Hon. Thomas Taggart, Indiana national committeeman, called on President Wilson yesterday, by Invitation, and was cordially received. It was his first visit to the white house since Mr. Cleveland retired from the presidency. Evidently Mr. Wilson thinks well of the Indiana committeeman, notwithstanding the many reports published about him by the republican press. Adams county farmers should Interest themselves in intensive farming. They want to progress and they want to make the investment in their land as profitable as possible. To do this they should take advantage of the progress taught by science. If they organize they will advance in away that will be to their personal Interest as well as to that of this community.
