His personality, influence and splendid example will be missed by the entire state. The Adams county grand jury completed Its session last Satur-' day, returned four indictments, made the annual investigation of the county Infirmary and jail and I adjourned. The grand jurors praisInd Harvey LaFountaine, superintendent of the county farm for the I splendid conditions existing there and also commended Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth for the fine manner in whch the jail Is kept.

Death has removed one of the community’s life-long and beloved, i citizens in the person of John B. , Meibi rs, who answered the final] i summons Sunday evening. For I ' more than 40 years "Beecher,” as !he was affectionately known to , hundreds, was connected with the j Schafer Hardware company and [was active in community and lodge | affairs while he lived. He had a ■ fine sense of humor and made many [friends through a lovable person-' ality. He lived his three score and ten yi ars in this community and was a member of one of the pioneer families of Adams county. Attaining success and popularity is one thing—retaining success and I popularity is another —as illustrat|ed by the career, or lack of one. of Billy Montgomery. At one time Montgomery and his wife, the former Florence Moore, formed a famous vaudeville team that drew a weekly salary of $1,500. then the highest amount ever paid a vaudeville team. Last week Montgomery was sent to prison for six months to 2 years for the theft of fur cuffs valued at $3. And this . wrfs -bat a repetition of offenses of a similar nature, otherwise his sentence would not have been so high. Many times people in time of prosperity fail to provide for possible adversity that may come to them, I' li —Columbia City Post. The community was saddened to-I day because of the death of Martin . ( Jaberg, excellent young man of I this city and former auditor of Ad-' ants county. Stricken ill only a ' week ago Saturday, his friends, al- | though realizing the seriousness of j his case, were hoping for his re-. covery and his death Sunday morn-1 ing came as a shock to all. “Mart” was known to practically everyone in Adams county. He made friends and staunch admirers because when asked to serve, he did the job in a satisfactory and upright manner, jHe loved school and college athI letics, was a booster for these acI tivities, served his church on important committees and was just the kind of a fellow who made friends because he was likable and wanted to help. As county auditor his record of eight years in that important capacity is one of the splendid pages in the county’s official history. He had ambition, made good in the service of Uncle Sam as mail carrier and dispatcher, taught school in Adams county and his ability as an accountant and auditor was recognized ten days ago with an appointment as fi Id examiner on the state board of accounts. By his loving wife land children he will be misted j | greatly, but none the less by his ■ host of friends in this community. I German Steamer Sinks Hamburg, Germany, Nov. 21.— I (U.R) — The German steamer Luise ■ i Leonhard! was reported wrecked j today. Her crew of 30 were said; Ito I>2 drowned.

How He Got His Name

Santa Claus Speaking: Santa Claus is a pet name for St. Nicholas and was first used in Holland perhaps six hundred years ago. And in those days, in Holland. Santa Claus used a white horse. When Santa Claus Began to bring German toys he was furnished a tree to hang them on. Then the good people of Norway and Sweden gave Santa Claus his reindeer and hung on their trees lights in honor of the northern lights so frequently seen and so bright in their part of the world. Few folks have seen reindeer, and the real live reindeer used by Santa Claus differ much from the pictures you so frequently see. The legs of the real reindeer are much shorter than those you see in pictures and are not nearly so tall nor so slender as they are drawn in pictures. The children of Adams county will be glad to see Santa's reindeer. For some time the merchants
