Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-ciass mail. Gaynor of New York and Martin of Virginia are the latest aspirants for the democratic presidential nomination. Either would make good, no doubt, but it is not likely the ywill have to. The county committee will - meet Thursday of this week. At this time the delegates will be selected for the various conventions and the plans for registering the votes discussed. Mr. Bosse would like to meet every committeeman on that day. This is Lincoln Day and is being observed over the country. The great emancipator was born 103 years ago in Kentucky, and when eight years old came to Indiana. His education ; was self-earned as ’•.c said, ' from time to time unde the pressure of neces- ’ sity.” Taft, headquarters have been opened at the Willard Hotel at Washington I and the battle for the nomination I will hum from this time on. So far i Mr. Taft is unopposed and the Roose- j velt boom seems to have declined to ; some extent during the past week. I Mr. LaFollette is out of the race, so far as doing any damage is concerned, I and it looks like . walk-away for the president. Adams county farmers should be, glad of th eepportunity given them to raise beets and sell them a home market. It is your auty to progress the same as it is the duty of every other man. The person who does as his father did will find himself wholly behind the age before he reaches the three-score year and ten station. Here is an opportunity to step ahead and do it safely. Intensive farming is necessary, is more profitable, and is coming fast. Make your acres earn more money than heretofore and there is no better way to do this than by raising beets. Don’t decrease your contract, but increase it, if you get the chance. THE RENT’S PAST DUE. (By our favorite Poet.) So, Teddy went to .'-iriky, upon some ' hunting bent, Before he left he told the boys, ‘ Have Billy pay the rent;” The boys secured his proxy and bid him go in peace, And swore by all the gods below, that they'd protect the lease. So, Teddy went to Afriky. and stayed away a. year, The boys upon the lid at home wrote, 'Something's wrong, we fear.” When Teddy read, just what he said,' but he and God can tell; He answered back: ‘Get on his track, we’ll try and givs him h—l.’" Giff-took a skiff to Riirope's shores snd hurried to his chief. Recounted woes and troubles well nigh beyond belief. Made Teddy sad, then he got mad, said; “Wait ’till I get back,” “I've made up my mind that Bill’ll find he’ll hunt for another shack.”

’' So, Teddy came to ’Meriky, and they flocked around the boss, Told him each ding-danged policy was a total loss. He yelled for Root, “They’ve got the ( loot, word a writ to quit,” I I’ll think a plan, that Bill can’t can, 1’1! teach him who’s it.” i So, Teddy came to Oyster Bay, and mum's the word at that. 3 ’’l’ll study this out carefully to see ’' just where I'm at, 3 Shall I Bill sue? The rent's past due, I guess I’ll wait and see, 3 The property's mine, a deuce of a 1 time, to get what’s coming to me.” o ; DOINGS IN SOCIETY (■ —' Mr. and Mrs. Albert Arnold > Entertain Sleighing Party from Decatur.

They were forced to await the G. R. & I. train, which did not arrive here until 4 o'clock Sunday morning. While in Ft. Wayne they were entertained at the Ross McCullough and Weatherhogg homes, and the telephone communication to the husbands here at home settled all fears of uneasiness, so that the entertainments at both ends of the line were enjoyed to the utmost.
