WOOLLEN:— Decatur and Adams county extended a sincere welcome to the Hon. Evans ..'oouen. democratic candidate for United States senator today. The popular candidate came here not To make speeches but to get acquaint- 1 ed with the folks of Adams county 1 and to tell them briefly what he i stands for in,government. Mr. Wool- i len is one of Indiana's leading men. i (successful in business and a Jeffer- t sonian democrat who believes in -i government for the people and by t the people. 1 He impressed those who met him i here as a big man, desirous of assist- t ing the people whom he would repre- » sent. He is making his fight upon ■ these sound and old principles of the • ‘democratic party: 1 “(1) We believe that government is best which, consistently with the orderly processes of society, governs ’ least. Disregard of this principle has < brought, among other evils of pater- f nalisnr. increased taxes. Government < costs and the best way to reduce i taxes is to reduce government. \ e “(2) We believe that government t 'is best which, other tilings being t ‘equal, is nearest those governed. Dis- f regard of this principle has weakened the states and increased alarmingly the centralization of government 1 at Washington. ’ "(3) We believe that government < is best which most fully assures t equality of opportunity and excludes o privilege. Disregard of this principle k has imposed on uj> a tariff system d which for the benefit of some inanu- tl facturers ha raised prices to the in- t jury of .<ll coiiMtiiters and the ffrrher <i especially ” tent with these principles,” Mr. Woollen stated, "and on the basis of such i; pledge I ask the support of all who > are concerned for the protection of n human rights not less than for the 0 protection rtf property rights and who *’ believe their country is menaced by a these tendencies.” K In a word, Mr. Woollen asks the support of all those who as freemen, wishing neither public aid nor guar- ’ L dianship, self-reliantly face the 'world in their own courage and re- v ’sourcefulness and regard their gov- 11 ernment not as dispenser of privi- r lege for some of us but as instrumen- h 'tality of limited power to maintain '' for all of us peace, order and security. z s State Chairman R. Earl Peters is ** accompanying the Woollen party over ' y the state. Mr. Peters is completing c one of the best organizations ever - made In Indiana and his many friends here are proud of him for he is an a Adams county product who has fought his way to the front by his I own ability and pluck. He is a fighter who will not quit until the votes are counted out on election day ' F 1 and he will make a worth while t record. District Chairman Virgil i Simmons who has many friends and acquaintances here is also with tne crowd while they are in the eighth . district and is urging such an organ- ( ization that victory will be assured. ; ’lts the advance guard of one of the , important election fights in the old ( Hoosier state and its sure to be effeetive.

FELLOWSHIP

I could chum it with the begger, 1 could chum it with a crook if his crooked work 1 wasn't asked to share, I could chum It with the padre, with his rosary and book, For Pin happy with my fellows everywhere. Hut 1 cannot go the strutter with his smug and haughty look. And his arrogant and self-important air. Oh, I care not what a man is or the task he's called to do, I’ll befriend him if he's trying to be fair If he says to me, "good morning”, I will say: “The same to you!”

KNOW YOUR STATE INDIANA extends the right of suffrage to any citizen, male or female, who has resided In the state six months, and in the township sixty days, and in the ward or precinct thirty days, provided they have observed the registration law. here today for the first political meeting of the year was the Hon. Claude Ball of Muncie, democratic candidate for congress, a capable and able campaigner, a lawyer of ability and a man of sound ideas who ■will represent you honestly if sent to Congress. He arrived last evening, met a number of people here and accompanied the Woollen crowd over the county and district. He will return later to make a number of speeches over the county and he is • •nthnslastic in the belief that he will be elected in November. We are still of the opinion that if wo pass up the opportunity to hold a corn and dairy show in October we are overlooking a worth while chance. The dedication of a $75,000 improvement at the Cloverleaf Creameries makes this the very best time to s|art such a festival and it could be made an annual event with benefits for many. County Agent Busche is properly urging that mapl e trees be sprayed with the proper oil to destroy the Cottony scale before it ruins the trees in this city of fine shade. The oil should be put on with the right kind of a spray and by one who understands just how to do it for all the scale must be destroyed if the Dees are to be saved —and its. iiiigli4i impor J" that they be saved. Merchants let s have a ~oliar day during August and September. If it isn't a great big success, we promise you never to mention it again. It ought to make good weeks out of otherwise slow ones, it ought to benefit everybody in the community and it ought to be a real producer of good will. Buy your Chautauqua tickets this w-eek. Why put it off when you know you are going to do it? If you will take up your supply now it will be most encouraging, will assure more pep in the program and will help the committee, in numerous ways. Three dollars will secure you a season ticket for the big Chautauqua and guarantee you six days of the finest kind of Entertainment. Get your tickets now. It will help the committee. Mr. and Mrs. Woollen are just Indiana folks and those who met them today were impressed with their simplicity and their cordiality. Mr. Woollen will return later in the campaig nand when he does should be heard by every voter for he is a thinker and will put you straight on many problems. That was some dandy early morning crowd this morning and the visitors were delighted. According to reports ths meetings over the county were also well attended and the enthusiasm was not lacking. It’s a good sign at this early date of the campaign. —o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

And I'll never see the garments he may wear, But I cannot go the strutter who just looks you through and through With that "better for I’m richer" sort of air. We're all In this world together headed deathward, soon or late, And the humblest may be angels over there. And tlrbre’s none of us so favored or so very truly great That the’friendship of another he can spare. So 1 cannot go the strutter who returns good will with hate And that arrogant and self-important air.

FIRE INSURANCE RATE BOOST SEEN State Fire Marshal Predicts Increase In Indiana And Other States Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 11. —(United Press) —The possibility of an early boost in fire insurance rates is seen by Alfred Hogsdon. state fire marshal. Hogsdon said today that it is “very probable” that the rates will be increased in Indiana and other states. He recommended elimination of fire hazards as a means of preventing a rate increase, pointing out that in many cases where a new block of buildings is constructed old frame buildings are left standing nearby. This increases the fire hazard of the new buildings and is reflected in the insurance rates that must be paid, Hogsdon said. An order was issued recently by the fire marshal’s office for the tearing down ot several fire hazards at Marion, including several structures that were landmarks of the city. Investigators of the arson division ot the department have Just uncovered a firebug ring of small boys at New Albany who caused heavy damage through their desire to see the fire trucks speed down the street. Other investgators are probing the origin of several recent fires in Indianapolis, several of which bore the marks of biug started by fir e bugs. |

Quite a number of his brethern arose and said they were glad they had been present on this occasion and that they were pleased with the sound sermon they had just heard and felt their aoufs greatly blessed.

Eva Whitley Man Tells Strange Story To Police In Hollywood Ix>s Angeles, August 10.—'(United Press) —Hollywod police today were trying to decide the tale of John Bacso, told to a desk sergeant after it was all over. • According to Basco, he was stopped, in one of Hollywood's boulevards last night by a "two-gun girl.” wearing an opera cloak said to be black, who demanded that he drive her to Highland and Franklin streets. Bacso says he did as directed, whereupon the girl stepped from his car, dropped a vanity case, bent to recover it, and, as her cloak slipped from her shoulders, revealed hrsel( nude and twenty-two years old. Then, inurmurings: "Untrue to me—l’ll kill him," Bacso said his godlva slipped into the dark ness, leaving him puzzled. o
