They will be worth considerably more than par now within a very sh, rt time and if you sacrifice a nickle Oil them you are but giving away hard, cold cash. Besides that you are not carrying out the intent for the government wishes each person to carry his share ot the burden which has resulted form participation in the world struggle. Many counties over the stab are having a difficult time to reach thenquota for the United War Work campaign, the people in some communities evidently feeling as though they can quit now that the armistice has been signed. That’s the wrong impression for there is still much iuiprtant work to be done. Europe is starving, the country devastated, the people suffering. It is our duty to aid them and to bring our boys back safe and sound. There will oe more calls for your aid. If you have pledged to take thrift stamps, remember that they must be taken up before the 31st of December. Upon your pledge the government lias depended and it is mighty important that you make good. Unless you do there will be a deficit and all the inconveniences that go therewith. Your honor has been staked and you should make good. Adams county ( has promised her full quota but unless those who signed the cards see i that the stamps are taken up, we will 1 be short. Help make the record com- 1 « plete. ■ 1 Indications are that the coming ( year will be the busiest ever known 1 in this country. There are no signs of hard times to follow the war. Many , improvements held back because of ■ the fact that the United States has i devoted itself entirely to winning the war, will now he made. Along with this boom will come many serious problems, not the least of which will be the labor question. It behooves every one to remain sane and reasonable and to realize that co-operation means much to the community and every one in it. If we all work together we will prosper tihe greater. We call attention of oitx people to the fact that the influenza epidemic continues a serious problem. In surrounding counties there are many cases and right here at home, we are j informed there are a number of peo-! pie suffering from tbo disease. The rules for protection against it have been published several times and you are warned again how important UNDERWEAR These snappy mornings demand heavier underwear. We have a good assortment in both separate garments and union suits. > Separate garments $2 to $lO Union Suits $2.00 to $7.50 ITHE MYERS-DAILEY COMFAMY

it is that they be observed. Watch the children, watch yourself. Guard against the discaso and if you have a cold remain at home. Better lose a day or two now than weeks and months or perhaps your life became of carelessness. The two big measures to be considered by the coming top heavy republican legislature of Indiana, will be a road bill and a tax law. It Is probable that the highway commission j will be given full power and that road I matters will be settled from an Indianapolis office with Purdue graduates as engineers, ail expensive and we predict very unsatisfactory plan for those who need roads. The excise tax law, imposing a heavy additional penalty on business seems likely. But why complain? The people voted for it and knew what Governor Goodrich's hobbies were. The fact that the state was turned over to the republicans by so decisive a vote is indicative that the people wish these modern methods, even if it is an expensive operation.

Nov. 11. i Washington, Nov. 16 —(Special to 1 Daily Democrat) —Reports that an > American mission was going to Spa Saturday led to the belief here that this was probably the United States representation on the mixed armistice ' commission which is to supervise the .- fulfillment of the armistice terms. 1 Paris, Nov. 15— (Speciul to Daily - Democrat) —Four hundred and twenl ty thousand French war prisoners. Int eluding those interned in neutral countries, will be repatriated, it was officially announced today. , New York, Nov. 15—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Four hundred offl--1 cers and men who have been lighting : in France were landed here today 1 from the auxiliary cruiser Harrisburg which arrived in port late last night. Many of the veterans were suffering from wounds and shell shock. A reception was held by the officers aboard the cruiser at which Major General Buck and Major General Barry, who have been awarded the distinguished service cross for bravery, were the guests of honor. Rome, Nov. 14—(Delayed)—A committee has been formed under Mayor Colonnato to give President Wilson an Italian citizenship by plebiscite throughout the country. Washington, Nov. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—While the peace conference will be delayed beyond another month, according to the best information today, this government and the allies are working on details both at the home capitals and through the supreme war council at Versailles Probably within the next ten days, the advance guard of the American delegation will go over to arrange wire and cable facilities for handling the news of the great session. The United States for some months has been congregating its suggestions through Col. House and his aides. A careful study has been made with respect to peace adjustments needed it; the near east where new nations have risen out of long oppression. Safeguarding of these groups will be one) of the chief problems to be considered. The state department is maintaining a can'. ilence on the subject of 'he conference. It has done nothing yet with respect to the German wireless appeal for an early conference and the disposition appears to be not to hasten matters until Germany appears more stabilized than at present However, it seems likely from press dispatches that constitutional changes are in effect in Germany now and that steps are under way for forming a stable government. The main question is as to whether any particular government will stand at this time with unrest and revolution still underlying the whole Teuton situation. More than 25 nations have a right to places at the peace table as belligerents against Germany. These countries will not have equal voice in the session, even though technically entitled to it Instead, France. Britain and the United States and Italy will have the main power. Belgium's claims will be carefully followed as will the claims of the Balkan nations. Paris, Nov. 15 —(Special to Daily Demjocrat)—-'The Stars and Stripes, official organ of the American expeditionary force, announced that Nov. 24 will be "father’s Christmas victory letter day” for the army. All soldiers are asked to write to their fathers on that day, and the fathers are urged to write to their sons. London. Nov. 15 —(British admiralty wireless) —The war correspondent of the Morning Post says the joy >f

