AN EARLY CONVENTION The state committee should name a date not later than the first week in March to hold the state convention. That the great body of democrats —the farmers—would then have time to participate in selection of delegates and naming a ticket. That date will appeal to all -who want party success and are not selfish. Governor Marshall is a candidate for president. The democracy should meet in convention, endorse him with strong resolutions, and vigorously and enthusiastically present him to the national democracy as Indiana’s candidate. This state should get to action in his behalf, as the national convention will probably be held in June. The registration law is effective. The first registration day will be about May 5, 1912, six months before election. The registration machinery must be put in force early and vigorously. On it absolutely depends democratic success next year. It is not possible to effect a perfect organization until the state ticket is named. So the earlier the better. / Every one knows that no organization is effective or possible until the state ticket is named. Democracy will be direlict of its duty, and endanger its prospects of success, if it does not hold its next state convention not later than the first week in March, 1912. The party should lead out, and not trail the republicans. Democracy should hold its convention first. Be progressive. Up and at them in the very beginning of 1912! for “he who dallies is a dastard; and he who doubts is damned.” —Anderson Democrat.

Each member will be requested to bring two guests, and an interesting entertainment is being ' planned. The members of the pro- ; gram committee, include Mesdames P. G. Williams, A. M. Anker and Miss ! Margaret Daniels. Other pleasing features of entertainment will be provided. After the business features were disposed of, the hostess provided very delicious refreshments. The Mite society of the M. E. church held their regular business and social j session at tne church parlors Friday : , afternoon, when bills for the New ' I England dinner and bazaar recently ; given, were allowed and reports regarding the same were heard. The sum of $65.60 was cleared from the New England dinner and supper, and $17.00 from the bazaar. The ladies also arranged for several money making projects. One was an arrange- i ment with C. Dunn, the Watkins man,! for a certain per cent of sales of his goods, and another was the agency for | the cedar oil mop. The society has pledged itself to pay off SSOO of the I 1 church indebtedness, and has already ! $l5O to apply on this. For the re-! 1 i mainder of the sum —$350 —they will j 1 give a note, either today or Monday. i and hope to have this cleared in a j short time. A very good social time ? followed. The committee had gather-1 cd old time pictures of the guests nnd | ' a jolly good time was spent guessing! “who was who." The luncheon was - served in a very unique way - from a i bill of fare, which was written in sug-1 gestive phrases. Each guest was al-i • lowed to select three items from the I bill of fare, and these were then serv- • ied restaurant form. Not until they I were served did each one really know I what her plate would contain. “A link of friendship” proved to be a weiner wurst; ‘'Adam’s ale,” water; "An im- i aginary circle." a doughnut; “A piece! of the moon,” cheese, and so on. The I afternoon was one of the most pleasing of the season, — When Mr. and Mrs. Will Winnes re-! turned home Friday evening from! i their wedding trip, which included vis- 1 ' its in Hartford City, Montpelier and | i Muncie, they ran directly into a show-1 . er—that is Mrs. Winnes did —but it - was a most happy and pleasant one, arranged for her by Mrs. Harvey Smith and Miss Nellie Winnes and the “sun-shiny” sniles and good I wishes of Mrs. Winnes’ host of friends who were waiting to greet her at the Harvey Smith home, made the home i coming a particularly happy one. Pro- | gresslve games were called into requisition in passing the evening pleasantly, there being four tables for (jthese. On the first, was a pin-string ■ ing contest —the feat of seeing who j could tie the greatest number of pins I on a string in ten minutes; the second was a red-letter game; the third a peanut sticking contest, and at the fourth table, each was blind-folded and required to distinguish pees from beans, i the honor going to the one having the ! greatest number of peas in a given i time. The progressive games resulted in the awarding of first prize to Miss Agnes Krick, a cut-glass tumbler; second, to Mrs. Grover Hoffman, a hand painted plate; and the boobies —a cake turner, to Mrs. J. C. Cole, and a ladle, to Mrs. Will Winnes. The “shower” was given in a very appro priate way, the presents being delivered to the door as laundry, and the gifts were then unwrapped by the bride in the presence of the guests. The gifts were very handsome and expressive of the esteem in which th bride is held by her friends. Luncheon was served buffet style, and on the napkins were written transposed toasts, which were transposed during the luncheon and read, causing much pleasure and amusement. Guests were Mesdames Winnes, Orval Har-

ruff, J, C. Cole, L. C. Annen, Grover Hoffman, Dallas Butler, Fred Schafer, Louis Dolch, David Stoler; Misses Della Harruff, Agnes Krick, Fanny Rice, Anna, Jessie and Nell Winnes.
