What next? The milk campaign will be a success as you make it so. It's a campaign in which every citizen should show some interest and give some help. The committees have arranged the .schedule and the program and will do everything in their power to make the two weeks a success, both ; as to education and interest. The rest is up to you. The bonus bill will not be passed at this time, it being estimated that it would require two billions in cash and those in authority insist that the only way to do this is by a sales tax. Few people favor additional taxes and therefore the bill will not be passed. Objection to the present hill is made that the certificates would again tie up the banking machinery and the final outcome bring another depression, all of which will not assist the man who offered his life for his country and feels he should be given some assistance now. Every so often we read of the newspaper editor who starts out to tell the truth, and we note that he doesn't last long. Not that we want to dist*ourag< truthfulness; on the other hand we merely want to say that you can tell the truth anywhere else but in thnewspaper.'The latest example comes from southern Kansas, when an editor wrote the following about a wedding in his town: "Married, Miss Sylvie Rhode to Mr. Hames Canahan, lastj Sunday evening at the Baptist church ' The bride is an ordinary town-girl, who doesn't know any more about cooking than a rabbit knows about making so da water syrup, and who never helped her mother three days in her cntir< ' life. She is not beautiful by any means, and has a gait like a duck. The groom has been a shiftless sort of a fellow and a confirmed loafer, having lived off the old folks all bis life They are going to have a hard life while they live together.” He told the truth, that editor. But he had to catch the first train out of town. There is one thing we've got to givej the women credit so do not i very often make public comment or |

P men’s clothes and the way men groom themselves. They have their preferences as to boards, and whether a mus1. tache is or ia not becoming. But they p arc not leading any crusades against ► the length of men’s trousers nor kickr ing it the male of the species wants to go around with his shirt open at the neckband. Much criticised and corn--9 mented on herself, woman holds her ’ peace insofar as the personal attire I ot men is concerned. Is this because ) she realizes that to refrain from mak- > Ing public comment or taking organJ ized action on personal matters is a I little courtesy that oils the wheels of . daily living, and that it would be liettor for all if the courtesy were returned. The clothing of women and girls—or the lack of it—is the topic for much criticism on the part of the male sex. But we must admit, and give credit accordingly, that on the other hand the average woman shows better judgment in that she lets man wear what he want to, while she goes right ahead attending to her own business. The Adams County Witness rambles around over a column of space trying to establish something terribly wrong with the investigation conducted here by the representative of the state board of control last Monday, losing track of the fact that the charges i made against Decatur really reflected on the board and that they were mak ing the investigation more for themselves than for these evidently just hunting trouble. The investigation was hold on request of the school authorities here who also wished to know if there was anything wrong and w-ho of course therefore had the right to hear the testimony. The Witness also makes the dreadful (?) charge that Mr. Allman, superintendent of the Angola schools, and Mr. Humke. principal of the North Manchester schools took dinner together at the Murray after the hearing. The men are good friends and engaed in the same business and neither has yet been proven such a criminal as to prevent them continuing so. The ugly part of this affair is that two or three newspapers seem determined to make some scandal out of it whether there is one or not. It's certainly time to cut the baby stuff. There can be no benefit or reason in continuing a fight against Decatur schools. BOXING BOUT AT GERKE SCHOOL A boxing match which is open foi every one will be staged at the Gerke 1 ' iiooi house in Root townsh'n Thursday evening. The athletic committee in charge of the affair has purchased new gloves and are putting on ar. ' athletic carnival every Thursday evening. So far no entries have beenmade for Thursday evening but ilie contest is open to all and any one desiring to enter is urged to send ' in their name to the Gerke schcoi. If possible Bucher of Hoot township, and Diehl of this city, will wrestle. ..., . —a WISHES HE HAD KNOW IT SOONER ”1 only wish I had discovered Foley's Honey and Tar lit years ago as 1 have been the victim of attacks of influenza and bad colds until 1 found this wonderful relief.” writes W.

Why Do So Many Men Smoke White Stag Cigars Business influences all of us. Everything we do shows the effects of habits formed in business hours. Take for example, The Selection of a Smoke. It’s an interesting fact that men who are required to exact from every dollar spent, one hundred cents of value Smoke “White Stag” Cigars. They never paw over the contents of the cigar case, its “WHITE STAGS” or nothing. WHAT’S THE ANSWER? Simply that these men know that WHITE STAGS are the best cigar that their money can buy. We know-that smokers’ tastes differ and that’s why there are different sizes of White Stag cigars. Each different size exemplifies the White Stag Quality. White Stage cigars are today being made from the finest domestic Pennsylvania havana seed filler of the famous 1916 crop that has been carefully handled and resweated under our special process of “petunifig” (practically the same method used in , preparing Imported {iavana on the isle of Cuba) sprigged with imported Havana of the famous Abajo district covered with Con havana seed binder (worked single to insure perfect combustion) wrapped with Imported fava in most sizes and Con.
