I Wouldn’t Give a Snap for a boy that didn’t wear out a lot of shoes. Not*because I sell shoes, but because a boy that wears out a lot of shoes is a “busy izzy” and if you can keep him busy at the right thing, he is going to be “some man” some day. Os course you want to buy him the best shoes it is possible to get, shoes that will let his foot grow the size the Lord intended them to be and then let him “go to it.” Boys good shoes from $2.00 to $3.50 Charlie Voglewede AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

Mrs. C. J. Foglegren went to Fort Wayne to shop tills morning. Robert is the name of the son born Monday night to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cloud of West Monroe street. Jim Coverdale of this city is working at the Rich Hotel at Fort Wayne, where he says he has a good job in the best and most sanitary hotel in that city. He wants the news from home however and orders the Democrat mailed to him. Christy Stogdill today reported his narrow escape from struck by the automobile of ex-county commissioner I<ewis Nutter, as he was on his way home Monday afternoon. He was driving south on Scott street, with a young colt hitched to a buggy, and just as he turned to drive east on Ohio street Mr. Nutter started to pass him on the east side of the rig, Mr. Stogdill's colt escaived by rearing on its hind feet, the automobile passing under it. The machine caus.t and tore off part of the harness, but the animal was not hurt.—Bluffton News. With late corn already nipped by frost, corn cutting and silo tilling are now under way on numerous farms of Adams county at this time. The dry weather condition has made plowing for wheat in many sections almost impossible necessitating the abandonment of this line of farm work for the present. Clover hollers are busy in the county but the yield is small compared with former 'years. The potato situation is worrying many farmers,’ the crop not being up to expectations, especially the late crop, however the price is up the highest in years for this season. Many farmers will not have enough “spuds” to fill their bins for winter use, let alone a surplus crop for sale.

NOVEMBER BRIDE Miss Imo Sowle, Graduate of This Year, Will be Married in November. A QUIET WEDDING To Leroy Silverwood — Will Make Their Home in Toledo, Ohio.

The wedding will take place at the home of the bride's parents and the couple will then leave for Hillsdale, Mich., to visit with the bride's grandmother. From there they will go to Jackson, Mich., and other places of interest before going to Toledo, 0., where ( they will have their home ready hi advance for them. Mr. Silverwood is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ia 1 Roy Silverwood, Sr. of Port Clinton, 0. He is an electrical engineer and an exemplary young man. Miss Sowle is a graduate of the Decatur high school of the class of 1916, and is a young lady of merit, being very highly esteemed and deservedly so. ■ ■ — o— ANGOLA HAS THE SYSTEM. Over at Angola the merchants have become thoroughly worked up over the idea of people sending out of town for articles that are kept on sale at some of the home business places. The oft heard taunt that they do not consistently buy from each other has finally had an effect, and with a result that will be watched with much curiosity by other towns. The merchants have organized and agreed to not send out of town by catalog for any article some other business place may have. They have all agreed to only eat home bread, the bakers agreeing to use only home flour, etc., through the list. As buying of government envelopes is exactly the same as cut price mail order goods,, it is also agreed that all printing, including envelopes. be done at the home offices, no matter if the ready stamped ones are a little more convenient and a few cents cheaper. This is as it should be, for a merchant who wants the home papers to work against mail order buying, and then uses government sweatshop envelopes is a mighty sorry example himself of that which he ask the home paper to preach.—Exchange. o — ADAMS COUNTY INVESTMENTS Dear Friends: We have several farms on hands now that we can trade.

EVANGELIST INVOKES WRATH OF GOD ON DANCERS. An evangelist in Chattanooga prayed as follows: “Oh. Lord, with thou afflict those who dance with rheumatism. that they may dance no longer?” While we do not believe “such prayers ascend to heaven” w r e say “on with the dance ,let joy be unconflned.” If you contract rheuma- ‘ tism it will not be from dancing but

bad blood, which can be corrected by taking Number 40 For The Blood. Successfully employed in rheumatism, catarrh, blood poison, constipation, stomach, kidney and liver diseases. Under its use nodes, tumors, sores, ulcers, copper colored spots, mucous patches and scaly skin diseases appear as if by magic. Made by J. C. Mendenhall, Evansville, Ind., 40 years a druggist.
