With many signs pointing to a depression or at least a levelling off, as G.O.P. leaders are prone to cal! it, prices continue to rise on just about all commodities. Some one may come up with an answer soon. Let us all hope so. * o -o—— Big crowds have visited the Decatur business sections, both uptown and on the highway bypass this week. The answer to these amazing crowds is simple. Decatur merchants appreciate the confidence that thousands of shoppers have in their -stores, and to say an appropriate thank you, they continue to give shoppers the best merchandise at the lowest prices. You'll be the winner if you shop in Decatur. o o—We are not a heralder of patent medicines, but we are a strong believer in daily use of vitamins. There is no doubt that the little pills and capsules have some beneficial results. They give many of us some of the much needed benefits which come from a balanced diet which we don't adhere to. They build strength by being a substitute for vegetables and other foods which we don’t eat enough of. They are not a cure-all, but they do help you to build resistance and if you check with your neighbors you will find that the daily users of vitamins have fewer colds of less severity. A few vitamins taken regularly are a good tonic and this fact is not disputed by prominent local doctors'. o——o It won't be long until candidates for the various county and state offices will be making announcement of their intentions. Primary elections should be taken seriously. They are the time when officials who have failed in their duties should be weeded out. It is a time when loyal party people can vote against whom they feel is not entitled to continue in office and still be loyal to the faith of their party and its principles. The Primary, if not abused, is a great election. It makes for strength in our system of government and should be considered a great privilege—selecting those who will represent our party, whichever it is, in the coming general election. Democrats should vote in the Democrat primary and Republicans should vote on the Republican primary. Fall elections, are the time to switch, if not satisfied with the party principles and primaries

are set up so that each pajrty may select its strongest candidates. ——o o—— The negro integration problem in schools of the southern states goes unsolved. After ten days of knowing that Russia has launched a successful satellite, no action has been taken whereby United States could catch up. World War II has been over for more than ten years, and the Korean Crisis has been completed a long time. - Nothing has been done to relieve us of high taxes. These are some of the Inactions laid at the door of the present administration. Some times a citizen wonders if it isn't about time to have some new political parties which will guarantee action, and bring us some tax relief. It is one thing to make all sorts of promises and another thing to fulfill these promises. ——o- —o The Indiana highway conspiracy case continues in an Indianapolis court and probably it will take at least two weeks before all of the evidence is presented. Those ill-famed names of Craig, Sherwood and Sayer, beneficiaries of the last Republican administration have not even been mentioned in news stories and the small fry is having to sweat it out. o o— —— Few Decatur parades of any size have been conducted in the last twenty years without the leadership of William Bowers and he''has agreed to marshall the Callithumpian parade again this years, thus assuring participants and spectators of a great parade. It is important that to be successful the line of march start on time and be kept moving. Punctuality and smoothness are the secrets of the Bowers’ success and everyone is glad that the prominent Decatur man has again agreed to take over for one of Decatur’s biggest annual affairs. ♦ —O o— Commercial and industrial business failures are reported down for last week, according to the statistical department of Dun and Bradstreet, which is good news because it reflects a steadying attitude of business. If the levelling off can be slowed down and consumers again start making purchases the entire financial structure of the nation will improve, and certainly that’s what we want.

BEANS DELIVERED BY HORSE-DRAWN WAGON ' IB * ; IjgMMEMMiiWk r ■"-« ffBBBBMBB r \ - I 1 1 il 'T i Mb v \ >"x ** # v I ffl AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE at Central Soya company during the current bean season was the appearance of James Harkless, above, a farmer from north of Decatur, whb brought in two loads of beans in a horse-drawn wagon. This is believed to be the first time horses have ever been used to haul beans to the local plant. Company officials stated that, although the usual long line of waiting trucks is not in evidence this year, a steady flow of trucks is being unloaded in Decatur. The company is running through 500 to 600 trucks a day, which means that close to 200,000 bushels of beans are coming in every 24 hours. Quick service is being offered to the truckers. In the majority of cases, there is little or no waiting in line. Company spokesmen said that this was due to well-trained, experienced operators who can weigh and dump a truck in minimum time. Unloading is a well-planned operation which has been perfected by years of experience, it was pointed out. MN Good quality beans are coming in, it was added, and the bean crop is bigger than had been predicted. The good weather during the past few weeks has made up for the difficult spring. The beans, according to the report from Central Soya, are being trucked to the local plant from points 50 to 60 miles distant from Decatur. They are arriving from such places as Richmond, Logansport, and Hartford City, and from various parts of Ohio.

Have yo uj readers ever wondered how cheerleaders selected? week has been: the time for; choosing the* cheering staff 5

at MHS. How was the procedure handled? Well, thanks to the Monmouth student council, the school has finally adopted a plan. —M.H.S.— The first qualification of the procedure is eligibility. Candidates must have and maintain passing grades in all subjects. Varsity cheerleaders are chosen from candidates representing grades 9-12 while reserve leaders are selected from stiMents enrolled in grades 911. The second qualification is experience. During the school year 1957-58 at least one Vnember of the varsity leaders must be experienced. Then beginning next year twothirds of the group must have served previously. - M.H.S.— Tryouts for yell leaders were held on different, days — Tuesday for the varsity and today for the reserves. Both were held on a group and individual basis. Students eliminated in the varsity election had a chance to tfy out for j the reserve team, if they were not seniors. ' - M.H.S.The voting was on an individual basis for both groups. No teams were listed on the ballots. The three candidates receivihg the most votes in the varsity balloting will be the varsity leaders. The six, students having the highest number of votes in the balloting for reserve leaders will then become the second team leaders. Dividing themselves into two teams, the reservists will work at alternate games. TJ»e elections are over, blit at i • *

press time the tabulations are incomplete. Counting of ballots was done by the student council under the supervision of the principal. Next week's column will present a who's who of the nine Eagle "pepsters.” —M.H.S.— The basebaU and cross-country seasons are closing now so all thoughts are focused on "Old King Basketball." As Monmouth's hopefuls race around the gym these days doing theft calisthenics, the fans and students wonder just who will make up the aU important first string line-up. Coach Clinkenbeard has been delayed in making his decision because of the flu epidemic. Any day now there will be the great announcement. -M.H.S.You are missing quite an interesting display of you haven't seen the artistic leaves and Mexican peasants on the bulletin board in the typing room. The juniors have had their first opportunity to do some artistic typing and they are quite enthusiastic about it. Very nice work! -M.H.S.And speaking of typing—Beverly Fuelling is a whiz. In her first timed writing she typed 48 words with one error. This is really excellent work for a junior. —M.H.S.— The junior Christmas card sale continues at a great rate. Another truck loaded with orders arrived Monday. The nicest bargain of the display is an “all occasion” package which contains 50 cards for 81. Take advantage of this "special” when a junior salesman comes to your house. -M.H.S.Most teenagers love automobiles, especially flashly ones. Out at Monmouth one sees quite a variety of models and colors. Car of one week belongs to Duane “Charlie" Lee, who is sporting a 1949 brown and white convertible. It shows its age but it really rolls Duane to school in great style. —M.H.S.— Probably the latest “vehicle” to receive attention is the sleek new school bus (No. 4) from Preble township driven by Richard Miller.' It is the pride of 54 pupils who take an hour’s ride on it every morning and evening. The passangers aboard this bus should keep snug and warm this winter, Mrs. Meyers, the fourth and fifth grade teacher has a new look for her room. Thirty six desks and chairs really set off the spacious room. The children appreciate the furniture and wish to thank the school board for this addition. —M.H.S.—
