Up to date the Adams County Witness has not offered any explanation of the charges made by the New York World that Congressman Vestal had drawn considerable in fees from other supposed employes. Nepotism is a serious charge and should be of enough moment to secure a reply. The Yeomen are busy at their stand at the fair grounds and are securing a large number of applicants. The order writes a splendid insurance policy and the initiation of a class of several hundred is to be one of the incidental features of the big day here on August 22nd.

Adams county voters should remember that they must register again this year or they cannot vote in November. We are promised this is the ‘ last registration except in cases where the voter moves into another ’ precinct, but this year you must register to vote. There will be two days for this, one in September and ouo ' in October and the registration is the I first important work for the precinct 1 committeemen and their assistants. I ——s=s=s > The fair is a success. To be sure [ there are a few complaints as there ■ always are but these who wish to be square about it will admit that its the best county fair to be found any where with wonderful attractions, splendid races and a hundred entertainments. The livestock Chautauqua is interesting, the displays of merchandise, the auto show, the races, ■ every thing is the best. When you meet Mr. Reppert or Mr. Sellemeyr or any of their associates, tell them so. They have worked hard, have a- - sumed big risks, have made good. Don't save the flowers, pass them now. The railway men upset the dope when they met Tuesday and without any apparent effort or desire to follow the requests of the president, voted unanimously against accepting the proposition to close the strike. They refuse to grant the old men who quit priority over those who were advanced in their places. It will probably be several weeks, perhaps months before the strike is over and in the meantime millions will lose money and otherwise feel the effects

of industrial disturbances. The rail chiefs had an opportunity to advance some proposition which might have closed the strike but evidently did pot care to do so. THE TEN GREATEST:— The Indianapolis News is engaged in the interesting endeavor to determine if possible who are the greatest ten living Hoosiers, as judged bv opinions of Indiana persons who are asked to submit lists of the men and women of their choice. In such lists as have been published thus far, there Is a singular unanimity concerning the greatness of certain persons, more especially writers. Thus Booth Tarkington's name appears on near ly all lists, while those of George Ade and Meredith Nicholson are nearly as frequently mentioned. Aside from these the range seems to be wide. Albert J. Beveridge is frequently named, and according to some letters, because he is a writer rather than because he Is a statesman. Kin Hubbard, creator of “Abe Martin, deservedly is listed with those who have brought fame to the state. But statesmen are not neglected. Thomas R. Marshall, twice VicePresident of the United States and once governor of Indiana, also is a favorite and the name of Senator James E. Watson, Former Governor James P. Goodrich and others, an mentioned. ‘ The only military man who is prominently suggested is Major-General Omar Bundy. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the Indiana state board of health for many years and a pioneer of health progress is this state, also comes in for mention as do many persons not so well known as the above. But it is improbable that the ten who may be considered greatest will be the ten who necessarily have done most for the state. Many great men and women are so because of service which they have done that did not lend itself to advertising. Many who have done much for their fellow-men are of the nature that would find it embarrassing to see their names in such a list. Their reward must come —and only can come—in the knowledge they possess of their own motives and in the self-satisfaction that arises out of the consciousness of the good they have done or are doing.— Muncie Press. SELECT ROOM IN - WHICH TO ISSUE AUTO LICENSES (Continued from page one) the license clerk and after a man has been placed in charge the auto owners of this county can apply in person for their licenses and receive their number plates at the same time. These branch offices are opening throughout the state and will eliminate much of the work heretofore done in the office of secretary of state. The auto owners will no doubt appreciate the convenience. < , ' ■. .... . , ....... NIBLICK & CO. fl - \ I “ Unqucstionably the 'Best ’ Carmen Hair Nets have won a reputation for unequaled quality.

P. A. Fort Wayne, Indiana INDIANA SERVICE CORPORATION I * | And Now-Profit in Farming i Without the Drudgery FORDSON power makes more productive seed beds. The tractor does its work so rapidly and docs so much cf the heavy work of farming, that farm drudgery is passing. Expenses are reduced. Better crops are grown. In the bringing about of this new era, the Oliver No. 7 Plow has been the working partner of the Fordson. It is so light running and so scientifically designed that its work has made it a reputation enjoyed by no other tractor plow. It is extremely easy to handle. Depth is adjusted by moving a lever that operates a jack. So easy is this done that most drivers do not stop or slow down to make a change in the plowing depth. The power lift is tripped by simply touching a rod I which is so cor.vieniently placed that the driver need I not turn his head to operate it. There is no side draft ! I because the plow is in perfect alignment with the tractor. To farm the Fordson way means so small an invest- || ment that it is within easy reach of every farmer. Come in and see the Oliver No. 7 gang and you, too, will 1| decide to farm the Fordson way. | SHANAHAN CONROY AUTO CO. V FORD AGENTS Decatur, ....
