Quite frequently it means a display of nerve and courage and sacrifice in private life. No one admires the fellow who does not stand for "his home," be it either with reference to his country, his state or bis county. The men. of Adams county are now given a chance to show their loyalty. A splendid opportunity has been offered us for •in industry that places us among the j leading counties of the country. It requires the co-operation of the farmers and business men. Shall we do ] it? Rather, can we afford not to do it? It is the man who looks forward who wins. Tomorrow has always; 1 i brought a bigger actuality than we could dream for it. The year behind us has always been a year of lesser achievement as a nation, as a state, as a county, as a city. Shall it be any , •different in the future? The present■ ’ generation is the one charged with the duty to accomplish something, and we must do it. or fail to measure up to that standard expected of men. Let’s be big enough to look through a prop-1 osition and do that which is best for us all. No one can well dispute the fact that the sugar beet factory will 1 improve the general conditions of this county. It will bring in from outside sources, hundreds of thousands of lars, to be distributed among our people, iuwill furnish labor for many men. It adds value to farm, and city property. The man who lays down now ’s a shirker. The man who doesn't defend the company which will locate a big factory here against all outsiders is being disloyal, unless he has some good reason, now unknown to us. We know of no man who is doing this, and we know of no reason whoy we should not get together on a long, strong pull that will win KEEP ON TALKING BEETS. Mr. Farmer—ls you are for Adams county, for your own best interests, sign only the contracts for the Decatur beet sugar factory. L>err»'jcra* Want Ads Pat.

IN MEMORIAM. Emma Rosa Worthmann, wife of the Rev. Edward Worthmann. and daugh . ter of Fred and Catherine Mutschler, was born in Root township, Adams ; 1 county, Indiana, on the fifteenth day of January, 1887. In the holy sacra ' ment of baptism her parents present-1 ed her unto the Lord March 6, I$S7 | They were faithful to their promise . and brought her up in the fear of the i ' Lord. After careful instruction and I prayerful thought, she professed her i faith in the saving grace of our Lord < Jesus Christ on the nineteenth of May. At this time she was confirmed by the, Rev. William Spiess and received into ■ the Christian fellowship of our con- . gregation (the Reformed church). Her ' life was a testimony of the sincerity i of her profession. In disposition she was kind and considerate and quiet, in duty always faithful. She took alively i interest in Christian work and was an . active member of our congregation.. For six and one-half years she was our 1 organist, and was, irrespective of the; conditions of the weather, always' prompt and faithful in the perform-1 ance of her duty. On the twenty-ninth of September, 1910, she was united in holy wedlock with the Rev. Edward' Worthman. With a happy heart she entered upon her new duties as a minister’s wife in the parffonage and con gregation at Kaukauna, Wis. From correspondence with friends it can be seen that she had and enjoyed a hap- ( Py and a sweet home. A child was born into the home on the eleventh of | September. 1911. She was happy in the consciousness of motherhood, but sorrow entered that happy home when the reaper of death appeared and took the little one to ’’Glory Land" September 15, 1911. Her weakened conditionopened the way tc a severe attack of. kidney trouble, to which, after a gallant struggle, she finally succumbed She passed away last Friday, October 6, 1911, a little past the noon hour Faithful and loving hearts brought her remains from Kaukauna here to De-, catur, Ind. The time of her pilgrim age was twenty-four years, seven months and twenty-one days. Deeply grieved over her early departure are the husband, her parents, two sisters, two brothers, truny relatives and a host of friends. Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast; We love thee weii, but Jesus loves., thee best - Goodnight! Good-night! Good-night! Only ‘good-night, - ’ beloved —not "fare well!” A little while f.nd all His saints shall i dwell Iq hallowed union; indivisible — Good-night! Until we meet again before His throne, Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own, Until we know even as we are known — Good-night! See our window display this week. — Indiana Light'ng Co. — -o NOTICE. Regular meeting of the F. & A. Masons Tuesday evening.
