I THE REQUIREMENTS. Contracts for 5,000 acres of land, t within a radius of ten miles of Deca- i tur, for the years 1«12 and 1913. Forty acres of land, railroad switches, water wells, furnishing 400, 000 gallons per day . SIZE OF FACTORY. A 750-ton plant, costing more than three-quarters of a million dollars, the j finest, most modern and complete plant in the world, to bo built and ready for operation by September 1, 1912. WHAT IT MEANS FOR ADAMS COUNTY. Another crop for the farmer, more profitable than any he has now. The bringing In of farm labor that will help in many ways. A million-dollar industry for Decatur and Adams county. The employment of from 200 to 300 men day and night during about four months of the year, from October Ist to February Ist. The employment of from thirty to fifty men the year around, besides the employment of from 500 to 1.000 peo- | pie in the fields. I The employment of 150 men in the I construction of the plant next spring i and summer. | The expenditure here of >200.000 I for the labor or building plant and ma- | terial needed. | A demand for houses for the em- | ployees, some of these at once. I The general improvement of the 1 city and country. | The distribution of several hundred | thousand dollars each fall to the farmlers who raise beets. A fall season of business unsurpassed anywhere. I An increase in the taxable property

of the county that will soon be notice1 able. 3 The maintaining of switching crews I-’t Decatur for the use of the plant during the campaign. The bringing together in business relations the farmer and the business man, one for all and all for one. The first beet sugar plant in Indiana, and the finest in the world. Do the farmers of Adams county ' want a beet factor, right here at home, i where they will be assured of a mari ket all the time for all the sugar beets they can raise? If they do they should not hesitate to sign the contracts which will be offered them within the next two weeks. Do the business men of Decatur want a million-dollar industry, the most modern and best equipped plant of the kind in the world? If they do they should not quit work a moment B during the next two weeks. The opportunity is within their grasp and it A is up to them and the farmers of this I locality. The booster has brought It ■ ta your door. Do your part now, ;f I you are a patriot and home-loving citi- ■ zen. U After several montns of work by local committees, after a dozen trips ol investigation through this county by the experts and by the men who will invest neiwly a million dollars here, It haft been announced that the HollandSt. Louis Sugar company of Michigan will locate a 750-ton beet sugar plant in or near Decatur, ready for operation next fall, provided the desired contracts for 5,000 acres of beets for 1912 and 1913 can be secured. The company is investing a fortune and it is but proper that the farmers as well as the business men of this locality pronik ise them their support, not only for one year but for just so long a time as the raising of this crop proves profitable. Investigation shows that after a farmer has raised beets one or two years he will continue to do so and it is along this line of thought that the contracts are made. Messrs. George E. Smith and E. M. Wagner, expert agriculturists, arrived from the St. Louis plant Saturdaynight, and this morning started to work securing contracts, it being | hoped that this work can be completI ed within two weeks. If they missed | you, drop a card to J. H. Heller, secreI tary, Decatur, and one of the men will ’ call on you. I Some three months ago the Holland- | St Louis company, incorporated for I $-’,800,000, decided to build a new sug- ' ar plant, in addition to the two they

already own—one at St. Louis and one at Holland, Michigan—and they began lan investigation for a site. At that I time a half-dozen places were in mind, but this gradually narrowed down to | 1 three —St. Mary’s, Ohio, and Bluffton I and Decatur, Indiana. The contest ■ between these cities, while friendly, ! was spirited and each made the best II showing possible. The reports by the 1 1 various committees and experts were I made last Tuesday at a meeting held ■ j at Holland, Mich., and Decatur was J selected as first choice, provided, of course, that we can meet the requirements. The financial matters, referring to the site, the water, the railroad switches and the other things which require an expenditure of money. will be looked after within a few dajs by a committee of business men.

