One week from tomorrow is election day and every citizen who has the right to do so, should vote. The final week of the campaign is on. You owe it to yourself and your community to check up the record of the candidates and their claims. Attend It he meetings and post yourself on the issues, its a very Important election. Democratic meetings at beadquarters are scheduled for Thursday and Friday evenings of this week with a closing meeting next Monday evening. You are invited to participate in these and to assist in getting out the vote on election day. We have never known a cleaner campaign than this one which is as it should be. Sp far as we have heard not a mean word has been said by the opposing candidates. As the campaign draws to a close we are sure it will be free from the bitter flings that have marked some contests in the past. A good fire department, a splendid city plant, low rates, taxes and other costs, good Streets well lighted, factories operating and providing work for men and women, officials working constantly for the best interests of the community That makes a good city and Decatur has it all. These are things to (think about when you go in to vote Tuesday of next week We regret exceedingly the decision of Ferd E. Christen to resign as agricultural agent for Adams county. He has served twenty months in that capacity and has made good. He has created a kindly feeling between his office and the farmers by demonstrating his capacity for work and his de sire to be of service. He is a high type of man and we hope and predict for him all kinds of success in his new position with Allied Mills, Inc. Poor old man Fall, tyhat a mess he has made of his life. Successful in business and in politics, he reached tlie point where he was worth a million and was selected as a member of President Harding's cabinet. And then he attempted to “bite the hand that fed him.” He deserves punishment of course, but everybody will regret Ithat he permitted himself to be drawn into a deal which looks as unwarranted and detestable as he ba* been charged with and convicted of. Every one here ought to feel happy that by good management the City debt has been paid or funds provided for the conipleg.:pn of that job. And it has been done while progress was being made in many ways. We nowboast one of the finest power and light plants of the middle west, lowpower. light and water rates and we have tlie promise of the democratic candidates of still further reductions. We have a mighty fine city and we owe the administration a vote of confidence next week. We arc constantly learning something new. We notice by dispatches from Washington that the million reindeer in Alaska have ceased to be wards of the United States bureau of education and are to be looked after by the government of Alaska. Now what in the same hill do you suppose

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Fort Atkinson, Wis., — (UP) — Alvin Ebershol, Fort Atkinson far- • mer, recently found a watch in his ■ field which he had lost £4 years 1 ago. the Idea of our statesmen and law ■ makers was to ever place the reini deers up In that country in charge of i a bureau of education? We give it 1 up so don't ask us to answer it. I -ILHU —MSC The present council, four of whom are asking re-election, work together for the best interests of the city. Os course each has his own opinion but they talk matters over in a business way, thus securing best results. The splendid record of the past few years Is the best evidence we know of that they are capable. Mr. Appelman, who is the ony candidate not on the council at present is a high grade, clean business man who will assist in every way he can tio continue the present splendid administration. Mrs. Alice Christen and Mrs. Ada Martin, democratic candidates for clerk and treasurer are capable and deserving ladies, who will serve you each day the next four years, it elected, with every desire to please the citizens of Decatur. Mrs. Christen Is a granddaughter of D. O. Jackson, who served as city clerk a number of years and Mrs. Martin is a granddaughter of one of the founders of this city, Mr. Johnson. They know and love Decatur and wish to assist officially in the management of the city. Interesting city campaigns are on in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Muncie, Gary, Evansville and Terra Haute, but you would never guess it from the newspapers. For some reason or other this event which usually fills colupins of space is not being given editorial mention and only casual space in the news section. Seems funny but in Indiana you may expect most any kind of a (turn politically. It is reported that the contests in each of the cities named as well as in others usually republican are expected to be "hoss” races this year. o ► MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.

FORMER DECATUR CITIZEN RELATES FIRE EXPERIENCE ,< t>VHM ED FHOM I’K.i: ONE) in northwestern Idaho. Our camp was about fifty feet from the copper poat or monument which mars the border line of the United States and British Columbia and tor two days we fought in Canada as the fire was burning In Canada as well as In the U. S. The Canadians also had a camp about a mile from where our camp was, but they did not seem to be very good fire fighters, but they were all drafted to fight, and that, I suppose, is the reason. Fire fighting is very dangerous work at times and at other times it is easy as there is nothing to do except to patrol the traits after the fire is surrounded. At one fire there were three thousand men working and we cut a trail thirty-six miles around the fire. I was felling trees and sawing wind falls most of the time, and when you pack a cross cut saw and sledge hammer and a couple of wedges and a double bitted axe all dav up trails where a goat could not go, it is sure some work. All our grub was hauled up in trucks as far as they could go, then taken by pack horses as far as they could go and the rest of the way by men with pack sacks on their back. For twenty-one days I did not sleep in a bed, but had to sleep wherever 1 could which was either the ground or the soft side of a rock. Our grub was the best to he had, but the cooks were can opener cooks who could not boil water" without burning it. So we had to eat mostly canned stuff. Each man had a cloth sack tied to his belt and in that he carried what grub he needed during the day. You could take anything you wanted and as much as you wanted in cans. There was an Irishman and I together and we cached away quite a number of cans of berriee, peaches, jams and pickles and other canned goods so we would not have to be Easy! Quick! Glycerin Mix For Constipation Simple glycerin, buckthorn bark, saline, etc., as mixed in Adlerika, relieves constipation in TWO hours! Most medicines act on only lower bowel, but Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing poisons you never thought were in your system. Just ONE spoonful relieves GAS, sour stomach and sick headache. Let Adlerika give stomach and bowels a REAL cleaning and see how good you feel! Smith, Yager & Falk, Druggists.

They woqld smash the cans until they would burst and then oat the jam. but they would not touch a can that had pickles or anything sour in it. How do you suppose they could tell a can of pickles from a can of sweet stuff? Wall they can because the sour cans would not be disturbed or even moved but they would sure smash the sweet ones.
