The bargain sales are on and a glance at the columns of the Daily Democrat any evening will tell you where you can buy shoes, clothing, dry goods, in fact most anything that can be desired, at surprisingly low prices. Try It. The city of Fort Wayne is having a terrible time just now, discussing the ' problem of bow ,to get rid of an undesirable female resident, who has inhabited the underworld of that city famed for its dives, for some years. She gave presents to the police and an investigation followed. One man resigned rather than tell where he got his diamond and gold watch. Now, isn't that a fine state of affairs? If half the charges they claim are true It ought to have been an easy matter to have started the dame on an indeterminate sentence some days ago. A number of Adams county veterans have received copy of the speech made by John A. M. Adair, congressman from this district on the bill “O pension the old soldier according to his age. It is a strong plea for the bill, proving again that he does what he stands for during the campaign. It will be remembered that various arguments were brought to bear that Mr. Adair would not stand by the old soldier. He not only voted for this bill but spoke for it and did all he could to secure its passage. He does not claim to be the author of it, but he is deserving of the credit due for supporting this as well as all other good measures. A representative named Wells seems to have special designs upon the public accounting law. He has presented a bill to reduce the salaries of the men employed in this work and was the author of the resolution compelling Mr. Dehority to show just

Just where the law has , pinched this Mr. Wells has not been made public, but it's a queer sort of an Individual who can't see any good ,in the law. No doubt there are some } parts of the law which need patching J and repairing, to perfect It, and there B may be need of radical changes, but a it will not be done advantageously un-

til the matter has been considered in a calm and sane manner. We belive the legislative committee will consider well any important change in this very important, modern method law. BANK STATEMENT. J.

Instead of meeting monthly it will hold meetings every two weeks, and it is planned to divide the society into sections for the work. The order took upon itself the obligation of raising >IOO for the endowment fund for the Evangelical college at Naperville, and is planning mucu work for the coming season. The society has a large band of willing workers and the president, Mrs. Linn, with her co-workers, are anticipating a very fruitful and profitable year. Another one of the officers who deserves special mention Is Mrs. J. A. Smith, the vice president. Mrs. Smith has served faithfully for twelve years as president, and is in her fifth year as vice president. The society has been doing a noble work. In spite of the unusually wet and dreary weather of Thursday evening, the Needlecraft club had a good atttendanee at the home of Miss Clara Bultemeier on North Third street, where they spent the hours delightfully in sewing and conversation, laying aside the sewing later in the evening to enjoy the delicious luncheon, which the hostess served in two courses. There were present the Misses Sue and Celia Mayer, Agnes Gillig, Mamie Kitson, Vernia Smith, Dessie Beery, Elettffor Defying and Jessie Magley. Greeting uotu Mlm Lena Dickinson, a former member of the club, who has gone to Cleveland, Ohio, to enter a nurse’s training school, were read with much pleasure. Miss Celia Mayer will entertain next W’eek. Members of the Salem Ladies* Aid society to the number of fifteen assembled at the home of Mrs. Forest Light on Tenth street this city, where they spent the entire day in making comfort tops for their sale and enjoying the while their fingers were busy, a very good social time, with a sumptuous dinner at noon.

Mrs. Samuel Workinger, Mrs. Dwight Brown and children, Waldo and "Mildred; Mrs. Roop, Mrs. Earl Butler, Mrs. Martha Spuller and Mrs. Troby Cramer. A meeting of much interest to the Baptist Ladies’ Aid society was held at the home of Mrs. T. W. Watts Thursday afternoon, chief among the business matters being the election of the following officers: President, Mrs. John Chronister; secretary, Mrs S. E. Shamp; treasurer, Mrs. Simon Brandyberry. Plans for the new year’s work were outlined, then came a social period, during which a delicious luncheon, nicely served in three courses, was partaken of. The society will hold its next meeting with Mrs. Watts, when quilting will be in order. The Phi Delta Kappas Thursday evening arranged for a dance to be given January 26th, and a large number of invitations will be sent out soon. The fraternity will endeavor to secure the Elks’ lodge rooms for the dance. Mrs. Minnie Daniels and daughters entertained at dinner Thursday, guests being Mrs. W. C. McKinney and daughter, Eula; Mr. and Mrs. Will Cross and Miss Bertha Schultz. Mrs. M. V. Archbold of Fort Wayne spent Thursday as the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Edge. The United Brethren ladies had a very interesting meeting with Mrs. Lou Jeffers on Tenth street Friday afternoon, the company numbering about eighteen. Business matters were discussed and the meeting ended

with a social time. The next meet will be at the parsonage and plana for taking up supply club work will be made. The Euterpeans studied Oliver Wendell Holmes, the poet, at the home of Mrs. Roy Archbold Friday evening, the program being arranged by Mrs. John W.

