About 100 Republicans from Hancock county will attend the Republican state convention at Indianap1 "*)lis next Wednesday and Thursday,
April 22d and 23d.
The effort of the Progressive party to prove that it is not declining is so vigorous as to arouse suspicion. If there is no indications of a decline, why be so much concerned on the subject?
The tide from the Progressive and Democratic parties has set in toward the Republicans. The Republican vote next fall will demonstrate the fact 1 hat the party of Lincoln and McKinley can come back. It still commands the confidence of the people.
The financial management of the Democratic party in state and nation is a dismal failure. Always denouncing extravagance and urging economy, it is never able to establish business methods that will enable the revenues to pay the expenses. As a business proposition, the Democratic administration is no good.
The prospects for building in Greenfield for the coming season seem to be good."-'The prices of lumber are much cheaper than they have been for years.
Frank M. Adams, secretary of the Progressive com mil tee of Parke county. Indiana, has resigned, and allied himself with the Republican parly, and will be a delegate to the Republican State convention. The return tide continues to increase, and the vote next fall will be a record-breaker for Republicans.
There can be no good argument made in behalf of the saloon as a business institution. The argument most frequently heard is that it is better than the blind-tiger. But the blind-tiger is not necessary in the absence of the saloon. A little care in the enforcement of the blindtiger laws will soon put them out of business.
If the Mayor of Muncie, who was elected mayor in 1913 as a Progressive is a traitor, what is Governor Johnson, of California, who, elected as Governor of that State by the Republicans, became, while still holding that office, a Progressive candidate for vice-president? There were hundreds of other men prominent in the Progressive party two years ago, who had been beneficiaries for years of the Republican party. If the Mayor of Muncie is a traitor, so are those men.
Commercial fertilizer is growing more popular with the farmers. It is coming into common use, both in planting corn and sowing wheat. It is not that the farmer thinks any the less of fertilizing with barn manures and clover crops, but because he does not have enough of that kind of fertilizer to keep up the fertility of the soil. It pays for the farmers to feed as much of their crops to stock on the farm as possible. Even then they will have to supplement with commercial fertilizer if they keep up the fertility of their farms.
A prominent and influential business man of Greenfield said a few days ago that he doubted the propriety of the government owning the telephones and telegraph systems. He said if it did undertake government ownership of public utilities, the business would have to be controlled on a better business basis than the postoffice department is. He thinks there is a flagrant waste of money in the management of the postoffice department. Someone has suggested that John D. Rockefeller could take charge of the postoffice department of the United States, and by applying the business system of the Standard Oil Company could, with the existing postal revenues, make millions out of it.
Any reform looking to a betterment of individual conditions must take into consideration the great differences in individuals. Two men may be placed in the same conditions and environments. They may be exactly alike in every respect except in their natural temperament. In a lifetime one gets rich and the other dies in poverty.
small Accounts Encouraged
One was probably industrious, economic, temperate and honest, the other lazy, extravagant, dissipated and dishonest. IS'o legislative reform will reach such a case. Education is the only real remedy. Of course, the great masses of the people are between the two classes mentioned above. They are neither rich nor very poor. People in almost every case are the architects of their own fortunes. There are opportunities everywhere for success to those who are willing to meet the requirements. Success means self-denial. It means the exercise of discretion. If men would acquire a competency, if they would lay aside something for a "rainy-day,'' or old age, they must be industrious, economical, temperate and honest. The great majority of people are personally responsible for their financial conditions.
One need not have a large account with this bank in order to enjoy the privileges it confers.
Believing that encouragement tends to develop the resources of the small depositor, it is the policy of this bank to give appreciative attention to all who bring their business here, regardless of the size of their transactions. Your account is invited.
CAPITAL STATE BANK
The Progressives can encourage each other by conferences and reading only the papers of their own political faith, but the returns of elections are things that count. There will be no getting away from the results of the votes. The Progressives will not. cast 40 per cent of the votes this fall that they did in 1912.
Kansas City Stock Yards. Kansas City Stock Yards, April 15. Country buyers thoroughly cleaned out the yards last week, particularly of everything in the stock cattle line, and killers willingly bought the feeders that did not go to country buyers. Prices ranged Jo to 35 cents higher for the week, as total cattle receipts were light. Shipments to the country aggregated 9,000 head, as compared with 12.000 head the previous week, and 8,000 head same week last year. The supply today is J,000 cattle, 3,000 more than came in last Monday, and the total for the week should be considerably in excess of that of last week. Killing steers sold weak to 10c lower today, cows steady, stockers and feeders steady to strong. Grass is now ready to turn cattle on, and from the urgency of the country demand for stock cattle, owners of pastures are preparing to take good care of the grass. .Not nearly as many cattle are being brought up from Texas this spring, either to Oklahoma or to Kansas pastures, and many pastures remain empty, which may have a strengthening effect on the stock cattle market for a while, and unless they are filled, also on the fall beef cattle supply. A few yearlings sell up to $8.25, bulk of the stock steers $7 to «8, feeders up to $7.85, springer cows and heifers $5.50 to $7. A year ago stockers sold up to $8.15, and best feeders at $8.30. The sharp reversal of form in the stocker and feeder market last w-eek was seasonable and dealers look for the strength to hold. J. A. Rickard, Market Correspondent.

