Riddle of Cleveland, supervisor of the Home Service section who has been here a day or two calls attention to the insurance, mileage rebate and other aids for returned soldiers and the men should get in touch with Mr. Lutz, the lacol chairman. An effort is to be made to secure the name and address of every man who enlisted from this county. Besides this the Red Cross is anxious th’it the old fight against tuberculosis be resumed and that proper preparation for tight- . ing this dreadful disease be made. ; If the government ebntinues to demand complicated income tax reports such as those necessary for corporations this year, there will be an over supply of expert accountants in tins country. The man who makes out one of these reports and the schedules and gets it nearly correct is ready for a job in any federal reserve , bank and is capable of conducting the affairs of business for any international company listed in the mod°nt business directory. If you don’t know its some job, ask any body who lias tried it. Djjn’t let the VftAbty' Ltrirr*Paigin drag. We are two-thirds over. Let’s complete the work. Better that we pay in money than in men. And besides you are not paying. The government has so planned that instead of paying out your money ydtf iku it at a good rate of interest. The bonds are ’non-taxabie and the finest security you can hold., Every man who can should, buy a thousand dollars worth or more. They will make you money and Adams county must have a perfect record. The boys of the Rainbow division are landing in New York today and ths reception given them will leave no doubt in their minds but that the sacrifices trade are duly appreciated by the people of America. The 150th battery have a record that they can well be proud of and z Atlants county is awaiting an opportunity to welcome home the eleven boys who enlistcfi from here.

pj contest as to just which of these two " statesmen shoud tackle the national circuit seems to have ended in an y agreement that both will stay out. But perhaps some one else will volunteer before the convention opens. Victory bonds will grow in value, will pay you good interest, will save you money, will be taken in payment 3 for goods by many merchants and bus- ) mess men, will prove the most valj uable and useful securities you have i ever hold. Buy them now when by so • doing you help the county make a 1 record. You can get then, at par . now. — Think of the sorfow that would have come to this county had the war continued until now. We ought to gladly pay our debts and we will if we stop to think that the money is to be used to pay for the great store of goods and the equipment of the four million men which caused Germany to quit. Buy Victory bonds. if you didn't cover up the tomato plants last night it is quite likely you haven't any left today. The regular spring freeze came and the usual re- , ports of injury to fruit are out today. 1 - ) 1 ta S i I SOCIETY I ■ Club Calendar i 1 Friday. Christian Pastoral Helpers—Mrs. J. E.

The Adams County Woman’s Christian Temperance Union closed a very interesting one-day institute at the Decatur Methodist church, with the i session last evening. Mrs. C. J. Miner conducted the devotionals and the Rev. L. W. Stolte gave a fine address on “The Necessity of the Observance of the Sabbath Day by Precept and Example.” That the observance of the Sabbath is a physical necessity for physical rest, as well as for moral and spiritual uplift, was brought out by him in his talk. Mrs. J. O. Selemeyer sang a solo and this was followed by a talk by Mrs. M. C. Gibson, the state W. C. T. U. organizer who conducted the institute here. Her talk was on “Safeguarding the Nation,” bringing out the point ol the receiving of enforcement of prohi bition and the education of the young. A vocal solo by Mrs. J. Q. Neptune was much appreciated. The afternoon session yesterday was also of great interest. Mrs. Gib son talked on “Cigarettes and Their Moral Effect,” and told, in the course of her address, the effect of tobacco on the heart, illustrating this with charts. A vocal duet by Mesdames Eugent Runyon and C. E. Bell added pleasure to the program, as did the address o! the Rev. W. S. Mills that followed. His subject was “The Need of Moral Edu cation,” and brought out the point that home, church and school should co operate in the education of the child for moral and spiritual as well as phys-cal uplift. He made a plea for the old-fashioned home. Mrs. L. L. Yager, of Berne, whe served as chairman in the absence of the county president, Mrs. Mary Eleyread the eighteenth amendment, and Sirs.

He paid homage to the Bailors, who did nQt have the soft snap that is ag. corded to them, as they proved by their sure service on the torpedoed transport, when they stood nineteen hours in the ice cold water to their hl pa, baling out the partially submerged ship; and proved tn other ways, that they stand just as ready to mc rifice, as those he lead into action on the battlefields.
