WAR RISK INSURANCE: — An effort is being made everywhere in the country to impress upon the ex-soldier the value ot' his war risk Insurance, and to demonstrate to his complete satisfaction the folly that lies in permitting this insurance to drop. There is a feeling of financial independence which attaches to the man who is properly fortified against the future. Moreover, as is the case with life insurance, there is the supreme satisfaction accruing to the feeling that in the event something does happen to rob dependents of their means of support the insurance policy always is available as a means of keeping the family circle secure against any influences which might 1 be hostile to proper maintenance of loved ones. Over and above the per- : sonal consideration which is involved i

Our answer to this gentleman was, “It is not true.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is distinct from other corporations naving a similar name. It is owned by 4799 stockholders, of whom 2124 are women. No single stockholder owns as much as 10 percent of the total stock. The affairs of this Company are administered by a Board of Directors consisting of 7 men, who devote their entire time to. the Company’s business and arc connected in no way with any other Standard Oil Company. Each man has won his position through demonstrated ability and is a specialist in handling the particular work for which he is responsible. The personnel of the present Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is Mr. Robert W. Stewart Chairnun of the Board Mr. Wm. M. Burton President Mr. Henry S.

There are some easy going, irresponsible people in the country who would try to persuade the ex-soldier that it is all tommyrot to keep on paying in on war risk insurance. And some of the young men unfortunately, have yielded to this kind of talk and permitted their insurance to lapse

| Uncle Sam designed this in»uranc('| as a national protection to the famil-i j lea of the men who wore the khaki. ■ It Is not a money making proposition] j tor the United States government . | I But it is an admirable method ot i promoting security, safety and satisi faction. The men who hold insurance | of this character are young men who can well afford to hold their heads high in their several communities. Young men should continue to pay the premiums required and convert the war risk insurance certificates into policies under one of the plans offered by the United States govern . went. It is simply a question of i common seuse. —Dayton News. A fearful mess, one that will bring trouble and almost ruin to the great state of Indiana, is that brought on by the unfair, unjust and unconstitutional tax law. You might as well make up vour mind that the legislature now in session will be unable to straighten out the tangled web of affairs while trying to play politics. The legalizing of the horizontal increased valuations will but bring on more suits in court which will hold up targe sums of money for years while it is fought through to the United States supreme court by foreign cor poruiions. In the meantime the people will be assessed higher and higher to meet the demands and to keep in power a lot of useless road superintendents, members of comoissions and idle officials. It’s time the people assert themselves and here is but one thing to do, repeal he present tax and road laws and revrite them properly and justly. Until that is done there will be no foundation for relief. The republican administration knows that it is wrong' 'mt feels that politically they can’t| afford to admit it. There's the rub. | Dr.v republicans and prohibitionists are greatly excited because the law and order plank touching upon the. nforcement of the eighteenth amendnent as adopted by the republican i convention, has been left out of the platform as printed by republican headquarters. The plank was adopt-' ed unanimously when Chairman Hinshaw of the national prohibition committee and W. J. Bryan were present I and was published as a part of the platform in all the big papers. The i matter is now being investigated. J The public considers it another case of carrying water on two or three j shoulders. Decatur factories are running full time, there is plenty of employment ] for every one and at good wages, times are good. If the big interests of this country bring about a tie up and create a business panic at a time 1 when every coal bin is empty, when newspaper plants are clamoring for print paper, when every concern and every individual is demanding service, they will bring about a result I at the coming election, just the opposite of that which they hope to attain. Like the ostrich they have their heads stuck in the sand and imagine the public is not wise. The Pennsylvania railway company has issued an order laying off 12,000 men dn the first of August. Evidently they are getting ready for the announced program of some time ago. With the demand for coal and other products it seems to the ordinary citizen an unusual proceeding and one wonders what the future will reveal as to the cause. Ttbose who thought a few weeks ago that the campaign this year would be uninteresting and the results assured from the go, have changed their minds and such papers as the New York Tribune, leading republican paper of the east, has warned the g. o . p. that they will have the hardest battle in history with the result very much in doubt. The special session set to con- ■ •’ . i elude infs business within three days and adjourn is still struggling along in a manner which indicates a lack of leadership and the people are paying the bills. How long do you propose to permit this waste of funds and incompetent management of affairs?

Governor Cox and President Wilson held a conference at the White House Sunday and much to the disappdintment of the stand pat politician, there was no break between these two leaders of the democratic hosts. On the contrary the interview seems to have been entirely satisfactory to every one concerned, including the public. The print paper situation continues very serious and with not indicaions of relief. The spot market today is

Chautauqua and Old llerie W» with the big fair should provide] enough entertainment for the aver-, age person in Adams county during . | the next three weeks. Boost both. They are good things for the com- ] munity. Don’t get too excited over politics. It’s too early and if you get up a hundred pounds of steam now you may be running on low before the election, which is still more than three months away. The rains have been somewhat numerous in this locality but at that lhe crops look fine and indications for a bountiful harvest are excellent.