Harry Grant and a Sunbeam. Harry Grant, twice winner of the "Vanderbilt cup, has been entered in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race at the wheel of a Sunbeam by Wm. Ziegler, the New York millionaire. The car is the same that overturned while in the lead during the grand prize race at Santa Monica recently, Marquis driving. It is rapidly being put in shape, it. is said, and will be in prime condition for the contest. Grant, expects to make a nontop run of the race, if he can, the ight weight of his car, and smallness of its motor, placing this enirely within the realm of possibilty. I-uel enough will be taken on for the entire grind, so that, tires promises to be the only unknown factor ,in Grant's equation. Even these, however, he figures, will stick with him to the finish, because of the light weight they will have to carry.
The advent of the famous American puts the Sunbeam into the running with a vengeance, another car of that make already being nominated. with Chassagne, holder of the world's hour record, at the wheel. With two such noted drivers, the English machines are expected to make the rest sit up and take notice.

No man ever preserved his youth, or anything else worth preserving by doing nothing. The best way to keep young is to have something useful to do. The reason that so many retired farmers age so quickly after leaving the farm is because they have nothing to do but loaf around and pass away the time— and time is a mighty dull and burdensome thing when you have no use to put it to. To desire relief from drudgery is a worthy ambition, but to give up all occupation is utterly unworthy of any man who is capable of any sort of useful work, and also it is just exactly the worst thing a man in good health can do if he hopes for happiness and long life.
A Question to Answer. A writer asks this question: If two men own land alongside each other, and one tills his land while the other does not if one builds fences and barns and a home while the other does not., why should society fine the man who works, and pat idleness on the back by taxing the one for every improvement he makes and the other as little as possible because he has made none at all?
Miss Hazel Stanley has accepied a position as assistant pastor of the Fort Wayne Christian church. She was there two weeks assisting in a revival which closed a few days ago, and the board then employed her as assistant pastor, ivfi" -\j:
Miss Grace Thomas .has returned to her home at Indianapolis after a few days' visit with Mr. and Mrs. Paul H. New.

The Standup Scrubber is a man's invention. But wouldn't it be a glorious achievement to the credit of womankind if YOU should improve it? We believe this is possible, notwithstanding it is today admittedly the only practical scrubbing machine on th« market.
We know you will be delighted with the Standup Scrubber, and yet it may be possible for you to suggest some little thing
•''V SCJ* —any little change or addition 5 that would make !t more perfect. Now for every such suggestion that you send us, and that we adopt, looking to the improvement of the Standup
Scrubber or the Clara Kling Clothespin Bag, or for any other idea that we accept and develop into an in to make housework easier, we wid give
