In the nomination of Hugh Th. Miller for United States Senator the Republican party has placed before the voters of Indiana one of its very strongest men. He represents the highest type of Indiana citizen. In him is combined the scholar, business man and statesman. At this time of constant clamor for reform, Mr. Miller is the kind of man that should occupy" important official position. Not every man who cries "Reform, Reform," is a reformer. It requires a man like Mr. Miller to detect the spurious, from the genuine reform. Mr. Miller is a man of comprehensive mind, wide experience and free from personal selfishmess and prejudice. With such men as he in legislative bodies throughout the country, there would be less occasion to complain of mislegislaiftion. Mr. Miller if elected to the
United States Senate would stand for the best there is in American ^politics,
With the Democratic party's misImanagement of the affairs of Indiana and the disintegration of the
Progressives, there is only one thing left for the voters of the state this fall to do, and that is to vote the Republican state ticket. No -better ticket could be submitted to -.the voters than that presented by the Republicans. It contains the .names of men of high standing for ,' 'Jg- character and ability, and they are backed by a party with a record on state administration that has never *£^been equalled in Indiana. A record for genuine progressive and at the ^^v,,8ame time economical administration of the state's business.
"Next to carrying fire and tornado insurance on their buildings, property owners should protect them with lightning rods. We are in no way interested in any lightning rod industry or agency, but we do not
clearly demonstrated than that lightning rods are sure protection against lightning. Fires from lightning seem to be becoming much more frequent. This is especially the case in regard to barns on farms. Where there is no fire protection, when property is almost sure to be destroyed when a fire breaks out, as in the country, every means of protection against it should be taken advantage of. Lightning rods are a protection.
The general business conditions coupled with the big advance in prices ^will impress the necesssity of rigid economy on everybody. Use less, and'make everything go further will be the general slogan of consumers.

We believe in party organization as the best means of effective political work and public administration, but adherence to party organization should depend on an intelligent faith in the principles for which the party organization stands. Party allegiance too often is based on prejudice or selfish ambitions. An independence in politics which would require the party to which a voter belongs, to stand for measures that are sound in principle, and for men of character, should be welcomed by all fairminded citizens.
Change Your Seed Wheat. Sell ten bushels of your common wheat at market price, say 75 cents, making $7.50. For this sum, $7.50, we will send you enough of the wonderful Marvelous wheat to sow ten acres.
You're skeptical! We don't blame you! It will cost a stamp or postal card to get the proof how thousands of others in 1913 and 1914 saved money on their seed wheat and grew the greatest crops they ever did.
We quote just a few extracts from hundreds of letters received. The original letters are on file in our office and can be seen by interested people.

The following letter is from Dr. C. A. Branes, who a year ago, accompanied by his wife, went to Tacoma, Washington, to make their home: "Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 3, 1914. "The Daily Reporter: 'The inaudible and noiseless foot of time' has been steadily moving on. One whole years has passed since Mrs. Barnes and I left dear old Greenfield and our many good friends. "By the aid of the Daily Reporter, which you have so kindly sent us, we have kept pretty well informed of what has transpired in Greenfield and vicinity. "We notice by the Reporter that the usual prosperous conditions have prevailed there during the year. The farmers have been harvesting their usual bounteous crops mechanics and laborers of various kinds seem to have been busy plying their several vocations, and as a natural result your merchants have steadily gathered into their coffers much of the commodity that gladdens the heart of man and your bankers have seen to it that any remaining surplus is judiciously disposed of. "All this has given those of us who have known and loved your country and its people great pleasure, and has enabled us, in the language of the political platforms to 'point with pride' to Indiana in general and Hancock county in particular as one of earth's desirable places to live in. This, after spending a year in what we still maintain is one of the most interesting and picturesque bits of country in the world. "The agricultural possibilities of the Puget Sound country are admitedly inferior to those of the Mid die West, but think of the luxury of living where the average winter temperature is thirty-nine degrees above zero, and the average summer temperature only seventy above. There are no marke indicating thunderstorms or winds of high velocity in our w?eather calendar, and no fatalities from zero blizzards or summer heat. "The year we have spent here has given us a succession of surprises. Such various and varied vegetation, people and customs., "Tacoma has been called by'manyvisitors, the city beautiful. This if not because of its many fine buildings or its broad and well paved streets, or its beautiful harbor. It has many parks, some containing hundreds of acres of primitive forest. But aside from this, there is a spirit of rivalry among the citizens, both rich and. poor, in beautifying with flowers, vines and ornamental shrubs, not only their own grounds, but every bit of outlying space near them. The service of the Boy Scout is secured by the city to look after any unsanitary condition on unoccupied lots, and that no vessels containing stagnant iriosquitobreeding water is permitted on any premises. "We have noticed with saiiness the passing away of quite a number of those whom we knew there as neighbors and friends. "We are admonished that it is well to be ready when the call comes foi us to pass over. "Mrs. Barnes and Albert as well as myself are in good health and ask you through the medium of our friend, the Reporter, to extend kindly greetings to all our friends who happen to remember us. We hope to see many of them on their way to or from the great exposition next year. "Yours, "C. A. BARNES, M. D."

