April 16 h is the final day’ of the’ campaign we arc making for renewal of subscriptions. Won't you arrange to come in before? The girls at Smith college are now smoking briar pipes, according to news stories, but so far none of the young ladies have taken to chewing J. T. We may not be at war with China but we are very close to it certainly when the news reports tell of the number killed and wounded. War is war even under any other name. While there is a general feeling that farm machinery has not been moving recently, this is contradicted by the fact that the annual farm report of the International Harvester Company shows a net profit for last year of over $22,000,000. They must have sold some goods. A sensible building campaign in Decatur would be the best reviver of business that could be indulged in and it is not impossible. We were informed again today of another well known citizen who is seriously contemplating the erection of three or four houses. A stir of this kind is a great thing at any time and would be even more helpful now than any other period. I Bandits held up Cashier Lybarger and his wife at the Bank of Linn Grove yesterday and helped themselves to a couple of thousand dollars in cash, climbed in their car and drove away. They handled their guns reeky lessly and its perhaps lucky for Mr. amt Mrs, Lybarger that they escaped with their lives. Ye’ there are those who become sentimental when such culprits are'brought to justice. They ought to, if captured, be sent up for life and feel they are lucky to get off with punishment that light. Roy Haynes, of Ohio, has been appointed commissioner of prohibition by Secretary Mellon and lie will thus be given another opportunity to show his ability in that line. He w ill however be under Lincoln C. Andrews, who as assistant secretary of the treasury will continue. Haynes formerly held the job of national enforcement officer until Andrews was given control and while it was claimed he had not made good the demand from all over the country, among the drys, was that he be named for this job. Efforts have been made the past day or two to revive interest in the chuutauqua but there seems to be but little enthusiasm either among the people or the members of the community. While there are a mfmber who state thdir belief in such away, few of them are willing to do the work necessary to insure success of such an event. Decatur has held chautauquas for many years and there is no doubt that the programs have delighted many. During recent years however there has apparently been a cheapening of the features while at the same time the people are harder to ptbase. Many feel that a season or two without such ait event would be a good thing. No pensions can be paid by the government until Jtfly Ist because of the filibuster during the final days of the senate and which prevented the passage of a deficiency bill. The

filibuster was a republican scheme to ’ prevent Senator Reed, of Missouri, securing funds with which to recount the Pennsylvania election ballots. The .Fort Wayne News-Sentinel and other republican papers are trying to unload the responsibility but they I 1 certainly won’t get far for it is well 1 known that their political party is iu J control of both branches of congress ’ and of tile national administration to ! a man. The sad part of it is that Civil J war veterans are dying at the rate of , 4,000 a- month and many of these old 1 heroes will not live to draw their I i vouchers and which in case of their 1 death will not be paid. Now they are into another mess at Indianapolis. It has been discovered that two paragraphs in the appropri-] ation bill were changed by some one. The items stricken out provided for the governing of expenditures for the Butlerville colony for feeble minded and the Fort Wayne school for feeble minded and for funds for paying the expenses of the Dearth impeachment. Tm-se were duly passed by the house and senate but do not appear iu the bill which was signed by the governor. Jackson, it is claimed was opposed to both of these measures. The senate now in session on the impeachment case appointed a committee to confer with the governor and served notice on the state auditor not to make any disbursements on the appropriation bill. A special session may be required to straighten thevnatter out. Gosh all hemlock, what an outfit. Are you discouraged by failure? Then you will fail. Most of the little failures and little successes are unimportant skirmishes in the battle of life. They are the maneuvering, the testing of the opposing lines, the finding of weak spots and strong spots. In the hour of skirmish lost, or in the zest of skirmish won, it is well to remember that the great battle is yet to be fought. The man who is striken in heart by the little defeats and the man who is palsied in mind by the little victories will be on a par when the teal test comes. Our little failures and little successes are about equally willing to serve us. They will be very useful if we will give them the chance. But if we accept either blindly, as the gift of fate and circumstance, we might as well quit the fight. The man who, in defeat, can put his finger on the cause of his defeat —the where, and why, the how of it—is already well on the road to ultimate victory. And the man who, in victory, knows and ..wherefore, will win again and more gloriously.—Lebanon Reporter. o .— *• + ♦ + +* + ♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦ * BIG FEATURES ♦ * OF RADIO ♦ !•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ SATURDAY S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Hookup 22 stations 8 pm— Walter Damrosch, lecturing on Beethoven's ninth symphony, with vocal quartet and instrumental artists.

For just a rate of pay. , Who little known, and little hailed, Has sheltered them through youth? The dull monotony of life Seems harder far to bear The task by which he earns his bread Than is the thrill of greater strife Perhaps gets naught of fame, With glory smiling there.

K ■ Ml 33S333SS3K3SSSSS3 Day-light Saving Time Having noticed a few editorials written by some of the poor sleepy eyed individuals, or more clearly citizens of our fair city Decatur. Supposing a few of the knockers of daylight saving time had a chance to take a good healthy swing at the national pastime baseball, or get out in the clean, pure flesh air each day for an hour rambling along the banks of some stream, casting occasionally, until they find God’s given treasure to man, “Health”. Os course it is hard to realize that there are people in this world who cherish the extra hour in bed. But to these thin chested hot house productions exercise is completely out of their dictionary. Remember the days of war. Daylight savings time was Uncle Sam’s way of more production. Well we are not arguing for production. What we want is a chance in the outdoors. Or the day labor, au extra hour in his little truck patch to help feed some hungry family. Certainly what is good for the state of Ohio is no detriment to the city of Decatur. As for taking the next boat out of N. Y. it you are not satisfied' with present conditions why not build or at least start another contribution for a T. B.

INo Doctor Bills Allowed In Russia Moscow (United Press) —Russians pay their doctor what they think their services are worth and it usually is not very much. Physicians are not allowed to render bills for medical attendance a tradition which grew op under the Czars and still is observed. Only the most expert speialists have ever been permitted to make definite charges, which usually is less than $5 per vist. and even these leading doctors regularly give several days cf free treatment each week. If a physician .offended at being offered fifty cents for his services, spurns the money and declares that he would rather give his services free than for such a paltry charge, lie is liable to expulsion from the medical association for unethical conduct. In spite of these apparent, handicaps the Russian medial schools are overcrowded with students, more ttian half of whom are women. Anderson —Profits from basketball here during the past winter enabled the athletic board of Anderson high school to lift $5,000 from the debt on the school gymnasium. o SULPHUR SOOTHES AN ITCHING SKIN The First Appliction Makes Skin Cool and Comfortable If you are suffering from eczema or some other torturing, embarassing skrin trouble you may quickly be rid | of it by using Mentho-Sulphur, declares a noted skin specialist. Thts sulphur preparation, because of its germ destroying properties, seldom fails to quickly subdue itching, even of fiery eczema. The first application makes the skin cool and comfortable. Rash and blotches are healed right up. Rowles Mentho-Sul-i phur is applied like any pleasant cold . cream and is perfectly harmless. You I can obtain a small jar from any good i druggist.
