TO THE DEMOCRATS OF INDIANA: At a recent meeting in Chicago ol the democratic national committee it was decided to appeal to the democratic press of the country to open their columns to popular subscriptions to the fund necessary to defray the legitimate expenses of the campaign of Governor Woodrow Wilson and his running mate, Governor Thomas R. Marshall. By r the action of the convention at Baltimore and by .the action since taken by its nominees, the party has voluntaritly cut itself off from the financial support ot the money power and the predatory interests. Governor Wilson has declared his intention to scrutinize subscriptions to the end at rejecting those which bear the taint of selfish corporate interests. The democratic party stands resolutely against the corrupt use of money in the campaign. But a considerable amount will be required to meet the legitimate needs of the militant democracy in the pivotal states which decide the complexion of the next national administration. To raise that sum by a popular subscription in every state in the union will not be a difficult task. The democratic party goes into the battle with all the odds in its favor. It has a compact, united and enthusiastic or ganization, it has nominated a candidate who has all the qualifications to make one of the greatest presidents the country has had, it has the sympathy for the first time since 1892 of the hundreds of thousands of independent! voters who hold the balance of power in the tremendous struggle now opening and it faces a divided und dispirited opposition. Tn that situation the democrats

ought to give gladly to a fund that will insure the party’s triumph in November, thereby taking the government out of the hands of the privileged classes aud restoring its cpntrol to the masses. Ihdiana has a vital interest in the restoral of democratic supremacy at Washington. There is a great industrial and commercial stake for her in a national victory at the polls in 1 1 November. 1 1 Four years ago, when prospects 1 were infinitely less flattering, the democratic masses of Indiana sub- > scribed liberally to the democratic campaign fund. It ranked with the • subscriptions of three or four states I in the whole country which stood at tlie head of the roll of honor. Indiana ought to do as well in 1912 as i she did in 1908. I We appeal to every democrat in Indiana, whatever his station, for his co-operation in this movement. There . i will be no limit on the amount of ini dividual subscriptions. Whatever any • democrat feels he is able to give, be it large or small, will be gratefully accepted, duly acknowledged through . the columns of this paper, and promptly accounted for to the national committee, through Hon. Hugh Dougherty, vice president of the Fletcher Trust company of Indianapolis, who represents the treasurer of the national committee in Indiana. Contributions should be made direct to this paper, either personally or by mail. Under the corrupt practice act of Indiana, no contribution can be received from any corporation or any judge or candidate for judge. But contributions may be made by all other classes of persons. WM. F. McCOMBS, Chm. Democratic Nat l Com. HUGH DOUGHERTY, Indiana Member of Finance, Democratic National Com. It’s time to register. The second day for this as provided by law occurs Friday of this week. At the previous meeting of the board, ' the democrats made a splendid showing in Adams county, and the test comes now. If you did register, get busy 1 with your friend or neighbor, or anyone whom you ; know has deglested his duty.

It is very important, that they register this time if they did not do so in May. Second registration day—next Friday. If you didn’t register in May, or if you have moved from one precinct to another, you should not fail to register. It’s important. Keep saying it over to yourself—- " Decatur can and will.'' It will give you more confidence in yourself, and if we al! have this, the community would be strong indeed. A Pioneer Story from Page 1> passed rapidly on, all busy as bees and not a caller until long afterward a big buck Indian with a friendly gr,n stood in their doorway and was taken in and fed. In his jerky English he informed them that “Whiteman—all iaev —on setting sun side big prairie —got ’cabin. This was news indeed to the settlers and shortly afterward they explored and came upon the cabin and met old man Thompson, a bald-headed old man, who had located and built on what is known as Thompson's prairie. That meant a neighbor a long ways off but, thank goodness, still a neighbor. One lovely evening that late summer, Simison was standing idly in front of his cabin and was astonished to see coming out of the woods into his clearing a team and a covered wagon. The first visitor. The team was driven by a youthfu looking man and wonder of wonders, a sweet-faced beautiful girl on the seat beside him. Simison’s welcome to them was quiet (as was bis whole pioneer manner) but not the less earnest and hospitable. This couple proved to be a man by the tameof Davis and to Simison’s great satisfaction, his unmarried sister. They shared Simison’s larder for a j day, told that they were headed for i the settlement of Murray in Wells ! county and urged Sfmison to accomI pany them as a guide. Simison needi ed no urging, it is authoriatively stat- ' ed, and the party commenced the hard journey. They stopped at Studrbakers' and where Simison left word that his return would be speedy but the Studabakers’ waited this time on Simison and it was near a month after that the Studabakers’ one bright October morning welcomed a couple, Simison and his bride, and Mrs. Robert Simison’s romance had been told. Then the work of the Studabakers’ and the Simisons’ went on vigorously. The months and the years went ; by and the Vances' and the others came and cleared and settled and the children grew up and the wilderness changed into peaceful farms and the year of our Lord 1912 is here and stories like these seem hardy real, do i they? | iYOUR GRAY HAIRS QUICKLY VANISH I A Harmless Remedy, Made from Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair. A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs which unfortunately are looked upon as heralds of advancing age. Gray hair, however handsome it may be,' makes a person look old. We all know the advantages of being young, .'.side from the good impression a youthful appearance makes on others, (imply knowing that you are “looking fit’’ gives one courage to undertake and accomplish things. So why Buffer the handcap of looking old on ac-' count of gray hairs, when a simple remedy will give your hair youthful color and beauty ir a few days’ time? Most people know that common garden sage acts as a color restorer and scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers used a "sage tea” for keeping their hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur' Hair Remedy we have an ideal prep-1 aration of sage, combined with sul- 1 phur and other valuable remedes for' dandruff, itching scalp and thin, weak 1 hair that is split at the ends or con-' stantly coming out. A few- applications of this valuable remedy will' bring back the color, and in a short time it yvlll remove every trace of dandruff and greatly improve the 1 growth and appearance of the hair. Reta fifty-cent bottle from your druggist today, and notice the differ ence in your hair after a few days' treatment. All druggists sell it, under guarantee that the money will be' refunded if the remedy is not exactly as represented. Holthouse Drug Co,, Agents. SHOE REPAIRING.
