The state borrowed $50,000 the other day at five per cent interestl with which to pay the cost of erect-. ing new horse hams at the state fair ■ grounds. The state fair is a good and j worthy enterprise, but why should\ the people of Adams county bo taxed j to help beautify the grounds around Indianapolis? John W. Tyndall should be elected to congress. He is well qualified for the important office through years of public service, is a sound, and conservative business man and a person who wants and will give service to the district. It's your opportunity to get representation in congress for the glorious old eighth district. L-LL.JL-! The state primary will be held in Michigan on September 12th and of chief interest in the many races is the one for the republican nomination for United States Senator. Senator Charles E. Townsend who is running for renomination on a platform in support of Senator Newberry has three opponents and "Newberryism" is the main issue. It looks as if Townsend would be beaten. It is estimated by Secretary Honnold of the Illinois Coal Operators’ Association that the recent strike of coal miners cost the country from five hundred million to seven hun-

dred million dollars. That's a vast sum and in the end the consumer will have to pay the bill, for coal prices have been licreased and com- ’ modifies manufactured through, the use of coal will necessarily be boost . cd. The poor, public. In a special article in the Indianapolis News an account of Perkinsville. Indiana, is given and mention made 1 1 that this little town although one of I i the oldest is also one of the least ' known in the state. Age does not . make a town. To get on the map and !be known a town or city must do I things, have progressive merchants and business men , and show real community spirit. Decautr may not be as old ‘ as Perkinsville, but by gosh, we 11 never change. President Harding wants congress to give him the power to take over the hard coal mines and the railroads in order that the country will not ' suffer from a coal famine this wint- ; er. Something must be done immediately and although government own--1 ership and operation of the mines ■and railroads may not be the best thing, it may help remedy the cause. It appears that the mine and railroad ! owners want the government to take over their property. The murder of Edward Moyer at Willshire over a week ago is baffling. As yet no arrests have been made, although a report was circulated a few days ago that a man by the name of Smith had been arrested in Dayton , in connection with the murder. This report was unfounded and it is ,sin- , cerely regretted that an innocent man’s name should be connected with such a crime. Detectives and county officials are working on the case and it is sincerely hoped that the II guilty person or persons will soon be i apprehended and made to pay for the ’ murder.

It costs heaps and heaps of money to publish a newspaper and 1 the larger the city the more expense J is entailed. In our plant the daily , expense is over one hundred dollars i a day, whether you do that much 1 business or not and the worst of it is the expense keeps on climbing. • . WHY ARE SOME WOMEN POPULAR happy, beloved and successful, while others drag out a negative existence, oi uo use to themselves or anyone else? Except in a few cases the answer is tc 1 be found in a state of freedom from the troubles known as female.” The well woman radiates cheerfulness and serenity, while the ailing one re I pels because of her lack of these qualities. It is not necessary, however, t to harbor aches and pains, and the , “blues” that make one a detriment to society. The use of Lydia E. Pink ■ ham's Vegetable Compound has I brought relief to such women, and , given them a new lease on life.

"THE LITTLE MINISTER” LEADING MAN IS A * LITTLE CHAP Some of the Scotch soldiers—recruited from the extra ranks and being mostly cowpunchers—employed in “The Little Minister,” Betty Compson's new I’aramount picture which comes to the Crystal theater today and tomorrow, were discussing the various characters and their interpreters on the set, during the filming of the picture. "I always thought leading men in pictures was big chaps,” said one. “But look at that little feller, Hackathorne —he ain’t any bigger ’n a kitten. ” “Shucks!” replied another, “where’s vour brains? Ain't he playin’ ‘the little’ minister? How could he be big?” George Hackathorne has a role of great force in this picture, Miss Compson makes one of the most beautiful Lady Babbies that could be imagined. There are many thrills in the development of this charming picture story. ♦ Mr. and Mrs. Dan N. Erwin entertained the following guests at dinner Monday evening: Misses Doris and Ireta Erwin.
