OUR NEW SENATOR While it is a new sensation for the Democrats of Indiana to claim the distinction of a United States senator, yet the one chosen is not a new Richmond in the field, and the mantle falls gracefully and fits well upon the shoulders of the Hon. Benjamin F. Shively. He is equipped with all the natural and mental facilities, is endowed with that grace of manner so useful to public men, and in all is destined to win further renown in that highest law making body —the United States senate. The place fits him, he will wear the honor well and the people of Indiana may well congratulate themselves that one so fitted was chosen from the flower of their flock. He ■'Mill begin his public life on the fourth of March and for six years following that time. Senator Shively will serve his people faithfuly and well.

Now that the governor has been inaugurated, the senatorial candidate agreed upon, there is nothing in the way of the legislature bucking right down to business and giving the people the best sort of an account of their ability as the law making power of the state. There is much tc do. The Marion Leader is now. being managed by a receiver. With so many newspapers in the same plight it is hard to see the argument of a few merchants who are continually grumbling about the rates for advertising. It is safe to say that, investment considered, the profits of the average newspaper are much less than those of the average merchant, and the newspaper at all times has by far the most expense. —Hartford City News.

TO ATTEND TARIFF MEETING The Vice President to Visit Indianapolis Scon. Indianapolis. January 14.—There is now a strong likelihood that William S. Sherman, vice-president-elect.may come to Indianapolis for the national tariff commission convention in February. Henry, Riesenberg has had friends interviewing the senators and congressmen at Washington. They are found to be of many minds on the subject of the creation of a tariff commission, notwithstanding the indorsement of the principle and of the convention by President-elect W. H. Taft and also by President Roosevelt. Mr. Sherman is reported as not being overly enthusiastic on the creation of a tariff commission, but he is, nevertheless, much interested that he will probably accept his invitation to attend and address the convention in Indianapolis. Mr. Riesenberg and Mayor Bookwaiter, who start east the last of the week, will call on him, President Roosevelt and Vice-President Fairbanks, and will also meet the members of both houses of congress.

ADUROC HOG SALE The Studabaker Sale to Be Held Saturday SOME GOOD BLOOD The Sale Will Be One of the Best Yet Held We wish to call the attention of the farmers of Adams and adjoining counties to thp great brood sow sal* of Duroc hogs to be held qt Rice’s sale barn, Decatur, Ind., on Saturday, Jan. 16, 1909, by that up-to-date breeder of Duroc's. D. E. Studabaker. On that day Mr. Studabaker will sell 35 head of tried sows and spring gilts, all bred for March and April farrow. Part of the offering are bred to Mr. Studabaker’a three herd boars and the rest are bred to boars with national reputations. Mr. Studabaker was one of the heaviest buyers at the fall sales throughout Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, lowa. Kansas and Missouri and part of this offering is what he bought at the above sales. He is taking the best ones and putting them in

this sale. Mr. Studabaker says the reason he is selling the good ones is becaue he has so many on hand and that he expects to make quite a number of the winter sales through the above states and he must get rid of some to make room for the new ones that he expects to buy. Parties that helped make his fall sail sale a success must be helped also, hence his intention to sell so many good ones. His whole offering is the pick of over 200 head. They are not fat and by the word fat I mean in showshape, but in nice breeding condition. A condition to make the buyer the best money. Mr. Studabaker is not looking for high prices and without doubt many good bargains can be had that day. There is not a poor animal in the sale. They all have the very best of feet and up on them like a pig. They are all very heavy boned good strong, wide, well arched backs. None have bad color and no bad ears, although some have a neater ear and are on the show-yard order. No sale this year will offer as many sows

sired by and bred to as many different boars having a nationa 1 reputation. Several are bred to grand champions and the rest to boars that have won first in class at the leading state fairs of 1907 and 1908. Another thing that Mr. Studabaker expects to do is this: A government inspector will examine, his herd including his sale offering before they are sold and before they are shipped out as to their soundness and will report on sarfie the day of the sale. In this way you are sure of getting a sound animal and one that will go right out and do good. A good dinner will be furnished all those coming to the sale and to parties from out of the county and from a distance why go to Murray’s hotel and say you have come to the hog sale and that pays the bill. Sale will be held in a warm place, so come

out and meet your friends and make new ones. Sale will start at 12:30 sharp in order to let the out-of-town breeders get away in time to get home for Sunday. Anybody is in* Ivited to visit his herd at his farm I just across the river bridge east about [four blocks. Notice his sale advertisement in this issue which will give you further Information. Also notice all stock papers. For further information call or phone Mr. Studabaker at his expense.
