Experts now declare that if the truth could be brought out about the Pennsylvania primary that more than seven million dollars was spent instead of the two million admitted. The G. O. P. elephant is having a hard time getting its breath these days with the eastern men pulling at its head and the west hanging on to its tail. When they get through with Jumbo he may resemble an eel. The Fourth of July is coming and you can celebrate at Bellmont Park the entire day with the assurance of having a tine time. The program is most complete and contains a lot of things that will interest you. Make a date to be there. It may surprise many to know that the valuation on automobiles in every township in Adams county far exceeds that of farm machinery. In a number of cases the total valuation of cars is three times that of farm machinery. Its a condition, which serious or otherwise must be dealt with. Join the Benjamin Franklin highway association. A thousand members here will make this county strong with the national association and will help. As the gateway to Indiana it is important that we have a strong and active organization. Every dollar will be accounted for. Get a card. * The Benjamin Franklin highway association will put on a campaign to secure five hundred to a thousand members and we are hoping that every one who can possibly do so will send in their dollar and get a card. Its a splendid movement, designed to guarantee implement and maintainence of one of the most important east and west roads in the country. A newspaper man named Small who notwithstanding his name, has a large reputation, has figured it out that on the basis of the Pennsylvania primary expenses it would cost you twenty-six million dollars to run for president of the United States with ■a campaign in each state. Expect that will prevent most ot us from ever holding that job. Those who think Indiana's prohibition law too drastic should turn to Nebraska, where the supreme court has upheld a sentence of forty days on bread and water imposed by a trial judge upon four men for selling liquor at a country dance, a first offense. It sounds almost like the dark ages. Bread and water has been used in prison discipline as an extreme zesort, but the Nebraska case is not one of this kind. —Newcastle Courier. The Kendallville Chamber of Commerte recently made a drive for memberships in the Noble County Building & Loan Association. They added 120 new members who purchased 1,147 shares of the stock and who will pay in $688.20 per month, important is the building and loan that the business organization felt it there duty to aid in this revival of interest. The more money thus secured, the more building of homes and the greater help to the city. This kind of co-operation helps a com-

Secretary Mellon may be the big man he is credited with being and no on e denies he has be<\n a successful business man, but he is getting into print now with some statements that sound rather foolish to many. He is defending the expenditure of two million dollars in the Pennsylvania primary and says a contribution to such a fund Is just as proper as a church contribution. He is also opposed to the farm relief measures and says they are unsound. Os course he figures that anything which does not aid his financial institutions and mills directly is not sound but he will have a hard time convincing the average citizen west of the Alleghenies that a law which will bring prosperity to the country is not a good thing. A great religious gathering will be that of the eucharist congress to be held in congress beginning Friday and continuing one week. Repre sentative Catholics from thirty-four nations will participate and many from this section will attend. There will be present, it is announced, thirteen cardinals, five hundred bishops, five priests and 12,000 sisters. The devotional program will last five days and men and women from the most remote parts of the earth will bow before the holy Eucharist. The opportunity of attending such an elaborate religious event comes but once in a life time and it is needless to say that Chicago will entertain one of the greatest crowds in her history, it being estimated that more than a million people will attend during the week. — o aSKSSSSSSSSKSSSSJ H E E TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ■ H X From the Dally Democrat File E H Twenty Years Ago Thia Day K 9 " SXKHSSItSS®E3S«JiSKKBB June 16—First National bank buys SII,OOO issue Os bonds on Central school building, paying $6Ol premium.
