It is certainly gratifying news tiial the lied Cross will see that every Adams county man at Camp Shelby will receive a sweater. It makes it .<« much easier to work when we know that the goods are to be used by the boys from home and it will make,our soldiers feel better to know that the folks back home did it. Russia declares they are out of the war but they are probably not out of trouble at home. If we are to judge from past records they are just entering into the very worst era of their long and checkered history, and it is doubtful if they can be of any great assistance to either the allies or the central powers for some time to come. Mr. Paul Poynter, the Sullivan editor w hose articles on the coal situation have attracted much attention has been drafted into the state fuel -.d ministration by Evans Woollen. Mr Iwas asked to join the and devote his itLt ntion to the wagon mine counties to the end that the maximum use cf these mines might be had. It is Mr. Poynter’s idea that the wagon mine can be used to take care of the county needs in those counties where they are located and their surplus production shiped by special arrangement, to nearby localities. According to newspaper dispatches John A. M. Adair of Portland, has announced that he will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress and right on top of this comes the announcement of Judge W. H. Eiclihorn of Bluffton for the same honor. They are two splendid men and the people of the eighth district may feel that with either to represent them in the halls of congress they will have that representation that they will be proud of. Mr. Adair served ten years in that branch and has a splendid record. Judge Eichhorn is recognized as one of the best judges in the state, brainy, vigorous and capable. We believe that either men can be elected and the outcome of their contest for the nomination will be interesting. Poor Loser Andrews is angry now because his successful opponent, Mr. Yager, has not rushed to him for advice concerning the appointments to be made by the mayor elect and is declaring that campaign promises will cause the “decapitulation” of 1 number of those now in office.

have been unable to find any detlri-ji tlou for the word but we presume it | 1 means some thing. For the Informu- | 'tlon of p. L. we don't mind saying | j that we have it direct from Mr, Yager ; that he has made no promisee either , before or since the election but that . he will make an effort to select men for the few appointive places who w’ll < handle the duties of these offices in a 1 manner entirely satisfactory to the 1 (public. The appointments will probably be announced within a few days. . I SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. i Friday. W. R. C.
