Are you wearing an Old Home Week Club huttoff? Winter may have been delayed a little but when it did arrive, proved to be of the old brand with” plenty of snow and wind and weather. It costs but five dollars to become a member of the Old Home Week Club, financing the big week withoul a burden upon any one. Surely if its worth doing its worth five dollars to every man in Decatur. There seems to be a wild rush to unload stocks and without any particular cause unless the drive to buy had forced them up higher than they belonged. As always when these things occur thousands will lose their money while a few others who are on the inside, will make millions. Its a great old game—to stay out of. The testimony of D. C. Stephenson and other witnesses in the recent Jackson trial, showed that he kept $65,000 in cash in a vault, just to use on such occasions. Do you wonder that this state was almost wrecked by the political manipulations of an organization guided by one so unscrupulous? Five boys were arrested in Goshen the other day for stealing money out of milk bottles. Two of them were sent to jail, two were placed under probation and one escaped without punishment. Similar offenses are committed in about every town and city and should be stopped for to do els ■ is but to encourage boys in stealing. Old Home Week will a great occasion and especially so if it is given by the entire community. The club now being organized is for that purpose. You take no chanc.es in taking out a membership. Either the week will be givefl or you will get your money back. Thats fair enough, surely, and we hope every one will send in a five-dollar bill and then take an active part in putting the event on. Semi in an application for membership in the Old Home Week .Club. Upon the failure or success of this campaign depends the of the big event. You don’t want it to fail, you want to be a part of it. You can secure a membership card by applying Uo either of the tnree banks or at this office. Don't put it off for a delay means the abandouniein of the effort. tip to the fifteenth of September, exaltly 10,753 bills had been introduced in the house of congress and 3,o!>2 in the United Slates senate during this term. Isn’t it ridiculous. ’Hiats an average of twenty-live for eiach congressman and thirty for each senator. Most of them are offered to appease certain individuals or factious in the districts of the representatives and 'without hope or desire of them passing lint sufficient do get through Io complex the situation. Governor Jackson is going to publish thd evidence he intended to offer in his own defense. Thats title, but just how lie knew what each man would testify to on direct and cross-

examination is not only puzzliug but doubtful. The people have made up their minds and it will take more than IT mere publicity to change them. The governor will refuse to resign and . efforts along the line of forcing hint to do so will be idle ones. He will carry out his bluff until the voters decide they have had enough of he and his kind. Congress and the president are of opposite opinion as to what should be done on flood relief. Congress wants to appropriate $473,000,000 to be spent during the next ten years while the president Insists that a part of the money should come from the states where the money is to be spent. In the meantime, the flood season again approaches and so far there has been nothing but talk. Should the disasters of last year be repeated the results may be unusual in several ways. Os course whatever is done will be smoothed out for this is leap year, when we elect national officers. Hon. George Hershman, a member of the state highway commission, will speak before the Decatur Industrial Association at the K. of P. home tomorrow evening and he will bring To the people of this community an important message. The program as j outlined for this section is so ini- I portant as to be about- the most interesting question we could hear discussed and we will be glad to hear it from one so well qualified to explain. Everyone who can do so should attend this meeting. We will be interested deeply in knowing the plans for the east and west road as well as the paving of road 27. Alice Roosevelt Longworth says that President Coolidge looks as though he was weaned on a pickle but she hasn't told which of the fiftyseven varieties. However, he seems to be able to put it over. Though he vetoed the farm relief bill they keep on yelling for him, though he named the biggest owner of distillery stock in the country to enforce prohibition .lie is credited by every prohibitionist with being the greatest leader of all limes and though eighty million of bur 130.000,000 are struggling to eke out a bare existence, he makes the average man think we are enjoying real prosperity. How does he do it? Surely there is some reason for it other than that a few rich men want to get richer. After tlie horse is stolen, we lock the doors in Indiana, but perhaps its better to lock them now than not at all. Attorney General Gilliom today began his fight to drive the ku klux klan out of the state. He is trying to throw’ the organization into the hands of a receiver and to have-their charter revoked. Had he done that three or four years ago he would have saved the state from much of the disgrace which has been heaped upon Indiana, but the people tired and disgusted with the records made, will welcome any thing which will clear r.

Tips For Taxpayers No. Seven The vast majority ot taxpayers are salaried persons and therefore are entitled. in addition to the personal exemption and n credit for dependents, to a further credit of 25 per cent of the tax on their earned net Income. Correctly to compute this credit, the taxpayer first must compute the amount of tax which would he payable of tax which would be payable without the earned income credit. From tho amount- of the tux 25 per cent is to be deducted, the balance being the amount of tax due. Earned income Is defined as “wages, salaries, professional fees, and other amounts received as compensation for personal services actually rendered." However, all net income up to $5,000, whether actually earned inconid for the purpose of the 25 per cent credit. A taxpayer may have received in 1927 a salary of $2,400 and from a realestate transaction a net profit of $2,600 Nevertheless the entire $5,000 is considered as earned income. The tax payable in such cases is computed as follows: , Net Income $5,000.00 Less personal exemption .... 1,500.00 Balance taxable at .. 3,500.00 114% of $3,500 52.50 Less 14 of $52.50 earned in come credit 13.13 Balance of tax payable .... 39.37 Other examples of how correctly to compute the earned income credit will follow. — o ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥«* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO ’ * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥> Poles, by strikes of protest, may force Germany to revise terms of Rus-so-German peace treatey by which Poland would be held by latter country.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation ana torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth’’— bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver—constipation, you'll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night , to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c.
