent gasoline tax, which is higher than any other state in the union with the exception of two or three. There’s a “nigger in the wood pile” you can safely bet though you may not see him. The present automobile license is not exorbitant in this state and there is danger if they start to increase tax it will soon become almost prohibitive to drive your car. According to the government reports there is a hold-over crop of a hundred million bushels of corn and the hold-over in wheat, rye and almost every crop is large. There is one crop, farmers, with which this does not occur and thats sugar beets. Your crop is taken each autumn under a infract and you are assured of securing returns if the crop materializes as it usually does. The hold overs this year will of course effect the prices next fail on the grains

The Richmond Item says there is much truth in the accusations of Senator Watson by his opponent. Claris Adams, explaining that Mr. Watson has been so busy keeping up his political machine that he has paid little attention to the farm sentiment and farm needs. The Indianapolis Times wants Senator Watson when he gets to going next week to tell the people just what law, cause or principle he has contributed, fostered or saved. The Indianapolis Star, supposed to be the republican party organ of the state, says “The senior senator's field forces are so busy trying to overtake that “bag of peanuts" idea that they have not got around to “sterile statesmanship” yet. It looks as though the opposition to Mr. Watson is really materializing and in a rather dangerous degree. These statistics hounds at Washington with nothing to do but figure it all out have announced that there are 479,000 less people living on the farms of America than a year ago. That would be startling were it not for the fact that the farm population is still 30,655,000, enough people to raise a lot of necessary products. According to the figures a few over two million people went from farms to towns and cities the past year while half that number moved from the cities back to the farm. A few years ago the ordinary man could perhaps earn more working in the city than on the farm but from now on it is quite likely that the same effort devoted to tilling the soil will bling more returns in cash and we are sure more average happiness. - o gBSSSSSKSBSSSSSSg X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY S X X From the Daily Democrat File K 57 Twenty Year* Ago Thle Day K X ;; X it m n it it it it it it it it it K it it April 7, 1906—Civic Improvement Society arranges for hauling garbage for ten cents per week, per resident.

The mqdern letter writing style Saves time and care an»l money. Your business man lacks space to file Epistles sail or funny; And when 1 write to Dick and Co., 1 waste no thought in levity. I ask them v. hat I wish to know Politely, but with brevity; But now and then with pen and ink For friends I honor greatly 1 like to tell them all 1 think And all that's happened li-teiy. 1 like to let luy phrases flow As though we were out walking. Two friends who'd fouud an hour or so To spend in idle talking. I like to wander here and there Wherever fancy leads me And gather something everywhere To interest him who reads me. I like to set a chuckle in To dull the edge of worry. And let him know as 1 begin That I'm not iu a burry.

And so 1 wander with my pen Wherever fancy takes it And fill my page with talk of men And life, and all that make it.
