The tickets have been named and now for the home stretch. The next four weeks will be busy ones for the candidates and party workers. We present to you today the democratic ticket, selected last December at a county primary in which three thousand voters of Adams county took part. This ticket was not hand-pick-ed, but was selected after a several
weeks’ campaign with every democrat casting the vote which gave his preference. To be sure you may not have secured thus the entire ticket you voted for or desired, but it has been proven that in the course of years, the primary is the only safe way in which to select a county ticket for in a primary the majority rules while in a convention the nominations can be controlled by a few. The ticket as named above was chosen out of a field in which there were close contests in every race excepting one or two and we maintain that it is a worthy ticket, one If you want a genuine custom tailored suit for Fall, let us fill your order through our custom tailoring department, Ed. V. Price & Co. Merchant Tailors-Chicago will make the clothes as you want them, at a price that is lower than you would be asked by the average tailor and the quality and fit will please you beyond question, Leave your order today.

which every loyal democrat can support from top to bottom, feeling sure that theae men will fill with credit the cilice to which they aspire. Look them over carefully and see if you do not agree with us. R. C. Parrish leads the ticket as the candidate for representative. He 's well qualified for the place and his four years’ service as prosecuting attorney lias proven that he can do things and do them well. J. F. Fruchte the candidate for prosecutor, has practiced law here for years, has had the experience necessary and will servothe people of thetwenty-slxth judicial district in a capable manner. Will Hammell is a Decatur boy, born and reared here, and is self-made and deserving. Though badly crippled he has (forced his way up while men with better health have faltered. He is a graduate of the high school, a law student, and understands well the duties of the office to which he aspires. George Kinzle has served as manager of the Citizens’ Telephone company for twenty years and if he has a solitary tault we do not know what it is. He will prove efficient and trustworthy if elected county treasurer. A. C. Augsburger is a Berne business man, is clean and honest and worthy. As county recorder he will try to please and he will. Phil L. Macklin, as coun-
ty surveyor, has demonstrated that he can take care of the thousand duties that cotne to that official. His is a difficult office to fill, but Phil lias done his best to do each task assigned him as it should be done. Ed Green is the candidate for sheriff and has the quidifications. As a deputy sheriff he performed the duties of the office for several years. He has served as city marshal and understands the work of the sheriff's office thoroughly. You will be safe to put him in office. William Frazier is one of the popular men of the county, a pioneer of Blue Creek township, and deserving of the office he seeks. David Dilling and William Reppert are honest, conscientious and , efficient men. During the past few months they have served as commissioners and have tried their best to perform the work of their position in the best way possible for the people of the county. They will continue tc do so if honored with election.' Dr. D. D. Ciark is the nominee for corone' 1 . He has served in that position for several years, being the present official and his capabilities are well known over the county. We have given just a word about each candidate. We expect to tell you more about each but we insist that the ticket is worthy, well qualified and deserving of the support of every voter. Think the ticket over and see if it don’t just about suit you. The progressive meeting announced some time ago and postponed, is now being advertised for next Saturday, October 10, at which time W. A. Pierson, candidate for secretary of state, and Harry Kitzelman, candidate for congress, will speak at the court house. It is hard to understand how (he anti-democrats propose to hold a constitutional convention at a cost of a million dollars, give two million for a new building at Indianapolis and still reduce taxes, but we presume Mr. Bigelow will be able to explain it. If he can’t, Miltie can. no doubt.
The registration in this city was much larger tiian the vote cast two years ago. The democrats are wellpleased with the result of their campaign to register the vote and are confident of the result on election day. The reports from over the county also look good and it is believed the oldtime majority can be increased this year. Size up the democratic county ticket and you will find it composed of men deserving of success. This ticket was nominated at a primary election in which three thousand voters took part, not by seventeen precinct committeemen called together quietly and without even the knowledge of the other members. Which ticket do you think best represents the people of the county? The Citizens have suddenly been
struck with the idea that they don’t want anything persona! in this campaign and yet we have heard and read all kinds of personal attacks against democrats during the past six months. Now to awaken to the fact that two can play the game does not seem to suit. The attack was made by the in* dependents not by the democrats, and the latter certainly have the right to answer them. • Registration is over. Now for the battle. Tlie democrats of Adams county should increase their majority of former years. There is absolutely nothing to the talk that the party you have loved and worked for all these years became corrupt over night. The Wilson administration is one that every citizen of the United States feels proud of, if lie will be honest enough to admit it Why should not the democrats of Adams county prove their loyalty by the greatest victory in history this year? The report of the visiting committee of the 1913 legislature appointed by Governor Ralston to visit the penal, oenevolent and educational institutions, had for one of its signers, Jesse Eschbach, the republican floor leader of the house of representatives. Eschbach, in a signed report to the governor, stated that “We feel safe in saying that no state in the union gets better results from the money expended than does the state of Indiana.” This report, with Eschbach as one us the signers, is printed on page 482 of the 1913 House Journal. Eschbach is the chairman of the republican speakers’ bureau, which has charged tiie
democratic party with wilfull extravagance in connection with the 1913 legislature. In the light of Eschbach’s own admission that Indiana gets more for its money than any other state in the union it is difficult to see how he can reconcile the present attitude of the republican organization, of which he is a member, and his own statement as a member of the 1913 legisla ture. "I am glad to speak for the president at this time,” said Mr. Bryan, at the Star-Spangled Banner celebration in Baltimore, after paying a personal tribute to the chief magistrate’s singleness of purpose, “because he is a president who strives for peace. In this time of strife the president, had it been possible, would have been glad to come here and speak personally fur that principle. I am glad we have a president who will not allow the nation to be drawn into the vortex of war. He is not fearful that patriotism is lacking. He knows that if a million men were needed he could issue his call at sunrise and have the men at sundown. He knows that he would have the service of those who wore the Blue and those who wore the Gray that he would not only have the support of those of his own political faith but of all citizens.” For a moment Mr. Bryan dwell on the Mexican policy of the administration, saying’ "Some of our people seemed to doubt the wisdom of ’watchful waiting,’ and some were inclined to use the term ar one of ridicule. But times have changed mightily in the last few weeks ami now there is none who speak of that policy in other than terms of respect.”

