THE COUNTY TICKET: — Election day is but a week away and the campaign is closing with this week's effort. At this time we want to call your attention to the splendid ticket nominated by the democraticparty and to assure you there can be no reason why democrats ot' Adams county should not support it. John W. Davis, America’s greatest lawyer, a man who has proven his worth at every opportunity and who has declared his desire to fight your battles, heads the national ticket as a candidate for president. His running mate is Charles W. Bryan, a man of airfl for the people, who. as governor of Nebraska, has demonstrated hi s great ability. For governor we offer you Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, splendid citizen, honest, trustworthy, capable, a man who has made good in his profession and in business and whose only desire is to serve you. With him you find on the state ticket. Arthur Hamrick, banker and farmer, for secretary of state Robert Bracken the present auditor of state, is asking re-election and is worthy; Harry Arnold, banker and business min of Gary, one of the big men of the state for treasurer; Lew O'Bannon. editor and lawyer, clean and honest and fearless, is the candidate for lieutenant governor; John W. Kern, brilliant son of a wonderful father is the candidate for clerk of the supreme court. Every candidate on the state ticket is a big man and fitted for the office he seeks.

In thi s district we present John A. M. Adair for congress. He served you faithfully for ten years and you all know him and his ability. In the county Dore B. Erwin who has practiced law for a quarter century in this county is seeking the judgship, he is capable and deserving. T. A. Gottschalk has served three terms in the legislature, was the democratic leader in the last session <and if elected will by virtue of his experience and his excellent qualities immediately stand out as a leader. John T. Kelly is a candidate for prosecuting attorney. He knows the law and will prove an efficient public servant. John Baker for sheriff and Louies Kleine for treasurer have served you well and are certainly deserving of their second terms. Martin Jaberg i considered by the state board of accounts, one of the best auditors in the date and is asking re-election. Ed Green is a candidate for recorder and his record in public service is his best asset. Dick Boch is a licensed find accurate surveyor who has terv* rd you splendidly and will continue to do so. Erank Breiner and George Keboemaker are candidate for county commissioner. They have during the past two years taken excellent car e of the business before them and they ask the second term which has been the rule in this county. Dr. L. 1 ...attox of Geneva is the candidate for coroner. He has been serving l you faithfull and not a word against! his work ha s been mentioned. There! is every reason why these men should be supported in the coming election and none that we know of why they should not be.

Political parties should be judged

by the men nominated to carry out the work for the public. These citizens can and will take care ot your business in a satisfactory manner it elected as they will be we feel sure on November 4th. This is Hallowe'en week and we hope every youngster in the county enjoys it. which doesn't mean, however. that you should destroy. Marking automobiles with paint or other substances, breaking up property, pushing over buildings, carrying away gates or articles, causing a loss to some one is not fun, but it is malicious destruction and a violation of law. We hope you don't do it for if you do the officers will be urged to do their duty which means arrests. Have your fun, play your pranks, enjoy yourselves but don't try to see how much injury you can lause to property. The most important things to consider in selecting county officials should be honesty and efficiency. Martin Jaberg is credited by the state board of accounts with being one of the very best auditors in the state. You are about to employ men to conduct the bunsineas of the county and we urge upon you the fact that the democratic candidates have been selected because of their ability to serve you. There is only one way to clean the state house and few there are who deny this should not be done. That way is to put the present administration with its centralized ideas of government. its boards and commissions, its Jacksons and Branches and! Stephensons out of there and replace them with such men as McCulloch, and O'Bannon and Arnold. You should in justice to yourself, vote the democratic ticket on November 4th. Rally with the democrats in Deca-

tur next Saturday night. The program will be complete and you will enjoy the enthusiasm and the features. The speaker will be Senator Gore of Oklahoma, than whom few men excel in oratory and none in ac- . complishment under adverse circum- 1 stances. Come in early, get in the ' parade and help make the event a sue- 1 t cess. I President Coolidge can talk if he wants to and dares to. His campaign : of silence was inaugurated because ' of the terrible record in Washington the past, four years. What can they . talk about? There are other silent men—Daugherty, Denby. Fall, Newberry. Branch and on and on almost without numbers. Let it soak in. John Adair will be elected to congress this year because of hi s previous record and his admitted ability. He realizes his responsibilities when he accepts an oath of office and his only effort and desire is to fulfill that oath. That means service to you and the people of the eighth district. You will be interested in the meeting at Berne tonight when George Emerson Francis, well known lecturer and T. A. Gottschalk will speak. Hear the messages of these men. They may clear you up on some of the political tangles. Put honest men in office is the slo-

Ran of the democratic party in the county, state and nation. Size them up. From president to coroner the men nominated by the democratic party are honest and efficient. Isn’t that what you want? There will be no Teapot Dome, Newberry or Fktll scandals in Washingloff if you elect John W. Davis as president and there will not be a "little green house on K street" for secret Conferences of the officials, A vote tor McCulloch and the democratic state ticket on November 4th is a vote for an old-fashioned conservative administration with lower taxes, fewer boards, less ceutraliza- . tion of powers. I The safe way to vote your ticket . this year is to make a cross mark | m- the circle containing the rooster. VAhy take chances?

