Hundreds of folks from every corner of this country have registered here this week, greeted old friends and made new ones. We are enjoying it all and we nope they are. The crowds are large and everybody is happy. The big program for the week has just fairly started. There will be many surprises and many pleasures for you until the last bell rings Saturday at midnight. No more beautiful or inspiring sight can be given you than that of several thousand school children marching in • parade. That was one of yesterdays program numbers and one that delighted all. After all the guessing that the vote this year would be greater than ever known along comes the Maine election with a vote so small that it has every body guessing how to guess now. Not the least benefit to be derived from such an event as that being held here this week is the publicity received and we call attention to the fact that we are receiving first page notices in many of the metropolitan newspapers and stories in leading magazines and journals. All are more than favorable and again demonstrate that back of such a celebrtion as that being given here must be real sentiment and we have the background. A wonderfully fitting climax to the dedicatory services for the Gene Stratton-Porter memorial yesterday was the introduction of two sisters of the late gifted artist. They were Mrs. Compton and Mrs. Wilson of Fort Wayne and were introduced by Mr. French Quinn who has been the most ardent supporter of Mrs. Porter in this community. Mrs. Compton made a sweet and touching talk in which she told her appreciation of the honors being paid to her beloved sister. The Maine election is over and the politicians are dissecting it to suit themselves. Os course a local election in a northeastern state has nothing whatever to do with a general election to be held in November. The democrats did not send a national speaker into Maine and the democratic candidates threw away the state platform and wrote one of their own. Under those circumstances of course the election in a republican state would be very one sided, about as fair as holding an election in Mississippi and calling it a barometor.

While the crowds surged up and down Main street and listened to the bands and the merry go-round, a few hundred people yesterday paid homage to the memory of Adams county’s best known citizen, the late Gene Stratton-Porter. On the stage were seated numerous big national and state officials as well as college men. Waltonians, leaders in various walks. The addresess by Dr. Ward, Mr. Beiderwolf, Senators W’atson and Robinson, Mr. Stump and Governor Jackson were all worth while and inspiring and _we regret that ten thousand people did not hear them. However the event was more than a success and its record will live and grow

TODAY’S CHUCKLE York. 8. C.. Sept. 12—(U.R)—When W. F. Stevenson and 8. Vance Davison, Congressional candidates arrived to address a political meeting here there was no audience. Accordingly the meeting was called off. during the coming years. This is Farm and Dairy Day of Old Home Week and thousands are here to help make it a success. This is the center of one of the greatest agricultural districts of the world and today is one of the very important sections of our big celebration. The pro gram this afternoon was under the supervision of the Cloverleaf Creameries, an institution of which we are proud and which has done much for this community. Dairying has been the mortgage lifter and the interestpayer for many, it has provided money for hundreds of farmer women, it has provided books and slates for school children and has made many a losing farm a paying one. Many things of Interest were here today for the farmer and we are assured they enjoyed it every minute.

Every school child in Adams county should know this closing paragraph of Dr. Henry B. Ward’s address dedicating Elephant Rock: “The life of her whom we honor today surely shows how we may conquer. Her way to overcome obstacles was hard, no doubt, and yet so simple. She has taught us the value of tireless industry, of unyielding perseverence and painstaking accuracy in the search for truth, of the power of team work in establishing public justice, of the value of high ideals. These are old-fashioned ideas, so simple to state, so difficult to achieve. But Gene Stratton Porter did and some way I think her success came in good part from her contact with nature. In the same way shall we succeed according to our talents, obeying the admonition of the ancient poet King which she often quoted and always lived—- “ ‘I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills whence cometh my strength.’ ’’ Among the distinguished guests who visited here today was the Hon. Frank C. Dailey, democratic candidate for governor, who spoke this afternoon at the dairy meeting. Mr. Dailey is the most popular candidate this state ha 3 had in years for he meets the requirements of the good citizens of the state for a thorough clean-up. As United States district attorney some years ago he demonstrated his ability and his desire for clean and honest government and we who knew him many years as a neighbor and a friend, realize the people of Indiana will make no mistake in electing him as governor. They should do so and should surround him with officers who will cooperate that we may restore the fair name of Indiana.

Congratulations to Mrs. Blair and to all who assisted her on giving the great pageant, "Adams county, yesterday and today.” It was a marvelous rendition of a beautiful story and the thousands who witnessed it will have the picture in their minds for years to come. The weather man frightened every body but was kind enough to keep the faucet turned off almost tight, every actor, big and little did well and the committee is deeply indebted to all of them. When a community can do such a work as this and when those who can direct such a pageant and are willing to do it without cost as a patriotic service, it is a sure sign that the comunity will grow and prosper. We have never seen a better pageant nor one more perfectly rendered and we are proud of all who took part in it. From all we have heard it was more than appreciated by all who witnessed it. o *«***««•**»•* • TWENTY YEARS AGO * • From the Dally Democrat Filo • • Twenty Yeara Ago Today “ **«««**»**««* Sept. 2—George Uailee, Amishman, who collected *154 fire insurance against rules of the church an dwas banished, files suit against Joseph A.

Get Your Dollar’s Worth GRANDMOTHER reads the latest market prices—- “ Lands sakes alive! she exclaims, “why, when I was young we didn't have to pay half so much. Yes, in “the good old days” milk sold at five cents a quart, potatoes at forty cents a bushel, sugar twenty-five pounds for a dollar, and so on. And, in “the good old days” a laborer was paid a dollar a day or possibly a dollar and a quarter. But who wants to go back to “the good old days"? Not you-not me. Prices are higher now. but wages are higher too. You pay more, but the goods you buy are of better material, they are better made, thev last longer. Even footstuffs are better. Inspection and extra care insure their quality. < The dollar can still buy a dollar's worth. Read the advertising in the newspapers and you will find that they will help your dollars go a long way. Advertising tells you where you can get full value for your money. T he young housewife of today shops even more intelligently than “grandma,” for the advertisements are her guides, they make her a competent judge of values. - — — Merchandise must be good or it couldn’t be advertised.
