HOLTHOUSE, Secretary Subscription Rates Per Week, by carrier 10 cents Per Year, by carrier $5.00 Per Mouth, by mail 25 cents Per Year, by mail $3.00 Single Copies 2 cents Advertising rates made known on application.

Yep it was ninety-five in tlie shady nooks but it may help you some to know that a year ago today it was ninety-eight. You got through that all right and very probably will be able to do so again. if the present offensive of the allies is successful it may be the turing 'f the war. the beginning of the end. It would close one submarine base, slop the air raids on London and set the kaiser back with the severest jolt of the war. If you lost it, try an advertisement in the classified department of the Daily Democrat, and you are losing every day if you do not use this col vimn. It gets results and it costs but a trifle. Don't let another sun go down without making this investment. But remember while you are complaining, that even a palm beach suit is too heavy, that iced drinks are too hot. that these are the hottest days you ever sweltered through, that it is just exactly what the corn crop needed. what the farmers had to have to harvest their wheat and hay. that h is making oats, and it will cool you off considerably.

And their expense an deffort has ju. t started for they must continue to give to the people, if they do as requested, and almost every paper will, a complete list of those rejected, accepted, appeals and other actions taken by th? men and the boards. This announc - ment is not made to create sympathy hut only to call attention to the fact that it is some task, that it is being cheerfully performed as it ought to be. that the American newspapers are a real part of the country and that lhey delight in giving the public all the information they can all the time. An increase of live per cent in the valuations of personal property i i Adams county has been ordered by the state tax board. Similar increases were ordered in ten other counties, the total increase amounting to nearly two million dollars and besides this the corporation values in Marion, Lake Lawrence and St. Joseph were increased about eleven million dollars. A peculiar fact is that the total valuation returned in many of the counties was lower than five years ago, this being true here although it is well known that the market values have doubled and trebled on many of the products. In Wells county this year the total valuations as sent in were SIIB,OOO lower than l ist year on personal prop-

The state board cannot apportion the increase over the various counties by township or by individual and those who did make proffer returns therefor must sutler with those who did not. ——————— / g;:i: tx».tiinx:: txx: :m: :u: ttr.« y H DOINGS IN SOCIETY « ii •txt: txt: ;xn:xx::::: :xx: • WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

A jolly party of young people motored to the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Heidemann, four miles southwest of the city last evening, where they had u merry lawn party.

Honeywell, to establish club rooms for the young people, at a meeting held July 31, 1917, adopted a resolution favoring the converting of said fund to the Rotary club to be used in aiding to finance the swimming pool to be established at the Waterworks park, provided no objection is offered by the individual donors. Any person who subscribed to the “gymn” fund and who

does not desire that the money pari in be used for the swimming pool is hereby notified to call upon Mr. M. Kirsch, at the Peoples Loan & Trust Co., before August lOtTi and the sum of money paid in by any such person will be returned to said person. In case you do not appear on or before the date mentioned the committee will accept as granted the giving of your permission to so convert your interest in said fund.

The danger of dropsy or Bright’s disease is too serious to ignore. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills as have your friends and neighbors. A Decatur case. Mrs. H. L. Hall. South 13 st., Decatur, says: “I had been afflicted with kidney trouble for quite awhile. My back was lame and weal: most of the time and often was very bad. Th ‘a the jche became strong and throbbing and when I bent over, got up or down or turned in bed, a tearing pain went through my kidneys. I had an ache through the back of my head which was something terrible. Doan’s Kidney Pills rid me of the suffering. Since then I have occasionally got a box at Callow & Kohne’s Drug Store and they have served to drive off any slight recurrence of the trouble." Price 6tlc. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy- get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Hall had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props., Buffalo, N.
