The grim reaper pays no attention to position or wealth. Henry I’. Davison. multi-millionaire partner of J. Pierpont Morgan, died on the operating table at Newark, N. J.. Saturday afternoon when an operation was being performed to remove a tumor from the brain. Mr. Davidson was not only a successful business man but during the war had complete charge of the Red Cross, devoting his time and millions to the work of that wonderful organization for the relief of the soldier boys. That work will be the part of his Ife remembered though many will forget the exact amount of his fortune • John Tyndall in congress would as , sure this district of representation all I the time. He would stand for the! rights of the people, independently j and to your best interests. We believe the people of this district will; realize this and will elect him and we j urge the citzens of ths county to try ' sending an able, honest and fearless I man to the halls of congress. If he ; makes good as we know he will it is your advantage but if he doesn't you are surely no worse off than now for Mr. Vestal, personally a very excellent' man, has done but little for his district or his state. Think it over seri- ■ ously for the way to secure good service is to employ the very best man ' you can find. The democrats of Adams county are proud to present to the voters of the eighth district such' a man as John Tyndall. I,

John . Patterson, famous the world over as the founder of the National Cash Register plant at Dayton, Ohio, , one of the originators in this country of a square deal to employes und who ! has taken a big part in the work of putting his home city on the map. died very suddenly aboard u train in New i Jersey yesterday, while enroute to AtJ lantlo CSty. He had suffered from 1 chronic heart trouble for some time ! and was going to the eastern resort 1 to take treatment. He was seventy- . seven years old, a man of great ability and -his life was filled with busy es- , forts to help the world and his fellow men. The big fight now on for control of the republican organization in Indiana is attracting much attention and will probably be to a finish. Senator New favors the election of Wasmuth, present chairman while the Watson-Mc-Cray men are for Lawrence Lyons, highway commission chairman. The affair is complicated and is not exactly a New-Beveridge scrap. In fact it is said to be under cover a contest "between Jim Goodrich and Jim Watson and is the advance test for position in two years from now. In nearly every county the fight for chairmanship was an earnest one and both sides are today claiming a victory. Go ahead boys and fix it up for Ralston. The Portland Republican is not afraid to say things and they do it often over protests of the republican leaders of Jay county. The paper was the orginal Beveridge booster in Indiana and the county voted for him. Now- it seems the New men want to put over the district chairman and that makes the Republican speak up in a two column first page editorial in which is the following paragraph: — If Lawrence Cartwright is elected as district chairman on Tuesday, and this l is done because Mr. Vestal wants him or is done whether or not Mr. > Vestal wants him. it can be truthfully said that Mr. Vestal stands to lose 15,000 or more votes in the Eighth district at the November election and the .Jay County Republican ticket stands to lose 500 votes. This may mean the defeat of Mr. Vestal, and it most assuredly might defeat every Republican on the ticket in this county. , J. W. McCardle, chairman of the 'public sen ice commission writes us , their attention has been called to re- ' cent editorials appearing in this paper , and that they are sure we do net understand the matter. We confess we

The books were checked up in full, less than two years ago and the report of the engineers accepted and approved by the commission. We see no reason for an audit at this time, dating back twentyseven years unless it is as has been stated to furnish a job for the two men. The letter says that if the present rates are continued it will not cost the tax payers here anything but if the rates are shown to be insufficient or excessive than we pay the cost. If the costs are charged to the state then we pay our share and what is true here is true all over the state, so we must be paying this ratio all the time. Further proof that the commission as now operated is an expensice joke. MOW NEWS About of the members of the Epworth League of the Methodist church headed by Rev. and Mrs. Zechiel, left here Friday afternoon to attend a meeting at Fort Wayne. They drove through in five touring cars. Miss Beer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Beer, living west of town, who underwent an operation at the Bluffton hospital about two weeks ago, was brought home Thursday afternoon feeling fine and greatly improved in health. Mother's Day services will be held at the Methodist church next Sunday. Miss Rena Noffsinger, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Daniel Noffsinger, living one-half mile south of town, who /or the past few years has been suffering with a complication of diseases and been confined to her bed most of the time, is reported as rapidly improving and is again able to walk about the house and yard, will be good news to her many friends to hear of her rapid progress in regaining her health. John Soldner, the assessor, was in town several days this week to find out how much you are worth. Much rejoicing was evident here Thursday when it was learned that Hon. J. W. Tyndall of Decatur, was nominated as the Democratic candidate for congress, receiving the majority of the votes of the eighth district. The result is perfectly satisfactory and on the final home stretch we hope to send Mr. Tyndall to serve us as a member of congress, of this district. The voters and staunch friends extend congratulations to John and bespeak for him a big majority. Mr. Tyndall will visit us later on when we can “talk it over" as to how it happened. Mr. Tyndall is well qualified, hence his selection as a candidate of so responsible position without much effort on his part. Ergar Reinking returned to his work in Fort Wayne this morning after spending Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Reinking. Don’t Neglect Kidney Troubles! Dropsy, Diabetes and Apoplexy Most Dreaded Diseases Neglect of any derangements of the kidneys is dangerous in the extreme.

By William M. Sweets. United l*re*>M Mnff CurreHpoinlent A man with a dual personality, who has asked the London courts to untangle his life. Professing that the strange situation was worrying him to death and that he couldn't stand the strain any longer, the man, whose name (or names) was withheld by the magistrate, asked the court's advice after telling his remarkable story. The man stated he was married in 1911 while an instructor in the Army. Later he was reduced to the ranks for a trivial offense, and feeling his position very keenly, deserted and joined another regiment in a different name. In order that his wife might get his allowance, he re-married her under his new name. He was ordered to France with in a few weeks and was there wounded, losing the use of his left arm. He is now, he said, receiving a pension in his assumed name, and also employed in that name at the pension’s office. He showed the courts his two marriage licenses for his own wife. The magistrate expressed great sympathy for the man and suggested that file only possible course was to continue his life tinder the name he had adopted. “You are a deserter, you have made a false declaration to the registrar of marriages, and you are getting a pension in a false name. I don't see how I can help you,” he declared. PURDUE RADIO STATION TO BROADCAST WOMEN VOTERS MEETING. State Headquarters, Elkhart, Ind.
