The rains will save the corn crop and will assure an income to thousands in the middle west and for this every man, woman and child in the middle west will be thankful. It's time to be thinking about your coal tor next winter. Don’t put it off until the jam when the fuel is needed, is on. Prices now quoted are probably as low as they will be and you ought to play it safe. Everyone was smiling yesterday when the day started off with bright sunshine and perfect fair weather and everybody was happy. The needed rain will help the crops and the fair too, and the frowns and •wrinkles of worry changed immediately to grins and nods. The chautauqua at the fair is even bigger and better than last year which is saying something. Guy Green is again in charge and he is. a wonder. He sees everything, does a million things a day, smiles and shakes bands, keeps the program going and is sure the right man in the right place. Republican politicians who are trying to run down the throats of the people low wages, excessive taxes, additional power for the legislators, etc., will soon discover that the people after all do not reli.ih concentration of power when the benefits all go to the rich and powerful.

iug Don't forget that you will have the opportunity to vote September 6tb on thirteen proposed amendments to the constitution of Indiana. Each wo sincerely and honestly believe should be defeated. The legislature needs no more power and wo are sure the officials don't and besides the list Includes several very vicious. Vote against them and be safe, be sure to vote and to see that the rest of the family and your neighbors understand the importance of this election. Stylo is a queer thing and often results in unusual dress but the fads have not heretofore taken so well among men. Now we have a new one. To be strictly in style, men must wear their hair long and have it marcelled. Tough on us whose Imir has been thinned by the old barber of time and who will hope that the new style will only reach those silly youths who have time to bother with such useless waste of time. In the cities men are also meeting the style so popular among women of dyeing their hair, but you can't convince us that those who indulge are real men. A ten year old boy, David Cramer, won the first prize in the boys and girls’ pig club contest, an honor worth while. It Is not alone the fact that he receives the prize, which -in fact is a small part of it. The main thing is that he has made good and that continued effort on his part in the years to come will bring him great success in many lines. It pays to work and it pays to win for the worker always wins. To those who tried is the knowledge thus gained and the honors given them. They all made a wonderful showing and more than deserved the kind things said of them by those in charge. Boost your home fair. We are sure you will find a lot of things that you feel are just right, that you will agree that it's the biggest event of its kind you ever attended for the same cost, that there is more doing than you Imagined was given at any fair, that it’s a real county fair and more —a district exposition.

fair in the country told us yesterday b that it compared favorably with the t greatest state shows in the country. !i It's worth something to have that if kind of a fair. Be a booster. Don’t e hunt for things to find fault about, g The management will be glad to t have friendly criticism but not 1 knocks, in fact you will have to go ; some to find any thing to knock j about. From year to year it will be ’ improved and with your continued assistance, made bigger and better. By a resolution adopted by the board of review of Adams county, consisting of W. B. Sholty, George Stahley, Martin Jaberg, Hugh Hite and William Frazier, express the opinion that the assessed valuation on automobiles in Adams county should not be increased and thus decline to obey the order from the state tax board so to do. What the lesults will be we do not know but' by this action full responsibility is placed where it belongs, upon the state tax board. The reasons set forth in the resolution it seems ’ should be sufficient argument to conI vince that body, namely that the valuation fixed is the true cash value; Lis equal to or higher than that of adjoining counties, is larger than that H of a year ago though the values have ■ really declined, that the greater numJ ber of automobiles owned in this j county are low priced machines. It the state tax commissioners insist I upon it and place a blanket increase i upon each car, it can at least be said that the local officers have tried to prevent such unfair and unjust aci tion. The board of review deserve ! the commendation of the citizens of the county for their action. The Wells county board of review after an all-day session yesterday, voted to refuse the recommendation of the state tax board cent, increase on household goods and farm implements and in per cent, on automobiles in Weils county, according to the list of percentages as figured out by Field Representative Nussbaum.—Bluffton Banner.

Women doing housework, or employed in office or factory, who suffer from backache. Ume muscles, stiff joints, rheumatic pains, biliousness or other symptoms of kidney trouble find relief in Foley Kidney Pills.
