John W. Kern will be at the court room this evening. That he will get a great reception goes without saying. He is a great favorite in Adams county and always gets a hat he wants here. He will get it this year with one vote for United States senator, and five thousand others that would like to vote for him. He is making a great campaign and. his speech this evening will be well worth the hearing. • Governor Marshall, in a speech the •other day, forcibly applied the protective fallacy when ne said: “The farmer is the only man in the United States who is not protected by a tariff, according to a statement of the president of the United States. The farmer prospers in spite of the tax on lilm for protection, because there are getting to be so many people who are too lazy to farm and are willing to pay the farmer what he asks for his products. The protective tariff does not pay the farmer anything.” Governor Marshall, Senator Shively and Mr. Kern have formally opened the democratic speaking campaign bj* delivering speeches that cover the ground at all points. Governor Marshall’s handling of both state and national affairs is superb, and so, also, is Senator Shively’s discussion of the tariff and related matters and Mr. Kern’s comprehensive presentation of the campaign issues. Samuel M. Ralston, John E. Lamb and the other state leaders are ready for the hustings and backing them up is an army of capable and prepared speakers who are ready to march into the thick of

the fight. The democratic hosts are not only united as never before in years, but they are animated by a confidence and determination that can mean uotbing but success. And what is better than all, they know that on all of the issues before the people of Indiana they are right. When the speaking comes to a close the voting begins. And it should be remembered all the time that it is votes in the ballot box—the right kind of votes —that count in the end. RURAL ROUTE EIGHT. The wheat fields along Route 8 are all looking fine. Some farmers are not yet done sowing rye. Harold, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Gilpen, is reported as being seriously sick. Eli W. Stule of near the city was a business visitor in Union township Wednesday. Mrs. G. A. Light, who resides south of the city, was a visitor on Route 8 Wednesday. The Union and Root township Sunday school convention convened at the Salem church on last Sunday. Several speakers from the city were out and participated in the program. II -— ■ Mr. and Mrs. Perry Workinger will within a few days be residents of Route 8. The neighborhood will welcome Perry. Come right among ut! Mr. Hitchcock, who has resided for the past two years on the Ed Lyon farm in St. Mary’s township, will soon move on the farm belonging to Mrs. G. A. Light in Union township. Mr. Hitchcock will be courteously received by his new neighbors. Farmers who unfortunately cut their corn a little too green fear this wet weather will cause it to mould. R. E. Gilpen is erecting a fine residence on his farm just east of the city. Mr. Gilpen’s improvement adds immensely toward beautifying the immediate vicinity. We are informed that dogs have been killing sheep for same farmers in Root township. Those who know their dogs are implicated in such slaughtering should show their manliness by killing such a dog without meditation.

SOCIETY DOINGS Baptist Young Ladies Entertain at Home of Miss Nina Reed. • A BIRTHDAY PARTY For Lilah Lord—Mrs. Dan Vail Entertains Thimble Club. Keep your faith in all beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden; in the spring when it is gone. • » » And then you will find that Duty and Service and Sacrifice —all the old ogres and bugbears of life —have joys imprisoned in their deepest dungeons! And it is for you to set them free —the immortal joys that no one—no one living soul, or fate, or circumstance —can rob you of, once you have released them. — Roy Rolfe Gilson. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Saturday. Loyal Heart Club —Irene Eady. The ladies of the Sunday school class of the Baptist church taught by Miss Jessie Winnes. proved delightful hostesses Friday evening when they entertained the members of the other Sunday school classes, at the home of one of their number, Miss Nina Reed, on West Jefferson street, the guests numbering about fifty. The evening was one of purely social enjoyment, and a number of interesting contests and games contributed to this end. A smelling contest, in which the contents of several bottles were identified by the odor was a novel one. Miss Inez Coverdale seemed to have the”most highly developed olfactory sense and succeeded in identifying the greatest number, being very appropriately awarded a bottle of perfume as a prize, while the booby was given to Sam Shamp. Then there was a contest in which the sense of touch predominated. Articles of all sizes and "nobbiness" were passed to each behind his back and he was required to guess what was in each, and this also furnished a jolly lot of fun. The ever-merry bean-bag contest, between chosen sides, contributed to the amusement, and a flower contest, in which questions were to be answered with the names of flowers, was also an entertaining one, Miss Della Harruff successfully carrying off the first honors, which materialized in the form of a paper knife. During the evening tempting refreshmenfes were served, and rounded out an entertainment of unequaled pleasure. The party included Mesdames John Chronister, Henry Betz. M. E. Reed, Nannie Miller, Henry Winnes, H. L. Coverdale, Hugh Crumley and daughter, Helen; Mr. and Mrs. Loren Lake and children. Mr. and Mrs.-C. E. Ehle and children, Mrs. George Glass, Mrs. John Everett, Mrs. H. L. Coverdale, Mrs. T. W. Watts, Mrs. Reckard, Mrs. R. C. Daugherty. Mrs. John Moser and daughter, Martha; Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Shroll and children, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Hite and children, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Throp, Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Shanjp, Misses Ina Everett, Etta and Alice Brandyberry, Della Harruff, Inez Coverdale, Ruby Miller, Myrtle Chronister, Jessie Winnes, Messrs. Will Winnes, Cal Peterson, Curly Buffenbarger and Milton Yager. Louis Fuelling of Woodburn celebrated his birthday on Sunday by entertaining a number of friends at a sumptuous supper and - owed by an evening devoted to games and music. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. F. Goerz, Mr. Paul Bleeke, the Misses Lizzie Seeking, Hilda Baade and Messrs. Adolph Hoppe and Paul Hoppe and family, all from Fort Wayne.—Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. The members of the Thimble club spent a very pleasant afternoon with their needlework Friday at the home of Mrs. Dan R. Vail. Guests other than club members in attendance were Miss Adda Donaldson of Warsaw, Mrs. Burnett of Chanute, Kans.; Mrs. Otto Haubold of Chicago and Miss Madge Hite. Mrs. Chalmer Schafer will be hostess next week. The Christian Aid society held a very profitable meeting Friday afternoon with Mrs. C. J. Weaver on Fifth street and after devotional service, made plans for conducting a rummage sale, beginning a week from next Monday, and for a pumpkin pie sale to be held on Hallowe’en. Miss Della Frauhiger, the well I known clerk at the True & Runyon

store, will entertain the other clerks I of the store at her home in Wells county tomorrow. The party will include Zelma Steele, Rose Colchln, Daisy Ballenger, Frances Butler, Celia Kinney and Della Frauhiger, will drive out tomorrow morning and expect to have a fine time. Miss Lilah Lord was given a happy birthday surprise this afternoon at her home in Monmouth in commemoration of her twelfth birthday anniversary. Games and refreshments constituted a happy day, the memory of which will remain long with those privileged to attend. F. V. Mills and family will be the guests of M. V. B. Archbold and family at Fort Wayne tomorrow. TWO INDICTMENTS Were Returned by Wells County Jury—Probably Wilson and Corkwell.

B—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The grand jury which was called to investigate the Kingsland wreck concluded its. work today.

The bonds will be fixed at SI,OOO. Wilson is now under a’ rest on affidavit filed following the coroner’s inquest, but that action will now probably be dropped and the grand jury indictments will be the ones used.
