Lincoln’s birthday is being celebrated today all over this great land, north and south, east and west, by people ol every political belief and religious faith. The great war president is still the idol of the American people and . his memory will be cherished as long as this government stands. Adams county can have the best week in the eighty years’ existence of this best of the ninety-two in the state of Indiana, if we will get into the game and do a little planning. The Old Home Week here was a good one. Why not have a meeting of the committee which conducted that affair and let them add the names of a representative from each township and corporation? With the exhibits that can be secured from over the state and the showing that this county can make, we can have a centennial that will be remembered for several score of years. If a little interest is manifested by the people of the county we . can do it. What do you say about it? i "Theodore reminds me of a certain cow on my father's farm in Missouri. She was an old brindle cow. She could eat more nubbins, she could con- .< sume more chop and bran, she could 1 tear down more fences, she could de- 1 stroy more crops, she could bellow louder, she could paw deeper holes, she could throw more dirt with her pawing, and she could give less milk than any other cow on tire place.’’— Governor Major at editorial banquet. Governor Major did not know how excellently that same description fits quite a bunch of Republicans and their newspaper supporters in Indiana. With the rest of the country the Governor must also remove his hat to the effect of that awful bellow from Theodoie when it comes to stampeding National Republican conventions. —Hancock Democrat.

The annual children’s party for Masonic and Eastern Star children last evening at the Masonic hall was more than usually enjoyable, as all can testify. When the grand march was formed to start the entertainment ball rolling, there were eighty-three lined up. Miss Vera Hower played the inarch and when this broke into groups at last, they were handed cotillion favors by Miss Leah Hensley. While the older children danced, the Misses Agnes Gillig and Nellie Blackburn told stories to the littler folks who listened with" intense interest. During the recreation hour also, baskets of apples were passed and later the children were taken to the dining room where the Misses Nellie Blackburn, Agnes Gillig and Leah Hensley served ice cream and cake in heart shape, and heart shaped candies. The Historical club heard a fine paper from Mrs C. D, Teeple yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W- £• E. Smith, the subject being “Tlie Creed that Counts.” The place of meetting next week has not yet been decided. The Zion Lutheran ladies had another quilting bee at the school house yesterday afternoon and enjoyed themselves socially as well. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Peoples entertained last evening for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Blosser. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Yoder, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Brushwiller. The ladies crocheted while the gentlemen amused themselves otherwise. There was music and a tempting luncheon. The second of the two needle parties given by Mrs. M. A. Frisinger and Mrs. Sim Burk at the Frisinger home was for twenty-seven ladies who enjoyed yesterday afternoon with its fine entertainment. In a heart outlining contest Mrs. E. B. Adams was given the prize for the best outline and needlework. The valentine emblems and colors, with flowers, prevailed in the decoration, as it did in the menu which was served at little tables, from Hie following: Pressed chicken, creamed potatoes, escalloped corn, beet pickles in heart shapes, salad, coffee, nuts, ice cream and cake in heart shapes. Miss Vivian Burk assisted in serving. There were many at the meeting of the Mite society at the M. E. church when the February section, of. which Mrs. J. S. Peterson and Mrs. George Flanders are chairman, entertained. The collection was $6.50. o LARGE CROWDS AT U. B. CHURCH There is a large attendance at the meetings at the United Brethren church. Some nights the house is overcrowded. The interest of the meetings is still on the increase. Last night six were at the altar in prayer. Five were saved. People are attending from all parts of the city, and some from the vicinity about 4he city. Last night the pastor preached from the topic, “Pitching Your Tents Toward Sodom.” Gen. 13:12. “Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.” Next Sunday night a similar line of thought will be followed. under the theme of “Going Toward Sodom.” Gen. 19:24-28. Some of the present social, civic and individual evils will be considered, leading toward Sodom, or destruction. a Democrat Want Ads Pav |

W MR. HAROLD D. SAURER Baritone, who will sing at Masonic hall Monday Evening, February 14, Glowing reports are being received of Mr. Saurer’s recitals in other cities From Evanston, 111., a friend of one of the members of the Euterpean club writes: “He is wonderful. You will never regret having him come j to Decatur.” From Yankton, S. D., where he sang in the annual produe--1 tion of “The Messiah,” following some of the most noted baritones in the country: "We liked him better than any baritone we have ever had." t From Bluffton another writes: “He slugs beautifully and is entirelv lln affected. I took with me two friends w|io are not usually fond of chs<4 cal music and they were as en thus las-tic. as any one could be.”

ANOTHER LETTER I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) riiice, what country will be the next .’ The war has continued for seventeen months, and still there is no end in view. In our country more men are continually being drawn into the servi ice. But we are all willing and ready to serve our fatherland. You have no doubt read hi your papers that we have taken possession of a part of ' Russia. This portion Is as large as half of the German kingdom. Belgium. Serbia and a portion of north ern France are also In our hands. The German army has defended and protected her reputation thus far and has accomplished much, even undei great difficulties. I was in Cologne yesterday. You know it is not far from here. 1 was surprised to find that one scarcely realizes there that a war is in progress, save that one sees many soldiers and many wounded everywhere. Much is being done for the wounded. Everywhere many persons are to be seen, especially Russians. They are busy in factories and in the field and they do the work of our men who have gone to the front. The Russians labor willingly and seem to be quite comfortable here. Consequently there is little need of guarding them very carefully. They walk or ride unguarded to their fvork and at night gladly return to their camps. Perhaps you have also read that we are suffering from lack of food. This is not the case.. Os course, the food supplies are little scarce and the prices are higher than usual, but that we must expect. Here we are not quite able to understand the position which America has taken toward us. Our countries have always been on the best of terms and we hope they will remain so. I have been sending you many illustrated papers lately. Have you received them? I have not been call ed upon to serve yet, but my call may come at any time. I am prepared to do my duty. With best wishes to you all, Your cousin. FERDINAND OTTO.
