Lets resolve to do a little more for the other fellow. The Scotchman who claims to have driven the same car twenty-five years is probably worrying because he may have to buy a new tire or two before long. Strange as it may seem we haven't heard of any vaudeville circuit making Hickman an offer. He ought to be as good an attraction as some of those contemplated. Wonder why the old fashioned almanac passed out? We always enjoyed the predictions, the jokes, the advice and the Wise cracks and we believe the public generally did. The American dollar is said to be worth sixty-seven cents now as compared to 1918, which doesn't sound very good to the fellow who is working for two or three dollars a day. The fact that a hundred or two died of Christmas “cheer,” in the form of poison mule liquor will not prevent that many or more from taking a similar trip as a celebration of the New Year. HELP GUARD THE ROADS*" WHILE THEY ARE SOFT. THEY ARE YOUR ROADS AND YOU PAY THE REPAIR BILL. DON’T RUIN THEM YOURSELF AND DON' T LET ANY ONE ELSE. This is unusual weather for this time of year aud the roads are suffering. It is important that you back up Charles E. Magley, road superintendent and his assistants in their continuous effort to save the highways. Watch the loads and be careful. Governor Henry Johnston seems to be the winner in the fight to oust him as chief executive of Oklahoma and since the world loves a winner he will become a greater figure than he was before he got till the publicity. If every one hi Decatur and Adams county will resolute to help his community every time and every way in which he can. the sum total in one year would be enormous. — We hope that every farm in Adams county will reach'its real value, whatever that, is, the coming year. If that happens we will -have a prosperity with a backbone to it, one tb;d will last for years. Now to make it good they ought to send George Remus out to Los Angeles to defend Hickman. The old bootlegger might be able to tell the young drug fiend some things about court difmeanor that would aid him in changing the minds of the jurors. Chicago is to have a world fair in 1933, it is announced and the managers might, do well to make a few inquiries in and around Philadelphia where they tried that kind of an affair Last year and it “Hopped" completely. X Governor Jackson celebrated bis \v-fourth birthday this week but W' idu’t heard of him receiving any hoX of pearls or fancy saddle * lc times seem a little \ a few years ago. Dtjn't Nstart a savings ac-

| count out of this weeks earnings, r Start the Now Year off with a bank account and keep adding to it for a year. You will be surprised how much real money you can have in a few J? years if you will form the habit and it stick to it. r, The annual report of the finance committee shows Decatur in a very 2 fine condition with a balance of $16,0 000 iu the electric fund, $4,200 in the ® water fund and about $24,000 in the 0 general fund. Its only a few years 5 since we were borrowing money to 01 q 1 pay our coal bills. The city plant is responsible for much of the betterment and the future looks very bright. It will be great if the next generation will have a debtless and taxless city government and its not impossible. Ora Davies who served as state treasurer but under considerable suspicion because of a shortage as treasr urer of Howard county has been indicted by a federal grand jury for causing the wreck of a Kokomo bank, s Now he is resigning as receiver for * a couple of national banks, one at ’’ Sheridan and the other at Nobles- - ville. He received those jobs at the suggestion of Senator James E. Matson who gets in deeper all the time. ' Frank Ball will find running for governor under his management some ' job. In the meantime it looks like the end of Mr. Davies politically. Thomas H. Adams of the Vincennes Commercial, in a two-column, 10-point black, editorial, warns the republicans of Indiana once more that they must get rid of the state committee, Chairman Waib, Watson influence, Schortemeier and Thurman and every one else tainted by recent exposures. He calls to mind the tact that Governor Jackson, Ora Davies, Boss Coffin and others are under indictment and that several who are mentioned as candidates are under suspicion and adds that if the republicans do not “clean it up" the opposition will. Mr. Adams is fearless and honest but his advice is not being heeded. Jim Watson will, control whatever is done and that will mean just a smoothing over instead <sf a genuine renovation which the state needs. Its going to be a hot campaign in Indiana. o USE Limberlost Washing Powder Coughs Stopped Almost Instantly A New, Safe Prescription A famous physician's prescription called Thoxine relieves the most stubborn coughs that otherwise might hang on for weeks.

Pleasant tasting, easy to take and safe for the whole family. Remember one swallow stops night coughs or sore throat within 15 min utes or money back. 35c, GOc and SI.OO.

I WHEN YOUR HAND GOES TO YOUR HEART Difficulty in breathing and heart I palpitation arc symptoms of high I blood pressure, which may cut off ■ life suddenly. Our modern habits j of hie are responsible, putting too I great a strain upon the vital oijgans, „ I especially the liver. XVlieii the liver becomes “limp” | or sluggish it fails to cleanse the I blood of the toxic poisons formed j in food waste. The poisons then I permeate the system, affecting stomach, kidneys, heart and blood pres- • sure. j The liver occasionally needs a little help, and there's nothing better ' for this, as medical men today i know, than a Little ox gall. Ox gall is a great natural stimulant, for the human liver, promoting its normal | active functioning, so essential to I real health. Dioxol tablets are gen- | nine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing 10 | drops of pure ox gall. A few bring | impressive results. To be sure of getting tire genuine ox gall, be sure i of getting Dioxol. They cost less than 2c each at druggists.
