THE GREAT RECORD:— The American people do not want war: Mr. Wilson has kept them out of war. The American people approve a policy of extensive preparedness to guarantee their safety as a nation and the noninterference of foreign powers with their rights and thetr commerce: Mr. Wilson has set in motion such a policy. In the great international crisis which came all unexpectedly upon him to demand so much of his patience and attention, he has handled with wisdom and at no sacrifice of the national honor. At the same time, in the conduct of the domestic affairs of the country he and his administration and the democratic congress have been tireless in the enactment of constructive legislation for the country’s benefit which in volume and beneficence has never been equalled. As L. Ames Brown in the Review of Reviews puts it: “The chief legislative measures for which the president stands personal ly responsible, are the Underwood tariff act, the federal reserve act, the trade commission act, the rural credits act and the tariff commission act. There is an imposing number of business. labor and public welfare enactments besides, which I have no space to discuss here. It is the greatest achievement of any American president of modern times. All of the measures named with the exception of the tariff act, has received or arc certain to receive the support of the substantial bodies of republicans in congress. The republican platform criticizes the rural credits act, but a majority of the republican members of congress voted for the measure. The republican platform declared for a tariff commission, and its authors refused to consider any declaration in criticism of the currency act. knowing too well the heartiness of the country’s appreciation of that measure.” The chautauqua will be a success. The sale of tickets is atyead of any previous year for this period. The program is an excellent on eand it looks now as though the event will be the biggest one of its kind ever held here. Such entertainments and high class lectures cannot help but have good results and you should be a booster. Buy a ticket and help the guarantors and committee out.

It is probable under the ruling of the committee of attorneys at Indianapolls that a complete registration will be necessary In this county.

The matter is now being investigated. The registration will be held October 9th. Lk L.J' 1 "- 1 3 DOINGS IN SOCIETY ( WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday. Christian Aid —Mrs. Sol David. Concord Leaders —Mrs. Fred Nye at C. C. Wilder home. Saturday. Evangelical Ladies’ Aid social — Court street. A Sonnet of Joy. Pure joy consists not of supreme content, , For in content is hopeless idleness; Not even when fulfillment comes to bless • The dream of love, is joy’s full glory lent. Money can bring it not. nor great gifts sent From Heaven; and the very saints confess That in well doing is a certain stress That robs them of supreme emolument Joy is the short lived parents of a song, Joy is the short lived offspring of a deed; Joy is the conscious righting of a wrong, But more than tjiis, it is the moment?, meed When you have grieved o’er something all night long.

He tendered a check for $17.50 in payment of a lawn mower, sold at $2.50 He said he wanted $lO of the change left for his wife, and the re- . mainder himself. Ho was given $5. Mrs. Halthouse did not call at the store Saturday night for the money. Whoh she had not come for it late in the afternoon, the money was sent io her home. She would not take it.

Inquiry showed that on Monday ’ Halthouse induced R. J. Urbino, a groceryman on Calhoun street, near 1 Creighton avenue, to cash a chock for $21.33. paying a small amount on a grocery bill and receiving the balance in change.
