This is a good time to clean the alleys as lias oeen requested by the street commissioner. He is working all the time to keep the streets and alleys looking their best and he needs your cooperation. Oklahoma is now another state which cannot afford to "poke" much fun at Indiana. Governor Johnston has been suspended from office pending impeachment, this being the culmination of a scrap which has been on for two years. There was a lot of genuine pep in the meeting of the Decatur Country Club members in annual session last evening and the outlook for a pleasant year with much progress could not be better. The club will go forward. Better join and have a good time with the rest of the folks. A surrey which a few years ago was worth sllO was sold by a Bluffton hardware store the other day for five dollars to Sim Myer, a farmer of Wells county. If Sint needs it he of course got a great bargain. To most folks the buggy would be high at any price for it is only a relic of the old days. The scientists are trying to find a vaccine Which will prevent dogs from going mad so the pets of a few millionaires may be saved. No objections to that but why not at the same time devote a little time to something that will prevent men from going mad. They cause more damage than dogs when they go on a rampage. Judges of Indiana are working for a bill which will increase their pay to from $6.(1011 to SIO,OOO and at the same time effort is being made to establish a dozen or more new courts in the state. Its all very fine and fair enough for those who benefit but of course adds to the burdens of the people and should be given the most careful consideration. The same congress which Is spending millions for battleships and for junketing trips of various kinds became so economical yesterday that they reduced the proposed pension for Mrs. Thomas Marshall, wife of a former widely beloved vice-president of the United States from $5,000 per year to $3,000. If "Tom” could speak it would be interesting to hear his estimate of the "pikers and pickers." Dry forces arc dividing over the position taken by Secretary Mellon on the appropriation for $25,000,000 additional for enforcement of the laws. One faction passed red hot resolutions condemning the secretary of the treasury while the other are just as enthusiastic for him. break may be a serious one, affecting several branches of the government before they finally compromise or one Bide or the other wins out. The country is stock market tuad just now and it is not unusual to hear of some one who has made as much in a few days as the average person saves in a lifetime, but wait, you will soon hear the other side for in a gambling game when some one wins some one else loses and what goes up uiusi come down. We clout knowwhen the crest will be reached but

we do know that it will some time and then a lot of folks who think they are rich will learn it was all a bubble. Over in England they are discussing a bill In parliament designed to reduce traffic accidents and it goes farther than any similar bill ever suggested In this country. They propose to license drivers, revoke licenses when the driver is convicted of careless driving, install mechanical governors on autos to regulate the speed, require drivers to stop their cars when there is danger of a collision and compel every autoist to carry liability insurance. They evidently believe in doing the thing thoroughly once they decide to do it. Ben C. Nott of Grand Rapids, speaking before the annual meeting of the National Canners Association in Chicago yesterday declared that scientists who have spent their lives in culinary research are better fitted to prepare foods than the hosewives who he said know only the rudiments of cooking. He predicts that the homes of the future will be kitchenless. He may be right but he will have a hard time convincing some of us that the prepared foods are an improvement over the old fashioned ones. They may be more convenient but they lack the taste. If he don't believe it and will spend a few days in Adams county we are sure he could be convinced. Many of the states have laws establishing a maximum speed for automobiles, or at least stating that operation at a certain speed is evidence of an excessive rate. Michigan is one of the states that has no speed limit on automobiles on state highways outside of incorporated villages and cities. A bill patterned after the Michigan law’ has been introduced in the Indiana legislature. The requirement is made' that the car must be under control nt all times. Apparently this law seems likely to be permanent. The people of the state have seemingly reached the conclusion that laws for fixed speed limits can not be enforced. If half the motorists in the state are driving 4u miles an hour and no effort is made to stop it, the law might as well be repealed, and replaced by one that can be enforced. But while public sentiment allows anyone to drive at high speed on the open road out in the country, it is becoming very strong against the person who speeds a car unduly through cities and towns.—New Castle Courier. — o » TWENTY YEARS AGO • * From the Dally Democrat Filo • • Twenty Years Ago Today • **«*¥¥*«****T Jan. 23, 1909. —C.

Safety, silence and simplicity are features of the new Ford .. six-brake system ’ I ll A I 1 L - -J. I UJSJJJT

ONE of the first things you will notice when you drive the new Ford is the quick, effective, silent action of its six-brake system. This system gives you the highest degree of safety and reliability because the four-wheel service brakes and the separate emergency or parking brakes are all of the mechanical, internal-expand-ing type, with braking surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud, water, sand, etc. The many advantages of this type of braking system have long been recognized. They are brought to you in the new Ford through a series of mechanical improvements embodying much that is new in design and manufacture. A particularly unique feature is the simple way by which a special drum has been constructed to permit the use of two sets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. The brake construction on the front wheels also is unusual. Here the brakes are enclosed without the use of a leather boot or sliding joint to protect the linkage between the brake rods and the mechanism on the brake plate.

A further improvement is effected by the self-centering feature of the four-wheel brakes—an exclusive Ford development. Through this construction, the entire surface of the shoe is brought in contact with the drum the instant you press your foot on the brake pedal. This prevents screeching and howling and makes the 1' ord brakes unusually silent. Another feature of the Ford brakes is the ease of adjustment. The four-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a regulating screw conveniently located on the outside of each brake plate. This screw is so notched that all four brakes can be set alike simply by listening to the “clicks.” The emergency or parking brakes on the new Ford require little attention. However, should they need adjustment at any time, consult your Ford dealer for prompt, courteous, and economical service. He works under close factory supervision and he has been specially trained and equipped to help you get the greatest possible use from your car over the longest period of time at a minimum of trouble and expense.
