The advantage of using the John Deere No. 999 is that by moving one lever it will plant two, three or four kernels in a hill, just the number you want there—no more—no Jess—vou can depend upon it.

1 Early election returns from Mich igan stale tiiat Hiram Johnson is leading General Wood in the race for the republican presidential primary. It looks like Wood did not have his complete force of press agents in the Wolverine state.

Our old friend George Saunders editor of the Bluffton Banner, has an s nounced himself as a candidate for the ) legislature to represent Wells and s Blackford counties. No liner citizen 1 lives in all Indiana and the people of j those two counties will know thev i have a real representative in the general assembly when George gets there as most certainly he will. The dirty mess in Marion county where a self-convicted criminal is serving as sheriff and refuses to get off the ticket though the republican leaders have demanded it, bids fair to assume a calamity that will turn the state over to the democrats next November. If you want to read some, real interesting political do«pe, just keep in touch with the Indianapolis situation. It’s getting warm down there. Extend the hand of welcome to the visitors here Saturday. The G. E. officials are coming with the employees. Their treatment may mean many things for the old town. They will grow as rapidly as we permit them. The present G. E plant in Ft.

E. ■ and forget your troubles. Attend the dedication and help make it a success. . Today, April Cth, is the third anni-

versary of the declaration of war against the German government by the United States. On this memorable i day, Good Friday, it was, all the strength and power of a united people, including men, money and unlimited resources were thrown Into the fight to defeat the enemy of mankind which was marching on to Paris, but was stopped within a few milea of Uieir goal when the American soldiers, the greatest fighters in the world, took a stand at Chateau Thierry and in less than nineteen months made the unscrupulous enemy bend their knees and sue for peace. Right had won and the forces of might were defeated. But one regrettable fact overshadows this glorious victory, the senate's refusal to ratify the peace treaty. The war has been won but the senate has prevented the realization of it. HE SHOULD ACT Rockville, Tnd, April 6. —The proposed memorial is of sufficient importance to warrant Governor Goodrich in calling a special session of the legislature at once, according to State Senator George L. Laney, who todaysent a letter to American Legion of-

ficlals in Indianapolis expressing his i views. • "I wish to assure yon of my heart ' ' cooperation in any laudable measure | which has for its purpose the assist I ing of the boys who so grandly and nobly did what was imposed on them.” his letter says. “I am of the opinion that if there were no other reason I that the governor should call a special session of the legislature to tak< action with reference to this matter.” ‘‘l assure you that in the event the governor should call such a session, I will heartily support any measure which will tend to confer on the Legion the rights to which it is entitled.” CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY p ut out this slip. enclose with 5c and mail it t' Foley & Co.. 2835 Sheffield Ave., Chi cago. 111., writing your name and ad dress clearly.

i OBITUARY . Cordelia Ann Shell, daughter oi John and Nancy Shell, was born in Knox county, Ohio, February 1. 1838 and departed this life Sunday, March 28, 1920, at the age of 82 years, 1 month and 27 days. She came with her parents to St. Mary's township. Adams county, Indiana, in 1854. In her youth she was converted and Joined the Evangelical church. At her death her name was on the roll of the Pleasant Mills Methodist church In 1856 she was united in marriage to Hugh Bay. To this union were bon four children. Nancy, Sarah, Mary and the first child, a son. who died in infancy. The husband and father enlisted early in the Civil war and gave his life for the union, being killed in the battle of Nashville. Tenn. The departure of Mrs. Bay’s spirit marks the close of a long and useful life. She was one of those vigorous pioneers on whose foundation of home making through toll and sacrifice, we of the younger generation have build ed. Throughout her life she enjoyed good health until about two years ago when stricken with a long illness followed a stroke of paralysis. She spent part of this winter with her daughter. Mrs. Case, coming on her birthday tc the home of the other daughter. Mrs Brodbcck. Three weeks later she suf sered a severe fall on account of an other stroke of paralysis. She hat suffered greatly since then, until relieved at the command of Him who doeth all things well. Sister Bay was not one of many words, always speaking quietly and kindly, but like the quiet waters which run deep, her faith in God w strong and true. There remain to mourn their loss, one brother Albert Shell, living at

Bobo, two daughters, Mrs. Sarah Ikodbeck and Mrs. Mary Case, both of Adams county, nine grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren and many other friends and relatives. “Servant of God. well done! Thy glorious warefare’s past; The battle’s fought, the race is won And thou art crowned at last." LONDON ENJOYS THE EASTER SEASON London. April 6. — “Hot-cross-buns. hot-cross-buns. One a penny, two a pepny, The Old woman runs.” The old-time “hot-cross-bun” seller no longer rings a bell and runs to unply the common or garden bun with an “Easter cross” upon it, nor : <» th.•re t> many fancy-colored Easter eggs to be- seen nowadays, but frit.shers are celebrating the Easter heli'.ays in the pre-war spirit. The Food Controller having removed certain restrictions, the time-hon-or; d custom of eating buns marked with a cross oa Good Friday has tern resumed and many hundreds of !'■ >u ind of jyoungstons proceeded to run their digestions in the good eld style all over Great Britain. Industrial, commercial, and official Briiian broke off diplomatic relations with work yesterday and settled down to enjoy the Easter holidays. Today lis a “bank” or national holiday, tomorrow is an unofficial holiday for banks only by Royal proclamation in which the great majority of workers participate, and Monday is another official national “bank holiday.” So the average worker ceased work from Thursday evening until Tuesday morning. The religious side of the Easter festival was not neglected, for this morning the customary church services were largely attended; but the holiday spirit was everywhere. Many important foot ball matches drew huge crowds both morning and afternoon, and despite the popular outcry against the high cost of living, financial troubles seemed to have been temporarily I forgot, for the railway companies reI port record bookings of holiday makers [to the country and seaside. tZ r.’ Lark ntroit ajertvm zA if II .
