power combination which will for a while control the world. Some of our citizens are working hard Just now to give tie a real band and they deserve your support. Wo hope every one read the statement made by their correspondent in last evening's paper and that you will comply with whatever requests they make whioh we are sure will be modest and reasonable as they have always been. The community without a band is like a city without a newspaper, a mighty dead place. To have either they must be supported for they are as was stated, vital assets. Boost the band. ■gg! ■ The Hon. William Hays, a few years since, familiarly known here in Indiana as Billy is the wise bird of the politicians and a lucky one we would say. Hays was a country lawyer down in Sullivan a few years ago. During that period when republicans were as scarce as hens teeth and no one had the nerve to admit he belonged, Billy offered his services as state chairman of that apparently defunct organization. He worked long hours and while he didn't make much of a showing that year he did manage to hold together some sort of an organization. And then the bull moose party dwindled as rapidly as it had grown, the g. o. p. came back and Hays suddenly found himself quite a figure. The next year he showed some form and with the help of many lieutenants, carried the state. Then he became national chairman and ■ was given much of the credit for the victory of last year and a place in the < cabinet as postmaster general. And 1 now he is wise enough to commercial- 1 ize the reputation gained. It is claimed he has been offered, has accepted a position as general manager , for a big picture corporation and will retire from the cabinet to bask in the sunny clime of California, made famous by Chaplin, Arbuckle and the others. His salary is to be $150,000 per year. Wise Billy. WILL PLANT POTATOES. Warsaw, Dec. 20. —Considerable acreage of Kosciusko county which his year was devoted to corn will next year be sown in potatoes as a result of a campaign just launched by the Kosciusko County Farmers association he Kosciusko County Farmers Federation and County Agent Tom A. Parker. Each fall more than ten years past many carloads of Michigan and North Dakota potatoes have been shipped into Kosciusko county and from the cars to consumers. In future Kosciusko county farmers propose to raise enough potatoes that growers in other states will find it unprofitable to make shipments to this county. It was thoroughly demonstrated by several Kosciusko county farmers last summer that the growing of potatoes was a paying proposition. W. S. Stauffer of Seward township raised 425.8 bushels on an eight acre patch. Twenty boys in the Warsaw high school agricultural class planted onefourth acre plots of potatoes and most of them produced at the rate of 200 bushels to the acre. The average yield of potatoes in Kosciusko county last summer was but 67 bushels. TO RAISE ALFALFA lotted Presn Staff Correapondcnt Warsaw, Dec. 20—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Alfalfa, a comparatively new hay crop with Kosciusko county farmers, is gaining favor, and next year probably will see several hundred acres planted in the county. A total of 667 acres, twice the amount of the previous year, was harvested this year. Considerable land that was devoted to corn last year, and in perivous years, will be sown in alfalfa. use Whurto HEAL YOUR SKIN — Broken Out Skin and I itching Eczema Helped Over Night For unsightly skin eruptions, rash or blotches on face, nack, arms or body, you do Pot- have to wait for relief from torture or embarrassment, declares a uoied skit; specialist.

The teachers of the southern half of Adams county, held an institute at the school house here on Saturday. A large number of teachers were in attendance, both in the morning and evening. County Superintendent Christen also attended the institute. The lecture given by Arthur Walwyn Evans last Saturday evening was one I of the best ever heard in this-town! and was delivered in a style which was pleasing to practically everyone of the large audience. Because of, the fact that Mr. Evans was twenty j tour years a British subject, having I been raised in Wales and educated in Scotland, he was well prepared to treat his subject “What America Means to Me,” in the very best manner.

When anyone is suffering from a bronchial affliction or has a cough that lingers on and grows worse at night, the loss of sleep tends to weaken the sufferer and grows more serious the longer it is neglected.