Miss Effie Miller will entertain the Good Times club Friday evening at her home on Seventh street. The failure of simple ‘ understanding”—the cause of so many heartaches, family and otherwise is set fortli in an excellent way by Lillian Lauferty in a little poem “Love’s Crucible”, taken from a current newspaper: What a grim thing it is that you and I, So intimate, so bound by every tie, Can never read each other’s secret thougiit, Must be contented wiUi the glimpse we’ve caught, Can face each other calmly, eye to eye. And, with our souls protesting, speak a lie! That while you wound me with indifference Or cruel words er meager recompense. Your heart with love for me may be aglow, Yet, looking in your eyes, I cannot know’. Announcement was made Saturday afternoon of the elopement and marri-
age of Miss Rhue Lanning, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lanning, residing near Vera Cruz, and Mr. James Grove, son of Samuel Grove, re. siding southwest of Bluffton. Miss and Mr. Grove left this city last Wednesday evening for Hillsdale, Mich., and on Thursday morning were married by Justice of the Peace C. M. Weaver of Hillsdale. Following their marriage they immediately started back to this city and upon arriving here went to his father’s home southwest of the city, where they are now visiting. Mr. and Mrs. Grove will visit at his pai-ents for a week or ten days and will then go to housekeeping on a farm near Reifsburg. Miss Lanning has been employed as bookkeeper in the office of the King Piano company until a week or two ago. and is well known in this city. Mr. Grove is a prosperous young farmer and is also well known. Both bride and groom are popular in the community. Their wide circle of friends in this city extend their best wishes and congratulations to the young couple.—Bluffton News. A merry crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Durbin Sunday and gave them a farewell basket dinner. Mr. Durbin will have his sale Thursday, October 8. and will leave for North Dakota, where they will make their future home. While their many friends and relatives are sorry to see them go, and as it is so to be, we trust it will be for the best. We all wish them a safe journey, and hope they will prosper in the future. Besides the crowded tables of good things to eat, the family received many presents from their friends that they will always remember them by, and of the good time they had the day they received their presents. The day was very happily spent with music and other enjoyments, and everybody seemed to have a real good time. Those present were Mrs. Maggie Eley, the mother of Mrs. Durbin; George and Daniel Durbin, Bill Lehman of Berne. William Johnson of Pleasant Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Blowers and family of Berne, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wolfe and family, Mr. and Mrs. Boyer and family. Mr. and Mrs. William Durbin and family, Mr. and Mrs. Finley Striker and family of Berne, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Durbin and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Miller of Willshire, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Ben Allen and son, Vail, of Berne: Mrs. Mary Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Durbin and family. The crowd left at a late hour, wishing them many more good times, and if we are never permitted to meet again as we did on this occasion we hope that we may have the privilege of meeting again in a more beautiful home not made with hands.

A good attendance is desired. THE ARMYWORM (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) June. Each female deposits from ten to fifty eggs (and oftentimes many more) early in June and the complete life cycle of this generation requires only six or seven weeks, thus permitting the development of three gnerations per year| Farmers living in localities where the moths are so numerous can alleviate matters for themselves to a great extent by deep fall plowing and as I thorough harrowing as possible and by ■ burning the grass growing along fences, ditches, etc., where the larvae hibernate. When the worms appear in small numbers in the spring, they may be confined to restricted areas by poisoning a strip as grass or other vegetation surrounding them with arsenate of lead or parts green.
A liberal application of poison bran mash such as is used against cutworms is practical in places where the larvae are confined to limited areas. When they attain great numbers, how ever, and begin their characteristic inarch the practical method of heading them off is by the use of a dusty trench in the same manner that the migration of the chinch bug is checked. THE SECOND DAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) report for the month showing the amount of taxes collected. Quarterly report of fees were also filed as follows: Recorder, $344.05; auditor. $39.40; sheriff, $32.10; and clerk, $298.96. The contractor on the Mosure bridge was allowed extras not to exceed $32.
