A. campaign is over why not begin the one to build a local auditorium that can be used for various purposes to the great advantage of the people of this community. There are several different ways it might be done, aud the main thing is that we get busy and organize for that purpose. You will be surprised at the support given such a movement if it is once started. The republican press in reviewing the results of the recent city elections over Indiana are cackling in loud glee that the democratic party is licked to a "frazzle” and can't come back. Well it's only two or three years since the democrats were predicting a similar future for the g. o. p. and they seem to have survived after all, which leads us to the opinion that you never can tell about an election until after the votes are counted. As we enter the winter montns every citizen of this county should appoint himself a committee of one to see that the roads are kept in as good condition as possible, that heavy loads do not cut them to pieces, that every care possible is given them. The investment in our macadam roads is more than a million dollars and v;e ought to be good enough business people to protect that great investment. Don’t leave it all to one or two officials. Do your bit and it will help ’he official do his. Adams county was asked for five thousand dollars for the Y. M. C. A. and gave seven thousand or nearly that. It's a record that generations to come may point to with pride ."or every precinct in the county, big er little, met their quota and most of them far exceeded it. Religion and politics were laid aside and we m< t our duty as men and women firm in the belief of a common cause. It is a wonderful victory for the cause of humanity and we congratulate Mr. Lutz and his corps of able and efficient lieutenants. You did an excellent job and we are all proud of you and the record thus established for old Adairs county—always first. The government will inaugurate a sale of "War Thrift Stamps” on December 3rd. with the hope of thus raising two billion dollars to be used for war purposes. There are millions who were not able to buy a Liberty Bond who may thus aid their govern-

ment aud at the same time save money. The stamps sell for a quarter each and when you have four dinars worth you add fourteen cents and secure a certificate which in five years is worth a five dollar bill, equal to four per cent interest compounded. When you have filled one card, start another and so on aud the first thing you know you will have government paper equal to the fello wwho bought his Liberty Bonds outright. These certificates are as good as gold bonds and are backed by every dollar of wealth in the United States. The farmer who is holding his potatoes expecting a big price in the spring may lose out. Experts predict it and the fact that even now the big potato farmars o." t' northwest are unloading at a price far below that being asked in the middle wc t is the best proof. The prices are fixed by supply and demand just the same now as when they were normal and the fact that millions of bushels of potatoes more than the demand have been raised should be a sufficient rear-on for every sensible farmer to sell, us course if every body held, the price would stay up but potatoes cannot be carried over as wheat aud grains often are. Potatoes are perishable and when they are finally dumped on the market, there is likely to be such a scramble that the prices will fall to a very low figure. If the potatoes ire marketed now they can be used in place of meat and wheat and the gov ernment will thus be better served. Think it over. An Indianapolis paper carried a story Sunday that John A. M. Adair, of Portland would probably be a candidate for congress tnough Rollin T. Bunch, mayor of Muncie and several others were being mentioned. The announcement seems to have excited the Decatur Evening Herald which without any discussion of reasons announces that Mr. Adair while he may get the nomination could not possibly be elected. It occurs to us that it is just a little early to predict an out come of an election for which neither the candidates nor the issues have been selected. Mr. Adair served five terms in congress and with the best record of any man who ever represented this district by long odds. He took an active part in aft airs and was recognized as one of the men who could do things in that great body. At present we are represented by a man who has never been mentioned and a majority of the people of the district would have to dig up an old sample ballot to tell you his name. We have no idea whether or not Mr. Adair is to be a candidate but if he is, the people of the eighth district will know it in due time and his opponent may know it when the votes are counted on election day.

Brave little butterflies of hope and longing. And laughed to see them flying swift and free. But they were driven back before a stormwind That hid the sun and lashed the pallid sea; In the wild dawn upon the shore I found them. Bright, broken wings that by no more for me. —Wanda Petrunkevitch, in New York Times.
