If Indianapolis wants the Yeomen home, all the more reason why we should stage a real demonstration here about July 20th if the officers and directors will visit us. Lenine is dying and we have been unable to find out whether that will increase or decrease the value of Russiou rubles with which this country is now flooded. Vacation time is nearly here but figuring out where and how to take one without being sent to jail for overdrawing the bank account is the puzzle a good many have been unable to figure. Nothing helps make a city as beautiful as well kept lawns, clean streets a few small parks and good looking business tronts. We can have them all if we try a little and its worth the effort.

Yeomen day and the big fair will help to keep the people of this community entertained during the next few weeks and by the time these are over it will be nearly time to think about school and the other activities of tlfe early autumn. Time dfies fly. According to press reports the United States senate is suffering from the heat. The public will agree they are getting nothing that isn’t coming to them and most people will insist on the heat being turned on a little stronger. There ought to be some way to thaw them out.

1 Indlunapolln seems to have come up tor air again on the Yeomen home and are claiming now that the fight is between Indianapolis und Decatur. • From reports here tliwre is but little * grounds for their optimism but evidently there is some thing doing and a little investigutiou won't do any harm. 1 State Chairman Walter Chambers ( has called u meeting of the demoI crtitic county chairmen, men and woi men, of the eighth district, to be held 1 in Muncie. Tuesday afternoon. EviJ dently he is not going to wait for September to start his organization and that’s where he is showing wisdom. Now is the time to make plans and Chambers who is a veteran In the business, knows it. The United States senate recently discussed for an entire day the re- ' port from England that Colonel Harvey, the American ambassador had decided to give up his satin knickers and go back to common American pants. The debate centered upon the shape of his legs and as a vaudeville performance was unique. Honstly don't it make you sick though to think of the greatest law making body in the world thus wasting time when we are passing through a crisis? Business is better than a few weeks ago but there are many who feel that there is no particular reason for the fact and it may be just as well and a lot safer if you don’t go wild on investments and improvements. The foreign market has not improved and there is a possibility of the increase being due to the fact that we have all been careful as long as we can. The coal strike and the railroad strike are still to be settled before we can breath easy and there ought to be a real freight reduction and some other things to make the improvement healthy. Hoover, the great business secretary of commerce, has decided that the poor coal operators are not receiving enough money for their product and has authorized an increase of $1.75 per ton at the mine. Evidently the real purpose of forcing the strike is coming forth and assisted by Hoover will be put over at the expense of the middle class of people. Some method of reconstruction, is it not? Senators Walsh and Borah are

making public the facts and they will be interesting, though we don’t expect them to make good on their threats to indict the operators. The railroads announce another cut in wages of the men. They arc certainly experts at this and yet they say that last week’s freight business following a ten per cent reduction in rates was within a few thousand dollars of equalling the record week of all history. If these railway kings would let the country do It we would soon be going on high but they want to increase the business and profits and at the same time reduce wages to a place where the men can’t afford to do it. The engineers take the position and with much argument in their favor that with the increased business to handle, the railway men ought to have better wages instead of less. ’Aint normalcy a funny thing? VOTERS' REGISTRATION DATES WILL BE SEPTEMBER 9TH AND OCTOBER 29TH Indianapolis, Ind., June 12. —Voters' registration dates will be September 9 and October 29, throughout Indiana, it was pointed out today by George Healey., of the state board of election commissioners, who said the new law had confused many persons, including some county officials. z The roll of voters to be shown by this year's two registrations will become permanent. Mr. Healey explained, adding that in the future only one registration, to be held in early October. is contemplated to enroll new voters or those moving in a new voting district. Two registrations, however, are possible, he said, citing a provision of the law enacted by the last legislature that permits the holding of both the September and October registrations on the petition of 300 voters. Many inquiries, Mr. Healey said had come to his office as to the new law.

