Editor Toner of Anderson, the bull moose nominee for congress in this district, is doing a little skylarking in his automobile over this county just now, trying to edge in. He's a newspaper man and and course he’s a nice fellow, but oh, you Johnny Adair, you’re good cncugh for us. Hon. S. M. Ralston, the democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, is making splendid headway in his campaign. He is an honest and sincere statesman and will make a governor whose recc’d will stand during the years to come. He is a laywer of great ability, a citizen for whom the people of his home county are always ready to battle, and he deserves the support of every citizen of the state. A Hartford City man claims that ' while shaking bands with Woodrow . Wilson, the latter held on to him after j the train had started, and the pull i dislocated his shoulder. Well, that's I some grip and it's to be hoped that ■ after he is elected president, the New ! Jersey governor will secure the same , kind on the high cost of living, the I trusts and other combinations which • have kept so many of us poor. The rainy weather this week is ex- : plained by the fact that this was to have been the Great Northern fair week. For once the association has fooled the weather man, however, and he is possibly not aware that the annual fair was called off for this year. It is hoped that he will fix things up for a fair and warm week for October 14tM to 19tb, the date of the Old Home Week. Voters of Adams county should remember that it' they have moved into another precinct since registering that they will have to secure a certificate from the county auditor and register again. This certificate must be secured before October 3rd, as they cannot be issued after the books are taken from the office. Please don’t neglect this as there is no way of correcting it, and you will lose your vote. ■ Democrats of Adams county, if you ‘ havn’t registered or if you have and know of any one who has not, get busy. The last registration will occur October 7th, and if you don't register you will disfranchise yourself. Don't get any foolish notion into your head that you will be allowed to vote whether you register or not, for that isn’t the case. No one will be allowed to cast a ballot November sth in Indiana unless he has registered as provided by law. You should be a part of your community and state and you are not if you do not take a part in the election of the men who make our laws and govern the affairs. It is required that you register. The law was made in good faith, and is

BREAKS HIS FINGER Laid Up from Work Several Weeks—Slipped on Polished Floor. Aaron DeVinney, while painting at the Citizens’ Telephone office Tuesday afternoon had the misfortune of having the third finger of his left hand broken. DeVinney was engaged in polishing the floor which surrounds ■ the switchboard and as the finish is I to be as smooth as it is possible to make it, it became very slippery. Harve Smith was working along' the board and when the work of the I two men conflicted they playfully en-! gaged in a wrestling match with the' result that DeVinney slipped on the polished floor and in the fall alighted on the finger, splintering the bone. 1 He was at once taken to the office 1 of his physician where the injured finger was set. He will be unable to; go on with the work for several days, I it requiring from one to three weeks for the injury to heal. Mr. DeVinney still believes himself lucky in not being injured more seriously than he was. o STRAYED—Horse weighing about 1,300 pounds, with one white hind foot. Any information send to John Lenhart, Decatur, Ind. 22!t3
