Unsolicited lie , sends his contribution and there will be few who will not agree that he is loyal to Decatur and wants to help a cause that will boost his ‘Home.'' Democrats will gather at Indianapolis Tuesday to attend the notification meeting. The notification will he made by Judge Alton B. Parker, who is to be introduced by Hon. S. M. Ralston. Governor Marshall's reply will ( be the greatest speech of his career, and the meeting will be an enthusiastic one. ** J Mr. Hubbard's statement that Adams county has all the others backed off of the boards when it comes to real value should gladden the hearts of every citizen in the twelve townships. It's good to near the truth spoken when it is so complimentary, and while we believed it all the time, we are glad to hear our opinion agreed to by others. Mr. Hubbard is now one of the real boosters, and we welcome him to the circle of twenty-five thousand loyal Adams county residents, every one of whom is ready and willing to shout defiance to the world, and we agree with him that no wherein all the land can one find such farms, such people, such roads and such a community as right here. When the wanderers come home this October, they will agree with us and with Mr. Hubbard that they were foolish to ever leave the best spot on earth. Maybe some will decide to stay. "There are two great things to do.” said Governor Wilson, ‘ one is to get up the rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the proven- ' tion of monopoly, the adaption of our bankng and currency laws to the varous uses to whch our peoplemust put them, the treatment of those who do the daily labor in o: r factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings, and the political life of ' the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold governmental power in trust for their services, not our own. ** ’‘The other, the additional duty, is* the great task of protecting our people and our resources and of keeping ] open to the whole people the doors j of opportunity through which they ■ must, generation by generation, pass ( if they are to make conquest of their fortune in health, in freedom, in peace and in contentment. In the performance of this second great duty we are face to face with questions of conservation and of development, question of forest and water powers and mines and waterways and of the building of an adequate merchant marine. “We have gotten into trouble in recent years chiefly because these large things, which ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a number of persons as possible, because they touch every interest and the lite of every class and region, have in fact been too often handled in private conference.” THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANX -

AMONG THE UNFORTUNATE Sam Railing, who a week ago me! with a mishap by figuring in a runaway, breaking his ankle and otherwise bruising himself up, was able to be out today with the aid of crutches. He is still experiencing much pain and some time will be necessary for his complete recovery. Joe Beery, who had a pimple on his left thumb, is suffering greatly from the affection. It became so large that it was necessary to have it lanced this morning, and treated for blood poisoning, which had set in to a certain extent. He is carrying ’he arm in a sling.

FLYING MEN FALL victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles just like other people, with like results in loss of appetite, backache, nervousness, headache, and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there’s no need to feel like that, as T. D. Peebles, Henry, Tenn., proved. “Six bottles of Electric Bitters,” he writes, “did more to give me new strength and good appetite than all other stomach remedies I used.” So they help everybody. It’s folly to suffer when this great remedy will help you from the first dose. Try it. Only 50 cents at the Holthouse Drug Co. TO ALL CONCERNED.
