It seems that this is a blessed age for the rich. If you feel old you can either have glands from a younger body transplanted in your body or get on one of Uncle Sam's booze ships and ride the high seas in a glorious high mood. A Chautauqua is a good thing for a community and worthy of support. The local Chautauqua will open here July 24th and W. J. Bryan, Kryls band, Strickland Gilman and other headliners will be on the program. The sale of the subscribed season tickets will take place next week and you are urged to take your tickets and boost for the big live day entertainment. The Yeomen meeting in this city during August promises to be the biggest event ever held here. Hundreds of delegates will come for the initiation and Adams County will show the Yeomen officers what an excellent community this is and how the splendid people can and do cooxierate with each other. Plan to take your vacation before this date and arrange to be here for Yeomen day. The women of the Civic section of the Women's club will endeavor to raise the funds for the equipping and maintaining of the ladies rest room and playgrounds in the city for the children. They plan to hold a big sale next month and are asking your support, which we feel will be given to such note worthy causes. Decatur should have a rest room and the children should have playgrounds. Help get them. The death of Martin Laughlin removes from this county one of the most esteemed and highly honored citizens. Mr. Laughin was a splendid gentleman, trust worthy and honest and loved by all who knew or came in

As a public official and superintendent of tho county infirmary lie served with credit and rendered the kii d of service that was not only a credit to the man himself, but to the community as well. Martin Laughlin will be missed and in behalf of the community we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family in their hour of grief. Eighth district democrats together with their state chairman met at Muncie last week and resolved to make a determined effort to elect John Tyndall, of Decatur, as the next congressional representative from this district. Resolving to do a thing is well and good enough, but it is going to take many many resolves before the Democrats can defeat Albert Vestal. It takes the individual resolves of a few thousand voters to elect a congressman and Adams county alone is not going to do it. Mr. Vestal will be back on the job for another two years.—Berne Witness. “Well there are some people who will take issue in the statement of the esteemed Witness just as the Witness takes issue With the resolve to elect John W. Tyndall. Be it known that Mr. Tyndall lives in Adams county, the Witness in published in Adams county, and in the primary the heavy vote given Mr. Tyndall shows conclusively what he will do in the fall election right at home where all know him. In view of this fact, and the fact that the Witness knows John W. Tyndall, knows of his sterling worth, his honesty and every-day action among his own, will the Witness take issue with the statement that Mr. Tyndall would make the district a much better man. With all due regard to Mr. Vestal, we never hear from him, he does absolutely nothing in the way of legislation—a few garden seeds come from his influence out into the district once In a while — he is never quoted as for or against any bill in congress, and what he does besides draw his pay and extras the Witness may be able to enlighten us. and then it may not. Simply making the bald statement that Mr. Vestal will be elected just because he has been succssful several times in the elections that have gone does not signify much in these times of “wanting to know.” The people are doing some mighty independent voting, and if the two candidates are considered at their true worth Mr. Vestal may not be elected, and then the Witness would be proven a bad prophet. Better not take too much for granted. In Wells county wer're going to the mat for John Tyndall.”—Bluffton Banner. Good for Wells county. We cannot see for the life of us why the Witness should prefer to see Vestal elected in

CHANGE MADE IN G. E. MANAGEMENT E. A. Barnes and J. 11. Evans are Made Assistants to General Manager An important change has been made in the management of the General Electric company, wherein E. A. Barnes and J. H. Evans have been appointed assistants to the general manager of the company. In telling of the change, the Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette says: “B A. Barnes and J. H. Evans, pioneer employes of the local works, of the General Electric company, have been appointed assistants to the general manager, it was announced yesterday by Walter 8. Goll, recently named general manager of the Fort Wayno works to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of F. S. Hunting. The appointments become effective on July 1, the same date Mr. Goll advances to his new position. “Mr. Barnes, now acting as general superintendent of the local plant, in his new capacity, will have charge of supervising manufacture, rate setting, industrial service, buildings equipment and maintenance, it was further stated by Mr. Goll. "J. H. Evans, at present discharging the duties of production manager, will supervise production, accounting costs, orders and stores, shipping and receiving. The changes in management were necessitated on account of the ap- ■ pointment of Mr. Goll, formerly asJ sistant general manager, to head the , Fort Wayne works. This left his old position in the organization vacant. It is not expected that furthor changes will be made in the organiza tion. Mr. Barnes’ early training in the electrical business began in 18S4 with the Consolidated Telephone company, one of the Edison interests in London. Soon afterward he took a position with Patterson & Cooper, electrical engineers, in London. “Two years after he had entered his chosen field, he came to this country to work for Bergman and company, of New York city. It was not long until Mr. Barnes went with the Westinghouse people, and while with the firm, installed electrical plants for them. "On April 1, 1889, he accepted a position with R. T. McDonald, of the Fort Wayne Electrical works, and he has been with the Fort Wayne works ever since. During the first two or three years of his service, he was engaged in installing “Wood" and “Slattery” alternating current apparatus, principally in Baltimore and Philadelphia. From Philadelphia „he was assigned the installing and equipping of the company’s running exhibits at the World’s Columbian Exposition. In the fall of 1893 he came to Fort Wayne as chief inspec tor. Shortly afterward he was made factory or general superintendent, which position he has held up to the j present time. In this capacity he has been naturally associated with the building up of the physical end of the plant, machinery and arrangement, . thus serving to qualify him without reservation for his new position. Mr. Barnes is exceedingly proud of his long and uninterrupted term of ser- > vice with the General Electric Com 1 pany. ’J. T. Evans has been employed at the local works of the General Elec trie company for the past 21 years, coming here from the Siemen & Halske Electric company, of Chicago. March 1, 1901. “For a number of years Mr. Evans I has had direct charge of the cost, payroll and piece rate departments i of the local company offices. Early in 1916, he was advanced to the posi tion of head works accountant. In i July 1918. he was appointed produc- ■ tion manager, which position he has fulfilled since that date.” 1 HAD PICNIC AT BELLMONT I The Pythian Sisters held their an- ■ nual picnic yesterday afternoon at - Bellmont park, seventy members be- , ing present.

FOURTEEN WAGON MINES OPERATE Indiana Mines Produce 500 Tons Per Day While Union Miners Meet Terre Haute, Ind..
