Save up a dollar for a ticket to the democratic rally to he held here next month. It will be worth several times that to meet and hear the array of speakers to be cn the program. We are informed that plans for reopening the big mill here are going forward and that as soon a l * details are out of the way the officials of the Great Lakes Sugar Company will come here to complete local arrangements. No one i Is being employed yet nor will he until orders have been so received but this will come in a short while. Walter Holfmau. Monroeville, young man who killed his mother j and father recently and shot his brother, has been indicted for murder in Allen county. Unless it is established that he is of unsound mind. Hoffman will have difficulty n defending his terrible act. The rase will attract much interest over this part of the stale. Tile democrats of Adams county, at least a lot of them, are to get together here soon in a preprimary rally, when the old timers and the new timers will meet and cat and shake hands and listen to tile addresses of state and district leaders. It will be a happy event cs well as one of importance in • the 1332 campaign. Everybody likes the "Way Hack j When" sale now in progress here ; in a number of the leading stores of Decatur. There is no trick to this event. It is just the effort of the local merchants to convert j their large stocks into ' ash ami at prices which would have been considered bargains twenty years ago. You get all the' advantages in this sale if you buy. Jimmy Adams. Columbia City newspaperman, has officially announced his candidacy for congress. briefly slating his position as to the questions of importance. He has served three terms as democratic district, chairman, is abbami a successful business man, who has many irietids in each cotiuty of the new fourth and a real contender in the race. The bandits who robbed the Dunkirk bank a few months ago admitted in their testimony this week that ex-sheriff Ira Barton of Hartford City, now on trial at Portland, assisted them as an undercover man in this and a number of other crimes. Burton's friends insist that, testimony from such a source will not be harmful. Perhaps it won't but. certainly it doesn’t help a lot either.

Congress will Impose a manu facturer’s sales tax which of course the consumer will eventually pay, that is if he is lucky enough to consume any thing. Hesldes this there will he u boost In income, inheritance and gift taxV's raising a total of $1,241,000,000. Even In these tough times it never seems to occur to those statesmen that they could help by reducing overload The government employs more than a million men to do the work that one-third that number i ottld easily perform. Ii is claimed by Colonel Knox, head of the anti-hoarding campaign that every dollar hidden away represents from five to ten dollars in (red its. With something over a billion dollars being held in strong boxes and tin cans, we may readily see at least a part of the cause of the present depression. If that money was brought out and started on Us rounds of business, we would all be doing belter and feellug better. Greetings and congratulations to Theodore Grultker, newly elected i president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Graliker, who is cashier of the First State Bank is splendidly qualified for this important position and assisted by his board and the members of the organization, will, we are sure, make an excellent record. Mr. Graliker has for years taken an active part in civic affairs here and is most capable. The retiring president, Fred R. Ashbaucher served during a trying year. He has worked hard and lias accomplished much of importance. Tax payers are holding sessions in this and other counties of the state to insist on proper revaluation* of properties. This of course should lie done by those to whom Use duty is assigned and we believe will be. It should be remembered as these matters are being discussed that there are also some benefits in having tlie values some where near actual and that after all Uiat will or should be the ultimate results. The lower the valujulinns, the higher the tax rate, for the bills must be paid. Those townships in which improvements are likely to he made such as roads. I schools or public buildings of an) kind will find it easier to market bonds when the valuation is sufficient. These things should all enter into the discussions while we are trying to adjust the matter to the satisfaction of every one concerned. The same tiling is true of course as to town and city prop-j erty. ° J

; frames made from any odd pieces ! of lumber handy are very useful garden adjuncts, not only for protecting tlie soil for early seed sowing, but to set over perennials sensitive to winter wet and to bring up rhubarb a couple of weeks earlier than it would otherw*se appear. They are useful to tiring pansies. violas, and primroses into extra early bloom and likewise early daffodils or tupils if a supply for cutting ahead of the rrg-iiar anason is desired.

