Her father, who. in addition to being the head of the tariff league is a New Tor* nulhc-zaire. proediy consents to the marriage. The tart* has enabled him to get rich off of the Am-eriean people by keepzag oat foreign K-m---pecitjan. Being nek he can afford to bay a dike for a son-in-law aad set him op is great style abroad on America* money Bat this man who caa .report a coke for his daagster is sot willing that foreign goods sba-1 be brongbt into tbe Vnited States to compel the trusts. by fair eomtetitxffi.

OE acenair erening or a certain day, I oe the political issues of the day, and I by the party which brought him. but the township deTegations of the old | nnte. with the Sag and the drum and I the man on horse back with the red , sash, fail to appear. They are busy! c® their farms and it pays them better I than the political rally. The good and great and glorious 4th cf July, which used to be ushered in at daybreak by the booming of cannons from some place away off. and early in the day by the marching of Sunday sebeol children, and the long procession of citizens to the grove where the opening ceremony was prayer and the singing of “America” and the reading ot the Declaration of In- : dependence. And then the orator of ! the day let the eagle loose to spread : all over creation, and sometimes there was a public dinner after, but always -■ iT and striped candy and tire dchildren. and at sunset e-rerybody was at home weary, may he. bet proud and giad that they lived in these Cnited States of America. New the 4th of July begins along abtm the twentieth of Jone, with the i*wssant popping of the firecracker, i varied occaacnally with the torpedo ' it-d the toy pistol and ends about the j sixth of July, when the local paper t-ezins to publish the list of casualties. The crowd comes sometimes and the Sag is unfurled on the 4th, but every -article of patriotism seems to tare been eliminated from the day and only the ban game, the fire cracker and the small boy are in evidence. Now it is left to the public schools to see to it that the children are tatxrt the meaning of the 4th of July, and the significance of the flag. But with a. this seeming indifference on great national day, there is no questioning the patroitism of Adams eewnty. Her sons have taken part in every struggle this nation has had since the county was organized. In Mexico in the Civil War. in Cuba and the Philippines and her represent* tires are in every branch of the military service of the government. As we eJose these papers on the his--ory ;.f Adam county, we must admit txit m her social and public life there is sti2 Ti;- room for improvement, and there is not the shadow of a i-mt but that the advance will be sxade and Adams county win ever rethe equal if rhe saperior of say of ninety counties of Indiana. — -o——— — Frank Tucker, state pure food in’ss in Logansport notified local dealers that they snculd n« 01er for bpead Mstry confectionery shelled nuts, or other food » prepared that is jX J" unless such St pM * ewed from in--12:4 ° ther Toretgn «
