THE URBAN FALLACY City people and country people are not two separate desses. A large percentage of all city dwel ers were born in the country and many city people spend their spare time on farms. Many farm owners and operators live in towns and cities. The automobile adds continuously to the intermingling of the two modes of life. It is superficial to the last degree to take lor granted a sharp division between them There are no doubt residents of the East Side of New York who have never been in the country, and

no-e.ll <ml hicks who have never been in the city, lint these are the comicopera types; life is increapiugly molii'e, ami men are not indentured to one estate, as In the Middle Ages. The country grows more and more industrial, and with the change comes a progressive urbanization. Cities reach out ami new towns spring up. But these urban dwellers search out the rustic spc'.s in their automobiles. In mounting numbers they go hunting. fishing, canoeing, camping and mountain climbing. They welcome additions to the national. stat£ pud county park systems. They buifd cabins and country homes, and even buy up abandoned farms. Thousands Join conservation movements and demand the protection of wild life. Patently, th-,- city does not completely absorb them. Writers speak glibly of a clash for control between the old rural America and the new industrial order. It is more to the point to guide development along orderly and seemly lines. All over the country the existing towns and cities are spreading out like the fingers of a hand. The development can be guided so that new additions to town and city will not repeat the mistakes of the old. With forethought and civic spirit we can have a convenient and beautiful progression. Why waste time in lamenting the growth of cities when the pressing problem is to direct that expansion along lines of usefulness and

harmony? Naturaily, different occupations and industries have interests which clash at times. The producer and the consumer do not always see eye to eye. But agriculture is not a thing apart, stuck off in a remote waste. It is tied in with transportation, raerchandlsi ng, warehouses, refrigerating plants, canneries, packing houses, byproduct industries. It is as closely allied to city as to country. What use is the heart without tissues, and what use are tissues without a heart? There is no gain from discussing the cleavage between city and country; there can be no progress unless we understand how closely the twain arc one.—Saturday Evening Post. Elections come and go, the democrats win occasionally and more often lose in Indiana, but the Indiana Democratic Editotial Association, goes right along, holding the most interesting sessions of any organization in the state. They have arranged for the mid winter meeting which will be held at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis on February 14th and 15th, with a banquet in the Riley room on the evening of the 11th. The speakers this year will include two of the greatest democrats in America, Mrs. Nellie Hoss, former governor of Wyoming

, TODAY'S CHUCKLE Knoxville. Tenn. —(UP.—A Justice of the peace here called Mose Flennlken, 50. out of Jail placed him under a ISW peace bond and sent him back to Jail. "(Jolly! I must be dangerous." said 'Mose. and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. ‘Nutt said. With John 1?. Deprex as president, a program of interest during the entire meet is assured. Every body invited. Better come and go along, you will find the old party a rather live bunch. Governor Leslie addressing the legislature yesterday recommended n number of things in general but without stating Just how the things stands for, including changes in the primary law and the statute of limitations as regards public officials, mayhe carried out. He advocates six million dollars more for the state highway commission without an increase of taxes which may prove a puzzle for the legislators to work out. He evidently goes on the theory that Is their business. A resolution was adopted in the stale senate yesterday calling upon L. K. Fishback, secretary, to "either find the missing furniture or purchase new." Seems as I hough most of the chairs and tables from the senate chamber and from the office of the lieutenant governor have disappeared and a search warrant may be the only means of finding them. Strange things have been happening down that way for several years we know but we had no idea it was so serious that the furniture had to be nailed down.

A half billion dollar appropriation for the war department passed in con giess yesterday, a huge sum for that purpose in a country presumed to favor peace at any cost. Those who believe, that the best preventative for war is to be ready for it, seem to be in the saddle. Its a rule that hasn't worked very successfully in other countries and ptobably won't here, but it will mean nice contracts for some lines. Bdi>e" liUtii IO oliOWiUg liiiiioeii a man in his days of sorrow, following the death of bis wife under strange and mysterious circumstances. He is protecting lier name in every way lie can, aiding her family ami saying no harsh things. He is grief stricken and there is some doubt that he will ever again be the great figure in baseball he has been, as a result of tills tragedy. Now to see whether Governor Leslie believes in words or action, if his campaign promises and those of his inaugural addresses are to be carried out lie wilt make many changes. It is but fair to say that ills job is a difficult one for affairs of the state are

not In apple pie order, Mr. Jackson s statements to the contrary nothwithstanding. The state of Indiana is in financial difficulties and it is agreed that something rather drastic must be done. Os course that means a special tax levy of some kind, a reduction of expenditures or an increase in the valuations. Just what the legislature will do about it remains to be seen, but without questio'n. they must act. Wonder why members of a legislature. instead of trying to work out new methods of taxing, don't use as much time to reducing the expenses Flu Milder Than in 1918, But Vicks Sets New Record Although the type of'flu this year is not. so serious as in 1918, health authorities are urging everybody to treat even the slightest, cold at the start, as colds lower the resistance and make the body an easy prey to bronchitis or pneumonia. An interesting response to this warning has been the phenomenal call for Vicks Vwpoßub, the external treatment which proved so helpful in the 1918 epidemic. In spite of vastly increased capacity, the Vicks laboratories are once more operating all night long and are now producing 375.000 jars daily. A substantial part of this Increase Is attributed to t lie widespread use of Vicks as a preventive.—advt.

which make necessary higher taxes. That’s right where we seem to be now. We will never have much better conditions until we become a little more thrifty about spending money. Pennsylvania proposes u cigarette tax jvith which to raise necessary funds without increasing the direct or the gasoline tax which will probably be objected to by the many ladies who have but recently taken on this habit.

BINGAMAN “Never shall 1 cease to lie grateful to Konjoia and for the blessing it proved to be to me and today I feel better every way than for year '." said Mrs. John 11. Bingaman, of Logansport, Indiana. “I had become afflicted with a complication of ills—kidney trouble, indigestion, gastritis, nervousness. Nothing helped me and I was so rundown generally that 1 looked a great deal older than I really was. 1 had to get ii,p several times at night; my back ached terribly; gas formed after every meal and gastritis attacks were frequent and seven'. I did not get even temporary relief and was disgusted with medicines as a whole. "I read about the amazing success of Konjoia and decided to give this medicine a trial. I have taken two bottles and the change in my condition is astounding. I am feeling well again in every way. Indigestion has disappeared, and naturally the gastritis. The kidney situation is entirely relieved. I am sleeping sound every night. Any medicine -that can do all this in two weeks will certainly build me up in strength and vitality after my years o£ suffering. Konjoia is sold in Decatur at the Smith, 'Yager & Falk drug store, and by, all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire vicinity.
