Entered at the postofflee in Deca- , tur. Indiana, as second-class matter. , Will Hays- chesty little gentleman 1 from Indiana, is now trying to tell ; the president of the United States 1 where he is not performing just to ' his liking It is safe to predict that he will have the wind taken out of him before he gets far with his present program. Adams county will meet her Fourth Liberty quota. XX’e have not fallen down on any effort when we really got behind it and we must not, dare not. will not fall down thi« time. The boys are fighting like heroes, over there, not stopping for oad weather or because of facing machine guns, artiHery or anything else. We must keep on fighting over here and we will, until 4lite'war is history and the right has prevailed. * ——-— The Fort Vfaynp News got out a Red Cross extra fast .night, with great headlines anouncing t'je death of the kaiser. It was supposed to'be for the Red Cross in connection with the auction sale now on but it is doubtful 11 even for such a meritorious cause a new spatter can afford to deliberately print misstatements of this kind and It is also probable that at this time when efforts to save print paper are being made, some oth'jr plan of securing funds would he belter. The publicity campaign of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign starts tomorrow and for two weens the big barrage will be laid down, proceeding the three day volunteer campaign. There will lie many means used to get »the word to every man. woman and child and you are invited to join the publicity committee right now. Be a booster, spread the news, help make every meeting a success and help make the three day volunteer effort a great winner. Let’s telegraph Will Wade Sunday night that Adams county went over the top The State Council of Defense has adopted a resolution urging the state board of education *o arrange contracts with teachers so that nine months work may be done in seven in Indiana high schools, so that boys of a productive age may be released for industrial and agrlculturral work. The resolution does not contemplate any reduction in the “present meagre pay” of school teachers but asks that they be paid for the entire term though allowed only seven months in which to give lhe intensive training. In other words they are expected to work harder lor the seven months and get the same pay. The leaders of the rival organiza-

tions have delivered their "keynotes” and for the most part those will meet with lhe indoi-enient of their folio vers Possibly Chairman Wasmuth would have done better if he had not tried to show that the United States hud been profligate in the expenditure of money to mobilize its forces. There is little ground for comparison of the expenditure by the Unit'd States with that of Great Britain. France or Italy since the standards are so vastly different. The United States would be sure to do things on a larger and more expensive scale regardless of the party in power at Washington. What the people, desire is the winning of the war ns quickly as possible and on that the two parties are happily agr !.
