Remember that that is just as much a part of cleanliness as cleaning house, and it shows more. It is also more important for the health of the community. So far nothing has been done toward a general cleaning up day, and any way you dont need to wait for it. If your part is done, you can watch the other fellow work. Don’t imagine that you are injuring any one bid } o'ftjetf jf you refuse or neglect to register. It simply takes! awjty YQjpg j a a community oil which you should be a part. Adams county has always voted and every democrat in this old democratic fort, should respond willingly to a law, made to protect their ballot. Get yourself in readiness to register at your regular voting place on May 9th. The taxpayers of Indiana, whether they be democrats, republicans or of any other political faith should know by this time how utterly unreliable the Indianapolis Star's publications about state finances are. Its falsehoods are patent and notorious It is an amazing thing that any newspaper, claiming any sort of respectability, would descend to the 'heapest and commonest kind oA lying in the hot e of secu r ing some Mnall partisan advantages by deceiving its readers. But that is precisely wtjat the republican state organ has been doing ever since Street Railroad Shaffer of Chicago became its owner. .lust now Shaffer's paper has renewed its shout about the probability that the present democratic administration will have to ask an advance from the county treasurers Such a call, no doubt, will be necessary, because of the awful condition created by previous republican administrations. But the necessity for such action will soon be overcome. It must not be forgotten that during the last four years of republi-

HORSE TALK. If you have a horse in which you , think there is speed and wish that i speed developed, or if you have one i a.nd are in doubt as to 'ts speed possibilities and w.sh to find out just ! what speed there is in it, I am the man you should see. I am an expert in this line. I say expert, because I have been skilled by exper;- ! ence. And what is an expert, but the finished product of experience? Os course there are some men who don't 11 learn anything from experience, but 1 these men are exceptions. There i might be some excuse for a man who 11 fails to learn from books, but when he can'l learn from experience, some- ! thing is wrong. Now, I have succeeded in learning something from experience. I have I made horse training a specialty for 35 years. Most assuredly I have been giving some satisfaction; otherwise I would not have stayed in the business. I would like to say right here that I you can't begin preparing your horse] too early. Os ..ourse some think the weather now unfavorable, but the ' ■ right kind of exercise in the mud j ' when followed by proper jiffire an tention will not hurt but ! on ;he other b-.iid mu<’:i | .good ar. 1 w-!l go a towo-.d : ■<

ti this . . portant thing is balancing. If you have a good horse that you I are butchering up on the road you 11 ' will be surprised at what a change . I 1 a few weeks in my hands will bring |. | about in him. You will find my 1 i charges reasonable and my dealing fair. I have wintered several this sea- • son. I have in my stable at present six head: Judge Askins, jr., who is a very fast three-year-old; Gypsie On-1 line, a speedy two-year-old; also Elgin, Maude Wilkes and Red Streak, all of whom seem to be very good prospects.
