It will very probably, too, be the world's greatest battle, in which the Germans must win and the allied forces dare not lose. Betty Blythe is right when she says that Adams county has never had any officials excepting democrats and that she is the banner democratic county of the state. We believe the democrats are proud of that record ami proud of the manner in which the affairs have been transacted. Peace seems mighty sw'eet to every American reader when he scans the daily paper of today and realizes something of the tear and the suffering and the terrible devastation now being scattered over nearly every country of Europe. The stars and stripes look good to us and President Wilson’s position on foreign affairs will be admired and agreed with by every fair minded American. September Sth is the date for the

Perhaps no lecture of the week will arouse more interest than did that of Mr. Ott on Tuesday night. Comments have been numerous, but after all, he did what every lecturci and every newspaper man and every person who is trying to awaken the public, is trying to do, for he made them talk about what he had said. If the people of this community will take his advise concerning a Y. M. C. A. or a Boys City or any other dean amusement place for the young peopb’ Mr. Ott will have performed a service that should make him ever pop ular. The war news service in the Daily Democrat consists of the very latest dispatches from the United Press service and is received at this offi-e over a leased wire. It is dependable news from one of the greatest news agencies in the world. The news you read in the Democrat each evening is reproduced the next morning in the big city papers. The U. P. has correspondents in every locality where the war is in progress and they have al

ready produced a number of important scoops. If you want real war news, right of the wire, read the Daily Dem ocrat each evening. Our report if not padded but instead is boiled down We believe there is no doubt but that the people of this community will want the Redpath chautauqua for next year and that they will gladly respond to the guarantee required to get it | even though there is a slight increase. ' The program next year is to be the, ‘greatest ever offered by any chautar ' qua and at the advanced price will cost you but about twelve cents for eaci. entertainment. When the high clast of lectures, concerts and entertain ments are considered, no community can afford to hesitate when given th< opportunity to secure the Redpaths The showing made here this year i: a splendid one and the management |is delighted. Next year should b< even better. A 10 POUND BOY Fredrick is the name of the big ten pound boy born to Mr. and Mrs Andrew Wolpert of west of the city early this morning. This is theii fourth child.
