Advertising Rates made Known on Application National Advertising Representatives SCHEERRE, INC 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The udlana League of Home Dailies "Another payless payday for Chicago school teachers” reads a headline and the paragraph, "a pleasant time was had by all" could have been added we presume. One good thing about a tariff bill is that we never know what its going to be until its finished nor just how it will work until wc try it five or ten years. Maine has a “wet" candidate for United States senator, first in s hundred years it is claimed, at least the first who has had the courage to openly state his views. He is Dugard B. Duwar and he will no doubt "du war” if he gets any where in that oldest dry state on such a platform. The Chicago police arrested 917 doubtful character* over the weekend but most of them were given light fines or sentences or released because of no previous record. Any way they seem to be dragging in the nets and if they keep it up may land some of the real “lobsters.” We come to another birthday anniversary, that of the great emancipator, A brail am Lincoln, than whom no patriot of the past holds a greater place in the hearts of his countrymen. The great Civil war president lived a life different than any other executive, won a battle worth while and his memory lives on. The Federal drive for violators of the prohibition laws is reaching out now and grabbing off not only a number of prominent citizens but likewise some corporations of the nuyor league. The list of the past few <;ays includes a number of chemical companies and a yeast manufactory, well-known by those who read national advertising. The results ought to prove interesting, Xis well to remember that the sfflason is near when the highways are always damaged more than at any other time of year. When tiie macadam roads get soft one overload ruins miles of the crown and cause the unit in which they are located to spend thousands of dollars to rebuild them or the county to expend large sums for -epairs. It should be the desire of every one to avoid this. ■ H. Knapp# Son Deculur's Authorized Rudiola and Hariiolron Dealer. The Schafer Co Decatur, Indiana Radiolron Wholesale Distributors.

The craft is the steel barkenttnc yacht . i intrepid, being constructed for Walter Patten Murphy of , j New York. » ■ ♦ If Secretary Stimson succeeds in his efforts to abolish the submarine he will have banished from future wars one of the worst Instruments of death ever known. In the recen World War it played sad havoc with hundreds of soldiers and citizens, many of them not engaged in the /rar and had much to do with drawing America into the conflict. The free dinner to be given by the Decatur industrial Association is something new but should prove a popular inovation. A free ticket will be sent to each member and if you wish to take wome one else you can do so for fifty cents. The program will be one of those planned to instill enthusiasm and numerous questions of more or less moment to your community will be thoroughly talked over. In Wabash county a check has been completed by the assessor and he found that over two hundred car owners had not turned in their cars for taxes. The check was made by comparing the tax record with the list of those who applied for licenses, which looks very simple. Now these delinquents are being urged to come in and make good witli the county treasurer. Farm relief seems to be more of a joke now than ever. The commission appointed by the president is still “commissioning" and their brothers are putting the burdens on the farmers harder than ever with the new tariff bill. Some day the agriculturists will awaken to the fact that those who control the government selfishly will never really help them. Only when you have a congress made up from and of the people will you feecure genuine relief legislation, and don't fool yourself about that. We have mentioned extraordinary i eturns from sugar beet crops in this territory which might mean much or little but J. W. Callan!, manager of the local plant has compiled a record of results from three hundred farmers in the district which should prove the possibilities. That shows and average yield of 9.31 tons per acre and an average cash return of $71.05 per acre. Deducting the hand labor expense the neat sum of $48.05 per acre was left to these farmers. On the same farms the

average yield of corn was forty bushels per acre and sold at 70c netted $28.00. There is no reason why most farmers should not raise beets and this is an excellent year to start it. Charles Evans Hughes who is to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States has always been an unusually hard student. It is claimed that he had read all of Shakespeare's works before he was eight years old, that lie graduated from high school when fourteen years old and from college at nineteen. Since then he has been a constant student and an indefatigable worker in whatever he was doing. He completed the law course in Columbia in two years, taught Latin, Greek «and mathematics in old Deleware academy and if education has any thing to do with it, seems splendidly fitted for the high office he now enters upon. o Get the Haul,—l rane at some
