The Northern Indiana fair is not an ordinary country fair. It's a district fair, with two hundred head of race horses, wonderful features, the greatest exhibit of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry ever seen at any country fair. The people within a radius of a hundred miles know this and they are coming, thousands of visitors, every day next week. There will be more people on the Bellmont grounds tomorrow than attends the ordinary fair. We should meet the occasion by extending the hand of good fellowship. Fred Reppert and his assistants will do the rest, but this is up to you. The best way in the world to greet the people is by a display of flags and bunting. Say hello and howdy and say It loudly. Let them know that we realize that this Is an attraction far above the average and that Adams county is the best spot on earth. Months of work has been given to provide an agricultural chautauqua and a district fair that will please the people. Everything possible has been done and now it’s up to the weather man and you. Unless cloud bursts qome or we fail in our hospitality, the next week will be one long to be remembered by the people of Adams county. We are proud of the fair and every citizen should feel that it is part his duty to make It a success. Put on your very best smile, get your good old right hand ready and use them —and be sure to deorate. THE AMENDMENTS MUST BE DEFEATED:— On September 6th. five weeks from next Tuesday, the voters of Indiana will decide whether or not the legislature ought to have more power. On that day we will vote upon thirteen proposed amendments to the constitution calling for changes in the tax laws, rights for colored people, elections, terms of office and other matters of this kind. It all dwindles down to one point. These things that are now desired by a few politicians in power cannot be given under the present constitution and so the people are asked to grant, that power by changing the said constitution in a special election. We doubt the legality of the entire as-

fair and we know that It will if it carries establish a dangerous precedent, making It easy to obliterate the safe guards placed about us by the wise forefathers who wrote the original document. Each amendment should be overwhelmingly defeated so that similar attempts will not be made in the future. Remember the date and don’t forget that ft is your business and one which in the years to come will .eave you untold sums of money in taxes. The republican editors of Indiana held a meeting at Hammond a day or two ago and the thriller for the occasion was an effort by Senator Harry New to explain why and what the present administration has done in Washington and what excellent results have been obtained. He apologized for the fact that some ten million men are out of work and business as dead as a mackerel and everybody disatisfied, wound the American flag about him and let the J eagle scream. It was a fine exhibition of nerve, safe only when the audience was made up of republican editors. Senator New told the difference between a panic and a busil ness depression. Os course they are very similar to the hungry man but one sounds better than the other. It s almost time to smile. The band concert last evening was really wonderful and hundreds of citizens marveled at the splendid work performed by the leader, David ' Rice, who in a few weeks has produced a band which plays the most delightful music and drives away I care from the mind of those who list- , en. Had any one told it was possible I to give to a band of youngsters such ' a training in so short a time, you would have laughed at the joke, but the possibility of such a feat has certainly been demonstrated here. Decatur has a real musical organiza- ' tion, an asset to the city and we bei lieve we could well afford to keep I Mr. Rice here for an indefinite per- - iod. Each concert brings a larger i crowd and each one pleases more • than before. Ten per cent additional assessment on the automobiles of Indiana, increased assessments because of some personal feeling, exorbitant tax rates every where, useless officers and appointees—these should be sufficient reasons to make every tax payer in the state vote against the proposed amendments to the constitution on September 6th. We believe those in authority should have less power, rather than more—what do you think about it? If the business depression continues another year and the taxes keep on growing as is predicted by the sfate commission and we give them more power by amending the constitution, It will be interesting to read the dispatches from this country in the papers of Russia and other foreign lands. Perry McGill of Muncie has arrived at the fair grounds and opened a blacksmith ’shop. He has done work for race men for many years.

BASE BALL Sunday Afternoon BeHmont Park COLORED GIANTS vs. DECATUR Game called 3 o’clock Admission 50 cents.

Eair Grounds Like a ' Great White Way , (Coßtlßtied from page one) there is a town, village or hamlet near Decatur that does not know of the Northern Indiana fair. It will bo because their place is not accessible by airplane. Watch for the Air Bulletin. the only paper of its kind delivered from the clouds. The Health Exhibit Dr. Ada Schweitzer, of the Indiana state board of health, child hygiene division, arrived this morning from Indianapolis, with the exhibit of the Indiana state board. It will be well worth the time of any one to call at this exhibit and see what is being done, and what can be done to care for the children of Adams county, the state and nation. The Red Cross tent Is teing erected this afternoon, and the children’s playground is being placed iff readiness. Bring all the babies and the grown-ups. This part of the association’s plans is all free. This was one of the pleasant surprises of last year’s fair, as tired mothers could bring their babies, leave them in chargd of competent nurses, and enjoy the fair. To tell all the new features and interesting things of this fair would require more space than our typesetters would be able to set the type for. If you have not been out to the grounds, you have no idea of what is located in Adams county. The question is asked time and time again, ‘Will they be able to take care of all the people on Tuesday?” Manager J. O. Sellemeyer, between jumps, says: “Let them all come; we are ready for them, and able to take care of them in good shape.” The person who is not on the fair grounds next Tuesday, and every lay thereafter will find himself very lonesome, as the rest of the folks will all be at the fair. The Poultry Exhibit Ben Shroyer and N. O. Grove are in charge of the big poultry tent, which will be located near the same location as that of last year. This tent Is almost twice the size of the tent used last year, being 70x120 feet. All new steel coops will be used this year, and there are entries from every poultry fancier in this and adjoining counties. Urbana, 0., will also send a big consignment, and Huntington county, with a large number of the very, best poultry men in the country, will be well represented. Entries have been good, and if there is any one in this community who has "fine stock, he is urged to bring it in. SPORTS? Come out to Bellmont park early tomorrow afternoon and be sure of a good seat in the grand stand for the best ball game of the season. The Colored Giants of Fort Wayne, n highly tooted organization of the Summit City will journey to this city and will clash with the locals at Bellnont park tomorrow afternoon, the game to be called at three o’clock.. The locals are expecting a hard battle tomorrow as the visitors have defeated a number of the strongest teams in this section of the country. The visitors carry with them Bee Selden of Van Wert who is considered one of the best short stops in the country and for a time has played with a colored 1c ague. The locals will use their same line-up, and if you enjoy seeing a good game come out tomorrow. Admission fifty cents, grand stand free. Mr. and Mrs. Harley Doner and son. Leßoy, of Willshire, Ohio, were visitors in this city today. Mrs. Martin Hoffman of Washington township was a shopper in Decatur this morning. I Mr. and Mrs. Martin Auman and daughter of Root township were shoppers in this city today. Mrs. Isaac Bowman and daughter, Mary, motored to Decatur this morning from Monroe. - l —— B TENOR SOLOIST REi COMMENDS FOLEY’S John F. West, 272 Morris Ave., • Trenton,N.
