The milk campaign in Adams county should be a real one for the results are sure to benefit the health and prosperity of the county. Join the movement and you will enjoy it and be pleased with the outcome. The campaign for the renewal of subscriptios to the Daily Democrat has been one of the most successful ever conducted and the majority of our big family have loyally and cheerfully “paid up.” We appreciate the splendid co-operation thus given and assure you all, that we wil do everything in our power to make you feel that the money has been well spent. We want to provide for you the news and the market reports you want and if k we do not do it, want you to tell us'so. Indications for a snappy campaign in Indiana continue very bright and preliminary organizations are now being formed to boost certain candidates in the state. Before long you will be hearing the virtues of these men and a discussion of the principles for which they stand. No difference what your opinion you will have an opportunity to select just what you want. Indiana without politics would after all be a dreary old place. The closing of the the Liby. McNeal & Liby condensory at Berne is a severe blow to the farmers and business men of the county and is regretable. Nearly three hundred farmers who have supplied the big plant with milk will suffer a considerable decrease in their cash receipts at a time when every penny of revenue is needed. However, it is probable that the milk can be taken by the creameries and other users and it is hoped that the loss will not be as keen as now seems probable. These are snappy days and ought to iiil every fellow with the pep and steam necessary to make things move. After all it’s all up to you. Times may not be as good as they were once or twice in your life, but that should not prevent you going ahead. The grumbler, the pessimist, the loafer, the

You know some one will make money the next year and many will build tho foundation for future success. Why not be one of them? It depends on how hard you work and how much you think and try. Doubtless, In the course of time, the public highway commission will let the public in on the little secret of what price the cement manufacturers are willing to tnk . for the cement the state wishes to buy from them. When it does, the taxpayers, whom the commission is supposed to represent, will be able to get some kind of a definite idea of whether they want cement concrete roads constructed in Indiana this year. Just now tiiey are in the darkness —the same darkness that the commission seems to feel is essential to the protection of the bids submitted several days ago. The highway - commission is today the only public body that insists on transacting public business in secrecy. There is. of . course, no good reason why it should prefer secrecy to candor, but it does. Already there has been created more distrust of the affairs of the highway commission than the affairs of any other branch of our government. This distrust the highway commissioners are increasing every day that they fail ( to make public facts in which the taxpayers are interested and facts which they should have. Will some one i kindly explain what particular foolish I ness compels highway commissioners . to open bids on public work only in . the secrecy of their chambers?—The . Indiana Times.

_U_. HJIBI m-I - FORD RETAIL SALES GO OVER A MILLION Show Increase of 105,000 Cars and Trucks Over Previous Year Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors have again exceeded the million mark for the year 1921, according to a statement given out today by the Ford Motor company. The Ford factory and assembly plant production figures reached a total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and tractors for the year, with retail sales by dealers approximating 1,093,000, which in the United States alone surpassed the 1920 retail sales record by 104.213 Ford cars and trucks. The Ford company srfys the outlook for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In fact, concrete evidences already exist in that car and truck retail sales for; December 1921, exceeded December 192 Osales by almost 25 per cent, and Fordson tractor retail Sales for the same periods show au increase of over 100 per cent for December 1921, as well as an increase over the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that not only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public is becoming more responsive and receptive. Another point brought out by a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford enclosed cars are gaining in popularity. as 23 percent of the 1921 production were Sedans and Coupes as against a total of 18 per cent for the year previous. Recent reductions in Ford car and truck prices brought them to a new low level. The touring car now sells for $348, the runabout for $319, the coupe for SSBO, the sedan for $645, the chassis, for $285 and the truck for $430, all F. 0.8. Detroit. This is the fourth price cut in the past sixteen months. During that time the price of the touring car alone has been cut from $575 to $348, a reduction of 40 per cent. Reductions on some of the other types have been even greater. The Ford company believes that this reduction, while not a large one, is especially important at this time as it should go a long way toward stabilizing market conditions. Ford is giving employment at present to approximately 40.000 men in his main plant at Detroit, the importance of which is emphasized when consideration is given to the fact that nearly 20 per cent of the city's population is directly dependent upon the Ford Motor company. —«- There wil be initiation at the Rebecca lodge on Tuesday evening.

tell you this story Al I by Mrs. Mary Preston Cooking Expert and Food Analyst I explained to the sales-manager of The Heekin Company that I didn’t know the first thing about writing advertisements. But he said, ‘‘Just nass your enthusiasm along to the women of America; and I’ll be satisfied.” , . The object of my enthusiasm is Heekin s Baking Powder. But let me tell you the story ft cm the beginning. I was asked to try out Heekin’s and make a report on the results obtained. For my own satisfaction, I first made an analysis of it. Its. purity created a strong impression—l really believe that no purer baking powder can be made. (No foreign ingredients are added to create an unnatural effervescence or to give a false impression of quality.) I next baked with it and asked several of my assistants to do likewise. We never baked finer, lighter biscuits or more delicious cakes. There wasn’t one failure where Heekin’s was used. The excellent results showed me why Heekin s is the favorite baking powder of thousands of women. I reported most glowingly. “But,” I said, “surely such an exceptional baking powder must sell for a very high price.” Imagine my surprise when I learned that Heekin’s sells for much less than any other baking powder that even approaches it in quality—that The Heekin Company, by taking a small profit themselves, has maintained this low price for years. Mr. Heekin said, “I wish we could make all American women as enthusiastic about our product as Mrs. Preston. The sales-manager replied, “Why not let her tell her story in her own way in a series of advertisements?” And I agreed. 1 know that any woman can achieve excellent results with Heekin’s. The Heekin Company also feels so sure of this that they offer to refund the price of the baking powder, and the price of the ingredients in anything you bake—using Heekin’s—if it doesn’t turn out to your entire satisfaction. There is no red tape to this offer. Simply list the ingredients and the prices of them together with the price of the baking powder and send to The Heekin Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, with your name and address. Buy a can today at your grocer's and try it. You’ll like Heekin’s. '’' ' - mil hl 111111111 y-j| I di, Opportunity Knocks But Once at Your Door Are you ready to grasp this opportunity?
