Entered at the Postoflice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-clasa matter. Eighth district democrats will gather at Elwood on the twenty-ninth of this month, at which time a barbecue will be given, opening the 1916 campaign, with such speakers as James, Lewis, Kern and Ralston on the program. Four weeks from today will be gov ernors day at the Adams county fair, at which time Governor Ralston accompanied by a dozen state officials and prominent candidates will behere. Fix that (late in your mind and get ready to come and bring your friends. Jim Watson says that lie is shortly to announce his candidacy for the United States Senate from Indiana and that he will win both the nomination and the election. That prediction is something about like he said along about the time lie was running for governor of Hoosierdom.— Muncie Star. Farmers in this section have certainly taken advantage of the weather during the ]>ast two weeks and as a result most of them have saved the greater part of the oats which for a time looked like a teta 1 failure. Toe corn is coming too and a couple of more weeks of good sunshine will save enough of it to make the average farmer happy. Yep it could be worse. John Wanamaker, who is presumed to know—and we guess he does—more about the relative values of advertising mediums than any other department store man in the world, recently stated that he had spent $15,000,000 in real money for advertising space. Wanamaker proved Newspaperdom's contention that newspaper advertising pays best when he said: "I have spent $15,000,000 in advertising, and of this amount $i4.0n0,000 went to the newspapers. I would undoubtedly have spent a much larger sum had I felt that the newspapers were more efficient in the service they rendered me.” Upon the face of Wanamaker's remarks, it is very evident, nevertheless, that newspapers paid him handsomely—for he would never have spent so enormous an amount of money upon any other basis. The faith of the people in Wanamaker’s advertising, and the faith of Wanmaker in newspaper publicity, havfe been These Cool 7 U x * Si' / / / s *$ i / K.- £ 3 V ■ 9 J* —■ V" *C 4 c a man “the “cracltf- ’ country diattwn home runs critr wS Its not %Cturc 1 01b 06

inseparable those many years.— i Newspaperdom. Wo wore humiliated the other day by reading in a Chicago newspaper that Illinois had three "leading" candidates. on the republican side, for the presidential nomination. The convention is barely ton months off, and politics must have fallen into a contemptible state if at this comparatively late day only three favorite sons of Illinois have advanced their presidential aspiraitons to a stage where they can be regarded as "leading” candidates. Illinois contains upward of a million native-born white males of voting age, about half of whom are republicans. The invidious constitutional requirement that the president must be thirty-five yna-s old may dis qualify ten or fifteen per cent of them. Thirty or forty per cent may be disqualified by bad habits, inability to write, lack of a plug hat and other fortuitous disadvantages. Among the remaining two hundred thousand and odd there must be relatively few who could not. with some practice, 1j whatever the leading three have dine byway of seting up a provisional lien on the white house —Saturday Evening Post. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.

(United Press Serviced The itinerant preacher riding up to the cabin and "halloing the house" to see if anyone was at home and unloading his saddle bags to stop for the night, was a welcome occurrence on the frontier. In the isolation of the wilderness the settlers longed for companionship and the minister was always the most considerable personage of the community and he was always sure of a warm welcome and a good chicken dinner. These men were representatives of the muscular Christianity required on the frontier and were a part of what Mr. Nicholson has termed, that vigorous Protestant evangelization of Indiana, which triumpher over mud and malar.a and.carried the gospel far beyond the sound of the church bells.—Julia Levering, in "Historic Indiana." o AFTER CAN COMPANY. Baltimore. Md.. Sept. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —An anti-trust suit brief against the American Can com pany was filed by the justice department in federal court here today. Summed up. it was the government’s contention that while a business's internal expansion may be unlimited, the law prohibits the combining of competitive trade units which together would occupy a preponderant position in any branch of trade. It was charged that the can company has done this. 0 — ABOUT THE SICK. Mrs. C. E.
