It war published in the Port Wayne News and is the real opinion of the editoi after the smoke of the election ha; cleared. Read this on the proposed repeal of the primary law: “In taking this step Mr. CcCray i: going somewhat further than the stat< platform of his party which merely recommended the amendment of tin statute in question, but at that he is no whit in advance of the sentiment of his party in Indiana. The platform declaration was a miserable bit ol evasion and was ’due entirely to the fact that the resolutions committee oi the state convention was contrclli C by . as pitiful and pusillanimous a pack ol I pussy-footers as ever misrepresented . their constituents and brought their i party's name into reproach. The dem- ! ocratic state platform in this particular was much more frank, sincere, and sensible, as it declared unequivocally for the law’s repeal and denounced it as tho legislative monstrosity that it really is.” The acts of the two special sessions of the legislature are now in effect, copies having been sent out and the proclamation of the governor issued. The January session produced tw’o laws, one providing ap- i propriations and the other ratifying ■ the suffrage amendment. The second special brought forth changes in the highway and tax laws, provided relief for the teachers, a half way “blue sky law” and a world war memorial at Indianapolis. The "blue sky law” will not protect the people of the state against stock grafters but is a start in that direction and , may eventually perform its purpose. | Let's hope so for the law is need'll and many states have similar stat-. utes that do the work effectively.

p It is now asserted that the real j reason for repealing the primary law , 13 to prevent Albert J. Beveridge, a 1.1 former bull moo'ser from securing r the nomination. They perhaps lose i- said has promised Will Hays the ’ honor if Senator New is made postmaster general, but Hays could not! secure the nomination in a primary against Beveridge so the law will be repealed and the old guard will put , cut the orders that Hays must have' the naaiination. They perhaps lose track of the fact that after that the people vdte on the selected of sena tor. It's an interesting game from 1 the side lines just now. The report of the engineers show ing the exact condition of the city light and power company was made last night and will be made public at once.' It Is reported that no increase will be necessary on the light and power rates but that the water rates must be increased to meet the -ost of production. The water rates have always been very low here and ihe cost of pumping and forcing the■ water through the mains is great. The public will not object to paying 1 i sufficient amount to cover the over- ■ ,ead cost of producing the splendid, ■ pure water furnished. The report will be of much interest to the people of this community. The child with no education, accord ing to satistics carefully prepared, has one chance in 161.000. If he has an I elementary education he has one chance in 40,800 to succeed while; vra >uates of high schools have one' enance in 1,606 and graduates of col ' Tege one chance In 173. This should I prove to every boy and girl that th ? effort to fight his way through the'' educational limit is easily worth while. All who secure a college or high school diploma do not make good but | certainly it increases your opportunity. — — If the two hundred school teacher•• I of Adams county will unite their ; trength they can be the biggest force j in this community. They each have the opportunity of reaching a large number of children directly and through them, their parents. They can lead in many things and should do it for the good of their profession ; and the schools. We know a young lady, whose age is less than twenty, who walks three , 1 miles each morning, teaches all day and walks back home in the evening. She is doing excellent work, her scholars love her and are learning under her, she is happy and is doing ' a great work. Don’t you think such j girls deserve boosting? There are a I number of them in the county and

