Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative Another week and another chance to make good. Its a tough course bu: that makes it the more encouraging if you can make headway. Those who try hard enough and keep at it will get over the hill. Make this your best week. Don’t be confused by the word inflation now being used in so many Washington dispatches. For a long time about every thing has been deflation and now the administration realizes that to meet that there must be inflation which means higher prices, more labor, gseater pay rolls and a dollar that will reach farther. When that conies every one will notice an improvement in conditions. A representative of a company which owns several hundred farms in the widdle west is authority for the statement that they are having more inquiries lor Adams county farms than for those in any other county in the territory which embraces a radius of a hundred miles. We believe this will be the first) county in this part of Indiana io recover and that real estate values are lower now than they will perhaps ever be again. Our heartiest good wishes, together with the most sincere welcome from every one in this community is extended to Rev. C. P. Gibbs, who yesterday assumed his pastorate of the local Methodist church and these expressions of good will of course include all the members of the family. We are sure they will like Decatur and that Decatur will likt them and we hope the years spent here will be not only happy but profitable, in the accomplishment of much good. Easter with its glorious settings and wonderful services was observed in this city and county yesterday with special sermons and music n every church. There was a larger aveqrge attendance than for many years and there was a happiness about it all that is refreshing to those engaged in the church work. There should be a continued interest for the church like everything else for it has had a difTicnl' time the past few-years and only by the aid of the members and friends, can they attain that place which makes it possible for them to do the work possible and desired.

Indiana. Special Judge Kister who heard the trial extending over a period of many months Saturday granted the appeal as prayed. The case is important with many ob- ;! jectors to‘ the improvement as ordered and the attorneys representing the remonstrators will make J every effort to have the decision '■' reversed The brief will be the 1 most voluminous ever prepared ; here and will require inapy weeks of work. Citizens in Adams, Jay and Wells county. Indiana, and in ! Mercer county, Ohio, will await with much genuine interest the outi come of this legal battle. Another week or ten days will wind up the job business with the state administration. It has been a difficult job to reorganize the various departments so the McNutt administration can proceed to make good on the promises and on the plans. It must be remembered that with forty thousand people seeking three thousand jobs, a large number m list be disappointed. There is no way to avoid this that we know of aud every candidate should realize that while those in charge have tried to be helpful and kind, they must after all decide, often between aspirants equally I qualified and deserving. The boys must be good sports. Secretary Miesses organization is performing an important public service in presenting the tax delinquency data to township officials. A statement by counties shows what has happened in the last two years and should enable a prudent official to make an intelligent estimate of what is likely to be the result this year. The situation varies greatly in different counties, and there is no excuse for delusions as to any one's own county after reading the record. The variations in delinquencies range last year from 4.1 to 45.7, with the average for all counties in the state 17.8 per cent of the totals levied. It is interesting to know that tire smallest percentage of overdue taxes was found in such strictly agricultural communities as Decatur county, where the record of 4.1. It was only 4.4 in Jackson. The showing was most creditable in Bartholomew, Montgomery, Boone. Rush. Adams, Franklin, Hendricks and many others depending largely on agriculture. It is interesting that the unpaid taxes in Marion were only 9.3, the low-I est in any county, having a large city or industrial center.—lndianapolis Star. — o - ♦ — ■ 4 1 Household Scrapbook —By— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ——* Umbrella Handle The loose handle of the umbrella can be tightened if the cavity is tilled with melted alum aud the stick pressed into it quickly.

WATERPROOFING CELLARS Anyone who proposes to build, buy, or rent a house should consider the possibility of water aud dampness in the cellar.

Moisture and darkness favor mildew, molds, decay, and putrefaction; moisture also hastens the corrosion lengthens the life of houses, furnishings aind plumbing, and increases conditions in the home; promotes personal comfort and health, of metals.
