J, H. HELLER, Manager. TRYING TO SAVE UNCLE NATE The Muncie Star, through its receiver, is Asking, up the cause ot Uncle Nate. That newspaper recognizes that in order to boost the republican candidate for congress, it is first necessary to tear down the excellent congressional record of Congressman Adair. To accomplish this, the aid of the congressional committee and one Sulloway the partisan and political chairman of the committee on invalid pensions has been brought into play. He was first introduced into 'eighth district politics through a letter written to and for the political purpose of helping Uncle Nate. That letter simply tried to rob John Adair of the credit due him and transfer it to Mr. Sulloway as chairman of the committee on invalid pensions. Every soldier in the eighth congressional district is conversant with the excellent record achieved by the distinguished congressman from the Eighth Indiana record of service to his people; a record of accomplishment; a record that made every partisan, be he Dernocat or Republican, glad that proper recognition was being given the district through its able representative in congress. Now comes Mr. Sulloway and the Muncie Star in an effort to discredit that record. Why? Pol. itics. It is worthy of note here, that the Muncie Star never in all the congressional life of Cromer, uttered one word derogatory to his record of eight years in congress. Every one is familiar with that tecord. Now, however, the Muncie Star tries to belittle the record of John Adair. The pe> ple are also familiar with that record. These political bucaneers may labor long and late, but the congressional star of John Adair still shines resplendent. Mother Gray’s Sweet Powders for for Children.

REPORTS SHOW GAIN IN G. A. R. Notwithstanding Heavy Death Loss Membership Has Increased. Encouraging Reports of gains in membership continue to come to the headquarters of the Indiana G. A.

Ketcham during his regime to recruit th e ranks. Capt. John D. Alexander of Bedford, the new departent commander, is pursuing the same policy. Notwithstanding the gains, the death losses during the last six months hav e been very heavy.

Easy. Teacher—Now, boys, what is the virtue of magnanimity? Pupils — Aw? Teacher—What is it if a big boy wanted an apple very badly and were to meet a small boy with one in a place where nobody could take the small boy’s part— Class (with eager illumination) — Dat’s a cinch! — Baltimore American.

Apropos of secret dispatches carried through the lines, John H.

The races, the horse and ■ ' cattle shows, the band concerts, the j ' big night shows which will be held i- | the livestock pavilion, the poultry and flower shows —all of these attractions at the Fair are of as much interest to the women as to the men.

Hundreds of chickens from the best flocks of Indiana will be shown, and there will be competitors from other states. In the dairy and creamery department the expert butter makers from Purdue University will again make an extensive exhibit and give lectures on butter making that year after year prove of inestimable value to the women from the Indiana farms. The dairy cattle shown at the Fair are always of particular interest to the women of the farms, who, through their visits to the exposition and by the rich fund of information gathered there, have done much to improve the quality of the herds and dairy products of this State. The prizes offered for dairy cattle at the coming Fair amount to $3,400, and seme famous herds will be represented in the contests for ribbons.
