THE BIG SHOW IS IN INDIANA: — After looking over the whole field, it is the ready conclusion that the lot for the big show of spring politics is going to be staked out right here in Indiana. The primary contest between Senator New and for mer Senator Beveridge will be the three ring circus. Despite anything that may be said, this combat cannot escape definite character and signifi cance as a test of the administration in Washington Senator New is about to stake himself on his record, on his position as one of the i hies supports of the administration, in his personal inti macy with the president, on his de votion to what the president has done, on his loyalty to any program no far disclosed and to any purpose as yet uurevealed that may come from the white house or from the ad ministration leadership in congress. He puts himself for.lh frankly as the admnistration candidate. On that he stands, to that he will up peal. Mr. Beveridge cannot stand on the same ground with Senator New. hoping to make the contest impinge on personal issues. lie must be something and be for something to such degree that it will constitute a cause, definite, palpable, .conclusive. Just what that something is to be must wait for revelation upon Mr. Beveridge’s own utterances when lie opens his campaign. If it be that he means only to mark his candidacy from that of Senator New by a line denoting that merely he is a different man. Mr. Beveridge is likely to fare neither far nor prosperously. Senator New is going into the con test with advantages that are distinct. He will have the organizations of his party, state and federal. He w ill be buttressed by all (he mor al supports, advanced by all the political impulses that the Washington administration can give him. This is not to be denied, not to be escaped He is the administration candidate by every argument of his record, by every token of his position and association in Washington ami at home. A Beveridge victory in the primaries will be a sad augury for the Washington administration as it approaches the finals in November. That no effort will be untried, no recourse untested, no influence unexhausted cannot be doubted. Indiana, between March and May, is going to witness the really big show of spring politics. Doubt it not.—Eort Wayne Evening Press. ___ The hundreds of friends of Miss Tonnelier of this city who was yes terday awarded a beautiful bungalow for writing the best essay On “Why I should own my own home in New I Smyrna. are proud of her. indeed. She has brought fame to her home city as well as to herself, for to have thus distinguished herself among many thousands of the best writers in the entire country is an achievement worth while. | "k ou will all agree after reading her I splendid, well written story that sheilas earned the prize. We regret that we could not have attended the presentation ceremony held yesterday but we are sure of her happiness and of the pleasure she will derive in the years to come from her comfortable southern home. We congratulate Miss Tonnelier. and we know that this "we” means every *