OBITUARY Caroline Keller, second daughter of Aaron and Anna* Mary Keller, was born In York, York county, Pa-. September 12, 1832, and died at her home in Monroe. Indiana, at 1:20 o'clock Friday afternoon. November 12, 1920. aged 88 years, 2 months. When she was but 3 years of age her parents left the place of her birth, and for a few years, settled at Woos£er. Ohio. They then moved to Millersburg. Ohio, where Caroline grew up and was married to Jonathan Morrison. To them were born two children, twin girls, one of which died in infancy; the other died at fifteen years of age. No other children were born to her. Mr. Morrison died in 1872, at Millersburg, Ohio, and after a few years his widow came to visit and be with her relatives who had moved to Adams county, Indiana. Here she met and married John Reed of this county. Mr. Reed died In 1885, and she was for the second time left alone. Her third marriage was to George W. Teeple, of Decatur, who died Nov. 30, 1916. One year after the death of her husband, that she might be near the only living member of her father's family, Mr. George W. Keller, well known and highly esteemed by us all. she came to live in Monroe where her earth life closed. When in her younger womanhood, while living in Ohio, she gave her heart to God, and united with the church of the Disciples of Christ. On coming to Indiana, she united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and her name now stands upon the rolls of the First Methodist chtfrch at Decatur, she never having transfered her membership to the church at Monroe. \ To her parents there were born eight children. The parents with six of the children passed to the other ’ shore before Mrs. Teeple. But one lingers upon the shores of time, Mr. George W. Keller,, who still lives ! among us, full of years, waiting for ' his translation, to the beautiful lands beyond the river of death. Os the most-distant relatives there are many. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Monroe at 10 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. L. M. Krider and the interment was in the cemetery at Decatur. WOMEN'S SPHERE AT THE CHICAGO STOCK SHOW Not only for the farm woman were ■ the features of the International Live ■Stock Exposition especially designed to arouse feminine interest created. Between city and country women there is a common interest. Housekeeping has been reduced to a science in recent years and is intensifying that character as time works along. The International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago, November 27th to December 4th, will afford an unprecedented opportunity for the wives and daughters to study domestic science. Skilled demonstrators will expound the principles of that-essen-tial art, solving vexed problems asso elated with living cost by the introduction of modern and efficient metnods into domestic culinary operations. Go and see how the cheaper cuts ot | meats may be prepared to create palatable dishes; investigate other phas|es of this interesting study and add Ito your mental equipment for meeting new housekeeping problems. In recent year z s the “International” has rapidly developed features of absorbing interest and educational value to the. mothers, wives and daughters of the American family apart from the general attractions valuable in an educational and recreative sense to both sexes. THE POOR SIMP” The name of Owen Moore has become synonymous with that new variety of comedy that has taken the American theater|gainK 'public by i storm. Some people call it "polite comedy”—it’s really comedy drama, depending for its humor on complicaI tlo-ns wherein the hero is wropg every time he is right. It inspires sympathy fop the hero —and makes that sympathy expressible in laughter. In such a comedy as this, called i “The Poor Simp,” Owen Moore is Ito appear at the Mecca theater toI night. The story deals with the rather surprising adventures of a rich young American who leaves his fiancee and her mother to attend to a trifling er-rand,-arid runs into a street fight and , right of . the picture. He finds himself lin a taxi with a beautiful unknown I young woman and a gangster. By the cyclonic development of Plot the young American finds himself deserted by fiancee, and himseif under the shadow- of sudden and mysterious death. Then—the clouds part | but not without many laugh-producing 1 incidents.

STATE LOSES FEE B — — | Non-Resident Hunters ReJ ported to be Representing Themselves as Residents C GET LICENSE CHEAP r "" * Attempt to Save sl4 May Prove Costly if They Happen to be Convicted I 1 Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 17. Game wardens of the state department of , conservation have been Instructed to Michigan, Kentucky and Winos are • question all hunters as to their prop- ’ er residence. This action is necessary 1 in view of the reports to the depart- ’ inent. that non-residents are permitted ' to hunt on resident licenses, the state ' is losing a considerable revenue that it rightfully should receive. According to Richard Lieber, director of conservation in Indiana, any non-resident found hunting with a res--1 idet license will be vigorously prosecuted, and the attempt at saving $14.00 will prove costly. Attention is 1 called that the minimum fine upon conviction for such an offense is $25; maximum, SIOO, to which may be added imprisonment not less than 301 days and not to exceed 60 days. MID-WEEK SERVICE — 1 The regular mid-week service at the Presbyterian church will be lead by Mrs. S. D. Beavers. Hie topic, “Homes and Housing in Relation to Church Life," based on the third chapter of “The Church and Community,” will be studied. An unusually good program has been planned. The pastor especially requests every member to try to be there in his absence. PEGGY coughed for an hor.7 after bedtime until Mother thought of Kemp’s Jlalsam.
