The primary is only a few days away. Tuesday, May 4th, is the day on which the candidates on the democratic ticket will be selected and you as a voter should not fail to vote. The election booths will be open at six o’clock in the morning on primary election day, Tuesday, May 4th. Be one of the first voters. Don’t fail to 1 cost your ballot for the candidates General Wood evidently does not think much of the republicans in Adams county, he visiting almost every county in this part of the state except Adams. Maybe lie knows that the organization is against him. " ~ The town of Berne proposes to have a band again this year, the. council having appropriated six hundred dollars towards the organization. I It is the plan to pay the members of. the band thirty dollars for each con cert and the schedule calls for twenty concerts during the summer months, j If Berne can afford a band, Decatur , should be able to have one also. ; i Word comes from Lafayette to the effect that one of its well known |< citizens and who by the way is.; a candidate for governor, has | been arraigned in court for making < false returns in his tax assessment , sheet during the last eight years. • This is indeed surprising for the few | who were lead to believe that he was ] a really ’’good” man. Since. General Wood completely ig- , nored the republican organization in ■, this county in his trip over the state, it is doubtful if he will receive much i of a vote in Adams county. Wood visited Fort Wayi, and then went to Bluffton, without ever touching the Adams county line. Possibly the republicans haven’t an organization in the county. The democrats have completed a I strong organization in the state and after the nominees are selected next, Tuesday, will get into the campaign with a thousand pounds of steam and

• the election of the party into power in Indiana next fall is assured. Cast your first vote with the democratic party at the primary and win in the tall election. In answer to the inquiry where the county hospital would be built should the vote on Tuesday be in favor of , building the institution, we desire to i inform our readers that the county has donated a plat of ground in the old fair grounds as a site for the hospital. This action was taken by the county commissioners some time ago, and we ] believe it meets the hearty approval i of everyone. , .. ... . . 1 If Adams county can obtain a mod ern hospital by levying a lax of on’v 1 1 two mills on each dollar’s worth of j,| f property in the county, we believe j that a majority of the voters and tax fl tl

payers will vote in favor of building V the institution. With such a small tax I which would be stretched out for r 1 period of ten years, a taxpayer h -ed for ten thousand dollars would ! ■ required to pay only two dolars a years I or twenty dollars in the ten yea's towards the building of it If you want . the hospital be sure you vote on Tues i day. May 4th. The matter will then be decided definitely. Phil Zoercher and members of the state tax board will now tell the tax payers of Jefferson township whetlici ■they can build a consolidated school I i regardless if the people want it I lor not. Zoercher heard the evidence! last week and before any action if I taken by the trustee, the approval o'. I the tax board must be obtained. You | ■can’t spend your own money or build 1 ■ school houses or keep open public I libraries unless this autocratic tax I board says so and in this instance th< I taxpayers or the trustee cannot de . t ide on the matter one way or thi I j other. It’s a good thing that electior I [tomes this year. I This is the tax-paying soa.-on and I on account of the present state tax I law, the taxpayers of Adams county I are paying into the county treasurer.-1 office more money this year than has I ever exchanged hands in this county I The state’s share is over twenty-five I thousand dollars more this year than I last. Besides, the taxpayers lose be I tween seventeen and eighteen thou I sand dollars this year on account oi I the highway law which takes away I the automobile tax. Much of this I money which goes to the state is foi I salaries of the members of the new I commissions appointed by Governoi I Goodrich and the taxpayers are no I receiving a single benefit, for instauc I what good has the highway law dom I Adams county. Do not give those can I didates who contend that the law is : I good one any encouragement by I voting for them at the primary.

