The members of the Democratic Central committee of Adams county are hereby notified to meet at the democratic headquarters in the city of Decatur. Indiana, at 10 o’clock, a. ni., on' Saturday, February 14, 1914, at which time, persuaut to a call from the state central committee delegates will be selected to the democratic state convention to be held at Indianapolis March 19, and to -the congressional convention to be held at Bluff-| ton March 24. Other business will also be attended to. Under the appor-l tionment Adams county is entitled to nineteen delegates and nineteen alternates for each convention. AU democrats and all who wish to co-operate with the party are*invited to attend the meeting. J. W. BOSSE, Chairman. They are talking of taxing John D. Kockerfeller twelve million dollars I which would sure be some tax. He is likely to squeal long and loud and | he may be right in the contention tlmt its a little steep, but if that is one per cent of his income he ought to pay pretty handsomely. The queer! thing about this law as well as all ■ cthen is the sac t that it's all right for j the fellow who is hurt and all wrong J for the fellow who has to pay. If there was a time when the demo-'' crats ought to be happy, ought to be ! working hand in hand it is right now. I With President Wilson and the demo*l erotic congress making good as has ,i no administration in the past, with | democrats tn power over the state' and nation and each trying to do that which will be to the best interests of all the people, with the genera! trade conditions so bright that everv I person you meet is a booster, there! is no real reason except something personal why we should not be work- ■,

[Ling for the continued success of the *H y - , - Albert J. Beveridge has contribntY ed to Collier’s an article entitled "A Party Afraid of Itself." “The official action of the republican party, through its national committee, in refusing to call a national republican 8 convention for the fear that it would 0 make a platform dealing with the 9 vital questions of the time is abso--9 lutely unique in the chronicles not • only of American political parties, but of political parties in every free • country in the worul. No other party • ever before formally declared that it was afraid of itself. It is not pleasant to record the stages of that moral breakdown which has brought a once great political party to a state where it has no courage to fight for principles and no principles to fight for if i had the courage.” Mr. Beveridge then ■ shows the utter impossibility of fusion. He cites that the same plan was tried by a former political party when it had broken up, and that Lincoln denounced it and it fell through. "For the same reasons the amalgamator's device for reviving the republican party did not work because the proI gressive party and the republican i party do not believe in the same things," writes Mr. Beveridge. The only men who wanted to see tlie progressive and republican parties amalgamate were those who favor the polls system.—Columbia City Post. Full Os Business (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ' C. C.

The reason is. She has’nt the right kind of a corset. Just stop and ask her the kind of a corset and the price she pays, and if she does’nt like it, it is because she has not been properly fitted or has been wearing a $1 or $2 cheap corset. Don’t be fooled, but ask for the HENDERSON or LAPRINCESS CORSET Price from $3.00 to $6.00 Come in and be properly fitted the same as hundreds of others are being fitted.
