WILLIAM H. ADE DIES IN CHICAGO

BROTHER OF PLAYWRIGHT EXPIRES SUDDENLY IN CHICAGO FRIDAY A. M.

William H. Ade, of- Kentland, one of the best known citizens of northwestern Indiana, died suddenly at 9:30 o’clock Friday morning at Henrotin hospital in Chicago, the Word of his death being sent to Lafayette by his brother, George Ade, of Brook, who was .at home when the news reached him. It was a great shock to the entire Newton county community, as well as to the countless friends through Tippefriends through Jasper and other counties in this part of the state.

Mr. Ade had been in poor health for several years, a fall from a bob*sled nearly six years ago having left him virtually an Jnyalid, He injured his spine and later heart trouble developed. Ten days ago he went to the Chicago hospital to submit to a gall bladder operation. He appeared to be recovering but Friday morning a sinking spell set in and he died an hour later.

For many years Mr. Ade had been conspicuous in the affairs of Newton county. Born in that county 61 years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ade, both now deceased, he was educated in the public schools, after which he took up farming. He was successful in this work and even more so in. the field of horse breeding, in which he specialized for many years. He ' served as treasurer of Newton county .and in 1914 ran for congress from the Tenth Indiana district on the progressive ticket. He was an ardent admirer of Theodore Roosevelt and one of the leaders of the Progressive party in Indiana. Mr. Ade Was married 35 years ago to Miss Katie Shepard, of Goodland, and the widow and three children survive, the children being: Mrs. J. D. Rathbun, Ardis and Roland Ade, all of Newton county. Another son, John, died a year and a half ago. Mrs. Rathbun’s husband is a Purdue graduate, clas of 1910/ Mr. Ade also leaves the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. John W. Randall, of' Washington, D. C.; Mrs- John G. Davis, of Kentland; Joseph Ade and George Ade, of Brook; Mrs. Warren T. McCray, of Kentland. Mrs. McCray’s husband -is the republican candidate for governor of Indiana. Mr. Ade’s mother died in 1907, his father in 1914. . r Mr. Ade was not only a successful farmer and a progressive thinker, but was noted for his dry wit and humor which was much in evidence when he conducted his campaign for congressman. He. was deeply interested in advanced farming methods and in good citizenship and was-greatly devoted to his home and family. All through his years of sickness he remained cheerful and courageous and manifested his usual interest in public affairs. Mr. Ade was an active member of the Methodist church and belonged to the Knights of Pythias. The funeral will be conducted at Kentland Sunday afternoon at 2:80 o’clock; burial in the Kentland cemetery.

DEMOCRTIC WOMEN HOLD MEETING

The Women’s School of Citizenship- which met in regular session Friday afternoon in the court house at 2:30 was both encouraging and profitable: encouraging in that the large attendance showed the increasing interest which women are taking in their new responsibilities as voters and interesting because of important civic facts presented by Mrs. Eib in an interesting manner which brought to the attention of every member present a realization of their needs of becoming more familiar with the machinery of government. Attention was called to the fact that, although every person is familiar with the presidential candidates, comparatively few can tell the name of the different candidates for the important office of Senator and Representative or what stand they take on some of the great issues of the day. One of the subjects of great interest today is that of the enforcement of the prohibition amendment and if we are indifferent to the importance of electing a congress in harmony with our ideals we must not complain if our ideals are not carried out in the next congress. The names of officials of the national government were given and a suggestion that the class acquaint themselves with the records of these men that they might judge for themselves rather than take the judgment of their critics; also, that they might appreciate . more fully the newspaper articles concerning them. Mrs. John Randle of Sayre, Okla., was present and other visitors from distant parts of the county. We are always glad to .welcome these fellow citizens and all other women who t wish to hear a friendly discussion of the great questions of the day from the Democratic standpoint. We are all patriotic American .citizens and if we, differ in our manner of fulfilling our duties as such there is no reason for bitter feeling. The next lesson which will be a study of the Democratic and Republican platforms will be conducted by Mrs. A. E. Shafer the first Friday in July. ___ MRS. JOHN I. GWIN.

A MOST INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE MEETING

M. A. Gray and Arthur Gray of Remington, George Scott, A. S. Laßue, Conrad Kellner, Ralp Riley, John Culp and Ray Laßue of this city, returned Friday from Indianapolis where they attended the convention of the R. L. Dollings Company. There were approximately five Hundred people gathered at the Claypool Hotel to attend the greatest and most enthusiastic meeting of the kind ever held in the city of Indianapolis. It was a great inspiration to Mr. Laßue’s guests and they soon learned that, in the matter of getting the idle dollar and the save investment together, the R. L. Dollings Company, affording the right kind of service, is indeed a public’ benefactor. This fact was emphasized by every speaker who took part in the two days’ program and by every investor present. Among the speakers present was Ed. Jackson, our Secretary of State, a man in position to know more about charters than anyone in Indiana. Ono of the remarks made by Mr. Jackson was this: “If all companies would put the same provisions in their charters that the R. L. Dallings Company does, to protect the investors holding their securities, there would be no need of a Blue Sky Law in the State of Indiana, or in the United States of America.’’ This is of interest to every one of us. Dollars safely invested make money for the investor; they also make business, afford employment for more people, stimulate trade and help on prosperity. Some of the other speakers on the program were Mr. Andrew Smith, Secretary *of the Indiana Bankers' Association .and Vice-President of the Indiana National Bank; Hon. J. J. Moran, Ex-Judge of the Indiana Appellate Court; Mr. Georgs D. Porter of Philadelphia and Mr. Wm. G. Benham, President of the R. L. Dollings Company.
