Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Governor Ralston has issued a proclamation asking hunters to give up their sport for a few weeks until the foot and mouth disease has been stamped out of Indiana. It should be complied with and we believe it will generally. . Francis G. Newlands has been declared the winner in the senatorship fight in Nevada by 550, defeating Samuel Platt, republican, and the democrats are jubilant. The official vote was required to decide the winner, each side claiming the victory. The fact that business is improving everywhere and so soon after the election, notwithstanding the republican claims of what would happen if the democrats were successful must worry some of the g. o. p. leaders and the newspapers who yelped so loud before November 3rd. Anyway they are keeping wonderfully silent about the subject. The New York cotton exchange will open for business Monday after being closed for several months following the announcement of war in Europe. The decision was reached yesterday by the board of governors, and was received with great enthusiasm by those on the floor of the exchange at the time. It means another step toward prosperity and good times. The women of Huntington will vote with the men on the location of 3 new school house to be erected there. The plan was proposed by the Huntington Press, a morning newspaper, and met the good favor of everyone in the city. Much interest is being taken in the campaign as it is the first opportunity the women there have been given the right of suffrage. George A. Bittier, democratic candidate for treasurer of state, led the ticket as to size of vote, receiving 267,789, which was about five thousand more than that given Mr. Cook, the candidate for secretary of state and against whom a terrific fight was made. The fact that Mr. Bittier led the field was good news for his many friends in this part of the state and the young man is being congratulated

for his splendid showing. His plurality Is about 35,000, while that of Mr. Shively for the senatorship was ten thousand more than that figure. When one of these protection bugs comes around talking about the democratic tariff injuring the farmer, ask him how It comes that the fatal value of farm crops in the United States for the present year is the largest in the history of the country, and this in spite of the fact that the European war cut the value of the cotton crop squarely in two, thereby reducing the grand total by more than four hundred millions of dollars. The total value of the crops this year was $6,068,742,000. —Columbia City Post. Various cities in Indiana are send ing food and money to the Belgians and several people in this county are interested in the movement. The people of that country are suffering as a result of the terrible war and the sympathies of this country bountiful ly blessed as to crops, at peace with all the world, goes out to the suffering millions of the war devastated country. It is likely that definite steps toward sending a car load of food stuffs from this county may be taken within the next few days and it is safe to say that the liberal anl kind-hearted people of Adams county would respond to the call.

STRONG APPEAL ——. Is Made to Public to Help in Campaign Against the White Plague. BUY THE SEALS The Red Cross Campaign is Starting—No One Immune from Disease. The national slogan, “Buy American Made Goods," is one that meets with the approval of the members of the Indiana Red Cross seals commission. It hinges closely on the fight the commission is making for the alleviation of disease conditions in Indiana with particular reference to tuberculosis. Without opposing in any way the humanitarian impulses which are pulling the heart strings of Americans in the direction of homeless and diseaseridden victims of the European war, the sentiment prevails that right here in "good old Indiana” we must make a larger provision than ever before for the fatherless and motherless victims of the monster siege guns in the camp of that merciless enemy, tuberculosis. Thousands of cripples from bone tuberculosis are to be seen on th? streets of Indiana cities. Hundreds of wan faces peer out of the windows of orphan asylums, a countless number of widows are today bending weary backs over the washboard because the "white plague” has robbed the family of its former wage-earner. The Red Cross Seal campaign in Indiana this year is being conducted with unprecedented intensiveness. Unusually strong appeals will be made to the thinking men and women of the state, to rally to the standard of the Ruble barred Red Cross in a Herculean effort to crush consumption in Indiana. Progress that has been made 'within the past few months has demonstrated the need for a larger war fund in scores of Hoosier communities. The fact that no one, rich or poor, young or old, is immune from the raviges of the common foe, should inluce every one to lend liberal support his year. Ninety per cent of the mon■y derived from the sale of Red Cross seals remains in Indiana to be used n combatting tuberculosis. Anyone interested in the campaign is urged to communicate with the state headquarers, 203 Public Savings Insurance 31dg., 147 E. Market street, Indianipolis. o— ■ HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

