The paper is read each day by more than 16,000 people. Think of the opportunity. Be a live one. It will pay you big. The Old Home Week idea is poi tiler anti if it is assured that the boys will all lie home by next autumn th "re is no reason why we can't have one that is a credit to the community. This need not interfere, with the proper reception of the boys when they come home, and it will not. The people of this community could do no better work than that of completing an organization which would watch the interests of Adams couu.y and fight for them. There is no reason except that we don't try bird enough, why we shouldn't land several good industries the coming year Even though a concerted effort is being made by politicians and part - an press to discredit President V ilson. it s a safe prediction that he will h«dd his own against the enri’e “gang"*and will come out of it a’l with a much better record than that of any of the little tadpoles who are trying to tear hint down even at the risk of injuring this republic. As tae Indianapolis Star says, "he is too smart for them.’' The year 1919 approaches it is to lie a peace year after a long period of war. Every person should enter into the reconstruction work and should do what they can in taking care of the returning soldiers, furnishing them better jobs than they left and at the same time looking after the interests of those who kept the "home tires burning." It's a big job and one that we should all be thinking about. You have just three weeks in which to take up War Saving Stamps tor the year 1918. If you have promised the government expects you to keep your pledge. if you haven't, take all you can anyway. They ijre the finest investments on the market, they pay good interest and you can get your money back if you need it at any time on ten days' notice. Add

I on a few more than you pledged for. ( It will help put the county over. 1 -JIU'U'-'.JI 1 'JIS*!"”!! Governor Goodrich is evidently going to be the czar id' the legislature. He is preparing the bills he desires passed and is selecting tile men whom he wishes to give the honor for putting them over. Among other things I reposed is to take the money raised by auto taxes and instead of using it lor repair of roads as has been the law, will turn it into the state road I t reasury. Thus the money raised here will l>e used to improve the roads of Marlon county. Fine dope for Adams county people, it seems. The lied Cross campaign for renewal of membership and payment of dues, begins next Monday and continues one week. During that week every adult in Adams county is expected to pay the sum of one dollar ■ or more as his membership fee for the • coining year. There are those who • ask what can be needed of money now that the war is over. Surc'y these do not stop to think that we have two ’ million men overseas, that many if • them will be there for six months and - perhaps lunger, that we have two ! ‘ million men in camps in this country, that many of them are recovering h from wounds while other thousands >' have influenza and other serious illness. The Red Cross looks after these men and to do so properly rcd quires a large, sum of money. Voir 1 dollar is badly needed, you need not li doubt and not a single dollar of il ' will be wasted. Pay it cheerfully and help make the campaign in Adams county a success. § SOCIETY | Club Calendar Monday. Y. P. A. Election Mrs. Fred Dina. Research Club- Red Cross Shop. T uesday.

The ; date for opening the inter-allied preliminary conferences, however, will not be set until after President Wilson arrives. Paris is becoming more congested every hour. All hotels are tilled to capacity and cots have been put up in bath rooms, corridors and store rooms. Prices of everything are skyrocketing. The aspect of the entire city has changed within a fortnight frem war to peace. Stores are displaying big electric signs for the first time in four years. Shop windows are showing more civilian and less military apparel. New theaters are o;iening throughout, the city. The reviving taxicabs are at a premium, and the subway is constantly crowded. The authorities are trying to untangle the worst cable congestion of record It is likely that some building will be rented and cots put in to serve as sleeping quarters for hundreds < f correspondents. Copenhagen. Dee. 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Ten thousand members of the republican guard were ordered under arms in Berlin last night to quell rioting there, according to dispatches received from that city today. The best bolshevik! organizers from Russia are arriving in Berlin to lead the spartacus group. Among them is said to be “Lewine.” It is not known whether this is a misspelling of Premier Lenine's name. With the Americans in Prussia. Doc. 8- (Special to Daily Democrat) —American troops are in Coblenz. A small detachment at the request erf the German authorities went ahead of the main body of the third army for immediate occupation of the important Rhine city. It traveled in a special train and was due to arrive in Coblenz at noon. Premature occupation of the center of the American bridgehead resulted from a written request by the burgomaster and military commander who asked that the Americans enter Coblenz immediately after departure of the German troops. No disorder was reported in that city, but the German officials declared that owing to unsettled conditions they wished to take no chances and wished the Americans to arrive oh the heels of German i-ol-diers who began evacuating yester- . day afternoon. The department dispatches to Coblentz was the second battalion of the thirty-ninth infantry, fourth division, comprising about a thousand men. Arrival of the Americans at the . Rhine is thus four days ahead of . schedule. The remainder of the third army will come up as planned. The second battalion will declare martial law in Coblenz and guard public utilities. • (By Robert J. Bender. United Press “ Staff Correspondent) i Aboard the U. S. S. George Wash- • iuglon. Dec.
