National Advertising Representatives SCHEERRE, INC. 36 East Wacker Drive, Chicago <l6 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana league of Home Dallies SELECTING A STATE CHAPLAIN: The name of the Rev. H. H. Fcrntheil, soldier, splendid citizen and pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city will be offered to the state convention of the American Legion at Fort Wayne by Adams Post No. 43, as a candidate for the office of state chaplain of the American Legion. Those who know Rev. Ferntheil see in him just the man for this dignified and honored office. A gentleman of the cloth and zealous in Ills work, Rev. Ferntheil was a plain “doughboy” during 1917 and 1918 and saw service in France. In practice he’s a fine a soldier as ever donned the khaki uniform end in civilian life he still carries out those principles of service, taught so rigidly in the army—country first and self second. Now ‘ts country, church, home and comhunity with the former army boy and lie has never been found wanting in answering or fulfilling any of these exacting duties. Adams Post has made a splendid selection in offering his name to tlie state convention and the office of chaplain could not be graced by a finer or more worthy gentleman than the Decatur minister. We realize that the office carries a certain dignity with it and that is one of the reasons why we would like to see Rev. Ferntheil occupy it. He is a man of conspicuous desert, qualified in every respect and the local post would have overlooked one of the most deserving men in the state for the office to which they wish to see him elevated had it not proposed his name. The least the state convention can do is to give due consideration to the candidacy of the Decatur minister, sponsored by Adams Post ot the American Legion. The State Farm Bureau is asking every northern Indiana farmer to give a bushel of corn, the best they have for seed purposes, to be distributed among the droughtstricken farmers in southern Indiana. Os course that’s fine and we do not doubt that most of those who can, will be glad to help out, but doggoned if it looks just fair

to us. The farm relief board, an

organization supposed to be used for such purposes is spending millions of dollars in traveling expenses, printing propaganda and otherwise, and we wonder why they don't use enough of it to buy a little corn for sefd purposes. The average fanner hasn’t had sufficient relief to make him feel very generous and the idea of "mooching’’ off him just because they can, while money is wasted for other purposes, doesn't seem to us like a "fair shake." ITesldent Hoover lias given up his vacation plans and will devote himself to the work ot furnishing relief to the drought stricken reRemember It's like new when we’re through Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing.

The loss of crops has caused a serious loss to many who were poverty stricken before and there is as much need for aid in those sections as there ever was in flood, fire or other catastrophes, though perhaps not so much is said about it. Indiana's corn crop is estimated at only 61 per cent, of normal, the loss being attributed to the recent drought. County Agent Archbold estimates the crop in this county at 80 per cent, of normal, which shows that the crop will be a little better than over the rest of the state. This county was favored with a couple of rains which were of great value and probably saved the corn from more serious loss. Step on the gas, you are letting your business drag and there is absolutely no reason for doing it. People are living, are buying, are reading advertisements and taking advantage of what the other fellows are doing. The sooner you snap out of it, the sooner the rest of the community will. The young fellow arrested down in Kentucky on the charge of bombing non union men in the coal field admits he has been trying in various ways to raise money with which to finance a trans-Atlantic trip. They might sentence him to that on a foggy day. Stock values took another dip yesterday, the bears being active and trading was brisk. The bottom evidently has not been reached and values will more than likely get back to the basis of earning power before they get any better. The net taxable valuation in Adams County is $33,402,084, an increase of $71,907, over last year, which is proof that this county has not gone backward and that it is a pretty safe investment to own property here. You can help business by advertising—your business—our business and every one else's business. TOCSIN NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Jas.

The sediment will sink to the bottom, and the liquid can be used many times.
