Voters of Adams county should register next Monday. If you don’t you can’t vote. Every one must register either by affidavit or in person and there is no •< backing up. In other coun- ■ ties this is not necessary, ■ but here you must register i whether you have done so before or not. Don’t overlook it or you lose your vote. Register at six a. ui. Monday morning, then you’ll be sure of it. Your name must be on the registration book in your precinct if you want to vote at the November election. Look after this important duty, the first thing Monday morning. The registration polls will be'open from six a. m. to nine p. m. Monday so there's no excuse for you not having time to visit your precinct and see that your name is put on the book::. You must do this in order to save your vote for the November election. Allhough ordinarily tho protected beneficiaries stand by their political attorneys and standard bearers, there is not a manufacturer in the United States to-day who willing to admit that his prosperity is “Temporary” and a “fool’s paradise." Republicans did a lot of kicking at the S-hour law, but a lot of the House

... .. .. HI —————w - 1 members voted for it just the same; Just as they were compelled to do on * a good share of Wilson’s constructive program. It is interesting to see Re publican Congressmen hustling to sup- * port Democratic bills in order to save 1 their faces with tho American people. The New York “Journal” shows that railway earnings for the fiscal I year are $300,000,000 greater than for 1 last year, and it will cost the com--1 paiiies ’.ess than $50,000,000 to Install I the 8-hour law. Why, then, does it ■ Insist that the passage of the 8-hour law is c. tax upon tjje public? Are not the stockholders able to pay $50,000,000 increase to the men out of a $300,000,000 increase in earnings without boosting rates? For fifty years the Republican party lias been promising and neglecting the farmers of the country. Its leading statesmen have through all these years tied poor Agricola to the chariot wheel of party autonomy and, when the time came for action, passed him the ice pitcher. Under a Democratic administration and with a Democratic Congress it has been very different. The Rural ’Credits Law is upon the nation’s statute books. President Wilson has named the Fann Loan Board and the latter has duly organized. Acording to Secretary McAdoo, the development of the new system will require six months, and actual loans may not be made until next spring. However, the long deferred measure is a law and will long remain so, subject to whatever changes from time to time its successful operation may call for. Its enactment is a distinct achievement of the Democratic party, and the farmers as well as voters in general will give credit where credit is due. sscs s l z zzzzzzz zzzz: ;; | POINGS IN SOCIETY | *; • ~ -- — „«« m WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

; After the long summer vacation the n Shakespeare club ladles enjoyed a social yesterday afternoon and evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Niblick before beginning their thirty- ’’ fourth year of study. Each of the e twenty-four members invited her husj, band or some other friend for the “guest day” party. The ladles ga'hg cred at three o’clock in the afternoon I bringing their sewing and were joined at six o’clock by their husbands r for the dinner. The long tables in i- the diningroom and library were 1 lengthened for the fifty-two covers t and were usually pretty with their seatiet bouquets of salvia, the picnic (• dinner served being a very delicious 3 one also. The program committee al- • so served as members of this enters tainment committee, being Mesdames s IJarry R. Moltz, C. C. Shafer, P. (1. Hooper, J. C. Patterson, D. N. Hensley, John Niblick, Jane Crabbs and Helen Blossom. The club was organr ized in 1882 by Mrs. Niblick’s mother 5 Mrs. D. E. Studebaker, and has been . in continuous session since, although , it does not confine itself wholly to the study of Shakespeare. Mrs. P. G. Hooper is the only one of the char- ’ ter members now an active member. - The first study meeting will be next Wedensday at the home of Mrs. J. S. ! Boyers when Mrs. John Niblick will be leader. They will have the paper on “The Ter-centenary of Shakes1 peare.” As current event talks there ■ will be given the account of some i trip taken, some book read, or some , other event of the vacation just passed. ’ The first study period of the fall for the Historical club was yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John Myers. The hostess also '-lead the study, having a very fine paper on “Pre-historic Art.” The club has now twenty-eight members and the program for the season, which is said to be unusually good, promises a very profitable year’s work. Mrs. Robert McMahan and the Bachelor Maids’ club were entertained by Mrs. Dan Niblick last evening at five hundred, in which jirizes were taken by Miss Adelaide Deininger and Mrs. Ralph Amrine. Fall flowers | were the pretty decorations. The i luncheon followed cards. I ' I Another event for Miss Francos ' Baker, a much feted bride-elect cf this week, was the miscellaneous shower given at the home of the Misses Goldie and Ruth Gay last evening, by. the telephone girls and the Good Times’ club girls. Yellow and white were the colors of the streamer decorations, these being artistically combined with training green vines. Little tables were set for progressive hearts and for the luncheon that followed. First prize at hearts was won 1 by Miss Edna Ruby and the second, by Miss Ruth Gay, the prizes of course being given to the guest of honor, by them. Covers were laid for twenty-seven and yellow and white were manifest in the luncheon which consisted of sandwiches, perfect!in salad, escalloped corn, coffee, cake and marshmallow and fruit salad. To presenting of the gifts took the pretty and sympolical form of a “Well Wishing". An old fashioned well was improvised, with its windlass and its “old oaken bucket" dripping witli the fruits of ‘the shower". Little Miss Helen Butler, secreted in the well, i put into the bucket as it was lower- , ed each time, the gift, and this drawn I to the top. where the bride-elect stood , like a modem Rebekah, was found by. her to be a very substantial gift, I given with heart “well wishing” by ( the donors. 1 Misses Cecil Brown and Chloe Studebaker, of Bluffton, were guests ’ of Miss Pearl Baumgartner over last night. Mrij. F. H. Hubbard and Mrs. C. C. Pumphrey have issued invitations for two big parties for next week at the Hubbard home One is a card party and six o’clock dinner Tuesday; and the other a sewing party for Thursday. The Euterpean club is having its opening picnic supper and social this evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Knapp. Mrs. Jessie Deam and Miss Marie Patterson left today for Kokomo at which place they will join the Burt Townsend family in a motor trip to Indianapolis to attend the state centennial celebration. The Evangelical Ladies’ Aid will hold a pastry sale Saturday morning I at nine o’clock at the gas office. Homemade bread, pumpkin pies and other good things will be for sale. c WEALTHY BREWER SHOT.

The grocer will charge several cents a pound more than the wholesale price. “Honey will be practically unchanged at sixteen cents a section. Maple syrup will be expensive and hard to got. Another delicacy that is going to be hard to get is pure sweet cider. “’Tis said, however, that pop corn will be cheaper and this should be consoling, inasmuch as popcorn fs very necessary at the Christmas season.” x NOTICE.
