Harmony and good common sense is all it requires to benefit the most in this project. The news comes from Indianapolis ( that Senator Watson. Ex-senators New and Beveridge, Ex-governor Goodrich. Governor McCray. Larry 1 Lyons. Ed Jackson and various other ‘ leaders of factions in the republican party are now just loving each other almost to death. It's really one of < the best jokes of the season. Go ahead boys, some day we'll tell one. Evidently the people of the PhiWipines do not take kindly to Governor 1 General Wood. A few weeks ago following a split over decisions of Gov- j ernor Wood most of the officials re- < signed and yesterday the legislature unanimously demanded in a joint resolution to President Harding the immediate recall of Mr. Wood. More trouble tor the president who is so- . journing in the far north. Chautauqua comes next week and it will be a delightful program of high class entertainment. You will . enjoy every minute of it. In the meantime we urge you to be thinking about the free chautauqua. There , i are many features which appeal. We f run our own chautauqua entirely, we , secure the very best attractions, we 1 give the people for a radius of twenty miles a wonderful entertainment 1 and the cost is no more to each indi- ( victual now supporting the cbautau- < qua. its a splendid idea and at least worth your thought. > t Adams county's new hospital will ' if be dedicated next Sunday and the ] finishing touches are now being t made. All those in position to judge- i and who have visited the hospital I declare it the most complete and the ' nearest perfect in this section of the ( country, a tribute worth while to ;l those who have labored long and patiently to build the very best f building on the money allotted them, t | The hospital will soon be taxed to its capacity as is evidenced by the “ fact that already a half dozen appli-, y cations for rooms have been filed. " We may keep on marking time I and kidding ourselves that the farmer will recover from the present yoke placed about bis neck but Its the most serious problem in America today ami won't improve until something is done towards providing a ' healthy and profitable market. It should have been done six years ago. This rubbish talk that the boys are all leaving the farms because they , prefer the bright lights is not con- ’ vinelng. Some of them do but many . would much rather remain at agricultural pursuits if they could make a 1 living. The trouble is they can't and consequently you see many vacant farm houses. In a drive ot four miles last evening we noticed six empty 1 farm houses with the buildings going to pieces. Its serious and don't for- ■ get it for a moment. . ■ !■ I II I ■ 1 The big fair opened today and if . th a weather breaks right it will be * one of the big ones in the history of a the county. The big field at Bellmont *

is perfectly set with all kinds of attractions and with everything In readiness. This morning opened cloudy after u big shower lust, night but the opening crowd was large and the Indications are that every day will be a good one. The credit belongs to Col. Ruppert and Manager John laenbarger and their assistants. They have worked hard and have done all within their power. We believe they could have bad heartier support from a few sources but they are a couple of game business men who know the fair game and who believe above everything else in giving the people who attend more than they advertise. That's what they will do. The program is complete. Boost for the fair and remember that the real fellows these days are the constructive chaps. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ « + ♦ From the Daily Democrat files ♦ + 20 years ago this day ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Lewellen family holds reunion at Rome City.

Good of Huntington, president of the Indiana State Medical Association and Dr. Harry G. Hill of Indianapolis will be the principal speakers al the services. In order to regulate traffic, three policemen will be stationed at the intersections of the roads leading to the hospital. The grounds in front and around the hospital are now being landscaped, walks constructed, and the site is becoming a beauty spot in every way. The beautiful and imposing building and the ideal surroundings. added to the natural beauty of the site, will make the Adams County Memorial Hospital a rnecca and a show place for the community. o Lewis Rumschlag. of south of the city, was a business visitor here today. »_ __ SEE the Blind Man weave rugs at the Fair grounds this week.

Whenever her hair took pn that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful ( fleet. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." you wiy get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to us.-, at very little cost. I This simple mixture can be depended | upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage, and Sulphur Compound now because l it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can ten it has been applied—it’s so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, takin? one strand at a time. By morn-' Ing the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. It is restored to its natural color and looks gjossy, soft and beautiful. |

decision from Lew Tendler, the Philadelphia challenger, in the Yankee stadium last night. While 70.000 spectators were on their feet shouting a <iin " ix)llg live the king.” Tendler. his face puffed and swollen, his mouth releasing little crimson trickleU from the , corner, walked wearily to the champion and gave him “You sure did win.” The official decision of the judges and the referee was not needed. It was taken for granted from the first round that Leonard would win by a mile and when the gong ended the fight, the demonstration reached such vocal proportions that the an uouncer had to flash,the decision b> uplifting the hand of the champion. Even a knockout could have given Leonard no more impressive and convincing a victory than he earned. ii:!
