FARMERS’ WIVES: — A magazine called the Farmer’s Wife has been asking farm women whether they would like their daughters to follow their example and marry farmers. It may surprise people who think pityingly of farm life to learn that all but 6 per cent of the women replying say yes. The reason Is shown convincingly in a letter from a farmer’s wife In Connecticut, in which she says: ‘‘Our government is awaking to the fact that the farmer is to be reckoned with in ,our national politics. Our home demonstration agents are showing us farm women how to make becoming and inexpensive clothing; the automobile is making it possible to do uud see many interesting things—and get home for chores. On many a loDely farm, our club workers are touching the lives of boys and girls, inspiring them with a keen interest in their work and surroundngs. "Last but not least, the farmer is aroused as he never has been and is speaking for himself .When lie shall have spoken wisely enough, I hope the great lack in the life of our farm woman today—ready money—will be filled and she will have machinery to relieve the drudgery of her work and opportunity to enjoy some of the niceties of life. It is her due. To such a life I would gladly give my daughter. “I love the country, take a keen interest in farmer folk; admire their sincerity, quick sympathies and sane and clean thinking. I find true enjoyment in the changing seasons; the spot where the children find the first hepatica; the bird songs; the beautiful colorings of the skies, the refreshing spring water; Eventually Why Not Now?” Some day you will be a “White Stag” Smoker, because its the best • smoke in the world, But why . wait longer? Put White Stag Cigars to the taste test M today and ' your tongue will tell you why J so many, many men stick to this brand. Stick % ' to the ' “White Stag” and you’ll, never get Stuck.

the feeling of nearness to the Creator of all things good and beautiful. "Because of this and because I am an American patriot, 1 should like to puss this legacy on to my daughter's children.” Could there be any better legacy than that? i j Daugherty In his effort to take public attention from scandals affecting his administration of the department of Justice, gives it out that some fish plrutes are trying to steal all the fish in Alaskan waters. That would be a nice scheme, if it would work. Juot at thlß Juncture, however, Mr. Sutherland, republican delegate in congress from Alaska bluntly announces that the whole thing is a lie. Mr. Daugherty should first have made sure of Mr. Sutherland’s sympathetic cooperation.—Hartford City News. A frank and friendly letter from President Frink of the Yeomen lodge assures us that there is absolutely nothing to the Indianapolis rumor and that Decatur is being given the most favorable consideration. It will be impossible for him to attend a meeting here in July and he suggests that the proposed celebration be held in August. The question as to the date will be taken up by the local committee tonight and then every one should assist in making the event a regular "whopper.” If you read the papers you will get all mixed up for nearly every day you will find headlines announcing pay cuts for the railroad worker*. We confess we can't keep up with them. If these cuts as announced are all made the men will soon be working for about two bits a day. By the way what about that stingy little freight cut that was announced for July lt3? Its funny but we hear nothing more about it. Normalcy thou art a huge joke. Evidently the railroad owners are trying to force a strike among the men who do the work or to make the union non-effective. They will if permitted by the men make conditions such that they can run "open shops” but they have a real fight ahead and the country may be thrown into n strike that will disrupt things for several years. Its serious. The prohibition leader, Mr. Vise, general counsel j'andi iMr. Wheeler, chief administrator declare that its perfectly lawful for American ships to sell liquor if three miles out at sea. Its puzzling how some of tne decisions are made but we presume its alright. ADAMS COUNTY PIONEER DEAD (Continued from page one) they being Ramsorn Smith of Frankfort, Ind.; Clinton Smith of Mantin, Mich.; Harley Smith of Chattanooga, O.; Mrs. Nellie Ray cf Ridgeville and Mrs. Roxie Lhamon of Fort Wayne. There also remain twenty-six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren a large number of friends. Five children have preceded him in death. Separate Peace Sought in Miners and Rail Men (Continued from page one) two great labor organizations had stirred labor circles as nothing else that has occurred since the convention of the American Federation of Labor met here on Monday. The possibilities are “vast and far reaching" a federation leader said today. Federation officials will closely follow the conference. The possibility that the mine workers and rail workers might run foul of the federal courts on the charge of conspiracy to set at naught a federal law was being discussed in American federation of labor circles. The rail unions are frankly out to "get” the Esch-Cum-mins law and the railway labor board. s—s —s —WANT ADS EARN—s —s—s 0 CARD OF THANKS We desire in this manner to thank the many kind friends and neighbors who assisted us during the sickness and death of our wfife and mother.

Chicago, June 17—Cooler weather and overcast skies today put pep into college athletes of the nation, here for the national meet. Hot sultry weather which prevailed during the few preliminary trials yesterday had caused the stars to slow up. California and Illinois were expeeted to fight it out for first honors. The suckers won last year. In the preliminaries, the Bears put two men in the final of the quarter mile run, but failed to start a man in the half. Illinois has one entry each In three events. Nebraska and Notre Dame are given an outside chance. Everett Bradley, the Kansas star, was absent because of illness in his family. This will help California's chances as he was expected to give Johnny Merchant an argument for the running broad jump. 0 LOCAL G. E.

HARD SHELL BAPTISTS RECEIVED ANOTHER CRUSHING DEFEAT AT INDIANAPOLIS TODAY Indianapolis, June 17. — Another crushing defeat was administered to "hard shells” in the Northern Baptist convention here today. The convention adopted the report of the executive committee which rejected a motion by Dr. J. C. Massee of Boston leader of the ultra conservatives for sale of "the Baptist” official organ of the meeting. It went further by voting to support the paper financially. Before the vote was taken DrD. Massee took the floor in support of his motion. He showed that he was laboring under the strain of yesterday's deelat in which the convention refused to adopt a creed. “I realize that the convention by its vote has expressed the will of a mapority of the Baptist but most assuredly not of the church as a whole,” he said. * Dr. Frederick Taylor of Indianapolis was elected President of the northern Baptist to succeed Mrs. Helen Barrett, Montgomery of Rochester, N. Y. BOUGHT FARM IN TEXAS Herman Dornseif, east of Fort Wayne, has purchased a farm consisting of 160 acres near Armitla, Texas.

By good engineer- > ing 13 of these crossings have been . eliminated, the remaining one being ■ in the small town of Clio, where there • are only three trains a day, and these 1 move at slow speed as they approach the station. Some fonths ago the Bureau of Pcblic Roads of the United States DeI partment of Agriculture announced > that grade crossings would be elimint atod on all Federal-aid highways whor- > over practicable. Officials of the bu- '■ rcau are receiving hearty cooperation from State Highway departments and 1 the general approval of the public. It has,beem found possible to revise ; many plans,' keeping the road entirely _ on one side of the track or finding a r suitable place where the road can f cross beneath or above the track, j In some States the highway departj ments on account of existing legisla--3 tion are having difficulty in inducing . the railroad companies to share the 3 cost of placing the highway above or under the track.
