The advertising and the boosting is being done now and on Sunday, the 23rd of November, th<r drive will be made through the various churches in this county. We believe it is very important that you renew your membership. During the*war we raised several thousand dollars for the Red Cross but since that time, the number of mem tiers has dwindled each year until now the total membership is only about 500. ( We need the Red Cross organization all the time for we never know just when the services .of this great charitable body will be necessary. An instance that should make us all think occurred at Lorain, Ohio, a few months ago. There they had permitted the chapter to suspend. Last summer a terrible cyclone caused millions of dollars less and killed and injured thousands.' Only by appealing to the Red Cross at Cleveland, could they secure needed assistance. So long as the Adams County Chapter continues, they can call on the national body for aid and we may need it badly some time. We hope not. But any way isn’t it worth a dollar a year to feel that you have helped in such calamities as occur each year, somewhere in- this great country? Get your dollar ready for November 23rd. Please. ON NEW HIGHWAY:— Announcement was made yesterday by the Indiana Highway Commission that 911 miles of roads have been 'added to the list of state highways and that included in the recommendation is the road from Huntington to Decatur and east. This is wonderful news for fhis county and for this section of the state and means that the east and west road through this city will soon be a leading highway over which there will be much travel. The route from Huntington here will no doubt follow the proposed Harding highway but it is expected that from here to the state line, the old Van Wert road will be followed. The Harding route east, was marked through Bobo to Wren, Ohio, but this will very probably be discarded by the commission because of the dangerous railroad crossings and because Ohio state road, 109, comes west from Van Wert to Watt 4)11 the state line. While it will probably be several years before the new roads are greatly improved, the decision mea is that eventually this road will be made one of the important ones and will be rebuilt by the state. Its the best news received liore in several years so far as road building is concerned and the people of this county will duly appreciate it. INDIANA LEADS:— According to the bulletin sent out by National Association of Manufacturers the “Get out the vote campaign” unused an increased vote this year of nearly four million in the United States. The headliner of the announcement is the feet that Indiana led all other states in the union and 83.3' < of the Hoosiers eligible, took advantage of the opport unity to take a part in selecting officials. The vote in Indiana this year was 1 376.569 as compared to 1,262,964 four years ago, a gain of nearly ten per cent. The gain in the nation was nearly thirteen yer cent. The vote four years ago was 26,646.273 and this year is estimated to be 30.093.232. The per centage this year will be about 53 as compared to the 49'1 of the total vote cast four yqgrs ago. The low average is caused largely from the fact that in the southern states where the primaries decide the elections, the per centage of vote is as low as eight per cent. Kansas was second this year with 80.3 per cent, Minnesota had 73.2 per cent. New York 60 5 per cent, Ohio. 47.5 per cent; Illinois, 66.5 per cent; Michigan, 58.3 per cent and Kentucky, 61 per cent. The campaign seems to have helped some but not enough. Do your Christmas shopping early. Thats an old one but just as good this year as ever. The first announcements of holiday goods, appear In todays paper. Watch these columns from mAv on for facts and figures that ought to interest every shopper. ! n the program for next year in this- city, don’t overlook the city approaches. Some repairs to the brick street near the Monroe street bridge and a new street from the old mill to the no. .a Irr'ge would help if it can be worked out. Lets go boys. It looks now as though Denton, democrat, will nose out V, iiioughby, for supreme judge of Indiana but we haven’t been . li to figure it out as a democratic victory. He must have received a few republican votes since he is running some 210,00 C ahead of his ticket. Adams county spends SI,OOO a day for educational purposes, not a bad average for a great work, i 8 it? The schools of today compared with those of a quarter century ago, will make you understand where all the money goes and what has been accom--1 Ul.cd.

1 Face to Face ’ With Mrs. Charles H. Sabin » s Political Leader Among Women s ! A graceful dainty figure appeared ' on the platform before the delegates j )in convention assembled and ten thousand people Hi the Republican I National Convention in Cleveland in 1 1924, und then there was a buzz of expectancy. When Mrs. Charles Sabin appeared and extended the thanks of [the convention graciously to the city of Cleveland for its hospitality, she | was truly participating in politics and following the traditions of her family. Her father and her grand-1 father were both members of a I’resi- 1 dent's cabinet and prominent in na- 1 tional public life. I | In 1858 her grandfather, Hou. J. ' Sterling Morton, was made Secretary i of the Territory of Nebraska, and was ; prominently identified with the early s history of 'that State. The appoint- s ment made him Acting Governor of the Territory. As Secretary of Agri- , culture under President Cleveland, he became the honored founder of Arbor , Day, celebrated quite generally in , the I’nited States ever since and add- | ing millions of new trees. , 1 Her father. Hon. Paul Morton was 1 Secretary of the Navy in President i Roosevelt's Cabinet. Early in life Mrs. i Sabin took an active interest in ]>oli- i tics as companion to her father. In i 1919 she visited at the headquart, rs < 'of the National Republican Commit- i tee in New York as a volunteer and .t was in the thick of the Harding paign. Beginning at the bottom as ; a member of the Suffolk County Republican Committee, she was advanc- , ed to Vice Chairman of the Republi- j can Ways and Means Committee sor 1 . Greater New York and raised $176.- , Odd needed for expenses, with the speed of an old campaigner. She managed the campaign for as- l semblyman in Suffolk County aud t elected her candidate in a three-corn- s ered primary fight. In 1923 she was n chosen president of the Women's ?,'a- r tional Republican Club and became | an associate member of the Republi-[t can State National Committee of the t State of New York. She was elect-li ed and served as delegate-aLlarg» to' i the Republican National Convention t from the Empire State, having been a < delegate to every state convention i since 1920.

nW *■ MRS. CHARLES H. SABIN says: | "Women may be temperamental in some thing*, but my experience has proven that they are cool in political emergencies. East for the presidential campaign of 1924, Mrs. Sabin has a background of such practical experience that it serves her well. |i Os slight figure and with h-r expressive, dark eyes and pleasing way. , she seems to understand just how to direct women in the stress of modern capaign tactics. Fortified with information. she decides on matters very quickly aud with little fuss or feathers, having the poise demanded in emergencies. She has away of winning votes in the mass as she has an extended acquaintance among women throughout the State in all o< - cupations of life. New ways have b. e i innovated at National Headqmvt r; I since the advent of women doing ih" active and direct work in a presidental campaign. At her desk she directs a cam- , paign with the grace of a hostess at home, and yet there is the systematic methodical business-like methods that was characteristic of her distinguished grandfather and father. "it occurred to me years ago, oven before women iiad the vote, that they should devote more time to the study of public ouestions and take an I active interest in polities, even if for i nothing else than to enjoy the com- 1 painship of husbands and brothers in I that which seems to interest them at times more than anything else. Women may be temperamental in some things, but experience has proven that they are cool in political emergencies. Politics is wooing voters and who should know more about wooing and about how to be wooed than a woman.”

In order to get around going over the bonding limit the township enter- • ed into contract with the Winamac Improvement Corporation whereby the corporation would rent the school (building to the township for SI2,OUJ a year.
