Adams county when the popular candidate for senator will couie here to meet the folks. He will be accompanied by a number of party leaders and will visit in Decatur, Monroe, Berne and Geneva. He will meet hundreds of people that day an 1 we are sure you will all like him. The state of Indiana collected over $53,000,000 in taxes the past year and now Governor Jackson and his administration claim great credit for having paid off the state debt and left a huge balance in th© treasury. They had no right to collect an amount so greatly in excess of the needs at a time when many farmers ware borrowing money to meet expenses. If you will look over the program for this years Chautauqua you will agree it has been well selected. It concludes lectures by leading men of the platform, children’s hours, concerts and dramas. Green's famous band and entertainments that are sure to please you. The tickets are three dollars for the entire six days, a big buy and a good time, the “joy time of the year.” The farmer's dollar is worth thirteen cents less than it* was before the war. according to statistics from the agricultural department at Washington. It is predicted this will continue hard times for the average farmer and will cause many to go iato bankruptcy. The question was discussed fcr months during the recent session

of congress but they failed to take n care of the situation. Now they are asking another chance but doubt if they can put It over with the average man of the middle west where agriculture Is our biggest Industry. Aa the result of another "bobble" 1 in legislation, it will be necessary , according to members of the state election commission to again register every voter, a big job, a difficult one ■ and an expensive proposition. It I Weems foolish but those who should ' know say its the only way to make ’ the election legal. Inefficiency costs 1 <a lot of money these days. - Senator Albert B. Cummins, leading member of the highest law making body in this country and one of the statesmen of the middle west, most admired, died suddenly of heart trouble last evening. He has for years been recognized as republican leader of the territory he represented so ably in congress and the senate. He was one of the great men of the country and his death is a loss to his state and the nation. _| ? n We are assured that the east and west road through this county will be taken over by the state highway commission within a short time and that the survey by the commission will be made at once. We believe the road will soon be paved from the Ohio state line to Huntington. We are sure the Benjamin Franklin Highway will be one of,the great routes of the country. We wish you would become a member of this organization which you can do by the payment of one dollar. 11 q.+++++++ + + + + ++ + + + * + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + + + From the Daily Democrat File ♦ + Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ + *4. + + + + + + + + + + + + ** July 31—Otis J.

ARTHUR MacMI’RRAY I More than fifty Chautauqua committees through Ohio end Michigan ’ were disappointed this season In be Ing unable to secure return dates which they had requested on Arthur Mac Murray. In moat of these communities this would have been Mr MacMurray’. third appearance In as many Chautauqua seasons, a splendid tribute to bis ability as an entertainer. The disappointment of those fifty committees, however, insures keen enjoyment to our Cbsutsuqua patrons, because Mr. Mac Murray elected to tour our section of tho country this summer. On the fifth afternoon his humorous lecture-recital "The Humor and Philosophy of Poetry." will be not only a thoroughly enjoyable entertainment but also a revelation in literary interpretation and appreciation.
