Page Dr. Work—A postal card mailed in Marion May 2nd, 1912 was delivered to its destination in Wabash last week. Just where the card has been hidden all these years has not been made public. Judge William H. Taft, former president of the United States is in England to study as he says, “the principles of English common low.” lie is the guest of Colonel Harvey and if he takes the gentleman's version of law as the basis for his study, he will sure revolutionize precedents in this country. Mr. Ossenberg, republican boss of the first district of Indiana, home address Evansville, departed from Indianapolis today for Atlanta, where he has been sentenced to serve a year for his connection with the whiskey conspiracy cases. Now watch every republican politician, senator and congressman get his coat off and upset things until this man who can deliver votes, is free again. The Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will hold their mid-summer | meeting at Madison, Indiana, Thurs-, day and Friday of this week. A delightful program of entertainment has been planned and many men and women prominent to state affairs, will join the crowd. Visits to Clifty Falls. Hanover College, a trip down the Ohio, luncheon at the state conservation park and other events are on the program. The railroaders, a million and a quarter of them, will strike, If the order to reduce wages becomes effective. Chiefs of ten railroads have so notified the labor board and there seems to be no doubt that they have their minds made up. If this is added to the coal strike we may expeej a year of real depression, hard times and a near revolution. Its pessimistic but so certain that we will have to look the condition squarely in the face. Business men and church leaders at Rome City recently agreed as to Sunday policies, all stores to close at noon on that day and no gambling, bootleging or dancing on the Sabbath. YesterI day Mr. Lesle who runs the dance hall showed his disgust with such an agree-'

ment by operating in full blast and now It's up to the citizens to proceed with prosecutions or forget their former good resolutions. Lisle expects arrest and will make a light it is reported. Rev. Dailey an evangelist Is heading the tight to clean up the summer resort. Mrs. Anna Dickie Oleson, who will be remembered here as one of the Chautauqua speakers last year, is creating a furore in Minnesota where she is a candidate for the democratic nomination for United States senator and her candidacy is far from a joke. It is predicted by the wise ones that she will be nominated and will give Senator Frank Kellog the scrap of his life for election. She has campaigned the entire state in her Ford car and and has converted thousands in her way of thinking. The primary is being held today. The new parking rules work very nicely but we need more parking space. Why not rent a vacant lot like the property owned by the Methodist church corner Monroe and Third or the Dugan ground east of the gym, lay it off for parking space and then provide a policeman from Saturday afternoon until midnight and on special occasions. The cost- would be slight but the convenience would be great and we are sure it would be more than appreciated by the visitors to this city. The same space could be used on other days without a guard and would relieve the conjestion on the main streets and make it possible to get up to the stores for trading purposes. We hope the city council will take the matter up. The tariff law is to be pounded through and along with the other troubles of normalcy, we will be asked to carry a burden of greater taxes for the benefit of a few. One of the largest clothing concerns in the country has written every dealt* informing him that the new tariff will mean an increase of from five to ten dollars on each good suit of clothes and they add "while it is urged that this tariff will help the farmer, the fact is that less than one per cent of American farmers raise wool in any substantial quantity and sixty per cent of the wool used in this country is Imported. The tariff would benefit only a few big ranch owners, leaving the farmers as well as the rest of the population to pay the bill in increased clothing prices.” The measure should be defeated but regardless of politics you should at least help to make the schedules fair if it is to pass. < - ■— NOTICE _________ • Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. Frank Shoemaker of this city attended the funeral of Mrs. Philip Geisler of Wren yesterday. Mr. Geisler preceded his wife in death last Thursday. NOTICE The Civic section of the Women’s club will meet Tuesday evening at 7:300 o’clock in the committee room of the Old Adams County bank.

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 today and your tongue will tell you why so many, many men stick to this brand. Stick to the “White Stag” and you’ll, never get Stuck. BOY PERHAPS FATALLY INJURED WHEN ROLLER PASSED OVER HIS BODY James Keyser, 13, son of Jacob Key ser, residing southeast of Ossian, was perhaps fatally injured Saturday morn ing when he fell from a land roller and the heavy implement passed over his body, breaking several ribs and in flicting internal injuries. The lad was working in a field and was driving the team towards the house, when the seat on the roller be came loose and he fell between the horses’ heels and the wheels of the roller. The horses became frighten cd and started to run, dragging the 600-pounel roller over the lad’s body. Members of the family, who were picking cherries in a near-by orchard, saw the accident anel rushed to the boy’s side. He sufferd a hemorrhage l , the blood running from his mouth. POISONED BAIT SUCCESSFUL MEASURE AGAINST CUTWORMS Cutworms can readily be controlled by the use of poisoned bait, the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated. This is the way to pre pare and apply the poison: To 1 bushel of dry bran add 1 pound of white arsenic or Paris green and mix thoroughly into a mash with 4 gallons of water, in which has been stirred one-half gallon of sorghum or other cheap molasses. This amount will be sufficient to treat 4 or 5 acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours scatter it in lumps of about the size of a mar ble over the fields where the injury in beginning to appear. Put it about the bases of the plants which have been set out. Apply the mash late in the' day, so as to have the poison in place, around the plants before night, when the cutworms are active. Apply a second time if necessary. Cutworms destroy hundreds of thou-, sands, even millions, of dollars’ worth of crops every year throughout the United States. They especially attack tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, and other vegetables that have been started under glass and transplanted. Cutw'orms sometimes appear in great numbers in the spring and summer, and frequently do severe injury before their ravages are noticed. Their method of attack is to cut off the young plants near the ground. They are of large size and are voracious feeders, capable of destroying many plants in a single night. Often they cut down more than they .can de- I vour. ’ ,' ’ 'i s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—S-$--$

UNION CHIEFS CONFIDENT OF RESULTS OF PROPOSED f JOINT STRIKE ACTION < (By Lawrence Martin) I Mult • .irri-ix'udcti* Cincinnati, O„ June 19. (Special to Dally Democrat) —Rail union and mine workers’ union chiefs here today approached their conference on joint strike action with confidence that it would develop practical measures of co-operative action helpful to both groups. While Bert M. Jewell, head of the rail union executive board and John L. Lewis, miners’ chief, declined to discuss specific measures that may bo adopted, both said there were “a number of practical things that could be done.” The first formal conference will occur Tuesday night. It will be followed by a public statement, which it was predicted today, will leave no doubts as to the intention of the railroad union leaders’ determination to “go through” with the strike if the 1,200,000 workers affected by wage cuts vote for it. ® — — ■ FORMER RESIDENT OF ADAMS COUNTY AND STEP MOTHER OF J.