JAPAN TROOPS TAKE WOOSUNG; DRIVE FORWARD (CONTINUED FBO-Vt PAGE CNF' words long, made public by the Chinese legation here, charged that Japan lias planned, ever since Hie Russo-Japanese war. to seize Manchuria “whenever an opportune occasion arose.” It further alleged that Japan was violating Hie “open door" policy in Manchuria and had slain and curelly treated civilians in Shanghai. Japan's present operations at Shanghai were characterized in the statement as an attempt to show “her contempt -and indifference to the world's opinion with the purpose of convincing the Ch'pese that it was hopeless to appeal for outside help." Washington. Feb. 13. —(U.PJ —Despite Japanese assurances that their planes would not fly over the international settlement, tWo bom tiers passed over the American section at 9 a.m. today, ConsulGeneral Edwin S. Cunningham reported to the state department. State department officials would not indicate whether a protest Would lie made to Tokio. It was intimated the matter would be handled locally by authorities at Shanghai. When Admiral M. M. Taylor. American naval commander at Shanghai, recently protested to Japanese Admiral Normura against the dropping of two bombs in the settlement, the Jananese commander said he would like to be informed if any planes violated this agreement. It was expected that either Cunningham or Taylor would (all the present alleged violation to Nomuga's attention. Cunningham was informed of j the presence of the bombers over | Hie international settlement by j Col. R. S. Hooker, commanding ■ American marines. He telephoned j Cunningham that bombers number .’,42 and 343 passed over the American section three times about 9 a.m. today. Tokio. Feb. 13—(UJ?) — A plan to Invite other world powers with troops at Shanghai, to participate in the military campaign to drive the Chinese forces bark from that city was revealed today. This would Include British, American and French garrisons. A spokesman said following arrival of reinforcements in the war zone, the Japanese would invite the powers to take such concerted ; action. He said if they refused. I the Japanese would deliver an i ultimatum to the Chinese demanding they withdraw. Japan will act alone in driving Hie Chinese hack if the powers reject the plan and the Chinese insist on remaining as a “menace to Shanghai,” the spokesman added.

Itoyee is a single uuin and I ; kind o' think lie’s fond of her." "lai you happen to know old Bumpy Brown, the tinker wlm lives down on tlie lluequetteV “rih. everybody knows him! They think lie's Hie man who done the shooting down to Doolittle's." "You will remember that Humpy nought a pair of rubbers here a few days before the murder. Who sold them to him?" "Miss De Long." "Who bought rubbers of the same size about that time? •Tve been thinking about that. You know, lioliert Itoyee came ill the day after the tinker was here. Another man was with Itoyee. I didn’t know him. They were go- > ing into tlie woods. The stranger bought n raincoat They went over , to the hotel for their dinner. Liter Itoyee came back in a hurry. He wanted arctic overshoes, lie laid J on a pair of new rubbers. I knew | that lie laid bought ’em over at the oilier store, lie said that they pinched his feet. I took them off. The size mark was on the sole. It was tlie exact size and shape of tinpair that 1 sold to Humpy Brown. 1 thought of it when I heard about tlie lulilwr tracks of tin- murderer." , "Will you describe the man you call tlie stranger?” “He was a tali man with a freckled face and red hair und verybig ears.” This ended Hie conversation with Hubbard. “I am more than ever coavlaced i that we have been misled and that Bumpy Brown is not in the ease.” said Colonel Blake as they sat down to dinner. “A little more evidence will make me agree with you.” was Hie an swer of tlie judge. “I happen to j know that Itoyee lias a motive. I drew (lie will of his mother, who. as you know, is Mrs. Doolittle She leaves all her property —consider aide sum—to ln-r son Robert Itoyee." The colonel's face grew serious. "Yuli will remember from ins ics timony at Brown's examination that he has no alibi. We had In-lter say no more or this until the ground under our feet is a little* more solid Remember, shad, you mustn't know too much. Keep still till we have found our way." Shad promised to hold his tongue hut he could hardly conceal his eia lion over the clearing outlook for his friend tlte tinker. 'There !s one circumstance that must give us pause," said tlie judge. "The murderer did not seem so Ineager to kill Mrs. Doolittle. True, lie shot at her, hut. entering as In-. did. lie had to begin shooting at once and create a panic. He couldn’t hesitate then. A few seconds later lie had Ids chance to kill Mrs. Don little. He stood close in front of her with the revolver pointing at I her face. He could have killed her I then lint lie didn't shoot, lie struck her. She fell and fled out of his way." "Consider the psychological git mi ! lion,” the colonel began. “She was his mother. Apart from her he could plan tier death but. face to face with tin* woman who had borne him. he weakened, lie would have been glad to get nut of the house without killing hut lie couldn't.” "Well, we sliiill alt he the wiser In a week." tlie judge remarked as they arose front the table. They hired a team nt the livery stable and set nut for AshlU-ld anil Hie comity seat. They stopped »t Amity Dam to pick tip shad's clothing. then at the home of the lodge in Asltfield. The colonel was urged so spend the night there. “No, thunk you," lie answered "Fliad and I have got some business to do In the village before we take the evening train to Canton." J hey left their baggage at the hotel and discharged the team. They went to Itoyce's shop on tlie island, itoyee was not there. <*n Hie street a tradesman stopped them with interesting news. While fishing he had found a tan coat and overalls on tlie river shore below the bridge. Tlte colonel went to his store and took possession of them. It was undoubtedly tlie suit worn by Hie murderer. "Do you know whom it belongs to?" the colonel askwi. "No," was tlie answer. 'They say Robert Boyce wore a suit like that when lie worked in his hum.” They were out oil the street when Colonel Blake said to ins voting friend: “Bard, we have iwo hours before train time. You know, of course, that clothes are an important part