FALLS HEAVILY
ON PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, CLAIMING HIS WIFE AFTER MONTHS OF ILL
NESS—END CAME ON THURSDAY EVENING.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President of the United States, and first lady of the land, succumbed to disease at 5 o'clock Thursday evening, after a losing battle with disease, which has been waged for months, or since last March.
The death of Mrs. Wilson had been expected for several days, although the husband and family continued to hope until Thursday, when they were told that it was only a matter of a few hours until death would claim Mrs. Wilson.
Although the President has been weighed down with heavy responsibilities continually, he has spent every moment possible at the bedside of his wife and some of his most important messages and instructions have been written by him while be watched by the side of his dying wife. A Washington dispatch Thursday night says:
The President was completely unnerved by the shock and his grief was heartrending. He bore up well under the strain, however, and devoted himself to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson was unconscious. Her illness took a turn for the worse shortly before I o'clock in the afternoon, and from then on she grew gradually weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end were the President and their three daughters, Dr. Carey T. Grayson, U. S. N., and a nurse were in the room, and just outside a door were Secretary McAdoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr. Wilson's sons-in-law, and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary.
Both Houses of Congress adjourned when Mrs. Wilson's death was announced, and for a brief time the wheels of the government practically stopped, while everyone oaid respect to the loss of the President.
The beginning of the end came at 10 o'clock this morning, when Dr. E. P. Davis, of Philadelphia, who had been called in consultation, realized that the time for hope had passed. He took the President into the room of the White House, and there, in a broken voice, told him the truth. Mr. Wilson's face blanched, but' he bore the shock well. He was informed that the end was only a question of hours.
Mr. Wilson then took his daughters, Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson, aside, and told them of their mother's condition. Until then they had thought there was a chance for her recovery.
From that time on, the President and his daughters remained constantly at Mrs. Wilson's bedside. The President held his wife's hand, and the three daughters were grouped near by. Until she became unconscious, Mrs. Wilson frequently nodded to one or the other and smiled cheerfully.
During the day, Mrs. Wilson spoke to Dr. Grayson about the President, whose health she thought more about than she did of her own.^v* "Promise me," she whispered faintly, "that if I go, you will take eare of my husband—" It was the •same touch of devotion which she had so many times repeated—her constant anxiety having been that the President might not worry about her or be disturbed in his official tasks.
Messages of condolence" from all over the country have been sent to the President, including" a message from Governor Ralston, of Indiana, who sent the following message: "The people of Indiana mourn the death of Mrs. Wilson and they extend to you their deepest sympathy in your unspeakable bereavement."
Only one other President has been called upon to bear the burden of grief that has fallen on Mr. Wilson, and that was Benjamin Harrison, whose wife died in 1892, while he was in the White House. —1

Night Trip Across Lake Erie Travel to be enjoyable must be restful, and at this season of the year whether your trip takes you East or. West, break its monotony, either at Cleveland or Buffalo, by a refreshing nights trip across Lake Erie on a veritable floating hotel with every convenience for comfort and enjoyment. C. & B. Line steamers leave either city every evening and arrive early the next morning.
The fame of the Great Ship "SEEANDBEE" which was added to this splendid fleet last season is attracting to the route a vast number of travelers to enjoy the delightful trip and, at the same time, inspect her magnificent interior decorations, wonderful illuminating system, and other interesting features. The "SEEANDBEE" is the largest and most costly passenger steamer on inland waters of the world length 500 feet, breadth 98 feet 6 inches, 510 staterooms and parlors accommodating 1,500 passengers, equalling in sleeping capacity the largest hotels of the country, and she can carry 6,000 people, the population of a good sized town.
The fares for this--lake trip are less than by rail, and also any railroad tickets reading between Cleveland and Buffalo are accepted for transportation on C. & B. Line steamers. 13w-l (Advertisement.)
