MWfgffRWWBWWIMI f I ' I"IIH-H» BFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. The congressional Investigators have been named and now the public may expect to hear more about a lot -of official graft and shaky * governmental transactions, in the BallingerPinchot affair. All of which but tends to shake the confidence of the public in the character of the men connected with the affairs of state. ' ! ’ ■siy— Talk about prices, a Pennsylvania hen has just won a $12,000 prize! A great to-do is being made because somebody stole an egg which she laid in her coop at the show, and no wonder. Her eggs must rate at about SIOO each. Is it surprising that common eggs are high?—Muncie Star. President Taft is getting his—a real lovely gentle roast from the democrats and a few of the insurgents in congress. He is getting it. because he is ‘ openly opposing the selection made by the minority as representatives on the Ballinger-Pinchot committee. ' President Taft has succeeded in adding color to the declaration that the whole investigation is to be handled with a whitewash brush. In the treaty between Russia and Japan the island of Saghalien was divided between the two nations, Russia taking the north half and Japan the southern. It is now stated that Rubsia is ready to sell her part, and suggestion made that perhaps the United States might buy it on account of its proximity to Alaska. We don’t J want it, at least until the Cunning- ( ham mining claims in Alaska are sei- ; tied.—South Bend Times/ The people ot Boone county are lw bitual readers of the local newspapers. , - They depend upon . the advertisements < of merchants as a guide to their buy- ' ing. The Pioneer knows this to be true from experience. A few years ago the publisher announced thattije date of publication would be changed from Thursday to Friday, and had ‘ to withdraw the proposition in' just ( one week because of a protest on the , part of the readers throughout the county who wanted the paper on Friday that they might know where to do their trading Saturday. Local mer- 1 chants in a number of lines appreciate this medium of talking to the people of the county, but there is but one class of business men—the grocers—who are hiding their light'under a bushel, as it were, and, so far as the readers of the county papers are concerned about the only evidence that Lebanon has a grocery is an occasional complaint that the mail order houses and solicitors are killing the business. The Pioneer believes that groceries are sold as cheap in Lebanon as any place on earth, and that if the dealers would do a little judicious advertising—not rate cutting and slashing—that they would profit largely on the investment—Lebanon Pioneer. *L ■ " The boycott against the meat trust is growing rapidly throughout the country. As a matter of fact the socalled meat trust is much more than that. It is a food trust. The packers who make up the trust have secured control of enough of the fruit, vegeta- ' ble, butter, egg and fowl supply,to enable them to-fix the prices consumers must pay for those articles. The , ■> z bread trust and trust work hand in glove with the and the result is that all persons who do not produce thethlngs they eat are robbed to the limit The war of the people against the packers may bring about a little temporary -relief, but what is needed ’j the of the - food trust once for all by an honest enforcement of the anti-trust laws. There is much talk about enforcing \ the liquorlaws, the Sunday laws, and . such like, but it is about time to think \ also about the bigger things. So long toe republican party remains in Vwer. however, there is little llkehIk - - -z —r ——

hood that the trusts—even the food trust—Win be hurt After all, the bal- ‘ lot be more effective than the boycbtt. It will be remembered that whsn the meat trust was “Investigated” dur ing the Roosevelt administration it was given a certificate of innocence so , fy as its prices and profits were concerned and what amounted an apology was tendered the packers tor prying Into their financial affairs. They were told, however, that they must dean up their packing houses, and as a result the people have been paying about >34)00,000 for Inspectors ever > But the meat trust has been skinning the country wlthbut any sort of interruption, from the federal authorities to the present day. The people have reason to be skeptical of the government’threat to “bring the meat trust to time.” In no country on earth would a fool trust be allowed to exist except in the United States, and it exists here solely because the whole policy of the republican party has been of a sort to encourage such a thing. Permanent relief from the exactions of the food trust and other trusts will not come until there is a complete change of parties and policies at Washington. MARKET REPORT East Buffalo, N.

The class was organized more than five years ago by \the pastor, the Rev. H- C. J aus, and meets every Tuesday evening during the winter months, beginning about Thanksgiving time and continuing until tffe boys’ time is consumed by the rush of spring work on the farm, when the meetings are discontinued again until the long winter evenings. The class has no regular name, but as the Rev. Jaus says, the name may be taken from their motto, of purpose, which "te that of creating sociability and*a love sot the arts that contribute to the beautifying of the home. And such is the purpose accomplished as a visit toi their buildings on the church grounds Tuesday evening, during one of» their meetings, showed. There are two buildings for the clhss, one for the boys and one for the girls. The boys’ room is fitted up as A carpenter’s workshop, with all the. fine tools used by an expert cabinet or art worker In wood needs. Here, tinder tfie direction of the Rev. jaiis, assisted by Professor Vjon Renner; principal of St John’s school, are all the various articles, such as medicine cafcinets, mirror frames, chests — both, labge and small—tabourets—and any article of uee And beauty in the home—are designed and cut from the wood ft the boys. After The pieces .are out and fashioned, many elaborately with scroll work, others with plain, rich lines, they are taken to the gfrte’ building, where ornamental designs are made on them, aqd outlined with pyrography. . .. The-pieces are then returned to the boys where the designs are carved out, and when finished, stand out in rich relief, making a pifece of art equal to that of the best wopd cdrvers in the country, and it would not be surprising to find in the years so come that these young people had daid the beginning of a great add useful career to this work 4n ttfclr classes at St. John’s. After . Jl— wm

