Entered at the poetoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. It’s on —the three days volunteer drive for the Fourth Liberty Loan. What will be the result? It depends on you, citizens ot Adams county. Lot’s wire the suite committee Monday that we have met the quota, that wo are backing our 700 soldier boys with every dollar and every atom of energy we have. It will help them so much. Let's go. After these big war questions are Be 1 tied and the war industries board has lifted the ban against building, wo are going to build a public auditorium. We needed it yesterday, we need it every week and some times a lot of fimes in a week, we have discovered in this county wo can do trig things and we are not going to stop. It would have been fine to have heard Mr. Beveridge inside yesterday, fine for him and fine for the people. The patriotic celebration in this city yesterday was one of the most successful events ever held here. The day was prfect and the program was splendid. The band concert by the Blue Jacket boys pleased every one, the warpane was interesting, the set vice flag parade the most impressive march ever given hete, the speech by Senator Beveridge was an inspiration. The day was a fitting one upon the eve of the big vounteer campaign which started this morning. Wo believe the county will meet her quota within the three days. You should help do it. ONLY ANOTHER WEEK IN WHICH TO REGISTER AND FIVE HUNDRED CITIZENS WHO ARE NEGLECTING THIS IMPORTANT DUTY. WHAT KIND OF A MAN DOES NOT WANT TO VOTE THIS x.0.j.. ..V.;-.. DvJX • PUT IT OFF ANOTHER DAY. SEE THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED IN THE RIGHT PRECINCT. IT'S YOUR DUTY AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND IT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED IN THIS RUSH OF OTHER MATTERS SO IMPORTANT. REMEMBER ONLY ONE MORE WEEK AND THE OPPORTUNITY IS PAST. Are you a volunteer? Have you walked up like a good citizen and said to those at the Fourth Librty Loan stations, here is my notice, give me twice that many bonds? The person who by Monday has not met the responsibility placed upon him. who has not squared the matter with his conscience, will be an isolated citizen

'and he ought to be. Every home in Adams county should buy bonds, all you can. The very wont you can inconvenience yourself is but temporary for those who buy these bonds now are tut putting away money for the rainy day at per cent. You 1 ack the boys at the front, you answer your country’s call, you save money and thus help yourself. Why say this is no sacrifice is it? The hardest task we ever had is to go over our list and mark off the names of subscribers who have failed to meet tho requirement fixed by the war board that every subscription must be paid in advance. Some ot these subscribers have taken the paper for many years and we are sure do not want it stopi>ed now but we know of no way by which we can continue the paper to them unless they meet the government demand and pay in advance. We are arranging to meet the order and if you want tho paper you should see that it is paid for. We didn't make the rule, we can't change it at tills time, we have always been lenient and we are not now doing any thing but what is i required of us. We ask your sincere 1 eo-operation during this crisis. Renew your paper at once if the time is > out. Please remember that after ( October first too. the price of the Daily Dmocrat by mail will be threo ] dcllars per year. 1 Senator Beveridge was at his best i yesterday and the people of this com- ( s munity heard one of the greate >t I I speeches ever made in this part of ! the state. The senator was eloquent, i his word selection was wonderful ' his patriotism of the "made in Amer- . lea" brand, his arguments deep and sound, his appeal most persuasive, his historical facts interesting and i i his gestures convincing. The dis- . tinguished visitor looked fine and his deep earnestness impressed every one. For an hour and a half, a great crowd stood in the court yard and listened and many would have gladly stood much longer. “This is the critical hour of the war,” said the senator. "The over-subscription ot the Fourth Liberty Loan Jmeans more ' than all the other loans before it. If we can send to our boys in front the message we have m<~re than met the demand, it wilt cheer them beyond measure. If we can do this it will be tn. most u«®uraiizing that ‘ can be sent to tottering Germanv. We must put it over, we must do i’ in away that shows we mean it, to fail now is to endanger our chancts to win the War just when it seenis to me that victory is not for away." It was a great speech.

ATE IVY POISON Three Year Old Child ol Frank Baker of West of the City DIED THIS MORNING Became 111 on Wednesday Noon —Ate What He Thought Wild Grapes. After eating small black berries, which he thought were wild grapes. Wednesday morning, Kenneth, aged three, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baker, residing on the farm of his father, Phil Baker, west of this city, became ill and this morning about 10:30 o'clock passed away. The child became very’ ill Wednesday noon and continued vomiting and displaying other symptoms of severe illness, and a doctor was called. It was not until some time afterward, however, when the child remarked that "My, those wild grapes were good," that the family began to think the berries might have had something to do with the illness. Knowing that a child would not think sour wild grapes were so good that he would eat many of them, and knowing the wild grapes grew far from the house, they investigated and found that the child must have eaten the small black, sweetish berries of the poison ivy vine. Physicians iteld a council and did everything posible to save him, but without avail. At the last symptoms somewhat resembled spinal meningitis. but it is thought these symptoms belong with the nature of the poisoning. The child was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baker, and is a grandchild of Clark Butcher of this city. The other children are Otis, who is older, and Vernon, the youngest child. o — October Call Is Canceilee (Continued from Page One) Class one men sent to the district board were: Walter Roop.
