The miners seem determined to, strike but the public is not worrying, much. Its too late and too early toj bother much about coal. Three cheers for Decatur and Adams county, still the best spot on earth and with outlook for a happy, prosperous and progressive season. If we will continue to pull together in harmony and not forget to pull our share, we will step right along. A. 11. Hinkle; state superintendent of highways, is in this section of the state this week, completing plans fori, the years labor to improve and to maintain the great system of which he has charge. Its a tremendous job and one which is important not only for now but for decades to come. President Coolidge will spend some time this summer in Wisconsin and 1 we are sure that a few weeks there will convince him that he has been foolish all these years iu thinking that one had to go to Maine or some ■ other eastern resort state for the summer season. If he doesn’t like | northern Wisconsin in July and August. hf doesn’t care for the great outdoors. * The outlook for Decatur is bright and thats something in this day of general pessimism. We believe the next few months will bring activities worth while and that the city is just starting upon a sound and healthy growth that will mean much to every one. Don’t be dragging along. Get into the game and life a little and this will be the best spot iu America and so acknowledged. The Golden Rule is timed for th' e ho neglect to pay their bills when jhey promise by the business men in a page display which appeared in this paper yesterday and the message is ini port an*. Os course one of the difficult things in business these days is to finance it and to carry those who ask for credit. Frequently to do that the merchant must borrow money and the interest is often more than the profit.’ Thats hardly fair, is it? One of the best barometers of times tor the average newspaper is foreign advertising. When efforts arc being made to keep things moving, the biggest concerns are announcing their plans with advertising publicity. During the past few days we have received a dozen contracts from such corporations as General Motors, Ford, Altudabaker, tobacco companies and Others indicating a general upgrade Ju business and most welcome we Jissure you. * 11111 1 " J!’"*— . When the new acts of the recent legislature become effective it will be Jjuulawful for any building and loan dissociation to charge more than fifty •cents on each SIOO of stock sold. •This will of course stop the high •powered salesmen who have been .making easy profits by selling the at a premium of three to five •dollars on each SIOO and will enable •those so desirous to buy stock for •that much less money. Building and Moan associations are good only when -they are operated for the community •more than for private gains. « * - *— J Judge Dearth appearing as a witbefore the senate in his own im-' □>eachment trial, made a very poor ,

witness, it is announced iu the press dispatches. He couldn’t remember and couldn’t recall, reminding one of evidence before u grand jury by some 1 one who didn't want to remember things ami by the way It is charged that the judge frequently dropped in j to the grand jury room to uid in their work. Perhaps he learned the fact I there that such an answer usually prevents further questioning on a disagreeable subject. Three ministers testified yesterday tn the Dearth impeachment hearing that the jurist’s reputation for in? ■ tegrity and honesty is bad, a wallop that may convince the members of the senate of his unfitness to sit in judgment as a court. Arguments were made today <jml the case will go to the senate as a jury this evening. Its a disgraceful affair, first of its kind in ninety two years and leads 'many to believe that Thomas Adams knew what ho was talking abou j when he said there were a lot of things in Indiana which needed cleaning. Superintendent Hinkle of the State Highway Commission visited us today on his inspection of roads in this par of the state’. He promised his immediate effort to have the commission take over the east and west road through this city, from the state line to Huntington. Mr. Hinkle is a splendid road man and a diplomat in hi.; work. Mr. Hauk, the new engineer in this section accompanied Mr. Hinkle as did Mr. Lee and Mr. Siniff. A' are confident that action will b • taken on the new highway during thr next few days. The easements on both the roads east from this city have been secured almost a hundred per cent and the highway will within a few years be one of the leading ones, i o THE GREAT WAR 10 YEARS AGO I -J President Wilson confers with Secretary of War Baker on war preparation*.