i SRerVThg the pieces are again re- [. turned to the girls, where they are further finished with the pyrography needles, "bringing out the rich designs stiff more clearly. Then comes the finishing by the boys. The pieces are a joined and articles stained and finlsh- •- ed to bring out the grain of the wood, t of'which only best oak Is used. Ail 0 members work the pieces and when finished -each one gets an artlL * cle completed.- Some time ago a l * beautiful medicine cabinet, of exquis- - ite workmanship, was made and given to the Lutheran hospital at Fort t Wayne, and other fine pieces made and given as special gifts. The class 8 has just- completed a very fine mirror s frame for the church sacresfry. The r frame is made in' the' old' cross style 1 and decorated in relief with emblet matlcal figures telling the "old, old story”—picturing the star of hope, the thorns, the bread" and wine. At ' present the class is working on fine J wall cabinets for their own members t and have already finished A number, j These cabinets are made o/the finest t oak, with two book shelves and a closed-door cabinet shelf between. They are exquisitely carved in relief, - ornamented with pyrography and fin--1 ished with a brown, stain. The doors are hung with brass hinges and fln- , ished in brass, and all in all, makes a cabinet worthy of appearing in one ' of the best homes in the [and. The 1 class has already outlined the work . for next year. The specialty for,next year will be a “dowery” chest, and the , pastor already has the parts made for a sample, which wlll.be completed in about two weeks. The chest is made alter the old German style, plain and , rich, and large enough to serve as a seat, besides holding the linen, cloth- . ing and whatever the owner may de- . sire, add will be by far the best piece attempted by the class. The chest will be of oak, the corners bound with heavy plates of brass, a brass cross for the top, and brass caps for the corners of the* lid, adding both strength and beauty. While working on the larger cabinets and 1 pieces, 1 the class also fihdp time for smaller pieces, such as wood plaques 1 for hanging on the wall, on which 1 are burned fancy letlers, a "motto or ' proverb. The members of the alasq change from tiqe to time—old ones leaving and new ones coming. The class at present includes the follow Ing: Misses Emma Heckman, Mai < - tha, Eda and Anna Bultemeier, Lydia Getting, Johanna Jaebker, Dor# Brandtmueller, Clara Berning, Bertha : Zwick and Alvena Malland, the girts Who fib ths sketching sLndl pyrography decorating. The boys airdi WOOd todr- ■ vers — Martin Heckman, Henry ' Schoppmann, Fred Berning, Martin Aumann, Theodore Droege, JuliuS and Paul Scheumann, John Witte; sawyer, . Otto Bdheumann; piece or cabinet joiners, working with the pastor and teacher, Erhardt Bradtmueller, Herman Malland, Otto Kleine; hardware ; and cabinet finisher, Gustave Fuhr- ' man. “ . ‘ Nearly all the members were presr ent Tuesday evening, with a number of visitors besides. Among .the visit- : ors were: Theodore Miller of Jdil- ■ Waukee, Wls., a guest of the pastor; Louise Zwick, Ida and Emma Dirkson, Jessie and Harold Magley. The organization is a most worthy one and a Worthy reflectipn of the great interest taken by the pastor in his life work. Rev. Jaus is a man of great refinement, high ideals and earnest and by his careful teaching and sympathetic association with the younger people of the church, is draw1 Ing them into a firm and close union ’ with that great body of which they ’ will some day be the 'head. Thedastor, working among the boys and girls ! at tfie carpenter tables and. work ’ benches, witn here a word of instruc- ’ tibn and there a suggestion, and ’ Ing time for all this in the midst ’ the v many laborious duties resting ’ upon him as pastor of this large and 1 flourishing parish, is suggestive of notfiing so much as a following in ; the footsteps of the great faster, who also worked at the carpenter’s bench ! while preparing the way for those about him for entrance into the Eter1 nal Kingdom. L k . —— The Dally Democrat’s great aut(> ‘ mobile voting contest Is less than two , weeks old, but it is already able to . “sit up and take considerable no- - tice. 1 ’ I The hiibtle for votes is on in ear- > nest; and yet the contest is Only bes gun. It is not too late to get in and 1 win. J, Look over the list and see if your i name appears therein. If not, send 1 in your name at once and solicit the I assistance of your friends. The high - votes are few; there are several big i prizes and more to follow. Those » who are right down at the bottom can 1 easily get up to the top with a few - hours' work. * » Jump in and there will be some surI prises lh next week’s bulletin. I Over .fifty# persons are striving hard ; to get the lead and win the prize bfi fared by the greatest paper in Adams : county. The rivalry to just getting under x.

[that great 6 interest Is being 8 evidenced 1 not only by people of Decatur but of eyery sectloh of this and ad--1 joining counties as well; that a ffon--1 ulne appreciation of what The Dally Democrat has. to offer generally pre- , vails and that there are energetic people who are not afraid, to devote the' little time necessary t» win one of these valuable Awards. Most of the districts are well rep; seated and as "the contest goes on the vote will bb kept up to the minute as nearly as possible the management toj bring about this result. The contest is still young. In fact jt. is almost in its very inception and no<one should be disappointed. Nominate yourself today and get your friend to working for you. Each yearly subscriber will count 10,000 votes in this popular race. It won’t require very much of an effort to head the list It is possible that the win l ' ner of any of these prizes has not yet been entered. It is not too late to send in your name. If you enter you may carry away a prize which is worth while. It will pay you tkj hustle and get your friends to work for yon. j ? ' '/r ,<■ Most desirable things fire not won without a fight ,and a demonstration of just a little more energy, a little more enterprise than the other party is able to muster, is sure to make you a winner in, the end. - The last earthly rites for Mrs. Lewis Goldtiter were performed this afternoon by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, the fundral service'-being held from the home and from the Preble Lutheran church of which she was a faithful member. The were laid to rest in the churchyard cemetery. — ;s — o ———' \ GREAT DROP IN EGGS. F. V.
