According to the official dope from Washington there are in this country eighty per cent as many horses today as there were eight years ago. Maybe, but what the dickens do we do with them? The Federal Farm Loan Board has taken over by foreclosure over seventeen million dollars worth of farming land and is arranging now to take over five million dollars worth .more. Thats a lot of land for they are getting it for tne mortgages. At that rate they will own all of it in .a few years, solving the problem in one way if not the best. Several farm meetings are to be held in Adams county this week, the first in Berne, tonight, second, here tomorrow night, and third, Friday night at the Fuelling school. These are not political meetings but are affairs designed to aid the fdr.mers by organization which by the way is the only means of securing better conditions for the agriculturists. The speakers, Earl Crawford, Lew Taylor and G. A. Briggs are all able and each has a message that you should hear. Colonel Lindbergh is planning a trip to Paris next summer and he will probably not have to take along any letters of introduction. His reception will be just as sincere as was the one on that eventful evening just ten months ago when he landed at Le Bourget and was almost swamped with kisses. The colonel has made a million since then and he will be quite a different gentleman than he was last year. Some one has started a boom for Lindbergh for vice-president on the republican ticket. We don’t know his politics and doubt if fie does. He is perhaps in> about the same position Mr. Hoover was in 1920 but why discuss it? Colonel Lindbergh is about eight years too young to fill the office of vice-president. If he keeps on gaining in popularity the next few years as he has the past ten months, he won t fool around with the job of presiding over the United States senate but will be unanimously elected president and it won’t make much difference on what ticket he runs. The Chicago Tribune of last Sunday contained a lengthy editorial headed "Under the Patronage of the Anti-Saloon League" in which a complete history of federal and state corruption since 1920 is recited with some serious charges against various public men. including President Harding. Will Hays, Harry Sinclair, Albert Fall and many others. With all of it they link the anti-saloon league, evidently taking the position that all men so engaged are either fools or knaves. Anyway, its a sad chapter in American history. Out driving in an automobile and running thirty-five miles an hour, u motorcycle went past and iu a minute or two was lost iu the distance. It must have been running sixty or seventy miles an hour and wc wondered why we had never heard of a inutoreyelist being arrested for speeding. And wc don’t know yet. Neither do we know how boys of fifteen and

sixteen year of age can secure licenses, tor a motpr cycle in the hands of a boy is a dangerous machine. There is an age limit on the driving of automobiles and" in good faith we . ask if it does not apply to any kind 1 of a motor vehicle and it that does not include motorcycles? We don’t know how the rest of the country Is getting along econ- ! omlcally, but a survey shows that 1 every thing is in very good condi--1 tion here. The General Electric, Decatur Castings, Krick & Tyndall, the Mutschler Packing company, Waring Glove Company and other concerns are operating and there seems to be quite a little work. The sugar factory will make changes in their yards which will employ quite a number of men and the building of several roads in this part of the county will provide work tor many. We have every reason to feel like moving out this spring. A little optimism will help a lot. Merchants in nearby cities are bidding for spring trade with varied campaigns and activities. The Peru Daily Tribune of Saturday consisted of twenty-four pages filled with attractive advertisementsand announcements and features including a page invitation to patrons to attend a “City Wide Spring Opening" from the 21st to the 24th inclusive. Each merchant offers bargains and new styles and other items which will attract buyers from a distance and make the occasion an outstanding one as a business starter for the spring trade. It pays to be alive and united effort of the merchants is the very best thing that can be done. Senator Tilden who lectured at the library last evening convinced his hearers that the world is changing and that some thing must be done to meet the conditions of today, but like most of those who make that announcement tailed to make exactly clear just how that could be done. We doubt if there is as great a change as we are led to believe by the daily news stories and by the lectures wp hear and the books and magazine articles we read. After all we have about the same desires and ambitions, we live about the same length of time though we step a little faster than our forefathers perhaps, we read more, see more, pear more because of modern advantages, but we meet the same end aud we have the same greatest problem to solve —what then? We are old fashioned enought to believe that faith rather than science is the only solution. *¥¥¥¥¥<)>¥¥¥¥«* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 55 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥B TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF— Hookup 8 pm.

Editor the Democrat: The attached item was clipped from the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. That editor is to be commended for his nerve. How could he write such a thing after the events that have come to the Republican party in the last decade? The Tweed ring flourished half a century ago. One does not have to go back quite so far to find Teapot Dome, Sinclair Liberty Bonds, Will Hays, Vare of Pennsylvania. Smith, of Illinois, Newberry, of Michigan, Fall of New Mexico, and Ed Jackson, of Indiana, to say nothing of myriads of lesser lights of the renowned eagle party. One can readily agree with the most worthy editor that the eagle, after living in such an atmosphere for so long, would easily stifle in a Democratic atmosphere. Even if the leaders really make an honest attempt to clean up the party, the old bird's lungs are probably in such a shape by this time that it will be years before it is in condition to breathe in anything approaching purity. After all, it may not be nerve on the good editor’s part, it is possibly | ignorance. Can it be that the honest Republican never reads any paper but his own and so has nevdr heard of Jackson, Sinclair, et al? If so, I move that we take up a collection in order to give him a year’ ssubscriptiou to same good paper, and perhaps to send him a few pages from the Congressional Directory. He would then know the kinds of atmosphere that the Donkey ami Eagle' are respectively breathing. Following is the item: NOT AN "EAGLE PARTY.” The democratic "women’s auxiliary” of Philadelphia has' formally and emphatically resolnted and decided that the attempt to substitute the eagle, titself a republican emblem J for the donkey, is most unfair and therefore should be frowned upon. The democratic women of this honorable body are absolutely right, but their resolution needed a slight addition to the effect that the element of unfairness would*be toward the eagle. The democratic party never was and never will be an "eagle patty." The democratic party, with its Tammany and Boss Tweed, lives and thrives in an atmosphere that would stifle an eagle. Their continued adherence to the donkey, therefore, is proper and logical, and they are to be congratulated on their frankness, though not their wisdom in declaring that they will hold to the donkey as symbol of their party because he it a docile animal when pleased but knows how to kick when he is displeased They could 'have extended the eulogy on his kicking qualities, tor iu his brief periods of control the "democratic donkey has frequently kicked over the institutions of political decqpcy and sound government, as well as everything in the way ofjsolid | prosperity that republicans have managed to build up.

KONJOLA WAS THE MEDICINE SHE HAD ALWAYS NEEDED To Thoroughly Cleanse and Build Up Her Whole System A* MRS. MOLLIE ZWAHLEN • “Jvmjola is the first medicine that really ended my health troubles,” said Mrs. Mollie Zwablen, 825 Cagey Ave., Mt . Vernon, 111..’“and I had been trying one thing after the other for ,the last five years, hoping to find just such a remedy. "I had stomach trouble so long that I didn't know what to do for myself anymore. 1 tried almost everything for relief, but I continued to suffer intense misery after every meal. My system would fill up with gas until I coujd hardly get my breath and I would nearly double up with cramps and indigestion pains. Constipation troubled me a great deal and I was always suffering with severe headaches. “I could feel an improvement all thru my entire system after the second day. Now, lam free of all stomach trouble and the dreadful headaches have gone entirely. I am stronger in every way ami 1 owe my new health to Konjola alone. It is the first, medicine to do what was claimed for it.” Konjola is sold in Decatur nt Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store and by all Hie best druggists iu all ttpvns tUrougfiout Lfiiß gectiou.
