A political promise is not always dependable, as a number from this county know and if we expect to get a square deal on the road proposition which would, to some extent, at least balance the taking away of our automobile license fund and inheritance tax, there should be more organization and more effort to get the Portland to Fort Wayne road. It should have been on the map in the first place by all rules laid down, but because of. influence of certain land owners who profit thereby, it was side-tracked via ! Pennville. If any one known how to get the road, do it now. for in a few days the map will have thfe “okay” of the high-ups, and then it's too late. The meeting of the workers for the Jewish Relief Campaign at the Lutz office tonight is important. The drive :

REMODEL VIIR ROME WITH KRAGSTONi And all your troubles will be over, because KRAGSTONE, possessing all the beauty, economy, and everlasting service characteristic of a plastic magnesia stucco, lends itself splendidly to all stucco purposes, and its performance on scores of buildings bears indisputable evidence of its record as unrivaled material for exterior covering. KRAGSTONE is NOT a cheap material, but it is first of all a product of QUALITY, and when it is put on your house it MUST GIVE SATISFACTION, because its manufacturers BACK IT UP TO THE LIMIT.

, ' , for $6,000 in Adams county will be ' made the week of the 29th and Mr. t Kalver, the chairman is anxious that it boa speedy campaign and the rec- '• ord established by this great county * be maintained. Tire money raised is f to be used to aid every one who needs help, but to save if possible the six million people of every religion now starving in foreign lands, a worthy cause and'Mr. Kalver is deserving of i ( your assistance. If you are in accord i with this great work attend tonight’s 1 meeting and help make the campaign ' a success. Barney Kalver deserves I your assistance. The greatest advertising campaign ever made in the world is being planned now by hundreds of big national advertisers. They will double, and in many cases, triple their volume and the same opportunity awaits the smaller business man. The re-, tailer who doesn’t get into the adver- ■ tising game this autumn is not very energetic- and you can put it down 1 that he is about as careless in buying . as he is in selling. Usually the fel-. low who is a good buyer is a good hustler when it comes to disposing of his wares. You will make money by reading carefully the advertisements i in the Daily Democrat each day. They , contain bargains, opportunities, inI ducements that will make you money and save you time. Though no real highway construe-1 tion work was done by the state com- | mission during the month of August, the operation of the central offices at ■ !

t rate of $166,140 per year, it is now . reported and this sum doesn’t include : the expenses of employes or the pet ■ diem allowed the commissioners I Though they had no particular work i to perform, an even dozen inspectors i were on the pay roll. Rather than a plan to improve roads in Indiana, it looks like a scheme to secure a political poll of the state at the expense of the tax payers. So far, no information has been received here that the state commission intends to give Adams county a square deal which will be hard enough at best. If the league of nations Is defeated, the world is set back fifty years and the opportunity is gone to advance Christianity, better living conditions and world democracy that will make the next hundred years the greatest period of all time. A few politicians should not so influence this nation I that this opportunity agreed to by the world’s greatest thinkers is passed up. The opponents offer no improvement, do not say what terms of a treaty they desire, but oppose it solely for political reasons. President Wil son has rightfully declared that you cannot defeat a big proposition unless you advance a bigger one, put up or shut up. It the league of nations becomes the political issue next year those short-sighted politicians nov. | opposing it will learn a lesson that I may last them a while.

Johnson’s Hohie Cheers Wildly For Mr. Wilson. (Continued From Page One) the government of the United States in a matter of this kind is in no way limited or affected by the covenant of the league of nations. 3. Under the covenant are those subject nations or peoples only that are mentioned in the peace treaty en- i titled to the right of self-determina-tion. or does the league possess the right to accord a similar privilege to other subject nations or peoples? Answer—lt was not possible for the peace conference to act with regard to the self-determination of any territories except those which had belonged to the, defeated empires, but in the covenant of the league of nations it was set up for the first time in article 11, a forum to which all claims of self-determination which are likely to disturb the peace of the world or the good understanding between nations upon wheih the peace of the world depends can be brought. 4. Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the peace conference? What is your position on the subject of self determination for Ireland? Answer—The case of 7 Ireland was not heard at the peace conference because the peace conference had no jurisdiction over any question of that sort which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated empires. My position on th'e subject of self-determination for Ireland is expressed in article 11 of the covenant in which, 1 may say." I was particularly interested, because it seemed to me necessary for the peace and freedom of the world that a forum be created to which all peoples could bring any matter which was likely to affect the peace and freedom of the world WANT ADB EARN—S $ $ $

GREAT PARADE TODAY (United Press Service) Washington, Sept. 17. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The first division parades up Pennsylvania avenue into history today with General Pershing at its head—a five mile mass of red ■ faced young men who saw the war “from soup to nuts” and then went into Germany for a -demitasse, and came back smiling.