Al this tint*, the all important question is the acreage, without which we lof course can do nothing. We are al) citizens of Adams county. Here is an industry that will help the farmer, will increase the value of his land, will make him more money than he has ever made, and will at the same time aid gredtly the business man. LET’S ALL STAND TOGETHER. Outside j agencies, if there are any, who, trying to prevent the location cf this factory j here, should be turned down coldly. I Come on boys, with your patriotism, not the wild iknd, but the business | kind. The raising of beets in Adams coun- ( ty is not a new thing, not a test, or ; this company would not be investing a fortune here. They have been rais-1 ed for several years successfully, and ; all of us have heard the marvelous , stories. Not. all who plant beets will be so fortunate, but it is at least anoth- i er crop as good as any you have. The proposition has reached that point where any question you care to ask will be promptly answered. The labor question will be taken care of by the company upon application, at the time you contract. The contracts now ready for signatures are fair to both the company and the farmer. Don't be j stubborn or fault-finding. The Holland-1 St. Louis company has been invest! gated and have proven that they are one of the best companies in the beet sugar business in the country, botii financially and in doing even more than they promise. It will be a satisI faction to have such a concern as i • part of us. This is no boom, but a solid and conservative effort to help - ourselves. Let no man shirk when J called upon.

The beet sugar business is comparatively young in the United States, having come over from Holland. Germany , and France, some twenty years ago. A dozen years ago, the state of Michigan started the crop in the middle west and that state now has sixteen factories, while Ohio has four. THE DECATUR PLANT WILL BE THE FIRST ONE IN INDIANA. It will put ' us on the map. The factory will be ready for opera * tion by September Ist, next, and will i operate about four months, employing from 200 to 300 men, night and i day. The construction of the piant will begin at once and will cause the expenditure of at least $200,000 in this I vicinity. It is estimated that not less I than half a million dollars will be paid out here for beets each fall after the ’ second or third year. From thirty to , fifty men will be employed in the sac-! tory the year around, and there will I be a number of field men. besides the I Bohemians who are brought into the | county each summer. These are a ' good class of people, who bother no- : body, and who thus furnish plenty of farm labor when they are needed Meetings will be held at various * school houses over the county and the farmer will be given any explanation he may desire. Decatur was cnosen as the site for the factory because of the class of | farmers surrounding us, the splendid > of this locality, the unexcelled | railroad facilities, the water, etc. 1 While the local committee was en-1 I deavoring to land the factory, they ! I circulated papers on which the farm-1 I ers signed an agreement to raise a certain number of beets. This was: done to prove to the company that our . people would take hold of such a prop-1 I osition and 3,600 acres were signed up I in four days’ time. Now these men are I asked to sign up real contracts, and ; they should not hesitate. Let’s be the most progressive county in Indiana. Old man Opportunity has knocked, j LET’S LET HIM IN. ATTENDS O. R. T. CONVENTION, j J. H. Cole, operator at the Erie *ow-' er, is still in New York City, where he ' is attending the convention of the O. j R. T„ heing held at that city. The delegates in attendance are from the Erie railroad, and each represents j their own district, Mr. ,Cole being of i the forty-second district, covering territory between Marion, Ohio, and Chicago, 111. The gathering is an impor-' tant one, and Mr. Cole considers him self lucky in being chosen as a dele- ( . gate. The funeral of Mrs. Edward Worth- ,

i man was held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the home of her parents.' Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mutschler, north o' , the city, and at 3 o’clock from the • German Reformed church, of which | the deceased was a faithful member . for many years. The Rev. L. C. Hes ' sert officiated. Mrs. Worthman’s ( death occurred Friday afternoon at ' her home in Kaukauna, Wis„ and the ! body was brought here Saturday aft -1 ernoon, being taken to the home of her parents north of the city. The brother, Albert, who had been in Colo-, rado, and for whose arrival the funeral : services were awaited, arrived home this morning, the date of the services thus being set for this afternoon. Mrs. Worthman, who was Miss Em-, ma Mutschler before her marriage, which took placets year ago, was one i

