NO EXAGGERATION: — In state convention the democrats of Kentucky indulged in no exaggeration when in their platform they addressed themselves to President Wilson. , He has proved himself, as they say, “the master of the situation," so far as our relation to the war in Europe is concerned. There can be no doubt that he is “the party’s most efficient and trusted leader.” That “patriots without regard to party” will recognize in him “the one man best suited to perform the tasks confronting the president of the United States” fbr the term beginning a year from next March is a statement which probably will be challenged, but, put to the test today, who can doubt that it would be indorsed by a great majority of the people? The ship of state is passing through deep and turbulent waters. It is captained by one who is sober, wise, patient and unflinching in his devotion of principle. Who would supercede the man of law and right and firmness with a men of wrath, of a man of sentiment, or a man only of promise? Although Kentucky cannot be said to have opened the presidential campaign of 1916, it lias most opportunely asked attention to the fact that the welfare of the nation, not for the first time in its history, is largely in the keeping of a map whose qualities of mind and heart appear to have been provided for the emergency that thus far he has met without faltering. The above words from the New York World are timely.—Marion Leader-Tribune. The frost was light and the crops wil continue to mature. After all it will be an average season from present appearances. Keep your chin up. Are you a booster for Adams county? Well, then, you will help make the fair a success. It's the big institution of the county in the way of annual entertainment.

LAST RITES HELD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Born April 4, 1880, at Chicago, of German father and American mother, reared in a modest Chicago home, trained in the public schools, this winsome lad became our office boy at 16. Willing, eager to learn, industrious, steady as a clock, the boy mastered first one detail, than another, until he soon became indispensable. While “chasing copy” from the Chicago advertising agencies, he began to pick up business which otherwise might have been overlooked and rapidly extended his circle of devoted friends. He studied the customer’s problems, suggested how to solve them, wrote the advertisements, outlined the “follow up", and made his services so profitable to advertisers in our publications as to be remunerative to his employers as well as to himself.

Otto H. Haubold's abilities soon became widely recognized. It is not coo much to say that of late years he had stopd at the head of the brilliant galaxy of advertising men who honor salesmanship, dignity publicity, promote agriculture and improve rural life. Mr. Haubold forged ahead in the business, became western manager of Orange Judd. Farmer and a director of Orange Judd company. His prescience led him eariv to realize the boundless posibilities of the American Northwest and to him is due much of the credit for the establishment of Northwest Farmstead at Minneapolis as one of the five Orange Judd farm weeklies. Its rapid development was insure,} by his capable, faithful and indefatigable efforts; he was its manager and treasurer. A man achieves and holds such positions early in life only on true merits. By that I mean more than industry or ability—true merit in the fierce competition of modern business implies serength of character, honesty of purpose, uprightness- of method, fine idealism, united to sound judgment, trained mind, firmness of will, persistent application, inherent tact ir. dealing with men and measures, power to overcome obstacles', above ail loyalty, together with devotion to the Golden Rule. Because Otto Haubold not only possessed but used aU of these attributes he was a distinguished success in business. Far larger yet was his success in those spiritual relations which in real life so transcend the material Beauty of character, charm of disposition, sincerity of heart, winsomencss of countenance, simplicity of manner, nobility that stooped to no evil, devotion to the best and highest—these characteristies graced a life rich in service to the country and to his friends. Os course such a man was a devoted son and brother, husband and father. He is survived by both parents, a wife and three little children, two sisters, and by a brother, Arthur C. Haubold. The latter began working with his brother in our business years ago, and during Otto’s three years’ serious sickness which ended at Precott. Ariz., September 16, 1915, has shown a devotion which is tjie finest posible expression of Otto's own character. Young America need never go wrong with such inspiring examples.—(H. M.)

MAKE KING TRIP Auto Party from Frisco to Toronto Stops Here Over Night AT GORDON HOME Visit With Cousins First in 25 Years—Trip Across the Continent. ‘■'From 'Frisco to Toronto” was the interesting pennant displayed on the Dodge automobile that stopped in this city two nights and a day, while the members of the automobile party were guests of their cousins. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gordon, whom they had not seen for twenty-five years. The pennant tells in brief of their long and delightful trip, but there is very, very much more that can be said of its delights. The members of the party were Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Newton of Oakland, Cal.; Charles Marshall of San Francisco, leaving California tlic mcdulv of July. They stopped in Michigan, enroute, and then went to Toronto, spending six weeks in that vicinity, visiting with relatives. They then came back to Detroit, where they were joined by a Mrs. Pearson, who is accompanying them home. They stopped here two nights and a day with the Gordons, of the sugar company, leaving this morning for their long trip home, where they expect to arrive by the middle of October. Their trip over the great desert, across the mountains and other interesting places, was made without an accident. The only thing that savors at all of misfortune happened since they left Detroit on the return trip, being two punctures. During their long trip, they met with various extremes. For 500 miles their way lay over the great desert, where only sage brush grew, with alkali find rocks also plenty. There were various stopping places where gasoline and water were sold. At places gasoline ran as high as 55 cents a gallon. Mr. Newton stocked up with fifteen gallons in hfs tank and fifteen gallons in smaUer tanks, at thirty cents and thus Avoided the higher price. They were two days on the desert and oaraped out. Before they reached Nebraska, there was a cloud burst and water and mud through Nebraska was in evidence.. In some places it was necessary to go ahead and see how deep the waler was, in order to be sure of -getting through. They were sixteen days n making the trip, of 3200 miles front Oakland to Detroit, coming byway of Chicago. They are returning byway of the southern route to avoid the snows in the mountains. They left here for Indianapolis, then go to St. Louis, Kansas City, LaJunta and Trinidad, Col: and Phoenix, Arizona. While in Detroit, Mr. Newton visited the Dodge automobile factory and they
