National Advertising Representatives SCHEERRE, INC. 36 East Wacker Drive, Chicago <l6 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dallies The state police force sent here last week seemed to enjoy the fair as much as any one. They never had a chance to show their speed. The president enjoyed his regu- ' lar fishing trip to the Rapidan camp and spent his entire time in relaxing, no conferences being scheduled. Now cnmes the time for the political campaign and it is expected to ' warm up the next week or two in every county in the state including old Adams. 1 The crowd liked the fair and ' didn't go home until the lights were ■ turned off at midnight Saturday. : It was a gay play time and the Legion boys did a good job of it. Chicago has finally been knock- ' cd from first plane in the National league race for the pennant and it ' looks like a finish between St. Louis and Brooklyn. Its a great battle these days. Maurice Early of the Indianap- 1 olis Star is running Congressman Louis Ludlow of the seventh district for vice-president which is not ‘ such a bad idea, but Louie shouldn't 1 take it too seriously coming from 1 Maurice. 1 Senator Watson says the de- 1 pression is world-wide and Senator 1 Robinson says Raskob caused it by 1 bringing about the stock crash. I Well, the tariff la-v they recently passed hasn't helped it any that we can see, whatever the cause. ' Vacations and the street fair are 1 over and its time to settle down 1 to real business. This county has i had a good crop and we are really 1 in better condition than for several 1 years. Let s all go after business and progress as we should. Every body got a thrill out of the f Legion parade as we always do when the boys in uniform, carrying the colors so dear to every American go past with a whoopee, i That's the way they marched to ; front and went over. The Legion boys, aided by the sheriff, the marshal and the police, did a job of controlling the crooked concessioners and when they objected to leaving peaceably the stand men found their lights cut off and their stand in darkness. — - uaai i, —...-— That the wets are gaining in popularity is best- evidenced by the fact that almost each day candi-i dates for congress and the senate are announcing their allegiance to Took Soda for Stomach for 20 Years "For 20 years I look soda for Indigestion and stomach gas, Then I tried Adlerika. One bottle brought complete relief.” —Jno. B. Hardy. , Adlerika relieves GAS and sour stomach in TEN minutes! Acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing poisons you never knew i were there. Don't fool with medl-’ cine which c’eans only PART of the bowels, but let Adlerika give stomach and bowels a REAL cleaning and see how good you feel! B. J. Smith Drug Co.

!• o TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.PJ ♦ London. — Ixivers for more | than 50 years, James Henry I Penfold, 73. and Miss Sarah 1 Pring. 69, have married. * ~ * that cause. When the politicians start to getting on the wagon they i usually have had their ears to the ground. z Senator Watson says there are twenty-five democratic senators in whom he believes in more than he does the fourteen "Irregulars" who sit on side of the chamber. Sure thing. Jim, you can always trust a democrat farther. Fall shopping is now going on and the merchant who Is alive and who wishes his share will not wait any longer to invite the public to his store. An advertisement in the Daily Democrat will reach about 20,000 shoppers in this radius. Dr. Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League says he will rally his forces to meet the activities of the wets, so the fight is evidently not over by any means. We never thought it was for when the opponents to intoxicants arouse, they fight to a finish and then some. The fair is over and about every one excepting those who tried to get something for nothing, are satisfied. Trying to beat the other fellow's game is always a tough proposition and we have never seen a fair any where, any time, that you couldn't get a good skinning if you looked for it. Legion night at the fair was a howling success and the boys and every one else seemed to enjoy themselves. Its a good thing to cut loose and yell once in a while and a lot of folks took the opportunity to do so Saturday night. The l parade was a thriller and the big crowd had a good time until midnight. The republicans can get chestyover present conditions if they want to but we doubt if they will be able to, convince the voting public they are entirely 'satisfactory. We doubt if most people living today tan recall a tougher period than that of the past year and it takes nerve to offer a defense for it. Better begin offering apologies. The opening of road No. 27 through Berne will be celebrated tomorrow night with a parade led by the Dunbar band and with speeches by several, including a representative of the state commission. For several years‘the improvement of the road was held up because of a disagreement as to the route but this is out of the road and you can now travel over the road and enjoy it. The program is sponsored by the Berne Witness with O. F. Gilliom, president of the Berne Chamber of Commerce in charge and the public is invited to participate.
