THE PRESIDENT’S CONSERVATION POLICY

The record of the Wilson administration in the conservation of our public domain and resources will meet with the cordial approval of those Americans who have seen with regret vast areas of public lands pass into the greedy hands of monopolists, billions of tons of coal, the property

of all the people, transferred to a = few and other public resources frittered away, and who recall the frauds __and scandals that made these great national blessings a source of shame. - In sharp contrast with some of its predecessors stands the Wilson record. - No fraud or trickery or even charge or rumor of fraud or scandal has oc-

curred. Al of the yast. territorgr and

riches of the nation have been con‘served for the benefit of the nation,

the needs of the future considered and provided for and millions of acres made available for homestead entry. The record is without a blur and of marked energy and accomplishment.

SI6 KANN SAYS THE DEMOCRATS WILL WIN

Sig W. Kann, democratic candidate for state statistician, was in Fort Wayne yesterday and met many of his friends and party workers. ““Things look grand from all angles,”’ Mr. Kann said. “If Human Hammer Hughes keeps up his prattle, we will carry even Pennsylvania. Have you ever been so disappointed in any man as you have been in Hughes? He is making votes for Wilson. Wherever 1 go I find the Germans coming strong for Wilson, as they know that Root will be secretary of state and Roosevelt secretary of war if the possibility of Hughes’ election was to tale place. A good republican in my home town of Ligonier told me that Hughes must say something—he hasn’t an issue. We are going to give Adair a good meeting next Monday in Ligomier, and about 400 majority. I find wherever Igo many republicans for Wilson, and the same can be said of the progressives. I believe Indiana will go 60,000 for Wilson and the state ticket and if the human hammer comes into the state with his line of knocks, it will go 100,000. He has reached the stage already where nobody takes him seriously.”—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

Owing to the untiring efforts of President Wilson and the speedy response of congress the great railroad strike has been averted and the business paral;sis threatened has been happily averted. To the democrats

must be credited the effort to prevent a national calamity. -

INFANTILE PARALYSIS -

(Mayor’s Proclamation)

In view of the known prevalence of the terrible disease, infantile paralysis, and the fact that its cause and proper method of treatment are as yet unknown to scientists and physicians, great care:is essential in taking such action as will protect the children of our city and community from the ravages of this dreaded scourge.

It has been decided that the disease is contageous. It has come to- the knowledge of the local authorities that the children of at least one family in our city have been exposed to the disease. On account of these matters the city school trustees have wisely postponed the opening of the public schools of the city for two weeks. o

-1 therefore call upon the citizens of our ;town and community t’o. keep their children under eighteen years of age from promiscuous association with other children and away from Sunday school, church, pictuie shows and other puf)lic meetings and entertainments, until such time as it may be deemed safe, of which notice will*be duly given. As a farther precautionory measure citizens are requested‘to properly and thoroughly disinfect their homes under the supervision and direction of their own physician, or of ‘the secretary of the board of health, Dr. L. P. Wineburg. This action should be taken at once and may be the means of saving the life of your child, or of some other child loved by some other parents or friends. : I appeal to your love and friendship of children.and your loyalty to the promotion of the best interests of the childhood and youth of our city for a prompt and efficient response to this request. Sept. 4 1916. . Respectfully Yours, J. B. Schutt, Mayor.

Mayor Schiutt does well to postpone the opening of school for two weeks in view of the exposures to infantile paralysis by many Ligonier children. Too much care cannot be exercised to prevent the terrible malady.

Compared with ‘President Wilson’s dignified speech of acceptance the garrulous utterances of Candidate Hughes shame republicans into silence. The president is dignified and kindly in his expressions as the president of a great republic should be.