of the most beloved yMmg ladles of i the city, and untimely death has caused universal and deep sorrow. - ' r>—- — RESULTS WERE GOOD. Hundreds Attended Methodist Sunday School Rally. Sunday, October Bth, will be a memorable one for the Sunday school of i the Methodist church, when the actual I attendance for the day reached the ad- | vancod number of 514 pupils. Great ' effort had been made during the past | j week for the securing of all that, could , possibly be reached to take pare in the j regular classes of the day. The pastor and those in charge are well pleased ; with the result of their labor and feel j that they have accomplished a great ! work. Since a new zeal has been . planted in the minds of many, those i in charge will keep up their efforts i for the bringing together of a large I number on each Sunday. The rally services held at 10:30 were also an I inspiring sight, when a still larger number were present for the interesting program which had been prepared lot the day. — « ■!■■■» NEW BOX BALL ALLEY. The American Box Hall company ‘ has installed three of their new auto niatic alleys in the Morrison building jr.st south of the interurban station, and Saturday night for the first time they were opened to the public. The alleys are to be located here permanently and Charles R. Sutton, head of > the operating department, promises that they will be conducted on a very ' high plane so that ladies may share .'in the recreation with their husbands'

' and friends. Bowling is an invigorating and fascinating exercise and such a place properly conducted will, in a 1 great measure, furnish diversion and pleasure without the evil tendencies 1 of some kinds of amusements. The alley here will probably prove to be financially prosperous as it is the onlything of the kind now in operation . | here. I $ POLICE COURT NEWS. ” I A free-for-all scrap was pulled off 1 or. the corner of Third and Madison 1 streets late Saturday night by seven 1 | parties who are inclined to hunt trou-' | ble, and as a result they are keeping , pretty quiet to avoid the publicity of I the police courts. No affidavits have ‘ been filed as yet, but some action may i be taken in the matter. | . Policeman Melchi picked up a , tramp who was drunk on the streets i this afternoon, who had been bothering the residents of Third street, and later came up town and entered the 1 | Martin restaurant restaurant, appro- | priating several tomatoes. When arrested he had the tomatoes in hi pocked and Melchi forced him to take them I back. He was taken to jail and will be tried as soon as sober. | o A change in the Adams Express I company's agents took effect Monday I morning, when George Flanders, Who I for the past year has been connected : with the Conter Ice Cream plane, suci ceeds Guy Dorwin, who since the first of May has been acting in this capac- . ity. Although the change was anticipated for several days, it was not uni til this morning that active steps took I place and the change made. Mr. Dor- : win was checked out on last Saturday \ evening, and who during nearly the ! past five and one-half months has proven himself a competent man, carj ing for the business in a manner to

I the complete satisfaction of all coni' cerned. He resigns to accept a bet- , ter position and will at once com- | mence work at the Henry Schlickman j restaurant, where he worked some | time previous to accepting the posi- , tion he just resigned. Mr. Flanders, | who assumes his duties from now on, I just closed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the Confer Ice Cream plant, and it being mostly over with the passing of the hot weather, gives him an opportunity to take the new work. He is well qualified in this line, having years of experience in the postofhee concerning the incoming and outgoing of packages, which will aid him considerably toward becoming acquainted with the new work. , The same excellent work ,

, which lias been carried out by Mr. Dor- j ; win is assured the public with Mr. . Flanders, and he has already started off on this line. The transcript and papers in the j case of State ex rel. Mary E. Foster ’ I vs. Leroy O'Donnell, bastardy, were ! j received in the circuit court on a<p ! peal from the court of J. T. Ault, a ’ I justice of the peace of Jefferson town [ ship, where the defendant was found guilty. i Julius Haugk, Albert Hudson, David E. and Ethel Smith, Bernard J. I Terveer and Wilhelmina Holthouse 1 I have filed petition to vacate the alley | , running east and west at the rear of their lots, which front on Madison, street. |

