Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, .ndiana, as second class matter. It was decided at yesterday's district meeting that the congressional convention be held at Bluffton on the Monday following the state convention. The nominee of that convention will of course be the fearless leader and present popular official, Hon. John A. M. Adair. The Gary Tribune objects to our statement that they are supporting Wilson. They prefer to be classed as supporters of the new currency bill. It's a slight splitting of hairs, but if it suits them better, so be it. At least it cannot be denied that the* editorials which have been appearing in that paper recently were very complimentary to the administration. The democratic love feast to be field at Indianapolis next week will be one of the gnat political gatherings of the year. At that time the date for the state convenient will be tlxed and the banquet will bo one worth attending. The headliner is an address by Repn ■ 1 ive Glass, co-author of the currt 11.

anee of the people, they will make I progress. i Congressman Adair becomes more < popular each year he serves the peo- , pie and he does it because he keeps . his word. He never breaks a promise, , whether it be made publicly or privately. He is a hard worker for the I people he represents and the voters I of the Eighth district know they have I in their employ as a member of con- I gress one of the ablest and best men in that great department of the nation’s government. t The New Year is at hand It’s up to you, the people of Adams county, to bury any difference you may have and to start with a determination to make 1914 the greatest year in all the history of this great county. We can do it and we should. If every man in this city and county will make up ills mind to do something towaid progress tills year it would make a great difference in twelve months. Try it. The Tri-Kappa club, composed of a number of the best known young ladies of tliis city, yesterday had entile charge of the Herald. They solicited all the advertising and did all the writing, in fact did everything but the mechanical work and every one is glad for the announcement that they made money, for it is to be used for charity. We congratulate the ladies and assure them they have proven that they can do things. The papci was newsy, well aranged. and displayed cleverness in every department and we are sure was enjoyed by the general public. The district convention held at Muncie yesterday was one of the most enthusiastic ever held in this old Eighth, which has been the scene of .some mighty interesting battles in the past score of years. Even though there was no controversy, it being conceded that W. A. Kunkle had earned a second term as district chairman, the attendance was large, the speeches rang with a sincerity that could not lie doubted and the organization was in every way jierfect. Mr.

Kunkle has proven himself a splendid man to head the commltee and his organization shows perfect harmony. The democracy of the Eighth is in shape to meet the enemy or enemies and they will win a greater victory next fall than ever in history. j DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL LIST. Tuesday. St. Vincent de Paul—Mrs. Charles N. Christen. Friday. Mite Society Mrs. Dallas Hower. Eureka—Mrs. Clarence Baughman. New Year’* Resolution. Everybody, everybody's doing it —yes —everybody is making, or has made, New Year resolutions. Mine is: ‘Just to be happy.” If people were taught the duty of being happy the world would be infinitely better and brighter, and to each individual would come the satisfying happiness of work well done. To be happy ourselves is a most effective contribution to the happiness of others. ‘‘Keeping happy through good report, and through evil times, so serenely, surely, happy, that every soul that touches yours (though it be the slightest contact) gets some helpful good, some little grace to make this life worth while and Heaven a surer heritage.” Practice happiness, cultivate liappiness, radiate happiness — and you will be happy and will meet happiness on every hand. "A health unto the happy, a tig for him who frets. It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining violets.” —. —L. 8. 8.. Canada, in Woman's Home Companion.
