It’s a safe statement that more people will have promises for jobs than was ever known there 10 to 1. The Fort Wayne authorities in ordering the Decatur fair banners from the interurban cars have given the business men of this city an inkling of their real feeling toward the smaller towns of this locality. It’s a case of all coming in and nothing goes out for that city. —. « r STOVES FOR SALE. One Art Garland hard coal stove, one Jewel No. 9 range, one Round Oak heater.

IT IS THURSDAY Mid-Summer Institute Will Be Held Next Thursday AT LEHMAN’S GROVE Berne Indiana—lt Will Be a Most Interesting Session During this and next week the people of Adams county have much to occupy their attention. While many have turned their eyes to the annual county institute, which is now in session at the M. E. church, many, many farmers are arranging their domestic affairs so as to be able to gather at the Lehman Grove near Berne next Thursday to enjoy the second mid-sum-mer Farmers’ Institute ever in session within the boundaries of the county of Adams. Berne citizens contend that they will furnish 1,500 people fram their enterprizing little place and conservative men predict that 5,000 people will invade the famous grove on the occasion. The entire citizenship of the county is especially urged to favor the promoters by being present and this program alone will well pay all for their efforts in attending beside which the outing in this pleasant grove will be well worth going for. The Berne brass band has been engage dto furnish the music for the day. This institute will be more interesting than ever. The fact that die Grea Northern Indiana fair will ensue but a few days afterward adds to its appropriateness and every farmer will do well by attending and hearing the educating talks which are scheduled to be given. o AS AN INSTRUCTOR (Continued from Page One) Cromer stripe was needed. Mr. Watson himself has always believed in machine methods, and he succeeded in convincing most of the local leaders that Cromer should be brought here as an instructor. The matter was decided at a meeting of the committee three weeks ago, and the date was fixed for Mr. Cromer’s coming. None of the details of his talk to the committee were given out, but it was admitted that he had given some valuable suggestions on organization matters, and if local republican managers ever got “straight tips” on machine rule they got them yesterday. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. - —o THE REALM OF LIGHT. By Frank Hatfield. 430 pp. $1.50. A Narrative of, Thrilling Adventures and Experiences. Two Chicago business men are persuaded by an old Hungarian to go with him into the heart of Africa on a voyage of discovery. After months of hardship and thrilling adventure, a mountain is reached by the three travelers, and owing to a singular phenomenon every seven years, an entrance is found to the in terior of the mountain, and by almost superhuman effort, the four men finally reach its summit. Here they find a people, who for thousands of years, have lived a life freed from every form of self-seeking —the Meal life; a race of giants physically and intellectually, who in our year one had controlled the solar energy and made it subservient to their needs; had constructed telescopes so far superior to what are knowt. that they bring the moon and planets -within the range of intelligent perception; had worked out the principles of acoustics to such an extent that without a medium conversation could be carried on at great distances; had. through their mastery of the : problems of the storage of power, an- : nihilated space; and had discovered wonderful methods of lighting and of time-keeping. through unseen forces. The book abounds in romance; and food for thought and discussion for him who can read between the lines. Altogether, the work is destined to provoke discussion and create a large interest.

Smith, of West Franklin, Maine, says: “I like good things and hav e adopted Dr. King’s New Life Pills as our family laxative medicine, becaase they are good and do their work without making a fuss about it.” These painless purifiers sold at all dealers. 25c.