r one in Adams county. The tax meetings to be held here tomorrow will be important and perbaps quite interesting, tor upon the ~ results of the instructions given will J depend largely the basis of valuation to he used here. However, us Mr. Todd Is to give Ills, instructions iu s the morning while the public meet--9 ing will be held iu the afternoon, 11 with Mr. Brown as the speaker, it I j would appear that their minds are 5 well made up. • *■ ■ TT I The president hopes for a billion ' dollars from Great Britain by July Ist but the hope is not strong enough or the promise sure enough that he 1 will advise appropriating against that draw and that's wise for we have long ago discovered that money due this country from foreign nations is not assured until we have it in the treasury. Wonder what they would think of us if wo thus neglected financial obligations? Those who are using the advertising columns now days say they are getting better returns than ever before so that the merchant who it simply sitting around worrying over poor business is overlooking an opportunity to dispose of bis goods. Indiana polities will break loose next week when New and Beveridge will open up with their big guns and many other candidates will start hoir campaign. ■ ■ 8 "MECCA" All Records for Stage Extravagance Surpassed in "Mecca,” Colossal Spectacle Coming to the Majestic Theater on Sunday Night, Feb. 26th. One of the season's most interest ing theatrical events is scheduled for the Majestic theater for three nightt beginning Sunday, Feb. 26, when F Kay Comstock and Morris Gest will send to Fort Wayne the titanic stage spectacle, 'Mecca'' which had such sensational runs last season at the Century theater. New York, ami the Auditorium. Chicago, ami which is low the reigning sensation of Lon don. where, at His Majesty's theater the house is completely sold out months ahead. Once each year Messrs. Comstock & Gest offer a mammoth production: once each year the statement is made that the new spectacle will be bigger and grander than its predecessors; once each year a small fortune is invested in preparing these gigantic entertainments for stage presentation; and once each year the critics almost exhaust the dictionary iu de scribing the new production. “Mecca" is a gorgeous extravaganza of the Orient, by Oscar Asche, the celebrated creator of “Chu Chin Chow." with music by Percy E. Fletcher of His Majesty's theater. London. It was originally to have been produced first in the English capitol, but owing to the continued success there of "Chu,' 1 which just recently concluded a five years’ continuous run. “Mecca," first saw the light of day at the Century theater. New York. Its scenes take place in Cairo. Egypt, and Arabia, a thousand years ago. As may be inferred from the title, the story has to do with a pilgrimage to Holy Mecca, the city to which all true followers of Mahomet must make a pilgrimage once in a life-time to purge themselves of their sins. This pilgrimage, however, is but the background of a story rich in romance, full of dramatic action, with tuneful musical numbers, gorgeous series of stage pictures and a ballet which has been devised by the ificomparable Fokine, famous creator of the Russian ballet.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Our tJneeen Defendere YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —What Faith la live Unaeen CMn Do for 1. Th* Syrian King Sorely Troubled (vv. 8-12). 1. The King's plan. (v. 8). His method was a kind of guerrilla warfare —armed bands made incursions into the enemy’s territory. He determined as to where camps should be loctfteJ so as to intercept Israel’s army. His plan was clever, but bls great mistake was that he left God out of his calculations. There te one place where all plans and movements are known (Heb. 4:13), 2. The enemy’s movements disclosed (v. 9). The man at God, knowing the enemy’s movements, was able to tell the king about them. Elisha’s advice was more than a match for the wily plana ot the shrewd Benhadad. Israel’s safety lay more in the tnan of God than in their warriors. 3. The king of Israel heeded Elisha's word (v. 10). This was true wisdom. By obeying the prophet’s words he saved himself and army many times. Those who are truly wise heed the di- 1 vine warnings. 4. The Syrian king’s perplexity j (vr. 11, 12). In his perplexity he assembled his servants and demanded that the traitor be made known. He believed that some were playing into' the hands of the enemy; therefore he would put an end to the treachery. This was denied, and one of his ser-1 vants declared that the king's movements were reported by Elisha the prophet, even telling to the king of Israel what Ben-badad spake in his bedchamber. Ben-hadad was worried not because of his sins, but because 1 bls plans miscarried. 11. The Syrian King Tries to Trap| Elisha (vv. 13-18). 1. He sent an army to capture him (w. 13, 14). Upon learning that Elisha was making known his actions, he determined to put an end to the matter by trapping him and making him a prisoner. How foolish to put human cunning against divine wisdom. Horses and chariots are useless when God is against us. God’s purposes cannot be thwarted. If God be for us, who can be against us? 2. Elisha’s servant frightened, (v. 15). When he awoke one morning be saw that an armed host was encamping about the city. Viewed from the human standpoint, we do not wonder that he was affrighted. 3. Elisha's encouragement (v. 16). He assured his servant that, though they were surrounded by the Syrian army, there was a mightier host of heavenly defenders round abont them. Elisha did not shut hie eyes to the real danger, but looked to the helpers of God watching about them. 4. Elisha’s prayer (v. 17). He asked that the Lord would open the eyes of his servant so as to see spiritual things. When the Lord opened the eyes of the young man he saw that “the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about EUsha.’’ Round about us all the while are angels guarding us from danger. 5. The Syrians smitten with blindness (v. 18). The same God who opened the eyes of the young man, blinded the eyes of the Syrians. God deals with men according to their moral attitude. When men will not have the light, God sends darkness-, 111. The Syrian Army Trapped (w. 19-23). The would-be trappers are now trapped, 1. Army led by the man sought by them (vv. 19, 20). Elisha led them to Samaria and asked the Lord to open their eyes. When their eyes wre open they saw the man whom they sought, but not at the place where they sought him. Instead of seeing him at Dothan as they expected, they saw him In Samaria. 2. The generous treatment of the Syrians (vv. 21-23). The king of Israel wanted to smite the captives, but Ellsfia forbade him and ordered instead that they should be fed and sent back to their master. 3. Peace between the nations (v. 23). The mercy shown to the Syrians had such a profound effect upon them that they came no more to make war upon Israel. What a fine thing If we could have such humanity shown today 1 Give Thanks to God. Sleep should be light, so that we may cttstly awake; for we ought to rise frequently In the night, In order to give thanks to God. . . • We who have the word, thd watchman, duelling in us. must not sleep thrqugb the night.—gt.

If the adjusted compensation bill ; passes and halt the veterans accept , the cash bonus while half take the insurance certificates, the cost to each 1 citizen of the United States would be ; about 33..00 if taxation were equally distributed. I ■ The payments cover a period of 20 years, hence the average cost at the I outside, wold be $1.50 per year to the citizen, if every veteran accept the i cash bonus the cost would lie less ' than half as much. ) if a sinking fund, accumulating interest, is provided to meet the later payments, the cost will be greatly reduced. Since the certificates would fall due in 1924, the cost for the in ' tervening 19 years would total only one-third of the.whole, with the other two-thirds payable in the final year. Thus the cost to each citizen for the next 19 years would be, at the outside, 50 cents per year. The big final payments would, of course, either lie provided by sinking fund or otherwise funded over a rather in i teresting period of years. It is rather interesting to realize that the average pro-ratio cost to all .Americans of this adjusted compen sation bill will be something like 50 | cents a year, of course it is not true I that every citizen pays the average ■ share of taxes, a few pay more and a majority pay less.

Jetting a few boosters do all the work. If you will wake uy, pep up, talk up, Adams Post No. 43 will loom up. I By tlie way did you know that the largest Chamber of Commerce in the . United States endorsed the adjusted compensation bill. By a large ma pority, the 9000 members of the Los I Angeles body, went on record in favor of tlie bonus bill, after this* bill had been thoroughly explained by 'American Legion members. I Down in Stamford, Texas, the west Texas Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn it smembership in the I national organization, because its members did not think it was the ;business of tlie United States Cham ! ber of Congress to pass on the com- ' pensation bill. . The Omaha. Neb.’ Chamber of con gross endorsed the compensation bill after an explanation ot the bill had been made by members of Douglas | Co. Post American Legion.
