LINCOLN, THE AMERICAN: — Often when this government is faced with the solution of a particularly difficult problem, when a decision must be made which will of necessity alienate the feeling of a certain group of our countrymen, or a foreign power must be dealt with firmly and forcefully yet withal tactfully, we hear in the halls of congress, ' “What would Lincoln have done?" The boys of every age will thrill to ' his rise from the humble log cabin. The youth will be inspired and heartened by his preserving struggle towards an education. The young man will smile and forget his own embarrassments in following the awkt ward, gawky figure in its first essay into public life. The young attorney will find inspiration in tile career of Lincoln, the lawyer. The man with a serious interest in the affairs of the commonwealth will follow those years in the legislature and in congress. The statesman will study with awe the masterly handling of national issues in those ominous campaign days. The stylist of diction will turn to the Gettysburg address, a monument in the simple dignity of expression which has never been approached in the language. • The fateful years of his presidency are the pages of a world book. No executive was ever faced with a problem such as he —a nation crumbling before his eyes, and charged with the ' leadership of a gigantic struggle, ' brother against brother. The wisdom ‘ of his guidance and his overpowering ■ determination to save the Union ■ brought victory to the worshipful i North, but the memory of his kindliness and humility have made his name almost as much revered in the South. The men who have seen and talked ' to Lincoln are now- a wevring line which will soon fade over the horizon, but Hie memory of that great spirit becomes brighter < ach year and will , serve for many a century as the unfailing guiding star of the republic. There is no doubt that Indiana needs boosting as was suggested by Prof. L. C. Ward in his address at the T. P. A. banquet last evening. Nor is there doubt as to why we need it, which might fairly be taken in to' consideration by any speaker on that subject. The only way to really do the job Is to include all citizens rather than to make it a partisan measure and to do it seriously and consistently as patriotic Hoosiers. This is nne of the real states of the forty-eight, every body knows it because of the fad that in every line of endeavor citizens from old Indiana engage with success and fame. We don’t need to apologize, we should just clean up and in the meantime live on our reputation built during the hundred years proceeding the last, dozen. In the meantime we will all do our best as suggested by Mr. Ward to continue Hie state in the front van of the Union. Lower light rates for Decatur Is another achievement for the administration and for those in charge of the city plant, an important part of the citys affairs. In addition a lower power rate lor those "to use more than fifty thousand watts per mouth

For the past number of years the Decatur municipal light and power plant has prospered. It Is now one of the finest in tlie middle west and *the city has a surplus of funds on hands sufficient to pay off the bonded indebtedness.. It is right of course that tills advantage be given the people and the reduction in light rates will make the expense of lights lower for every one. It is a splendid thing to do and shows how carefully the business Is being handled. Did you ever stop to think that over half the deposits of the local banks of Hartford City are carried at a loss to the banks? More than half of the | depositors do not carry enough money on deposit to pay the cost of keeping the account. In many cities a charge of fifty cents a month is made where the amount on deposit falls below |SO. The average cost of handling each account is between $5 and $lO a year. The smaller depositors, as a rule, issue as many checks as the larger depositors and it is just as much trouble handling a small account as a large one. No bank can loan over two-thirds of its deposits and to make the account yield a profit to the bank the daily balance of each depositor should be over S2OO on the average. Did you ever stop to think how many accounts the Hartford City banks were losing money on all the time?— Hartford City News. Solving the problem of a measure to raise more tax -s in Indiana would probably get farther if back of every movement was not the idea of building a political machine all the while. The latest one is a one cent tax on cigars and a one mill tax on cigarettes, the state auditor to be in charge with a stamp seller in each county, thus adding that many more to the pay roll. We still believe the statesmanlike thing to do would be greater effort at reducing overhead rather than continually adding to it. We may complain every time we throw a shovel full of coal on the fire but just the same this is the kind of winter that is best for every one. There is less sickness than a month ago when we were having so many changes and those who claim to know say that such weather is usually followed by a normal spring and a good summer season, which means better crops as well as better health. . Here is something to worry about if you are so inclined —the production of gold in America is less than half what it was a dozen years ago. In 1915 we produced $101,000,000 and in 1928 but $15,000,000. The cause, it is explained is that the labor cost of mining has reached a point where many of the smaller mines cannot be operated at a profit.

February 12, 1929. DEAR FRIENDS: Today I want to tell you what a Decatur mother with three small children told me. She says that ever since those children were babies, she's been careful to keep them away from germs. She boils their milk and sterilizes their toys. She’s especially particular that they use their handkerchiefs. "All of a sudden one day.” she says, “I got to wondering about those handkerchiefs—and their clothes. Lots of times I had no idea under what conditions they were washed. Then I realized how important it is to have those clothes washed in sanitary surroundings. So I’m sending tnem to the laundry now.’’ BEN ZEEN. P. S.—A lady came in today with another good reason. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. DECATUR LAUNDRY “The Farr Way” — r — Barnes —O4 WHY NOT NOW? An honestly acquired SAVINGS ACCOUNT is worth more than its real money value. It gives the owner stability, confidence, self respect and credit.

It’s a neighbor-maker OVER in the bunkhouse the boys of the Bar-C outfit have Kansas City on the radio. In her Park Avenue apartment, the slim fingers of a famous actress turn the dials, and the same music leaps forth. Forty miles north of Milwaukee, Chris Jonsen, the dirt farmer, is listening in on the same wave-length. * » * - The same sort of thing is going on everywhere, all over the country, at all hours of the day and night. Folks in Los Angeles see the same movies, and ride in the same automobiles that New Yorkers enjoy. The resident of Seattle wears the same sort of clothes, eats the same brand of bacon, and lives in the same kind of house as his neighbor in Portland, Maine - $ Advertising has done it. Advertising, the miracle worker, keeps everyone in the land attuned to the latest in everything. It has changed the buying habits of a nation. It is the great modern force that makes neighbors of the people of far countries, that brings the best of their customs to us, and takes ours to them.
