Perhaps after all we are more fortunate here than we have been feeling we were. Tuesday, October 19th —Dairy Day and a special invitation is extended to every farmer in this part of the country to ait'nd. How ahou it? Have you registered? There ate several hundred in the county who have not and we Just happen) d to think that list might include you and that would be too bad for we know you are a good citizen who would not knowingly disfranchise yourself. Hurry! Six weeks from tomorrow is election day and in the meantime there is much to be. done in the way of organization and presenting the issues. You are invited to drop up to democratic headquartera and talk ft over with Dick Heller, the county chairman. He has a duty for every one. The pepole of Adams county will assist the committees In carrying out the plans for the dedication of Elephant Rock in memory of the late Gene Stratton Porter, much of whose most important work was done in this county. The details will be arranged soon and the date announced. We urge you to support those who will ' thus labor. Saturday evening, October 2nd, Hon I Evans Woollen, of Indianapolis, will address the voters of Adams county at the court room. He is. as you all know’ the democratic candidate for the short term for United States senator and he is a sound, sensible and plain talking gentleman worth hearing on the important political issues. We urge you to hear this speech, one of the headlini of the campaign. If the democrats elect a senate and congress this year they will immediately after they a.sxime power next March pass a tax reduction law and a bill reducing the tariff. They will not interfere with any schedule necessary to make times good but they will not permit those powerful men in Washington to work the hoax on them that these price raising schedules are necessary. Its time to look the problem squarely in the face and meet it. Valuations of property in Indiana have been increased thirty-five million dollars this year. Think of it voters. Ey what right can property values be increased. That’s why they are talking about a decrease in the state tax rate for with the increased valuation a twenty-four cent rate will raise approximately the same amount of cash as the twenty-eight cent rate did this year. The state will again have fifty million dollars to spend ae compared to an average of eight million under the Ralstqn administration. If you want that kind of a program continued just keep on voting for it. One of the most important political jobs during a campaign is that of precinct committeeman. It is up to these precinct workers to see that the poll is taken, that every one is registered, that the issues are presented and that the vote is out on election day. It is also a patriotic service for there is no salary attached but upon the efforts of these men and their women assis ants depends the results on election day. Its largely* up to them

Major Andrews has consented Ito remain in office as dry czar until 1 I Christmas and with the aid of the jpostofftve and other departments of government expects to have the counItry extremely _-,rid by that time. It nmy be, but we ll tell the world, they have something to do. 1 The finance, program, advertising, .barbecue committees named for Dairy L Day will meet early this week, orl,canize and proceed to get busy.
