J | Attorney J. C. Sutton of the firm of T Heller & Sutton returned this morni ing from Modoc, Randolph county .J and Chillicothe, Ohio, where he atj tended to professional business. At the regular meeting of the t County Council of Defense held this morning in the rooms over this ■ office, which place has been chosen t as headquarters for the council. Mrs. Mary E. Artman reported and 1 gave the facts of the meeting held ? at Indianapolis last Thursday. She stated that the state council of defense urged the continuing of the ’ signing of the food pledge cards, that every woman in the county and state was expected to comply with the conservation movement and of the, J several other plans being worked out . by the st.at.ej council. Chairman ; Dick Myers laid before the members i a number of communications relative to the boys working reserve, , Y. M. C. A. week and other timely I subjects. t j Dr. I. Morgan Farey, of Indiana Unif versity, secretary of the Indiana His- - torical Survey, announces that in- • tensive work will be done this year to - arrange complete sets of all the stale . documents. Miss Charlorte Venn, who - is taking her graduate work in his- ! tory is assisting with the survey. As ; an indication of the growl h of the reports of the state, the report of the , state auditor for 1816 covers three . typewritten pages, while that of Mr. . Crittenberger for 1916 covers 1.86(Y . pages. State reports for the last four or five years have been more difficult to obtain than those before 1810. ■ From 1840 to about 1890 the official , documents, which have been collected from all over the State, show evi- • dence of much reading. Since 1890 they rarely indicate that they have [have opened.

I Mont Fee returned from ludianapolig yesterday. | Mrs. Charles Sturgis of Bluffton was a caller here last evening. J. H. Stewart of this office, is looking after business at Chicago today. , Frank Tolan, of Fort Wayne, was here this afternoon to attend to business. A number of young people attended the basket bull game at Geneva last evening. Miss Marguerite Clark who was operated on for appendicitis is recovering nicely. Charles Morrison, of Blue Creek township, was a visitor here today and called at this office. . Adams county will have to take care of Adams county soldiers who return incurables.

A. meeting here last night. A letter from Lieut. Harry Erwin to his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Erwin will be published Monday. Miss Vera Clark returned from Ft.

While Mr. Arnold talked to the men at the K. of P. home, Mrs. Arnold visited with friends. I You cannot change human nature. You cannot ask a soldier to work 24 hours every day. He must have relaxation. Let us see that he gets decent pleasures. Y. M. C. A. does that. Three hundred boys have gone to the front from Adams county. There will be many more. They have left home grand fellows. Let us help them to come home grander fellows. The Y. M. C. A. understands how. A rumor that some one had been killed or badly hurt at the sugar factory was circulated this morning but was without foundation. One of the workmen had his foot scalded slightly but the accident was in no ways serious. Assignments for speakers in the various churches over the county tomorrow were made today but the list was not completed until 2:20 and we could not print it. There will be a good speaker however, for each church and the five minute talks should be listened to attentively. If you have’nt bought tickets for the Welsch concert company Wednesday night'get them at once as the number is limited. It will be worth hearing. One of the features is the lecture by Risca Williams who had a miraculous escape from the Lusitania after it had been torpedoed in mid ocean.

One of the government inspectors of horses here yesterday, was a former Decatur boy. He was Herbert Merriman. 21, son of the late Wilson Merriman, and now lives at Omaha, Neb. He was here a short time, leaving last night. He is a nephew of Mrs. Morris Hay and of Mrs. James Steele of west of the city. Out of the three hundred horses up for examination yesterday at the Decatur Horse Sale barn the government officials rejected all but one hundred and six. The is urging the greatest of care in selecting the horses as the work in the army demands that they be at their best all the time. The officials made a test of wind, gait, weight, and height before accepting.
