Indiana, as second-class matter. Now all together for a community that can give a Community Supper so big that we will have to hold it in a ten-acre field to accommodate those who wish to attend. There are so many things we can do if we will and if we try to do them instead of looking for something to find fault with. Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosperity—these are the issues upon which the democratic party stands, and the heart of democracy swells with pride that is more than the pride of party, as it hails the man who has asserted this Americanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this prosperity.—From Governor Glynn’s keynote speech at the St Louis convention. • Notwithstanding the fact that republican newspapers and some politicians are trying their best to prove that everything that happens, including the weather, is due to the fact that President Wilson once taught school, that splendid and fearless and brilliant leader continues to lead and to do it in the wise and careful manner that brings to him the assistance and the co-operation of the greatest men of the age. The people are for the president and they will uphold him.

Thanks to democracy and to democracy's great leader, the business man who is struggling to establish himself may now work out his destiny without living in terror of panics and hard times. The toiler in the factory may ply his tasks in security, knowing that his employer’s business is safe from assault. The farmer who must borrow to move his crops may

do so without spending his days In anxiety, his bights In nightmares of foreclosure and disaster. Truly the scholar-statesman, whose rod has struck the golden rock of America's resources, to act free the wealth imprisoned for half a century, is a Moses who has led America's industries from the wilderness of doubt and despair to the promised land of prosperity and hope.—From Governor Glynn's keynote speech at the St. Louis convention. • | DOINGS IN SOCIETY [ ■ attV?ICtUIG!’*!UtEL*'.trt.'HUHUUUHn 2 WEEK'B SOCIAL CALENDAR.

Nothing’ will be done, however, until General Pershing’s report which is expected about noon, is received. It appeared that it would aggravate rather than relieve the situation.
