The price of hogs is down to prewar prices, but the money derived from the sale of your crop ot porkers won't go nearly so far. Guess thats what they call normalcy. Come on in with five dollars for membership in the Old Home Week club. You can't lose. If it goes, its a good thing for you and every one else. If it don't you get your money back in full. What could be fairer? If Thomas Adams really wants to cause a little election excitement in Indiana he should grab his hat out of the republican ring and hurl it into that of the Independents. That would be sure to muddy the waters for both old (>arties. Wish you would pay your subscription this week if you take the Daily Democrat by mail. We are anxious to continue your paper and we must collect in advance, the government holding that newspapers not paid for cannot be counted as circulation. Girls you must wear your skirts longer, in length we mean, not in yeais or months. From Paris comes the decree that short skirts are out of style and the statement is backed by the argument that so many ladies can't wear ’em for various reasons. No, sir, we haven’t given up Old Home week or the club, not by a jugfull. In fact, we have hardly started on that drive. When you all show a little more interest, and we- are sure you will one of these days, then we will spur up. D. C. Stephenson, of Michigan City, is enjoying a few days away from Waiden Dally, of whom he claims to be afraid. He 'is a witness In the bank investigation at Kokomo, the bank having been the headquarters for cash of the klan in the palmy days of that organization. We believe that Decatur can and ought to‘go out this spring and land an industry or two, thus providing labor tor our people and keeping money in circulation. Thats the difference between a good and a bum town. One keeps moving when the other goes stale. Lets snap out of it? Many from here will attend the democratic meeting at Bluffton next Tuesday evening, when Frank Dailey, a former eighth district citizen, now a candidate for governor, will give the principal address. It will be a real event with an abundance ot enthusiasm and you will enjoy it if you participate. The highways ot Adams county belong to you. Would you allow some one to ruin your lawn or destroy your house or your garage? You know you would just raise the dickens. Why not give the same attention to the investment we have in roads? This is the season when heavy loads mean ruin to the roads. its only about ten days until the first day for filing tor county offices. Candidates will be busy from March Sih on it is predicted and the campaign promises to be unusually active in Indiana where there -seems to be a determination among voters in gen-

eral to clean up the state house and get rid of the obnoxious odor which has permeated from there for some years now. ni-.x uae •. After all we have nothing to com- ’• plain about. Those who heard Miss * Ruth Myers lecture Sunday evening ; will remember what she said about how native Chinese live every few years, after drouth or floods have de- ’ stroyed the crops, by eating a sub- ' soil, sometimes mixed with rice or . grass and sometimes just baked with- ) out any mixture. What if some of > us folks had to exist for months on J plain dirt? Gosh, after all we are rich and fortunate, aren't we? Thomas H. Adams, the Vincennes editor who advised a clean-up of the state just before the last election and brought down upon his head the 1 wrath ot the republican politicians, has announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor. He hasn’t much chance to win but his . speeches between now and primary day should make good campaign literature for the democrats in the fall battle. We can’t imagine any thing much worse than a dead community, one in which every one hangs back, waiting for some one else to move and com-1 plaining about conditions. There is no sense in us doing that. We have a tine city and county, with every one fairly proseprous. If we keep things moving every one will be happy. Thats why we are strong for an Old Home Week. It means a general hustling up that is a good tonic. Don’t pass it UP. JU l.k-Xl .JTT~ Mai ch the 7th is to be a day of prayer in Chicago and if ever a city needed it Chicago is that city. The Union Ministers Association has arranged a big program and every one on that day is asked to pray for a cleaner city, politically, officially and morally. The resolution says:—“Conditions in Chicago have reached a state where the ballot box is watonly violated; where life and property are not safe; where the homes of citizens ate menaced by bombs and where crime, graft and corruption are increasing.’’ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * S¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1528 by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout.

Tips For Taxpayers Losses arising from “fires, storms, shipwreck or other casualty or from theft” are deductible and need not be connected with the taxpayer's trade or business. If his home or automobile is destroyed by fire, or his summer bungalow damaged by storm, he may claim a deduction Jor the loss sustained. The term "other casualty,” within the meaning of the statute, is one arising through physical force of nature for example, a flood or frast. Loss of property by theft or burglary is an allowable deduction, and need not be incurred in trade or business. Hence the loss occasioned by the theft of jewerly or an automobile used for pleasure or convinence is deductible. Should circumstances attending a loss of jewelry leave the owner hi doubt as to whether it was stolen, misplaced, or lost from his person, a claim for loss would not be allowed. It must be established that the jew- • elry ,was stolen. A loss for embezzlement is deductible for the year in which sustained. o «; **¥* ** if V- ¥K i * PETERSON NEWS * * By * * Miss Jeanette Spade * x *********** n Mr. and Mrs. Lee Annen. of Decatur were guests of Mr.’'and Mrs. J.

Couldn’t Sleep, Stomach HurtSo j Suffered for Years. Finally Found Belief. Perfectly Well Now. Readers who can’t eat without gas or pain, will be interested in reading how Mrs. Ada A. Shoemaker, 449 Lindly Street, Huntington, Ind., recovered her health. She writes: “I had stomach trouble for 3 years. After meals, gas formed in distressing quantities, and I would turn weak and dizzy and had a choking sensation in my throat so bad I thought I had goitre. Food felt like a rock in my stomach and caused such heartburn and shortness of breath that I couldn’t walk far or do anything else without stopping and sitting down to rest. Often, at night, I’ve had to get out of bed and sit in a chair, because my stomach felt so wretched. Four doses of Viuna brought me wonderful relief, and now my troubles have vanished. I am eating anything, without a sign of gas or pain or dizziness, and the choking sensation in my throat is all gone. lam sleeping soundly all night long and feeling better every day. It seems wonderful that any medicine could give such quick and lasting relief as Viuna has given me.’’ Viuna acts promptly on Bluggisb bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the blood, clears the skiu, restores appe life and digest lon, and brings new strength and energy to the whole bbdy. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad vou tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by leelaud Medieine Co., Indianapolis, lud.
