Tonight at the library hall will he held a public meeting, at which time those who attend will hear a report of the finance committee and others onnerted with the "Old Home Week.” Suggestions of entertainment and amusement will be gladiy received and the purpose is to create as much enthusiasm as possible that the event may be the success jt deserves to be. From now on no ■ time should be lost, if we are to make the week the biggest ever and that is the desire of the committee, and the others interested. Come out tonight The republican congressional convention of the Eighth district, it has been announced, will be held at Muncie on Thursday, August Sth. So far there are no avowed candidates for the honor and it is not expected that there will be a very stiff battle. Adams county has seven delegates, Delaware twenty-six, Jay fifteen, Madison thirty, Randolph nineteen and Wells nine, making a total of 106, and necessary to choice, fifty-tour. Mayor Teeple of this city has been mentioned for the place, but has made no official announcement of his candidacy. Mr. Taft occupies a hopeless position. His best friends do not expect his election. He was nominated by a machine, but machine methods cannot elect him. Plenty of money will be back of him, but money cannot elect him. The country has lost con fidence in Mr. Taft. He has not made good. For three years and a half he has been president. During that time he has accomplished nothing. On the contrary he has put himself in oppo sition to progressive legislation oi every sort and has obstructed every measure designed to relieve the peo pie from oppressive conditions. These are not empty statements but are facts, as every one who has kept post ed concerning what has been going on knows. Mr. Roosevelt is still work

ing on his third party. He and his ' followers refuse to support Mr. Tait. ) But Roosevelt’s third party will not carry the election. The next president of the United States will be either Mr. Taft or the democratic nominee, Woodrow Wilson. The democratic nominee stands for the things ; that the people want. Mr. Taft I stands for nothing. Which will you I take? 1 Republican papers aretrying to 1 , side track the farmer vote by the i1 statements that the democrats are d?- , sirous of lowering the price of the ’ products raised by American farm- ■ ers. The statements are so utterly ’' foolish, silly and untruthful, that it's ‘ scarcely worth denying. No one t I I wants the farmer to be less prosper- > ! ; I ous than he is, and no one is com- . , plaining because of his price. What they do object to is the difference bc- * j tween the price paid the farmer and 1 | the price charged the consumer in ‘ I the cities. There is a long margin ’j of profit somewhere between the * six cents per pound paid to the fartn‘l er for his hog and the thirty cents ■ ' charged for ham in Chicago, Indianj apolis and even in smaller cities. The farmer who gets twenty-five cents - per dozen for his eggs or twenty-five s cents per pound for bis butter, on - the average, is rather lucky, and still * eggs sell for as much as sixty cents ’ per dozen and butter for about that t much a pound during the ' inter. The - farmer is fortunate who gets a dollar -for his wheat and the good Lord I knows he can't raise it for much less 3 nowadays, but the poor man of the - city, who buys a ten-cent loaf of r bread gets a chunk about the size of - your hand. And on the other hand '- when the farmer goes to buy farm . machinery or any thing he may need, he pays more in proportion than the - increase in tie price he receives. The t farmer doesn't get the extra money, y the workman doesn’t get it. The peoi- pie stood for it for a while, but the II dissatisfaction has reached the farmit er, the miner, the workingman, the i- tradesman and everyone, but the e trust-protected baron. That this is e I true will be proven after the votes e are counted next November. e ——- CARPENTERS WANTED. if We want tour first-class carpenters v , at once. 167t3 LARROWE CONST.

Mrs. Gene Steele was a charming hostess yesterday afternoon to the members of the Priscilla club. It was an unusually good time enjoyed by the members of the telephone force and a number of their friends at the home of the Misses Gertrude and Agnes Omlor, south of the city. They had planned to have a hay rack ride there, but the weather spoiled that so the trip was made by hack. On arriving at the Omlor home, the good time began in earnest and there was splendid music for the dancing and games which were in , order. Garden flowers made the porches and rooms fragrant and beautiful, and before returning home a delicious supper was served at little tables provides for the accommoda- “ tion of the guests. The supper was ■ such as only a farm house can supply . and included fried chicken, potato salad, sandwiches, potato chips, cottage cheese, iqe cream, cake and lemonade in the menu. Those who enjoy | ed the hospitality of the Omlor home were Fiances Baker, Edith Miller, Marie and Esther Heckman, Sylvia ’ Droppieman, Inez Goverdalej, Kittie Fought, Agnes and Gertrude Omlor, Willard Pemberton, Joe Hunter, Charles W’atson, Edwin Fledder-1 s johann, Charles Brode, Clem Colchin, I ■ Fred Smith.
