The candidates on the democratic ticket are "out to solicit your vote on election day, November sth and with four weeks to work in expect to see practically every voter In the city and that's proper. If an office is worth having its worth working for. The candidates have an excellent rec* ord back of them and will be able to convince any fair minded person that they deserve their earnest support. Senator Sheppard, of Texas, author of the eighteenth amendment is demanding an amendment to the Volstead act making it unlawful to purchase liquor which probably is just a polite slap at some of his colleagues, following the accusation by Senator Brookhart that in parties held in leading hotels in Washington all they had to do was to slip their hand down under the table cloth and by some magic means a drink of pre-war whiskey in most any form desired was waiting there. ..'-'.BL Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain is pleading that the nations of tlie world "gird our loins for peace” which is much pleasanter than to hear men as great as he crying about girding for war. The world wants peace and needs it for a century qr two to come and any ong who wisely argues and works toward that end is making a hit with most of the folks who form the real strength of this and every country. We gain nothing but trouble and sorrow and losses by war and we hope it ends permanently if every amunition manufacturer in the country has to seek other means of earning a livelihood. _■!!!—L . —wChicago bandits are original. They do things different. Sunday morning they walked into Palm Gardens, a road house, fired a dozen shots and took possession. They made the orchestra play lively music, gave the guests fancy drinks, conducted a beauty contest and gave the winner $25 and for two hours enjoyed life. Then they climbed in their taxies and waved good bye. The crowd rushed out and started to follow but the bandits had taken care of that emergency by wrecking the ignition system in each car. Well, if the bandits must “band" the road houses are the places for them to work. Os course we feel sorry for Albert Fall, aged cattle man who was so highly respected that he was appointed Secretary of the Interior by the late President Harding. That was evidently his downfall for he tried to slip a fast one over on Uncle Sam and got caught. Now sick almost to death he is again facing trial in the supreme court pf the District of Columbia on a charge of bribery. We say we are sorry for him but his own acts brought him disgrace and humiliation and like any other criminal he must face the music for the law wbeu rightfully administered does not differentiate between those of high or low degree. Detailed figures from the census of manufacturers have just been made public in Washington and Adams county rales in this along with counties several times as large. The census it should be remembered is two years old and during that time we have increased rather than diminished. The report shows the annual

value of manufactured products in this county to be $10,097,881. Some idea of how we stand may be had by comparison. The same report gives Jay county a total pf $5.662,?00, Wells county $3,756,987 and Blackford SB,976.798. This county has a total equal or about so to Huntington, Kosciusko and others with twice the population. The reports shows 1,291 employed here aud a total wage of $1,243,000. ajasj." _lj ,i~. Decatur will evtend a hearty and sincere welcome to the boys of the 139th Field Artillery when they meet in annual reunion here next October. Company A formed here early in the World War and was a part of the 139th which was organized as the Fourth Indiana Infantry and later changed to the artillery unit. It was composed of a great bunch of boys and most of them are still living aud will enjoy their welcome here if they come to next year's reunion. C. O. Porter of this city was honored at the meeting recently held in Indianapolis by being chusen as president aud he will have the cooperation of every organization and citizen here to make the event a successful one. 1 "'“BL . . The adjustment of insurance rates here is another victory for the administration in Decatur. Mayor Krick and his council, together with Superintendent Mylott and Haruff have worked several years to meet the demands of the rating bureau with the result that very substantial decrease in rates has finally been secured. These are not easy things to accomplish and come only when the officials desire to secure the very best along every line for those they serve. Os course that's what they should do but sometimes officials neglect those things which require effort and follow the course of least resistence. That ( is not the case here under the present administration. We are running along smoothly.

MINNIE ROBERTS "For years I suffered from constipa : tion.” said Mrs. Minnie Roberts, 668 Virginia street, Gary, Indiana. “I had dizzy spells that almost blinded me. Indigestion was another trouble and after each and every meal came gas, bloating and intense pain. I was greatly discouraged over my inability to find anything to relieve me and had just about given up hope. “I heard abput Konjola and what it had done for others and decided I to give it a chance. To my surprise I I found in three bottles of this medipine such great relief and improvement that I reallzedd that I had found the right medicine. Two mure bottles put my liver, bowels and stomach In perfect shape and as the poisons were eliminated I could feel my old health returning. No wonder Konjola is called the master medicine of them, all-’’ Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns i throughout this entire section.
