The way they are modeled and made, and styled and tailored, is only a little less surprising than the way they are priced. Michaels, Stem & Co. have a reputation for building good clothes, and this Fall the showing is adapted to make any man proud. Let us make a new man of you. SUITS sl2. to $22.50 O’COATS $lO. to $25.

Mr. Kern's ♦ ♦ name will NOT APPEAR ON ♦ ♦ THE BALLOT. ♦ ♦ The existing laws provide that ♦ ♦ United States senators shall be ♦ ♦ elected by the legislature. If this ♦ ♦ body is democratic, it will elect ♦ ♦ Mr. Kern. You can cast a vote ♦ ♦ for him only by voting for the ♦ ♦ legislative candidate in your own ♦ ♦ county. ♦ VOTE FOR BUTCHER. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ The same bill of groceries that cost $8.28 in 1896, now costs $15.60. This , glorious result has been obtained under fourteen successive years of republican rule. If the republicans are continued in power, who shall say the bill in 1924 will not be $32.00? Mr. Beveridge asks to be sent back to the senate in order that he do something for tariff reform. He also asks that Standpatters Crumpacker and Barnard be re-elected in order that they may p.wvent anything being done for tariff reform. When it comes to a question of consistency he is in the same class as Roosevelt. Has any one heard a word of apology from Senator Beveridge to Judge Anderson? When one's guest offers an insult in the host's home, it is not bad taste for the host to make an apology. Roosevelt came to Indiana as Senator Beveridge s guest and coarsely insulted and villified Judge Anderson. But Senator Beveridge is as silent on this subject as on Charles G. Sefrit's charge, the income tax, the shipsubidy “graft” and county local option. John W. Kern in the United States senate means that the old Hoosier state will again be represented by men of the old type, when we were all so proud. He is able, conscientious, fair and square and honest, thoroughly alive to the interests of the people of this stale and he will work consistently and vigorously for those principles he believes ip. The big issue of this campaign is who will be senator, and eld Adams county will roll up her old-fashioned majority this year. No man has been more of a favorite here than Mr. Kern and now is the time to show it. Every voter when he casts his ballot on November Bth should remember the difference between the cost of a democratic tariff for revenue and a republican tariff for protection. It has been estimated that the average tariff tax paid to the government, per family, yearly, Is S2O, and that the average extra price paid for domestic manufacture, per family, is $175. This makes the annual tariff burden $195 per year per family. No one can reasonably object to the tax naid to the government to cover necessary expenses, but all should object to the extra tax levied by the “protected” trusts. Senator Beveridge and all of the republican candidates for congress and for the state and local offices favor this “protection.” On the other hand, John W. Kern and all the democratic candidates for congress, for state and local offices oppose such “protection.” VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICK-

ET. VOTE IT FROM TOP TO BOT TOM AND YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE. IT IS A CLEAN TICKET, DISTRICT, STATE AND COUNTY, AND IT MEANS MUCH TO ALL WHO ARE REALLY HONEST IN THEIR BELIEF THAT THE PEOPLE SHOULD RULE. THE COUNTY TICKET IS STRONG IN EVERY WAY, MR. ADAIR FOR CONGRESS HAS PROVEN HIS RIGHT TO SERVE US AGAIN IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS. THE STATE TICKET IS CLEAN AND IS HEADED BY AN ADAMS COUNTY MAN. ABOVE ALL THE ELECTION OF DEMOCRATS TO THE LEGISLATURE ASSURES THE ELECTION OF JOHN W. KERN TO THAT HIGH AND MOST IMPORTANT POSITION, UNITED STATES SENATOR. VOTE IT STRAIGHT. John Kern is still campaigning and making votes every day. He is arguing the big questions straight from the shoulder, in bis own fair and intelligent way. His arguments are convincing and particularly so, when compared with the hit and miss attacks of Senator Beveridge. John Adair, congressman from this district, is making a great finish in his race for re-election, notwithstanding the fact that he is just out of a six weeks' siege of typhoid fever. He will address two big meetings in Wells county this afternoon and evening, speaking at Ossian and Bluffton. John Adair, the friend of the soldier, the farmer, the business man, and of every voter, will be returned to Washington by an increased majority. When you have a good, trusty and efficient employee, why discharge him for some one of whom you know practically nothing? Mr. Adair has been tried and found able. Mr. Warner, his opponent, is an unknown quantity. ————— Two hundred voters will go to Fort Wayne on the evening of Saturday, November sth, to attend the big closing rally for this section of Indiana. At that time Governor Thomas R. Marshall will deliver an address and there will be speeches by other prominent democrats. The idea is to give Marshall the biggest meeting of tne year and Adams county democrats will help do it. Special cars will be chartered over the interurban and it will be a great event. Be sure to plan to attend this meeting. The political calendar includes a number of meetings for various parts of the county between this and election day, closing with a smoker at the headquarters here on Monday evening preceding the election, when Hon. Jacob Butcher will speak. Local speakers will address the voters at school houses over the county each evening. L. Ert Slack will address the voters at Geneva and Berne Saturday. On Friday evening of next week the HonSamuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, Indiana's favorite son. will address the closing meeting of the campaign at the court house here. His will be a great speech and doubtless the court house will be packed for the occasion. The Indianapolis News says: “But on the question of an income tax and the ship subsidy Mr. Kern is jutstlfied in asking for information. Senator Beveridge has voted for the ship subsidy, and, as Mr. Kern says, in a specially obnoxious form. Here he parted company with several of the insurgent senators. Would he again support a subsidy bill? No one knows, but in his science it does not seem unfair to assume from his previous record that he would do so. The subject is certainly one that ought to be discussed. Every one knows that there is to be another subsidy bill. Indeed, it is said tnat it will be pressed at the coming short session of congress, in the belief that the defeated members, unrestrained by public opinion, and with no election ahead of them, will easily be persuaded to vote for it. The people of Indiana, who, we believe, are opposed to the grab, have a right to know where Senator Beveridge stands." Democrat Want Ads Pay.

Presbyterian Missionary—Mrs. J. C. Patterson. Last Sabbath, October 23rd, about eighty of the friends and relatives of Uncle George H. Martz gathered at his home in Monroe township, two miles southeast of Monroe, to participate in a genuine old-fashioned surprise party in his honor, it being his seventy-second birthday anniversary, and to say that Uncle George was surprised would be putting it mildly. He was simply overwhelmed. He was sent in the forenoon to Decatur to meet his son-in-law. Orden Parrish, who is working in Fort Wayne, and when they arrived at home at 11:30, Uncle George found the house filled with his neighbors and relatives and his first words were, “What does al! this mean?” At noon the word was given and all partook of a sumptuous dinner, which was prepared and brought by those participating. It is needless to say that all did ample justice to the many good things provided. There were cakes and pies galore. and other good things in proportion. After all had feasted to their heart’s content, the afternoon was spent in social chat and telling of oldtime stories by the older ones, and in sports by the younger element. At a late hour the several guests departed for their several homes, thinking it was good to have been there and wishing Uncle George many more such happy occasions. Those present were James E. Loudon, James Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Blossom, Willshire; James K. Martz and wife, Berne; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gilpen and family, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Martz, Berne; A. B.