Saturday afternoon near Monroe I street a dog uncermoniously ran up , to Andrew Krumenaker aud bit him I severely in the calf of the leg. He was on the way to town and was passing a lady, when the dog, presumably hers, ran from the street and attacked the old man, who, being unable to protect himself from the active animal, was forced to call for help. Pedestrians drove the dog u'om turn and assisted him to a nearby store, where the I wounds inflicted by the animal’were examined and treated. From the knee down the marks of the dog’s teeth were plainly discernable, having penetrated the flesh, creating a painful and dangerous wound. Fearing that the dog might be mad the wound was treated a: once and although it is proving very painful no worse results are anticipated. By t’ e t':ne t h e of Mr. Knime- ■ nakr-'s Inl'flcs could be learned the dog had disappeared and no trace of j it could be found, although it is known to whom the dog belongs. Steps to have the animal killed will probably be taken as it is a menace to every i pedestrian. P. M. FULK IN RUNAWAY. | P. M.,Fulk anil son, John, living near Honduras, this county, w'ere in a runaway Saturday, while enroute to Bluff ion. Their horse frightened and Mr. Fulk jumped, escaping injury. The storm curtain prevented the son from jumping, and he was drawn through a barbed wire fence with the buggy. About two weeks ago he had the ends of two fingers on the right hand cut off and these were healing, but wer , bursted open in the accident of Saturday, causing much pain.

BOX SOCIAL FRIDAY NIGHT. i ( Ray Smith, teacher at Washington school. No. 3, five miles southwest of i Decatur, announces a box social to be held next Friday evening, October 13. Everybody invited and everybody j who goes will surely have a good time. The message of the death of Miss ‘ Ada Fuhrman, a former Decatur girl. I daughter Os Mr. and Mrs. David Fuhrman, of Monroe, will come as a greivous sorrow to her many friends here. Her death occurred Saturday evening at 6 o'clock at Colorado Springs, Colo., where she had been the past year, going west for her health. For some time she had suffered from leakage of I the heart, and a western trip several years ago improved her so much that i a year ago last September 30th, in company with Miss Ruby Sheets of this city, she went west again, the two young ladies conducting a rooming . house at Colorado Springs. The last trip west did not improve her health as it should, and a week ago she be- , came ill with blood clot on the brain, paralysis developing Thursday, reducing her entire left side to helplessness. Her brother, Wilda, who had been at Reno, Nevada, was called to her, arriving there Thursday, and was with her when she passed away The message that came Sunday to the parents at Monroe stated that Wilda expected to leave that night at 10 o’clock with his sister's body, and would arrive at Monroe Tuesday noon over the G. R. & I. railroad. Funeral arrangements had not yet been mrrde. but the funeral will probably be held Wednesday or Thursday at the church in Monroe, the Rev. D. O. Wise of this city and the Rev. Payne officiating. Miss Fuhrman was born in this county twenty-nine years ago last November 14th, and the greater part

of her lire was spent here. During her early years her parents resided in this city, Ada receiving her education here. Later the family moved to their farm south of the city, and about a year ago to Monroe, where they now reside. Miss Fuhrman was a girl ol many fine qualities, jolly and cheerful, and was beloved by all who knew her. Besides her parents, she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Iva Danner, of Cambridge City; four brothers. Nelson Fuhrman of Union City, Harry, of Otsego, Michigan; Ira, at home, and Wilda of Reno, Nevada. Miss Fuhrman was a granddaughter of Henry Fuhrman, residing north of the city, and has many other relatives here. Monroe, Ind., Oct. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —On last Saturday ciI gars were promiscously handed out io ; all smokers of Monroe and vicinity, all on account of a fine, brand new ' daughter which arrived at the home |of Rural tßoute Carrier James An i drews, at 5 o'clock Saturday morning. I Jim was seen early on that day wear- | ing an unusually large smile, and when asked as to the cause of such a pleasing countenance, answered, "It’s a big black-haired girl—have a cigar."