The State Board of Health is in receipt of numerous inquiries from school ‘officials and health officers throughout the state in regard to the opening of schools on account of the prevalence -of ‘infantile paralysis in New York City, In answer to these inquiries the State Board of Health says that there is not likely to be an outbreak of this disease at the opening of schools in Indiana and certainly not if the schools are opened under medical supervision. "The State Board of Health wishes to emphasize the importance of medical supervision in the schools, not only as a means of safety and prevention againstinfantile paralysis, but against all communicable diseases especially measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria. There is greater danger of an outbreak of measles, scarlet fever or diphtheria in connection with the opening of schools than there is of infantile paralysis and the fatality as well as the serious after affects of these diseases are nearly as great as result from infantile paralysis.

Infantile Paralysis

Edgar, aged two years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Clark, of Kimmell, is sick of infantile paralysis. 'The presence of the dread disease in Noble county has struck terror to the hearts of parents with small children and one of the effects is the postponement of the opening of the Aibion public school for one week. Once it hecame known that the Clark child was afflicted a strict quarantine was established. : .

There have been but three cases in Noble county up to this time.

~ That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, quadrupled our daily output. ' - ‘

That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for’ 20,000 more of the present Super-Six. Constantly increasing demand has just forced us to place contracts on materials for an additional 15,000. | ,

Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will be built like the present madel. Our production is now 3,500 monthly. » ' ' ’ {3

No Change in Sight

Our opinion is that a like announcement will be: made in a year from now. The Super-Six invention in one bound increased motor efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at T76-horse-power-motor: And simply by ending vibration. - i

Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have out’ rivaled all other stock car performance. In speed, in hill climbing, in quick acceleration and endurance, they have done what was never done’ before.

No man can doubt that the Super-Six holds the pinnacle place among motors. And there is no higher place in sight. ' “

Atter eight months of experience, with 10,000 cars, not one important improvement in design suggests itself to our engineering corps. So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And, because of our patents, it will maintain its supremacy.

ADMR SPEAKS IN LIGONIER

Democratic Candidate For Governor,’ _Escorted By Autos, Makes Tour .

Congressman Adair, democratic candidate for governor, spoke to a fair sized audience in the Crystal theater yesverday afternoon. ;

Mr. Adair had been talking from his car at LaOtto, Albion, Wolf Lake and Kimmel before reaching Ligonier. He was accompanied by a long line of automobiles containing party leaders and workers. ; = -

From Ligonier the train moved to Kendallville by way of Wawaka, and Brimfield where a big rally was held last night. - ‘ . Accompanying Congressman Adair was James M. Robinson who formerly served in congress from the Twelfth Indiana district, State Auditor Dale Crittenberger and County Chairman Cleland and many others. The auto train was met at Kimmell by an escort of prominent democrats of Ligoniert - i The stand in library park had been

gaily decorated with flags and bunting but had to be abandoned on account of rain. With music by Curt Hire's band and a flow of oratory the occasion was most inspiring. The crowd in attendance completely filled the play house and it is regretable that many could not get in.

When Vice Chairman Henoch introduced Mr. Adair in well chosen words the theater was packed to suffocation, many failing to gain admission. It is extremely unfortunate that the meeting could not be held in the park as previously arranged, when all who came could have listened to the thrilling words of the speaker in comfort. ;

Despite the strain put upon it Mr. Adair was in excellent voice and his telling points brought frequent bursts of applause. 'Bhe address aroused great enthusiasm and was well received by all who heard it. There ‘was a long train of automobiles to K endallville last evening, beinfi delegations from all the townships in the county.

Sunday afternoon an armored automobile passed through Ligonier on & trip from Boston to San Francisco. The war machine was in charge of an army officer -and it attracted much attention. Among the novelties was a machine gun. :

knows that in every sort of performance his ear has outmatched all rivals. He knows that he has the smoothest running motor ever built.- The most powerful of its size. He knows that in ordinary driving he never taxes half its capacity. That means long life and economy. He knows that his motor has shown boundless endurance—such has never been shown. And that he can look forward to many years of its perfect preseht service.
