He admits he doesn’t know what its all about but says he is sure he will vote the way he thinks is the greatest advantage to the farmer and that’s something most of the brilliant men in the senate can’t claim.

oc his indebtedness. If he can do that the value of his land increases and he could easily secure the larger loan. f’ Collier’s Weekly recently asked an ’• opinion from the republican and >, democratic leaders as to who would be the nominee in the 1924 election for president. The results published s this week show Senator Ralston leads ) Ing for the democrats and President J Harding for the republicans. Senator i Ralston has shown gains with each [ week and as the others are ellmlnatI ed for one reason or another his chances gain. Os the leaders who replied sixty-one wore republicans and fifty-nine were democrats* Os these sixty-three predicted democratic success next year and fifty-seven said the republicans would win. Now figure that out if you can. The Northern Indiana Fair next week will be a big show, complete 1 In every detail and those who miss it will be sorry and particularly so if you like the county fair. There will be the Ford days, something new; 1 gift distributions on Tuesday and 1 Friday; exciting races, many featilres, an agricultural chputauqua, big displays of fireworks each evening and everything which goes to make a fair the biggest week’s entertainment of the year. One glance at beautiful Bellmont park w*ill convince you there is something doing and the event opens next Tuesday morning for four days. Plan to come and see the show and meet old friends. Recently a newly organized corporation took over the?

We believe a newspaper has a perfect right to express an opinion on various questions, political and otherwise so long as it is honest and fair and gives all sides of every question a square deul In its news columns. It’s stepping some however when the president’s own paper Is made au example of modern business methods. The Better Roads meeting tomorrow night—the Northern Indiana fair next week—the annual Chautauqua the next week. Those are three outstanding dates to keep in mind just now. folks of Adams county. Has the motor cycle policeman warned you yet? He has spoken to several hundred drivers of ears hero the past few days and you can notice he is busy. There Is no desire to make wholesale arrests just to cause you trouble but the mayor and his board of safety are determined that the laws be obeyed and if you continue to violate the laws after being warned you surely cannot find fault it you are arrested and fined. Obey the speed limit laws, the rules for turning corners, the muffler ordinance and the license laws and you will get along just fine and dandy.
