ers are advocating a change of the present foreign policy and that a change is dangerous? The most Important duty of every voter Just now is to register and to have his neighbor register. Unless you do you cannot vote In November. Don’t put off this duty, and It is a duty that you owe to yourself, ypur neighbor, your county, your state and your nation. Be sure tv register. Ever) young voter in Adams county is invited and urged to attend the organization meeting of the Young Voters’ club of Adams county, to be held at the Democratic Headquarters in this city tomorrow evening. The young voters can be a force in this campaign and they oug., to be. Come to this meeting and help elect the officers and complete the ;:Ixx.j. All other questions sink into insignificance when one thinks that a change of the present foreign policymay bring war. Would you sacrifice your son to satisfy the whim of some multi-millionaire who has invested in Mexico, and now wan s Mis property protected by the young men of this country? • . . 'a. !!L -- . ■ As Mr. Adair says no one knows what information Mr. Wilson had that caused him to act on the various questions, but we know that what he did resulted in peace. Woud you turn out of power the party that has given you peace and prosperity? We believe that Mr. Wilson will be reflected, by the largest popular vote ever given any candidate for president of the United States. Congressman Adair is the same old campaigner and he will win as easily in the state as he did in the Eighth district for fivfe consecutive cam--1 paigns. He gets to the voters in a way that wins their confidence and he tells the truth. He spoke yesterday to several thousand voters over Adams county and his message made t many votes. He has spoken in 227 : towns and cities in the past six ' weeks and he brings the message that democracy will win in the battle ci j ballots. "What do you want a change of administration for?" is the question asked by John A. M. Adair and it is I one that every voter may well consider. "Do you want peace changed to war? Do you want the price of wheat and corn and oats and hogs changed to what they were four years ago? Do you want the banking law changed so that Wall street will i again control and can create a panic ■ that will bring ruin to you and mil lions of others any time they wish it? What do you want that the demo crats haven't given you? 1 want j some one to tell me.” || DOINGS IN SOCIETY it WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. Euchre Club—Mrs. George Flanders Afternoon Club—Mrs. C.

Connell and daughter. Marie for Mrs. Herman Ehinger a recent bride, was a lovely affair, being a “butterfly luncheon.” The varied colors of butterflies, with their charming poising effects, predominated in the decorations of the rooms and of the tables. Six little tables were set for the luncheon. The table tor tha guest of honor had a, centerpiece of bitter gweet and her chair was designated by a large moline butterfly. Place cards and nankins were decorated prettily with butterflies. After the luncheon a call at the door came for Mrs. Ehlager «

and she was presented a box securely nailed. This was finally opened by her and the contents proved to be a fine coleetion of jellies and jams, cards thereon explaining that each guest had given her best glass of tlia confection to begin the stocking of jelly closet for the new home. Guests 'were the Delta Theta Tau girls with a number of other friends including young matrons. At the five hundred games prizes were won by Mrs. Lawrence Klelnhenz and Miss Matilda Berling.

A “fruitful romance,” a story in which blanks were filled with the names of fruits, was very entertaining. A fine aluminum pan won by Miss Lily Ve:v is for the first prise and the booby by Miss Erlcie Butler were turned over to the bride elect. Clearing the tables after the games, a fine two course luncheon consisting of hot buttered rolls, veal loaf, potato salad, pickles, coffee, ice cream and nabiscoes was provided, pink and white being the colors. Especial mention should be made of the decorations which were charming. The parlors, living rooms and hall of the King home, thrown together, were festooned with st rap (Is of pink and white. Banks of golden rod, red sumac foliage potted plans; and vases fills 1 with the lavely pink and whitecot--Itos; lights hooded with caps of pink and white, all added beauty to the scene. In the diningroom, where the shower was given, yellow and wh>t» prevailed in the decorations. Cand!.*; wero in yellow hooded candelabra, and the chandelier over the cen’er of the dining table, hooded in yellow, was the point from which yellow and white streamers were brought down to the sides of the tables and caught with bitter sweet, forming a dome under which the presents were laid, ’ut glass, aluminum, silver ware, linens, a chair and many other things attested to Miss Baker’s popularity. Miss Miller, of Van Wert, 0., who is Mrs. Ralph Miller’s guest, was among the number present. The Historical club will meet with Mrs. John Myers Wednesday afternoon at 2:30.

EXPOSES G. 0. F. ISSUES fCONTINVED FKOM PAOB OWR 1 dollars in the state treasury, and did not raise the tax levy to do it, but reduced it from nine to seven cents. Thinking voters who appreciate the tig things in administration affairs will think long over this showing bofortl becoming dissatisfied. A government that can pay nearly a two million debt, and save more than two million dollars, reducing the tax levy /rom nine to seven cents in the meantime, is a good government; it’s a good thing to have. Speech at Preble. At Preble, the last leg of the tour of the county. County Chairman Henry B. Heller introduced Mr. Adair. Mr. Ade.ir spoke from the rear of aeccmocile to a crowd of two hun dred voters. Talking to voters in a precinct that two years ago gave him every vote, ninety-nine, Mr. Adair fek right at home. The crowd made him feel at home. They were anxious to show the candidate that they intended to pile up another - hundred per cent vote for him next November.

CHAPLIN'S NEWEST COMEDY A SCREAM. It is well known that Mr. Chaplin is a person of the most extreme sobriety, but “One A. M." leads one to the belief that some time in his life Mr. Chaplin has observed somebody who drank. The writer has it on the authority of a number of persons who ought to know, that Mr. Chaplin can delineate with accuracy that rare and exotic state of mind and anybody known to science as “The Stew,” and variously otherwise termed “a skate,” “spiffed,” “hardboiled.” “pickled,” “ossified,” “orieyed," “comfusticated” or “dazed.” Those familiar with this glorified condition offer every assurance that Mr. Chaplin is historically correct. The writer while naturally conservative, is inclined to accept the opinion of experts. The story of "One A. M.” is excruciatingly funny, but when combined with the art of the comedy star it becomes a continuous laugh. See it at the Rex. ■ -- O rFOR BIBLE STUDY A class for the study of the Bible and for teachers’ training was org.iaized at the M. E. church last evening, with about forty members. O. L. Vance is the teacher; Mel J. Butler, president; and E. B. Lenhart, secretary and treasurer. The class will meet every Monday evening at 7: :th o'clock.