Guaranteed by tCa*<DEMOCRATS ADOPT NEW CAMPAIGN PLAN Organization Will Be Managed and Financed in Strictly Democratic Way. The Democratic campaign in Indiana will be managed and financed this year in a strictly democratic manner. In this plan the women are given full and equal representation with the men- Every precinct has a committeewoman. Besides this there is a committee of ten—five men and five women, besides which there is a secretary and treasurer of the precinct committee, making a total of fourteen voters in each precinct who will direct the campaign. The financial campaign will be on a plan used in other states for several years with signal success. It is what the churches call an .‘every-member campaign.’’ On June 15, 16 and 17 a complete canvas will be made of every precinct in Indiana and every voter asked to make a small monthly payment for the expenses of the campaign. These payments run from 50 cents per month on up and are for five months. The first payment is due on June 15 and other payments on the 15th of each succeeding month, excepting that the last is due on October 1. Being a party of the people, the Democratic party expects the voters to both manage and finance the organization. It has no special interests to draw on. nor has it any state and federal officers to assess. Its funds must come in small amounts from the taxpayers of Indiana who want lower taxes and are willing to contribute a small sum to get them. The plan has already been successfuly worked in one county in Indiana and farmers, merchants and mechanics readily responded. Fellow Craft's Degree, 7:30. L. L. BAUMGARTNER, W. M.

TO MAKE THIRD PAY GOT SOON United States Railway Labor Board to Announce Big Cut This Week (tufted Press Service.! Chicago, June 12.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The third $50,000,000 cut in the pay of railroad workers will be announced by the United States Railroad labor board this week, according to information today. Clerks, signal men, truckers and freight handlers are to be affected by the latest ruling of the board. It was forecast that the cut will be about five cents an hour. Employes hit by the recent wage reduction of the board were taking a strike vote today. It was forecast by union heads that 95 per cent of employs would vote to walk out in protest against the slashes ordered by the board. r EXPERT AT TOEWORK DESPITE 92 YEARS (l uited Press Service.) Saranac Lake, N, Y.—Despite his four score and twelve years William J. Fisher of the Adirondack hamlet of Whallonburg can still shake a wicked hoof. In fact he is a curly wolf when it comes to flapping his Cinderellas. At a recent birthday party given in honor of his ninety-second birthday he took and held the center of the stage by proceeding to show the rising generation how to "ho it down" in the old fashioned square dances that were a riot back in the days before the Civil War when he used to be “out with the boys.” j • " •: ? ' ; The fact that he has nearly reached the century mark has not slowed him up in the least and he positively refuses to take a seat in the rear for any of the present day tango lizards. Miss Helen Andrews who was operated on last week for appendicitis is improving rapidly according to Dr. Rayl, the physician in charge.

CORN CONTEST IS UNDER WAV ■ ■ Five Acre Contest is Being Carried On in Nearly Every County The five acre corn contest, which is being carried out by the Indiana Corn Growers Association in cooperation with the county agents of Indiana, is progressing very nicely according to information received this morning from R. S. Thomas, of Purdue, who is in charge of the work. Practically every county Is carrying on the work, especially those in the northern part of the state. Adams County ranks fairly well with other counties of the state in point of number of memberships which have been received to date. Thirty-one farmers have sent in their memberships in order to be eligible for the 5acre contest and it Is expected that some more will be received before the time for taking nnnbership eloss. In order to be entered in the 5-acre corn contest in Adams County it is necessary that the contestant take out membership before June 15th? This is taken care of through the county agent’s office.

HENSLEY tues&wed Exaulted Ruler MARK TWAIN FILM FOR THE CRYSTAL THEATER As a special attraction, the Crystal theater will show tomorrow and Wednesday the big, new William Fox film version of Mark Twain’s funniest bock, “A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court.” As readers of Mark -Twain will realize, this book offers wonderful scope to a motion picture director, and it is surprsing that no producer until now has undertaken to put it on the screen. The Fox production is on a huge scale, bringing out the full force of all the situations invented by Mark Twain's fertile imagination, and translating for the eye all the splendor of medieval court life that Twain had described in words. It aroused the greatest enthusiasm at a pre-release run in Los Angeles. “A Connecticut Yankee” is more than funny; it conveys an argument of striking force. It sets out to prove the thesis that we ai as good as our great-greatgrandfathers. It is the fashion nowadays to talk of the “good old times"; Mark Twain shows us just what the “good old times” really were like. “A Connecticut Yankee” is an imaginative masterpiece. It puts a modern, shrewd, up-to-date young American against a background of medieval chivalry, and the humor is the result of the sharp contrast.

Woman Facing Certain Death from Nervous Disorder Discovers Remedy in Time

Nervous disorders are on the increase. Men and women compelled to go out into the world to battle for a living quite often neglect their health to such an extent that a breakdown is the inevitable result. Such neglect is criminal. In many instances it leads to fatal consequences. When , you have moody spells, feel depressed, begin to have distaste for business or social duties, when you cannot sleep at night—these are sure signs of nervous ailments and should be checked.
