Register between now and October 9th if you want to vote in November and you surely want to express your approval or disapproval of the state and national administration. Register now. Democratic headquarters are open and Miss Costello will fill out the blanks for you. If. you can’t get there send word to your precinct committeeman or woman and they will see that you are qualified to vote. October 9th is the last day and you must be registered by that time. If you live in Adams county you want to vote for John Tyndall for congress probably and we want you to. Be sure to register. Democratic headquarters are open now and interest is expected to grow in the important campaign just opening. Efforts will be made to register every voter and there will be a several weeks’ speaking campaign with much to discuss. The state tax question, the many useless commissions and the record of congress will furnish ample subjects and the people are evidently anxious to show their disapproval of these things and the present general conditions. If you drove over the main highways yesterday you probably saw a car in the ditch and if you drove over some of them you no doubt saw several for there were the usual number of accidents yesterday. New gravel on the roads makes it easy to lose j control of your car if driving thirty or forty miles an hour and the wonder is that there are not more serious results than art reported and ] there are plenty at tluit. Why take chances when driving? The state tax commission wants the local tax levies reduced but according to all information coming from their headquarters the state taxes will be increased. They use $1,400 a mile to maintain the state road through Adams county but com-

The tax board make their own rules evidently and are their own judges, a fine scheme. If John Tyndall is sent to congress he will not jjevote much time to entertaining or attending balls or otherl.vlan ahinlne In sn/'lotv hilt ho will ho | looking after your interests every i minute. You know that if you know I John Tyndall and you also know that he has the ability as well as the desire to accomplish things. He will be fighting for the good of his constituents and that ought to be the kind of a man to send there. He is being supported by hundreds of the leading citizens of the district for that very reason and the indications are that ha will be employed on November 7th to represent this district in congress. Now the campaign is warming up and the candidates with outstretched hands go smiling through the countryside. They stop us in the lanes. They tell us about it in the blacksmith shop. They exhibit themselves at the '-minty fairs, and the ice cream socials. They are cheerful, optimistic over their chances. But they are not normal —not quite normal. We notice a certain bewilderment in their approaches. For ma, as well as pa, is on the registration list this year. Sis is going to vote, and her vote counts just as much as Bud’s. And the ladies, heaven bless ’em! are to some extent an unknown quantity to the man that looks for office. Os course he has ladies in his own home, but chances are he is not entirely sure and certain how they are going to vote. And if he doesn't know what his own womankind may do, how can he guess at the feminine vote in general Poor candidate! He can’t tell just how properly wet or dry he should be. Should he carry a flask on his hip and a rose in his hand? Should he stuff one pocket with seegars, and another with chocolate bonbons? Alas, who is to tell him! He is up against a new thing, and there are no traditions to guide him. He has a shrewd fear that the ladies will not be as easy to string along as the man voter with whose psychology he is more familiar. He can only do his best and wait till the votes are i counted. —Fann Life.
