Let's forget it and get down to business qji&Juy. We can't afford to lose any time, no | difference what the results. The meetings held in this city last night were wonderful and the addresses were most interesting. The people who heard these talented men may consider themselves fortunate. They worn not O„Jv interesting but as well and hundreds of people here have a better idea of the great questions now uppermost. x It’s all over and the shortest cam- ; paign in the history of the country, in Indiana, a speechless one or prac- < tically so, has been concluded. Elec- j tion day was a perfect one and the j Vote should be large. And now for the War Workers campaign.

i down on the 11th. That’s the slogan and it’s a good one. The most wonderful organization ever perfected here with more than 90(1 men and women and 150 children is now going at full speed. With your assistance, it will be the greatest success ever recorded in old Adams. Ate you being careful about the inllucuza. It is a dangerous disease, contagious and unusually fatal. So far this community has been very fortunate indeed but in many counties, some of them not for away, there have been many cases and numerous deaths. Now that the l>an has been lifted it is the more important that you be careful. If the children have colds or seem ill. keep them at home. If the children come to school ill, they should be sent home. If you a'tend meetings be careful of the air in the room. Wear your wraps and see that the windows are open. Remember the best treatment in the world is plenty of afr. q ’- tttKn: ttntnnir. tnum | SOCIETY t Club Calendar

' - o— —— Voters Are Deciding It (Continued from Page One) the results of some of those contests may hang control of congress. Democratic headquarters here was optimistic early today. The president’s appeal to the voters, followed by the Austrian surrender make it certain, democratic campaign worker said, that the reconstruction congress will be democratic. Republicans were jubilant at the alleged result of their state forecasts. They claim the house by a big margin and are confident of winning t.he senate by a close margin. The first returns are expected this afternoon from Kansas where a spirited contest is on between Senator Thompson, democrat and Governor Capper, republican. Republicans say Capper will win by 100,000 votes. President Wilson had planned to go to Princeton to vote as usual, but the rapid turn of international affairs forced him to remain at his desk 1 here and for the first time since he came to the white house he missed an important vote at home. Democratic national headquarters here and the republican congressional and senatorial committees have arranged for returns from all over the country and will keep an all-night watch on the results of the day's vote.

The spacious buildings and grounds are being artistically decorated, emblems of the allied nations now battling on European soil draping both interiors and exteriors. Since the inaugeration of the ex-

Itosition. it has been the policy of the management to spare no expense to insure perfection in every detail. Owing to increased cost of material and labor, these details might have been neglected this year, but the directors decided that it would be doubt ful economy and the high standard of , previous years will be maintained if not excelled. When the gates of the exposition are opened on Nov. 30th for the great live stock roundup of the season, the public will realize that regardless of obstacles and abnormal conditions nothing essential to the success of the success of the exposition has been overlooked. _ BARGER-LEPLEY ELOPEMENT According to a Bluffton item Mtss Norma Lepley, aged about sixteen years, a daughter of Mrs. Grace Lopley, of Tocsin, and Herman Barger, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Barger, of Peterson eloped yesterday to Hillsdale, Mich., leaving Decatur on a three o'clock train yesterday morliitig i They told her mother of the plans but. his parents did not ' learn of the [elopement until the couple were well on their way.