Face to Face With TOTI DAL MONTE The Venetian Prima Donna A new voice among the song birdfor the concert and opera stage reminds one of recurring Springtime amid blommoms in the garden. Voices) are like the flowers—bud. bloom and, have their day. But the soul of music demands that the ranks of singers be recruited. This does not mean that tlher singers have passed the prime, for they never do. Prime implies a reputation made and services rendered —if never another. note is sung. There have been meteoric Careers of prima donnas even before and since the divine Patti. Tetrazzini and Galli Curci have ■ ther admirers all over the world and will go singing on. New comes a Venetian maiden, born in the romantic city of the Doges who played on the plaza of St. Mark's. In her girlhood she was calling the pianoforte, practising hes ed "Toti" Dal Monte and began study-!

A calamity proved to be her fortune. During the severe strain of I playing Beethoven's “Twenty-eighth | B Minor" the strain on her small) hand caused the eruption of a ten- : . don or, her right wrist. This was the same selection in which Paderewski threw his shoulders out of joint. ‘ It is perhaps the most severe physical • strain ‘of any pianoforte selection ■ ever written. The little Venetian lass ( was heartbroken and inconsolable. but her father was a philosopher and ’ took her to Marchesio. who had dis- ' covered many prima donnas, to see t wbat could be done about utilizing her musical talents as a singer, now that the career of pianist was out of question. ’ When she sang the Jewel Song ‘ from Faust, and, with girl-like audici- > ’ty. dared the intricacies of the aria, . even the father was astonished. It was enough for Marchesio. who had discovered many prima donnas. With the same arduous application she had given her pianoforte, “Toti” Dal ■ Monte studied for the opera. MakI - . .

.A.. . TOTI DAL MONTE says: “I am to sing in America, the one place of which artists dream as the ultimate goal of an operatic -career. I shall not know how to say diplomatic thngs about your rival cities, but I j swear I will sing my be#t wherever I may be in your Americfi.” \ ing her debut in La Scala in "Francesca Earimini,” she surpassed all the q expectations of her most devoted friends, but this was only the beginning. t Perfecting herself in lyric roles, she made a tour of South America, where she received an ovation. Returning

to La Scala last year, she received ( an ovation in her homeland, given to j this daughter of Italy a s "Our Toti." A tour of Australia followed last year) where music lovers waited all night in line to purchase tickets to hear the new voice from Italia. While in , Europe she was engaged by Charles L. Wagner, manager of John Mej Cormack, for an American tour and ’ will sing with the Chicago Opera in “Lucia” in November and the Metro- | pol Wan in New York in December. ] “Toti” Dal Monte has a charm of. I personality, and her head is not, turn-) ed because she has been claimed a veritable diva by the critics in Milan. 1 The legend enunciation of the Itdlian Venetian that reminds one of Due a petite" figure with a wealth of glorious hair that eliminates the “wig" wig wagging necessities in her favor- ! ite operatic role, lustrous eyes reflect- 1 ing Italian skies —no wonder she is called charming. With all the naivete of a debutante she exclaimed: "I am to sing in America, the one place of which artists dream as tnc ultimate goal of an : operatic career. I shall not know • how to say diplomatic things about . your rival cities, but I swear” (and t this with a coy Juliette gesture) “I 1 will sing my best, wherever I may be 1 in your America. 1 love ml Italy, my 1 Venice, but some American friends 1 and the gallant courtiers you are to - meet—and then— ’ ”

Passive vs. Active Wealth “A <EN who want both to succeed and to l\/| render service should strike out on new lines rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. It requires a better type of mind to seek out and support or create the new ” Albert W. Atwood. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always has sought to create the new—to add to t; e tangible wealth of the commumty-to make new values, thus leading in service and gaming leadership through service. Petroleum in the ground is potential and passive wealth. Petroleum on the highways, in service stations, in tractors, trucks and au , mobiles, is active, usable wealth rendering distinct and important service to humanity Before the organization of great to transport and refine crude Petroleum and to make the resulting products avallable all the people, this vast, potential wealth was not worth a cent. Today, with the machinery of industry in place and hundreds of millions of crude passing in an unceasing stre^ , oil wells to consumer, this passivewealth ha become active-and what was valueless fore is now worth billions of dollars. This is service—the most real and fundamental kind of service. It isservice d leadership—to keeping always ai tu front o’ the next”. And in return P fly in this service, the Standard (m t he (Indiana) has taken but a tiny new national wealth which it has createa People in general think of wealth in i termsof money —but, wealth is not nyjnej. - chandise—it is products which add vomton, luxury and satisfaction to lite.
