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 n<. I backing up. In other counties this is not necessary, but here you must register whether you have done so before or not. Don’t overlook it or you lose your vote. , If you don’t resister Monday'you can't vote in Adams county. President Wilson’s reception at Omaha was the most wonderful ever given to any man in the west. Ljis vote will be just as Inga surprise to the republicans wiien it is counted November 7th Register Monday. It’s the most important duty of the campaign. ■ You cannot vote unless you do. The fact that you registered before does not affect the question in this county, j Register if you want to vote. July building permits compiled by l Bradstreet’s show 63.5 per cent increase; which puts two more questions up. to Mr. Hughes—first, are these buildings ‘blood-soaked” and “duo to war," and second, in what way is permanent building improve-, ment an evidence of “temporary" prosperity? All that disconcerted republican newspapers and party leaders can 1 say is, "Just wait, and you’ll find out • in good time what his issues will lie ■ and what he would have done.” The wait from July 31 to the present time has not given the country much enlightenment on the subject. The United States has become a creditor nation under democratic ;mI ministration up to date to the amount l of $1,600,000,000, and is taking on a hundred million or so more each I month. The republican administration left the country a debtor nation 1 to the tune of $6,000,000,000. Roosevelt favors me seizing of all German ships interned here, confis-! eating them to be held as payment

'[for damages to claimants, and Hughes agrees with Roosovclt. How ' cun any one, who claims to be fair, support such a combination? Roose velt goes further and insists on a firmer foreign policy with Germany and Mexico. A few more froosevelt speeches will convert what few Hughes men there are In the country. Opinion in the middlewest is reflected by the following from the Chicago "Herald,” independent: "Mr Hughes has made a number of pc, lies out west, and it is generally admitted that there is at present qp glow in Hie western skies indicative of anybody setting the woods and prairies afire. It may be that this mass of criticism, these numerous counts In the indictment which he ha: evidently prepa ith law-like are making an impression. But the detached ai ' tn; ir: I ob- : server Is forced to the conclusion that the evidences pf results are at presI ent not particularly plain.” i Disapproval of Mr. Hughes' "faultfinding campaign” is commonly ex ‘ pressed in both republican and inde pendent papers. Notable among these is the opinion of William Allen i White in the Emporia "Gazette” and widely quoted throughout the*west, the gist of which is that the mere asailing of the president is likely to bear poor fruit. i ;s= = =s=s!;i--z.=s=s«:=w»« !i o DOINGS IN SOCIETY | »• »• »• WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

BEEFY HAMMOND TEAM TO PLAY FORT WAYNE FRIARS ON SUNDAY The crushing defeat that the powerful Friar eleven al Fori Wayne handed the Dayton team last Sunday will not be duplicated this coming Sabbath when the Summit City Aggregation clashes with the famous Hammond, Indiana team, a band of pigskin chasers headed by Blocker, the great Purdue tackle and the choice of Walter Eekersall for a like position on the Ail-Western Team. The strength of the Hammonders can be readily ascertained when it is known that their line averages 185 pounds, while their backfield tips the beam at 179. >?( inchfield and Finn, two .other Purdue men, and Galvin, former half back at Wisconsin are a trio of claesy performers who promise to throw a figurative monkey wrench into the Friar machinery. Both teams have started off the season in auspicious fashion, the Friars walloping the Dayton outfit to the tune of 101 to 0, while Hammond administered a bitter pill to a Rockford, Illionis eleven by defeating them 73 to 0. Over four thousand people witnessed the* carnage at Fort Wayue, and everyone went wild over the form shown by the Friars. Dorias, the former All-American quarter, and the big noise in the Friar line-up, performed in brilliant style. Edwards, Feeney. Peters, Young, Johnson and Chambers were others who ran wild through the Bewildered Dayton team. A delegation of Hammond fans have chartered a special train to Fort Wayne for the game Sunday.

She was terribly constipated. Annoyance caused by tlie derangement of her kidneys kept her awake at night. "She can eat anything she desires since taking Tanlac. The kidney trouble has been relieved, pains in her back having vanished. The pains in her chest and stomach also are gone. Her sleep is not disturbed now.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss of appetite and the like and is aVfine Itiood purifier and general ton ie.