life on ibis planet. 2our grand new suit has been swum In. Its prl* tine purity has departed. The cruel I rusticity of Amity Dam Is on you. i Come with me and I will complete j your emancipation.' They went to a clothing store. "Here, sir, is a .voting friend of mine." Colonel Blake said to Hie genial clerk. "I wish yon to do , price idm of this Amity Damned appearance. Let us hurl economy i to the winds and go to work." \>vv clothes, shirts, collar*, neck j ties, underclothing, a derby hat and t a leather suitcase were carefully select When they left tlie store the colonel surveyed the boy with I admiration. “It is a perfect job.” be said. ! “Send Hie bill to me." They got new shoes at another I store and went to a barber shop, j There tlte colonel insisted Hint Shad 1 have a trimming aud a hath and I fresh underclothing. When they en | tered tlte colonel's bouse alsiut ! seven-thirty that evening Shad was : stepping proudly Mrs. Hinke emI braced him aud said that lie was handsomer Ilian ever. Tlte girl Ruth \ shook his hand. "1 am to la- kind but dignified to you." she “aid with a smile. “When I come again I think that I will wear green glasses." tlie boy answered. "Why?" “They will give you a kind of a sickly look and make it easy for | : me to lie have." The colonel and Mrs. Blake j iaaghed. betraying a note of aware- j ; ness. The girl sat down and begin fn i ' survey tlie boy. She vies impressed j Ivy his grandeur. He thought that | site was more bountiful than ever. I | and lie was right. "This liny lias done important j work in tlte ease of the People against Brown," tin* colonel said to i | his wife. "He and a young friend : have found tlie iiat and hundker | i chief that covered the head nnd face of the murderer, lie lias Jis covered oilier convincing evidence j | I aui to try to make a lawyer of ! him. It ought to be easy. This i I young chan lias a I most convinced I me that his friend Humpy Brown is | not tlie man we want." He told Iris wife of Shad's finds j and adventures. ® Mrs. Blake embraced the l*oy and I j congratulated him. i "You really are getting along," she said. The colonel was weary, lie arose presently- and suggested to his ! young friend Unit they go to tied, i Shad arose and said good night, j Tlie girl gave him a pleasant smile ! "How Grand You Lookl" as she answered. He thought that lie saw a note of disappointment in her eyes. The giri went with him Jo the foot of file suits and whispered with sweet encouragement in tier eyes: "How grand you look !’’ He went upstairs with the cobmel wlm showed him lo his room.