i Paris. Nov. 15—(Special to Daily Democrat) — Three deputies today J served notice they will move that the , allied governments open legal proceedings against those responsible for ihc war, through establishment of a tribunal composed of representaItives of all the countries which have suffered from machinations of these men. j They declared in a memorandum that even if Holla'nd should refuse extradition, "the fact that (he kaiser, the crown prince and their advisers had teen condemned by such a tri- , bunal would place them in such a pok; tion that their only refuge would be death.” Madrid.

Officials of the courso . recently have feared to traverso Unter den Linden, in automobiles with the gate receipts, through dangi er of being robbed. A Frankfort dispatch says the grand duke of Saxo-Weimar has announced his willingness to abdicate providing the safety of himself and his family is guaranteed. Washington. D. C., Nov. 15—(Special to Daily Democrat)—America will be paying war taxes until 1925. Treasury plans as outlined today show that the heavy burden of taxation must continue for at least six years more. The end of actual fighting has cut the 1918 cost by six billion dollars, Secretary McAdoo announced but immediate war expenses will continue to come. It is for these that the nation will have to provide funds, according to officials. Facing the treasury for the present fiscal year were expenditures of $18,000,000,000; for the fiscal year ending June. 1920, $5,000,000,000, and for the next four years the governmental expenses will range around $3,500,000,000. After January 1, 1925, expenditures should settle down to approximately $2,000,000,000 a year, officials estimated. This figure, however, will depend somewhat on amoritization plans developed to. pay off the great bond issues which mature after 1930. During the next year, the government will be liquidating contractual obligations incident to the war. In addition, it must meet the expenses of interest on loans and expanded government. After that time the gov ernment's expenses will consist of the bond interest payment, a steadily increased expense resulting from war risk insurance payments and many governmental activities caused by the reconstruction program. ASK FOR CONTINUANCE (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Nov. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat)--The city of Fort Wayne today aske dthe public service commission for a continuance ot the hearing of the petition of the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Co., for an increased rate until the commission apointed to inveetiga:e the gas condition in the state makes its report. The hearing was set for Nov. 23. The increased charge was asked in Bluffton, Decatur. Ossian and Fort Wayne.

HOG~PRICE3 STEADY” (United Press Service) Washington, Nov. 15—(Special to Daily Democrat^ — (The) Novciuimr price basis tor hogs will continue through December, the food adniinlsItration announced today. J The food administration has asked

producers to withhold lighter weight hogs from the market for the next thirty days, pointing out that if is done (he possibility of breaking j down present price levels by excessive receipts will be avoided. All available hog products that can be spared will be needed for foreign shipment in December and January and thereafter, it is suited. THE NERVE THAT COUNTS (United Press Service) An American Hospital in France, Oct. 8—(By Maii) —The worse they are hurt the better their spirit, the doctors say. Doughboy philosophy is great. Three of them were discussing their missing legs. Said one, “I didn't need that left leg, anyway. I'm a lawyer, and what good's two legs In a law office. If 1 lost any, I wanted it to be the left one. I got my wish.” Said a second. “Well, my right's gone, but if I had it I'd just have to wash it all my life, so I'm saved a 'ot of work.” The third got enthusiastic, "Say, I’ve got it all ovr you. I lost both legs.” Another doughboy came out of ether just as they were finishing his operation. “Say. doctor, can I smoke?” he asked. The doctor gave him a cigaret, and the doughboy smoked calmly on the operating table as they bandaged him. He now claims he put one over on the doctors by smoking while they operated on him.
