The Decatur vacation Hilda school will conclude tomorrow evening with appropriate exercises at the Lincoln school. Members of the school will demonstrate their work itud Rev. Feller will lead a musical entertainment. O—O That political campaign now on in England seems to be a regular old fashioned, rough and tumble affair, similar to some we have had in Indiana. Every thing is being tuesed on the table and the people will decide. O—O It may seem a little early but to make sure of deliveries, the post office department is urging that Christmas packagee for the boys overseas be gotten ready for mailing between September 15th and October 15th. Weight and size are the same as last year, not more than five pounds and packages no longer than fifteen inches. —O~-O-—~~ We join hundreds of people of the community in hopes that tha injuries received by Pt'c. Merrill Johnson may not he as serious as reported. Merrill is a graduate of the Decatur high school and has served ovenseas three and a half years with an excellent record. The report from the war department says he was "seriously wounded" on Okinawa, April 29th. —o 4 Be considerate, kind and helpful to the veterans as they retu n home from the long war. Many of them have been through terrible ordeate. They have dreamed of home and the postwar period, but they will be unsettled and their old pursuits will seem strange. Help them get their feet on the ground. It will require time and

patience on their part and ours. They have done a great service and we owe them much more than a hand-shake and a brush-off. _o—u Sgt. Harold F. Fuelling gave his life for his country May 18th, the been notified by the war department. In the armed service more than four years, Sgt. Fuelling had won recognition as a brave outstanding soldier. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fuelling and his other relatives have the sympathies of many friends. Another splendid Adams county young man has been added to the long list of Adams county heroes. His death occurred in the battie on Luzon. O—o The city of Van Wert is mad because a state inspector has ordered their city hall immediately vacated and the building razed. The report says the walls are unsafe. An appeal has been filed and the city authorities there will refuse to comply with the. order, it is said. The battle for Okinawa ha<? cost this nation nine billion dollars and thousands of lives of our brave boys. Many thousands of others have been wounded there. It’s a great cost but it will soon be over ami will be a big step towards ultimate victory. We cannot let

those men down. Buy an extra bond as often as you can. —o \ Don't Complain: “There are those now engaged, in telling the American people what a terrible time we have had during this war, reminding us of how we have suffered and seeking to convince us that this is all unnecessary, due wholly to bad management. It k> an easy line to take. The war period has been filled with irritations and discomforts. But for those who have not had the agonized suspense that goes with having children overseas in uniform, the awful shock of the news that loved ones have been killed or maimed, this has been a very easy war in most respects. It has been a period of prosperity. Business l ouses have done well. Farmers have paid off mortgages. Workers have received high wages. Professional men liavc collected excel-
