The law is being ‘ „ u • '1 enforced as one means of combating 1 the attacks on young girls by morons j I ‘ who seem to be infesting the city j and doing harm to them.

Something is worrying the Indiana republicans. Just when we thought that the republican papers were all 3et to claim the election, along they 1 come with the announcement that 200 high-powered speakers will be lent into this state to drum up enthusiasm for the republican candidates. Word must have bone out that Senators Watson apd Robinson are not traveling a rosy path and that they need help. Let ’em come and let ’em talk. The average farmer knows that the last session of congress of which Watson and Robinson were toted as being ace high members had ample opportunity to pass farm relief legislation or make revisions in the tariff if they wanted to. A meeting of the Indiana directors of the Benjamin Franklin highway association will be held at Huntington next Frida* for the purpose of completing organization plans and taking up matters in the Interest of 1 the coast to highway. Delegates 1 from those cit es and towns through I which the highway is routed will attend the meeting and John H. Williamson, of Findlay, national president of she association will preside. W. A. 5 Lower, president of the Adams County ' highway association will attend and 5 represent this county and will also ! pay over to the state treasurer the 1 amount of money raised from member- [ ships in this county. A few more 1 than 200 members have been secured in this county, which amount does f

Adams county wants the Benjamin Franklin highway, and. the people, we believe will do ' verything that is expected of them to assure its routing through this county. ++++++++++*++++* ♦ BIG FEATURES * + of.
