The convention has been recorded in the pages of history in the Eighth district as one of the pleasant events of this always stirring political sec- 1 tion of the state. The old timers who , were here declared the meeting to be the best ever. Decatur did not suffer any by being hospitable LML II II ■! — * Only another day to get out that New Year's resolution. Dig it up. It don’t make much difference what it is, but each person should decide to improve himself in some way or other. Don t overlook resoluting that you will do all you can to make Decatur a better town and Adams county a better county. Senator Tyndall was a busy citizen during the arrival of the delegates as well as afterwards. He was the chairman of the reception committee and when such a man is necessary again, none others need apply. He was there to a frazzle and saw that everybody met everybody, the fact adding not a little to the enjoyment of the visitors. If there is any taxpayer in the state who feels that he spent more than he should have spent for Christmas, let him remember that the last democratic legislature not only reduced the annual appropriations one million five hundred thousand dollars, but also reduced the tax for the general expenses I of the state government twenty-five per cent. This will restore peace of mind. Jacob Denny of Portland has been announced as a candidate for Lieutenant governor and the district convention held here Friday endorsed him for that place, pledging the united support of the Eighth in his behalf. Jake is good to meet, has friends in every nook of Indiana, would make a popular and efficient official and will make the other candidates step some in the state convention. Decatur is a good convention city. Our people all extend a glad hand to every visitor and it goes a long ways in making them feel that they have found a home, whether they are looking for one or not. The convention Friday was proclaimed to have been the best ever T.old in the district, and the only reason for iv was the openhearted hospitality extended to those who were here forth- day. The republican state editorial association will meet in Indianapolis on January 26th. No Indiana republican is to be allowed to talk politics for the simple reason that the editors do

not want tl feast turned into a ' ■ Dt But some outside man will be -Jjeured, if possible. Harry New, Taw l s manager in this state, has been delegated to select the outsider. Whats the result will be no living J prophet can foretell. The endorsement of the Hon. Dale ■J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, for chairman of the democratic state committee, is not only a meritorious eulogy of an able man, but is an endorsement that should be realized upon Mr. Crittenberger would make a conservative head of the state organization and would be doing busi- i ness at the old stand at all seasonable hours. He would organize the Indiana i democrats and give us the hegt that | ever happened in the stale. He it» ’ worth a trial and should be given thej ■ opportunity of demonstrating his I worth as the head of the state oi'gani-i zation. » .* i It pays to be clean, h&'nest and decent in private as well as public life. | The friendship, the good will and the endorsement accorded ‘ Bill” Kunkle by the two hundred Wells county boosters at the convention in this city Friday was worth more than all the offices in the universe. It goes without saying that a man with such a standing among the people among whom he has spent all the years of his life, is the best sort of a man for official place, and his success as the head of the Eighth district organization is already assured. Here is to “Bill' Kunkel. May he live long and continue to prosper, and may we have more like him engaged in keeping us in the straight and narrow way. Ed Koos of Bobo was here today on business. | S. J. Martz of Monroe was here today on business. Bernard Parent returned from a business trip to Fort Wayne.

Pleasant, Michigan, where he is engaged in the lumber business. Carl has been here on a visit and Thursday night while playing basket ball had the bones of his left foot crushed.

Towne today, in speaking of the suc'cess of the half million dollar en- . dowment campaign which Depauw university has been waging for the last fifteen months and which will be brought to a close Sunday, December 31. "We are sure of our success and our worry Is over.

The collections taken that day will all go the Depauw endowment fund.

Drive Away The Tickle What is more annoying than the tickle of a cold. You keep eternally coughing and cough nothing up. Your throat is dry and parched. You worry yourself into a fever. It’s best to do away with the tickle by removing the cause. Our COUGH SYRUP cures colds and they stay cured. It removes the tickle—loosens the phlegm—gives y»u a clear unobstructed throat besides it does it all quickly. The price? 25 cents is asked. Some people would willingly pay more, it’s worth it too.
