other affairs of some importance. Yeoman day comes two weeks from next Tuesday ami there is much to do. The committee in charge will start their plans in earnest Monday and your cooperation is desired an>l Is necessary. It should be the biggest day in Indiana Yeomanry and will be if we keep busy. Thomas It. Marshall has arrived in Indianapolis and is seeking a place in which he can arrange his grandmother's furniture and live without the income of a millionaire. Being a gentleman and paying ones debts on the average lawyer’s income is a difficult matter these days, even for an ex-vice-president and Thomas It. does not hesitate to say so. Republican senators are having a difficult job figuring out a tariff which will take care of their private invest ments and at the same time not lose too many votes in the coming election So many monkey wrenches have been hurled into the machinery that is seems doubtful the cogs can be clear ed soon and it also begins to look as though they don’t want a test on the new law before election. Senator Jim Reed was renominated for the United States senatorship in Tuesdays election by a majority of about 5,000 over Breckenridge Long About everything possible to stir up entered the campaign, Wilson and anti-Wilson factions, wet ami dry and a dozen other things. Now comes a stiff light between Reed and the republican candidate with the result in doubt though the state is normally democratic. Reed is a strong cam paigner and a vigorous fighter and the Missouri campaign will attract much attention over the states between now and November. It will be fine if the directors select this as the one spot in the entire United States to locate their ten million dollar home and school for child ren and wo believe they will. We have the beautiful site, the right kind of people, the railroad facilities and al! the other requirements. We don’t know of a leak so far as meeting the demands, but the biggest thing in the effort is the getting together of our people. Have you noticed how often you have heard words of praise from visitors here the past few months’ We must have heard it a hundred times and we heard it many, many times the past week from former Adams County people back home for a visit. Thats the best thing that can ever happen for any community and Is worth ten times the effort now being devoted. The Northern Indiana Fair, biggest event of its kind in the central west closed last evening. The crowd re mained until nearly midnight ant

seemed. loath to leave even then. The 1922 fair wilt go down In the story of such occasions as the most successful ever held in Adams County. The crowds were large, the weather perfect, the program excellent, the features numerous and exhibits up to the limit and the whole program just about right. Not an accident of any conse<jueai;« occurred io mar tne big

week and the cleanliness of the fair was commendable. The Decatur fair is known as the cleanest to be found anywhere. Col. Reppert and Mr. Sellemeyer deserve much credit as do the various superintendents and assistants. Mr. Beery in charge of the of the spaed made good and his part of the program was equal to the grand circuit. It was a whopper ol a fair and was enjoyed by many thousand people.
