SMOKE at Democratic headquar-’ ters Monday night. VOTE FOR JUDGE DE VOSS ON THE STATE TICKET. I Join the crowd and enjoy the rally at Bluffton tonight. The safe way to vote if you want to know your vote will count is to make an X in the circle containing the rooster. Come to Democratic headquarters Monday night for the final round up of workers and a smoker. A good program and a busy session. Organization for work at the polls in the various precincts is being completed. Join them on election day. Help get the vote and do all you can to see that they j vote right. I

It won't be long now. The cam- ( paign is practically closed and we vote. Will we support Governor Townsend and President Roosevelt or will we turn down those who have fought our battles successfully? miaawaßOED For years the Democrats of Ad-. ams county have concluded the campaign with a smoker at headquarters here. This will be done again this year, Chairman Nelson has announced. You are cordially ’ invited to headquarters to smoke ; a cigar and listen to the speeches. , i Congressman Farley can continue to help the people of this ' district and will if reelected* next ' . Tuesday as his friends believe he ,' will. You gain absolutely nothing by defeating him but you do in- i terfere with the continued improve- i ment of this district in numerous ways. I i Keep the ball rolling on the Krick-Tyndall fund campaign. The ' sooner we complete this, the soon- ' er work will start and the owners : of the plant must know within a few days what to do and how to , proceed. Less than a thousands . dollars is needed to finish one of the most important jobs ever undertaken here. The reelection of Senator Van ! Nuys is admitted, even by the Republican leaders, perhaps not openly but confidentially. Mr. Willis has made a long campaign but the people feel sure they will be better represented by the experienced and able Van Nuys. Indications i favor a great Democratic victory next Tuesday. Many from here plan to attend the Democratic rally at Bluffton tonight. Samuel Jackson of Fort Wayne will give the address 1011-| owing a big parade. Those who' have heard Mr. Jackson declare ; his message the most convincing

of any speaker in the middle west in this campaign. It will be a great closing of the campaign for this section. Decatur is going ahead rapidly. Adams county is prospering, we have new schools, fine roads and streets, many other improvements ! and much of this we owe to the state and national and local ad- ! ministrations. If we are wise, we ! will continue It by voting in supJ port of those who have done these things for us. Tuesday is the day. Make no mistakes. The public schools at Dayton. I Ohio have closed indefinitely because they are out of funds. That's a sad situation and one that can-; not occur in Indiana under present . laws for the state here looks after J these conditions. The fine schools l in Decatur and over Adams county, as well as all over the state, indicate the success of new laws ■ which have elevated Indiana to first place in the nation as to public schools. We present to you today a page j showing the pictures and names of the county candidates on the Dem- , erratic ticket with an invitation I to vote for them. We are proud to I join them asking that you support | the administrations, local, state, and national, fighting a great batI tie that we may all be happier. Tc do this on a sound basis is no light task and can only be done if you ; show confidence In them by supporting the ticket next Tuesday, i A few days ago the Chicago Tribune carried a feature showing the picture of Senator Van Nuys at the editorial meeting at French Lick a year ago and another show- , hig his smiling face after he re- . ! ceived the nomination at the Democratic state convention. Between these two pictures they showed a 1 ' large bottle, tabbed Dr. Townsend's ; ; tonic. A glance shows that the I medicine worked and the election

next Tuesday will prove recovery I complete. We are peculiar people in this country. We demanded that President Roosevelt do something to better conditions. He did so with the support of congress. Now those who helped him help the common people are being pointed out as "rubber stamps." Don't be foolish. Vote for Mr. Farley who stands well in Washington, has the advantage of experience and acquaintanceship and can do- ten times more for you and the other people of the fourth congressional ' district under these conditions. | than any one we know of. Next week comes another Nov- [ ember 11. The bugles will blow “Taps.” Middle-aged men and women will weep. If we face east — east across the Atlantic —east toward Europe—east toward the Orient—what do we see? Men are marching again. Sons and fathers are dying on a score of war fronts. Women are weeping over there. The pledged word is again just a "scrap of paper" and the spirit of War and conquest is in the saddle. That's what we see when we face east on Armistice Day in 1938. America never looked more beautiful than now. I'm no mystic, but somehow I get the feeling that ' this nation, built up on the most I beautiful continent in the world, is I headed toward a destiny greater than we can yet realize. When half the world is crazy with drunkenness of grab and conquer, we are working steadily ahead to learn how to progress in peace. Let’s be sure we stay that way! It may not be easy. But it's the right way. Here in America we’ve got work | to do, and let's not let anybody ! interrupt it, or drag us into any mix-up with the crazy men of Europe. And if any of them try to bring their wars over here, either by helmeted men or by slick-ton-gued emissaries, let's not waste any time deciding what to do . That's what comes through my j

PARENTS, CHILDREN AND SEX Are you. Mother, Father, confronted with the difficult problem of satisfying the natural curiosity of your youngsters about the facts of sex? Do you feel competent to discuss such problems with your children? Or are you just taking the easiest way and "hush, hushing!” them? Recognizing the woeful lack of clean, comprehensive, scientific I information on the facts of sex. and the difficulties faced by grownI ups in discussing such problems with their children of all ages, our Washington Service Bureau has prepared a 24-page booklet SEX j INSTRUCTION, that contains a frank discussion of the scientific . facts of sex in simple English for the instruction of parents, and i their children.

Household Scrapbook | j By Roberta Lee ,i Brighten Rugs Go over the surface of the rugs with a scrubbing brush dipped lightly into warm water containing a little spirits of turpentine or household ammonia, aud this will brighten them wonderfully. Soot Stains Anything that has become stained by soot should be covered with salt and then brushed off with a stiff brush. Do not use water on a soot stain.

For the information of the citiz ens of the township, in April of last year the public works administration offered to give Root township $32,521 for aM on the construction of the addition to the Monmouth school house. THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTED. ROOT TOWNSHIP IS PAYING FOR EVERY CENT OF THE COST. Any one reading the newspapers aud speeches of our president, congressmen and administration leaders could see the new program of relief unfolding for at least three months before it culminated in the new federal enactments of last spuing. This failure to accept the funds offered the tax payers of Root township causes them to make up a deficit of 45 percent of the total cost of our new school buildings out of OUR OWN POCKETS. This means we will have to pay the entire cost of $45,000 for our buildings. Bonds have been issued for this sum and we must pay interest on it. Why wasn't the 45 percent free grant from the government accepted? 1 should like to know why both local assessments and local taxes are increasing in Root township. The local assessments in 1935 totaled $1,705,594. Today, four years later, in Root township they are $1,868,891. Our Root tonship tax rate in a four year period jumped from $1.45 in 1936 to $1.77 for taxes payable in 1939. We understood the new I school building would effect a savings from a transfer stand point or at least no increase in cost. Why is it under the last four years administration of Root township, with better conditions and the help of the new WPA, NYA. CCC and other federal programs poor relief expenditures have in- | creased as follows: Spent Spent 1931— 689.90 1935-$1,569.97 1932— $1,048.66 1936—$ 885.06 1933— $1,537.38 1937—51,811.18 ' 1934—51,488.57 1938—51,578.56 I Total $4,764.41 Total $5,844.77 Taxpayers can and should figure where they stand and know that ' if there are no further changes in tax rates, this township will pay $3,363.93 additional annually that would be paid by federal funds i and is similarly paid in other mini- | icipalities where federal funds have been generously provided. The special school and bond rates are 39 cents per hundred 1 greater for the next tax year of 1939 than for 1938. • An Independent Voter.
