Entered at the postoffice In Docatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Miss Ida Spaeth, field secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis society is in Adams county on a most important mission. She is explaining the need for a sanitarium which will properly take care of and cure tubercular patients. The plan is to build a hospital that can be used by the people of four counties, each paying a proportionate share for building and maintainence. That we pay too little attention to fighting this disease, that we neglect providing a proper place for this until the fact is called to our attention when some loved one is stricken, that the patients can be cured here better than any where else if proper arrangements are made, are facts that are no longer disputed. Every legislature provides further means for caring for live stock, we are taxed for causes much less humane, we can furnish our share of the cost of building such an institution for the cost of a half-mile of improved roads. Shall we then dilly daily while hundreds suffer and die from tuberculosis? The work being started by Miss Spaeth is indeed important, worthy the time and effort of every citizen, deserving of that careful consideration which will bring success. The man who quits boosting his heme town because every thing does not just suit him or because his suggestions are not followed is not the man who helps most. It's the steady, always ready to help fellow who takes off his coat and works for every thing he believes will make his community better, who is of greatest service. No one gets his own way all the time. The biggest things are always the result of compromise. Come on boy’s, forget ycur personal greivances and help make the old home town the best in the world. Congress has reduced the appropriation for aviation developement to $15,800,000 though Secretary Daniel’? asked for three times that amount.

Ferguson, United Press , staff correspondent) Paris, June 18 —(Special to Dail) Democrat)—Second only to the ques-j tion as to whether the Germans will sign the peace treaty in the minds of French people today, was the subject of bringing Wilhelm Hohcnzollern to ‘ trial. Even should the former kaiser evade the ordeal of facing an international tribunal, the Germans —is they accept the revised terms —must formally acknowledge his liability to , answer for the high crime against civilization. Renewal of the likelihood of actual’ prosecution of Wilhelm was indicat- ] ed by the statement in the allies reply to the German counter-proposals that they are prepared to submit a; final list of “these who must be handed over to justice within one month after the signing of peace.” While it it learned from authoritative sources < that the Americans so far have not { submitted the names of any persons responsible for violations of the laws, or practices of war the European al- J lies are understood to have long lists; in the making. Paris, June 18 —(Special to Daily 1 Democrat) I‘iesldeul arid Mrs. Wilson left for Brussels at 10:30 last night. ’ Weimar, June 17—(Special to Daily . Democrat) —Germany fears the con- , sequences of rejecting the revised peace treaty. This attitude was ap- ‘ parent in government circles here today. I 1 Opp-osition to the pact has not aba;-, ed one whit, following receipt of offi-1 cial summarization of the revised , terms from Versailles by telephone’ and telegraph. But the prospect of I allied invacion, an economic blockade, bolshevism and food shortage ' wa# obviously the dominating influence here. CHURCFI ISIIIVE To Great Problems as Well' as to the Living Conditions of Workers. THIS WAS PROVEN By Forward Looking Movements Taken by Presbytery in Recent Session. The charge is sometimes made that the church is not alive to its task; that it has no word to say about the great problems before the world i today; and especially that it has no interest in the world’s workers, j Nothing could be further from the j truth, as was exemplified at the reI cent meeting of the Presbyterian ( generaly assembly held at St. Louis. ’The question of the industrial unrest occupied a foremost place and emphasis was made upon the duty of the church to mediate between-cap-ital and labor. The rights of labor and the social obligations of Christianity were strongly insisted upon. One of the most rousing and interest(ing speeches was that made by the ■ Rev. T. H. Simpson of the state of .Washington. A large logging com- • pany persuaded him to leave his pas- ' torate to work among their lumber- ’ men. The men at first would have ■ j nothing to do with him, until he w’as I 'abie to bring about material improve-! ment in their living and working con-| ditions. With this good start he soon ' persuaded the men to appoint delegates to meet the “Boss” for confer-; ence. After the consultation the "Boss” said that he was surprised at moderation of their demands. While the intelligence of the men and the i the men said: “We are surprised to find the Boss such a fine fellow; be wants to do what’s right.” Mr. Simpson thought that this is the kind of work the church should be doing everywhere, and earnestly urged “It r is the only way to quell the develish 1 spirit of agitation, that is abroad just ’■ now." e The story was told of another Presr - byterian “industrial chaplain” who s. is engaged at a steel mill. A bols. shevik worker, trying to commit sabs’'' otage on the machine at which he m worked, was himself terribly manJ- gled in the break-up of the machine. - d The chaplain persuaded the manager n; to pay the man s wages while he was rsj disabled and his bills for surgica id I treatment and nursing besides. An< 31- a suitable job was waiting for hin ’•

when he got well. The amazement ot the other employes at such generosity brought a ’tremendous change into the spirit of the employes and inaugurated a new spirit of good-will into the mill. The fearless application of Christ's principle of love, despite discouragements, will be the only complete and lasting solution of our problems. A BUSINESS-DEAL Messrs. F. V. Mills and Carl C. Pumphrey Buy Mrs. Deam’s Block. WILL OCCUPY THEM Each New Owner Plans Improvements That Will Add to Second Street. A business deal of importance was, closed today when Fred V. Mills purchased the building in which hi’ 1 grocery has been located for many ■ years and Carl G. Pumphrey bought! the buildng occupied by the Dallas' Hunsicker confectionery store, from, Mrs. Jessie Deam, the consideration being $14,500 for the two buildings. I Mr Ptiltlphrev to V'-mcdel 1 his building as soon as he gbts possession which however will probably not be until next year. He will have one of the most attractive stores of its kind in the middle west, with a modern heating plant, a new front and a building arranged for his p'articular need with office rooms on the second floor. Mr. Mills also expects to add a new front and the two new owners are planning to remove the stairway between the buildings and erect one new staircase to serve b. th blocks. The improvements will add to the attractiveness 'and the progressiveness of the investors is deserving of commendation. The deal was closed through the Erwin & Michaud Real Estate agency. SOLDIERS BUSY Two Hundred Sign Petition Against Appointment of Alleged Non-combatant. j BERNE HAS A SCRAP Opposition to Appointment of Vilas Schindler to he the Postmaster. Returned soldier boys in Adams county, particularly in the vicinit) . of Berne, are up in arms against tilt i appointment of Vilas Schindler to the postmastership of Berne, according to information received here today.