SURVEYING IN FAR NORTH Work Hat to Be Done Qulokly or Party It In Grave Danger of Being Frozen In. North of the Porcupine river, on the upper section of the Alaska! anada boundary survey, the geodesists assigned to this work by the two governments found that only 100 days elapsed from the first navigation up tho river in May until It was time to retreat rather than take the risk of b< ing frozen tn. The highest and most difficult climbs on the work were probably made this last season, when one of tho Canadian topographical parties occupied Mount Natazhat, 13,000 feet high, and a Joint American and Cana dtan party succeeded in getting up without about two thousand feet of tho summit of Mount St. Ellas, which towers 18,000 feet above the sea. This party would probably have been successful in reaching the summit had not a four days’ snow storm depleted theli supplies to such an extent that they were forced to retreat to their base, 40 miles away over the glaciers. En glneerlng Record. WELL ADAPTED TO THE WORK Dredge Employed to Dig Channel Through Cranberry Marsh a Credit to Designers. Tn Wisconsin there is a clamshell bucket dredge in use which at each shovelful removes an amount of material much greater than the size of the bucket itself. The reason is that the outfit is being used to dig a channel through a cranberry marsh, where the material to be cleared away varies all the way from tangled weeds to hardpan. The eventual object of this channel, which is 30 feet wide and t: feet deep, is to drain 1,500 acres of cranberry land. In one section of this land there is a lake, the waters ol which must be distributed throughout the bogs during certain seasons of the year. The use of this type of bucket which, besides digging into hard ground, will also come away with bush els of underbrush, matted boughs etc., hanging from its jaws, illustrates the art of adapting the tool to the work. —Popular Mechanics. Angleworm “Farm." There are "farms,” it seems, the products of which bear no relation to farming as ordinarily pursued. The latest addition to the list is an angleworm "farm,* conducted by Mr. W. Orton Moon, who lives near Grand Rapids, Mich. Hie farm Is one of the curiosities of Michigan. It consists of 25 pails, pots, pans and old crocks. Each receptacle, or “field,” contains from 40 to 500 angleworms. During the last three years his peculiar crop has netted him SI,OOO annually. He delivers his worms in oiledpaper packages, one dozen to the package, at ten cents each. Here is his way of rearing angleworms: Get several good angleworms. Place them In an ordinary pail, or granite receptacle, with two double handfuls of earth. Feed the worms twice a day on coffee grounds and corn meal. They will thrive and multiply.—Youth's Companion. Fine Archeological Specimens. Archeological discoveries of great importance have been made in the excavations at Alise Sainte Relne —the ancient stronghold of the Gauls which was defended against Caesar by Vercingetorix. At the spot known as Saint Pere cemetery, near the sixth-century Christian basilica discovered last year, M. Pernet, who is directing the searches, has exhumed the skeleton of a warrior, having at his right side a splendid Iron sword and at his left side a dagger of similar metal, with the worm-eaten remains cf a wooden sheath. At a short distance away three ancient hunting knives were found, together with a bronze ornament—a marvelous piece of work, representing the head of an animal. This latter is considered the finese specimen of its kind unearthed so far in the excavations, and has been placed in the Alesia museum at Sainte Heine. Captain’s Remarkable Record. After an absence of 42 years, Capt. John Leale, a well-known Englishman on the Pacific coast, is returning to England, having established a remarkable record in seamanship in America. He retired, after 50 years’ service, In May. He was a veteran skipper of the ferry service at San Francisco. Cai, and has traveled more than one million miles on the waters of the Bay of San Francisco and the rivers that empty into It. In all that time, though he had had millions in his care, he never lost a passenger and never had a serious accident. It is the record of the bay. “The Living Hope of Mankind.” In spite of the rawness and vehemence and a scum of blatant, oh’ quite asinine folly, the United States of America remains the greatest country in the world and the living hope of mankind, writes H. G. Wells in the Passionate Friends. It is the supreme break with the old tradition: it is the freshest and most valiant beginning that has ever been made ir, human life. More Modern Way. “When the district attorney fixed rhe jury with his glittering eyes I felt ture I would be convicted.” “Glittering eyes are not always the best things with which to fix a jury.”

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Dr. A. F. Nelson, state veterinarian, reported two additional cases of foot and mouth disease today. One in Howard county and one in Daviess county. The situation shows general improvement. But there is no telling what “an hour may bring forth.” —o QUICK ACTION SAVED LIVES. New oYrk. Nov. 14ffi( Special to the Daily Democrat)— Only prompt action by Policemen George L. O'Connor saved probably the lives of Governorelect Whitman and others today. He found a bomb with a fuse burning in the Bronx court house directly under Whitman’s office. He tore the fuse off and carried the instrument away. It was found to have containen enough explosives to destroy the building. —o — FIXES DISCOUNT RATE. Washington, Nov. 14—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The federal reserve board this afternoon fixed 6 per cent as the discount rate of all ma, turities on the federal, reserve bank district of Boston, Cleveland, Richmond and St. Louis.

Thousands All Over Country Responding to “S O S” Wireless Sent Out by Churches GO TO CHURCH! Think for one minute what this world would bo without churches. Are you doing your part to support them by your attendance? In recent years there had been a surprising falling oft in church attendance figures. People stayed away from church — some because they had lost faith, but the great number simply because they had become apathetic. It was time that this apathy ceased. And it has to a large extent. With the advent of the GO TO CHURCH movement there has been a splendid awakening all over the country. Religion had only been dormant. The GO TO CHURCH call found a ready response. New churches have sprung up in many quarters. The old churches, which for some time past were remarkable for their empty pew-, suddenly took on new life. The pews were filled. Men and women ! who had not been to church in a decade came back to the fold. They brought with them others. THE CHURCHES SENT OUT A “S O S’’ WIRELESS. NEWSPAPERS HELPED. SO DID THE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. SO DID THE TRADESMEN. NOVEL IDEAS FOR WORKING UP ENTHUSIASM WERE PLENTIFUL. IN CHICAGO, FOR INSTANCE, FIFTY BARBERS IN SHOPS ON THE WEST SIDE WERE ENLISTED. THE PLAN OF INTERESTING THEM WAS HIT UPON BY A CLERGYMAN WHILE UNDERGOING A RAZOR OPERATION. HE ASKED THE BARBER TO REFER TO THE GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT WHILE SHAVING HIS CUSTOMERS, AND THE ARTIST OF THE STROP CONSENTED. SHOP AFTER SHOP WAS VISITED UNTIL FIFTY AGREED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE MOVEMENT. THE PLAN WORKED WONDERFUL RESULTS. ALL THAT THE PEOPLE WANTED WAS A REMINDER. THE STORY OF CHICAGO IS THE STORY OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER PLACES. EVERYBODY HELPED THE THING ALONG. DO YOUR PART. GO TO CHURCH! Keep GOING TO CHURCH!