O; ESTATE MAN IS ENTHUSIASTIC South Bend Business Man SayT nlac Built Him Up After the ‘Flu’ l ia:.k J. Ar..; rsou. a prominent real esbi'e man and a member of the South 'Bend real estate board, with offices at 663 Farmers Trust Building, South Bend. Ind., gives the public the benefit of his experience with Tanlae, the. medicine that proved so effectual in building up his system following an attack of influenza a year ago. ; “In the spring of 1919," said Mr. Anderson, “when the ‘flu’ epidemic was at its worst I was an easy victim, for 1 was already in a run-down condition. It took hard work to pull me through and when I did get out of bed 1 was too weak to do anything. My appetite was gone and my stomach troubled we worse then than ever. For six or seven years my stomach had been in such a condition that if 1 ventured to eat such things as tried potatoes, soup or beans, or any of the more substantial and nourishing foods, I would bloat up with sour gas. get short of breath and just feel miserable. I had neglected the importance of keeping my system built* up, and when the ‘flu’ came along it came near ending tne. I “After being up for some time and getting no strength I decided it was high time for ma to do something to bring back my strength and keep from having a back-set. One of my friends advised me to get Tanlae, saying he believed it was the only medicine that would actually do the work in such cases, as he had tried out himself. So I took his advice, got me some Tanlae, and in almost no time I was able to walk all about the house. I soon began to eat heartily, and as everything agreed with me I commenced to get my strength and natural feeling back. My stomach was In better shape than ft had been in ■ ‘urs and I can now eat things that used to hurt me and 1 never feel a sign of indigestion aft erwards. I kept on improving and in a short time I was working about t‘ house again. In two or three we«*« after I began taking Tanlae I was ab , solutely free of any bad feeling anti have been ever since I took any Tan !■ lac until now. j am taking it now at e a preventive against the ‘flu’. I car ' now sit down to the table and eat t square meal with as much pleasurt as I ever could in my life and I’m al , ways feeling too good to complain o 1 ‘ a thing. 1 certainly feel thankful u the Tanlae company for making sucl a splendid medicine.” lD Tanlao is sold in Decatur at Smith . , Yager and Falk's, in Berne at Stenge Craig’s and in Geneva at F.

SYMPATHETIC EAR Is Ever Turned by the Salvation Army to Needs of Convicts and Criminals JESSE JAMES’ PAL Found Real Worth of the Organization in the Days When He Ran a Saloon Indianapolis, Ind.. April 29. — Hardened.criminals are usually considered as beyond the pale of ordinary beneticiance, a fact which may be due lo ( the paucity of the help that has been given them, but the Salvation Army has ever turned a sympathetic ear tc the needs of convicts and its outstretched hands are always ready to help discharged prisoners. Recently In Memphis. Tenn., Kit Dalton, last survivor of the Jesse James band of outlaws, turned before he died to the ministrations of the Salvationists. He told those who cared for him that he found the real worth of the organization in the days whei he ran a saloon, that he had seen tht army's fearless work and honored it. in his truck was a revolver bearinr seven notches which had been givei him by his chief. Jesse James. A mat who jiad lived a life of violence such as his knew that nevertheless he could find kindness in corps of the Salvation Army. ’ The organization recently was able to secure restoration of citizenship for j a man who had been pardoned after serving S 6 years of a commuted sea I ten< e for murder in the first degree J This may seen an impossibility, but it was accomplished. The man. Edward Geoghan, has become a respect cd citzen since his release, which he also attributes to the kind offices of the organization that ha done so much for him. It secured him a position and helped him to “go straight" after his panion. The army's prison work includes assistance given the families of those incarcerated, prayer and attention for the men in the cells, and unhesitating free-handed helpfulness for them when they have been released. Thus many are saved the bitteivese that would turn them again to criminal ways and arc set straight on the road to becoming useful members of the community. This prison work has grown apace and now operated in more than 630 institutions throughout the United States. It is supported from the Home Service Fund which supplies the means by which all the army’s undertakings in America exist. The plan for extension of the prison work until it includes every penal institution in the country is largely dependent upon the success that will attend the 1920 appeal for the support of this Home Service Fund. May 10 to 20 the Salvationists will make this plea, which is for the $10,000,000 required to continue their activities throughout the coming year. REV. ROGERS SECURED Rev. G. C. Rogers has been secur ed as the supply minister of the M E. circuit to June Ist. taking the place of Rev. Shipley who has gone to Lee. Rev. Rogers wili preach at the Mt.