D. Beavers Friday afternoon. This was the first meeting of the year and with the new president, Mrs. Eli Meyer, the ladies spent a profitable afternoon talking over at great length, the new year’s work, which gives great promise of ’ being a most prosperous one. Other guests other than regular members of the society were Mrs. Noah Mangold. ' Mrs. Burt Mangold, Mrs. W. L. Lehne, ’ Mrs. George Steele and Mrs. G. H. - Meyers. Mrs. George Holmes of LaOtto is the guest of her son-in-law, Oliver I Schug and wife. I • > TOO GOOD TO PASS. : If any doubt as to the good inten- > tions of the brewery association that I has been working for months in preps aration of a liquor law for presenta--1 tion to the sitting legislature they . may dismiss such doubt as nullified by > the bill itself as its terms are descrlb- • ed in our news columns this morning. » No candid man can read Its provisions ■ and not concede the drastic nature of • its efforts to remedy existing abuses. • The brewers propose a new and i rigid test for saloon keepers, higher ' license, reduction in the number of saloons, severe penalties for infraction of law. revocation of license by 1 the county commissioners and—most , impressive of all —an iron-clad di- - vorcement of the brewery from the sai loon, attended by such safeguards and , forfeitures that evasion would seem - to be impossible. It is hard to see ’ how this section of the bill could have ; been drawn with more directness and i care. The objections that will be made to j this bill are obvious, but they are not 3 such as appeal to the Star, for the , proceed solely from the prohibition . hypothesis which, however amiable • and humane in Theory, is unworkable ) in practice. They are exhaitatious of r the idea that the maker and vender 1 of alcoholic beverages has no right - which the law maker is bound to respect—an idea whose consistency is well disclosed in the fact that devo1 tion to the sacred county unit disap- ■ pears at once when there is a chance t for the state unit. • Specifically, it will be complained ; that the bill extends the closing hours • in cities from 11 to 12; that it permits , license to be held by partnerships and ■ corporations; and especially that it ■ invests the license with a property , value that may become very great; for I its renewal automatically without run- , ning the gauntlet of fresh opionage I it may be transferred to a new location, it may be bequeathed from father to son or other heir, it may even be bought and sold like any other negotiable article of value. All of which runs counter to the ■ prohibition idea that the saloon exists l only to be harassed into extinction, i This bill would mane the saloon de- ■ cent and law-abiding—the prohibition- ’ ist wishes it as disreputable and ob- . noxious as possible. This bill would . make the saloon-keeper careful about r bls license and jealous of his sai loon’s good name —the prohibitionist • hopes to see him pass from one depth i of depravity and ostracism to another, s The bill will increase the school fund ■ through excise taxation —the prohibii tionist would rather see his children i go ignorant than educated with money derived from unholy alliance with the demon rum. —Indianapolis Star, Jan. ■ 12, 1911. 11-tl i NOTICE .v CREDITORS > - ■ State of Indiana, Adams county.

Smoke Talk No. 2. By the White Stag Man. ‘The White Stag” is a five cent cigar—not the only one, but j one of them —but it is really exceptional value for the money. « The slogan "The Best 5 Cent Cigar” is a favorite fiction among advertisers who have a new cigar to exploit, but we be- | lieve we are stating an absolutely true fact when we say that the White Stag” will give you more smoke enjoyment and real pleasure than your nickel will buy you in any other brand because it is made from the best tobacco the market affords skillfully blended and built by workmen who understand their business and in ideal sanitary and hygenic condition. We , would like to have you investigate the brand and believe if you do this you’ll agree with the other "White Stag” smokers that it pays to trade at home. In every case in town. In every case a winner.
