It's little wonder that the average fellow doesn’t find himself able to keep up with things. Senator Borah is the heaviest republican contributor to the Woodrow Wilson foundation fund, stating in his letter that differences of opinion had not blinded him to the great policies and principles of Wilson. The fund will no doubt go over big with such support as this. Have you joined the Adams County Democratic club?

south part of the county called on Mrs. Fred Heuer, the treasurer of the club,. Saturday, uud said she! wanted to be u member of the club. That’s the spirit which makes us go forward. Help do things. . -n— ■ —- It is now proposed that the bonus be paid by savings in cuts on regular appropriations, which is sure the fine way to do it if they will. They admit it could be done and this would mean a permanent saving. A few months ago when a halt-billion dollars was voted to the railroads the public didn't hear a word about how I* was to be paid but this money for the soldiers causes a rumpus which makes many feel that the nation is bankrupt. The trouble with it seems to be that a lot of fellows don't want the bonus bill passed and that’s the “nigger” more than actually raising the cash. Slang often jams a world of meaning into one word. Every salesman, every advertiser could adopt “I’ll tell the world” for his motto. And if he obeyed it he would find it wonderfully significant. Once a man adveri tises his goods in a reputable paper Ihe begins to “tell the world.” For I a time the world may appear hard lof hearing, or blind to his message, because the world has many things to distract its attention. But if he is persistent he’ll get the world to listen. This “telling the world” about goods to be sold is an unending business. Every month a number of new babies are born—which means that every month that number of people become old enough to be told what you have to tell them. Every day some people forget what they were told yesterday. That is why it pays to keep repeating the message you have for them. And your message

> President Harding passed the bonus bill back to congress yesterday with the suggestion that if it were unwilling to impose a sales tax “it ! would be wise to let the legislation 1 go over until there is a situation ! which will justify the larger outlay.’’ What congress will do about a sales' I tax remains to be seen; bnt the president recommends in effect that the one practical method of paying the bonus is to tax poverty and lower the American standard of living by . increasing its cost. That is what a ■ sales tax will mean. The govern- ■ ment cannot collect $5,090,000,00(1 by , that method without taking every penny of it out of the pockets of con- ! sumers, and the poorer the consumer, the smaller his wages, the more he will pay in proportion.—New York World. Rev. Oliver Kene has been pastor of the Methodist church at Kearney, Nebr.. for four years and in that time he has quadrupled the membership How did he do it? “By advertising,” he says, “That makes a business grow, so why shouldn’t it work with a church? I often insert a quarter page or half page ad in the hometown papers. Publicity changes the auto from an enemy to a friend of the church. When the people of the whole community know of your church and the kind of sermons you preach the car will carry them to your church instead of away from If. The expenses of advertising are met through the collection box, and the more people the advertising draws to the church, of course the larger the collection. So theads pay for them I selves in actual money. The good that is accomplished cannot be measured in dollars and cents. "Christ said, ‘Go out and compel them to come in.’ What is more compelling than advertising in the modern way? Nothing can take the place of the gospel. Not movies, nor music, nor half-baked addresses on current topics. Advertising must be backed by a good, sound, honest gospel message from the pulpit. And the man who goes once is pretty apt to return—- ■ and bring some one with him.” We ’ submit the reverend gentleman's remarks to the pastors of this neighborhood. and it they want to try a like example this paper stands ready • to meet them half way.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Yahne, who surprised friends and relatives last week when they were united in marriage, were in turn surprised by the hostesses. They were invited to the Dorwin home for dinner, not knowing that the others were to be there. When they stepped in to the hallway a chorus in the living room began to sing. "Here Comes the Bride,” and before the unsuspecting couple had recovered, several parodic s had been sung for their benefit. The dinner was greatly enjoyed by every member Os the party, and then when the big cake was cut Irwin Steele happened to have the piece containing the •ring, and he is still blushing. Princical J. D. L. Cline found the thimble, while the dime happened to be in a piece remaining on the tray. The hostesses were assisted in serving by Misses Helen Swearinger and Catherine Dorwin and Bob Helm.

Even if there were records Hiding said he would regard it incompatible with public policy to reveal them. Ho said he could reassure the senate however that there were no secret understandings of any sorts. Just before Harding’s reply was | received the foreign relation commit tee by a vote of 10 to 1 voted a favorable report on the treaty with Japan on the island of Yap and the Pacific cable rights. The president's letter was read in the senate but brought forth no discussion. Senator Hitchcock moved that the letter be referred to the committee on foreign relations. This was done without opposition. Hitchcock indlI cated that he had to leave the city today. Some other senator will ask that Secretary Hughes be asked to ( appear and give the desired informs-. tion. Hitchcock stated however that he would first confer with other sen ators before deciding where to insist on views of Hughes’ appearance. .. a—- — TO FIND BOOZE Deputy Sheriff Albert Frauhiger and Chief of Police Henry Gehrett. acting on warrants issued here Friday, searched the premises at the Lon Davis home at Ossian, and the I. Freiburger blacksmith shop at the same place, without discovering incriminating evidence in the form of liquor law violations. The searches were made following several communications from Ossian, , expressing the belief that contrabrand goods would be found at those places. The officers report that there was nothing of a suspicious nature dis- , covered at the blacksmith shop, while at the Davis place they found two cases of bottled liquid, one of which i was brought along for a test as to contents. A test showed the stuff was non-intoxicating, having insufficient alcholic contents to be classed as “white . mule” or similar goods—Bluffton News. IN MAYOR’S COURT. Joe Knofnopke, employe of the Murray hotel, was arrested Saturdayevening by Chief Reynolds on a . charge of assault and battery, the at- . lidavit being sworn to by Mamie Krick, an employe of the hotel. An immediate trial was held before Mayor DeVoss iu which Knofnopke plead guilty to the charge and was assessed a fine of $1 and costs which he paid. PUBLIC IS INVITED.
