WOOD ASSAILS GRAY'S RECORD AT CAMBRIDGE CITY n, . . , . ; x Congressman Says Democratic Nominee Was Loudest in Anti-Preparedness.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind.. June 21.

The record of Flnly H. Gray, Democratic nominee for representative in Congress from the Sixth district, when he was a member of the House, was presented to voters of Cambridge City last night by Representative Will R. Wood of the Tenth Indiana district.

"I want to refute the theory of the

Democrats." said Wood, "that men

must be sent to Con Kress to support

President Wilson. When Gray was in

Congress he was not in sympathy with conditions now existing. He voted against every increase In the army and navy. The unprepared predicament of the nation today is due to the attitude rf the Democrats on preparedness. Gray was the loudest in decrying army increases. He voted against every increase in the army and against every measure that would have pOvided increased equipment for our army and r.avy. V,,.,. Favored Underwood Bill'. "Gray also favored and voted for the Underwood bill, causing a deficiency In the Federal treasury that necessitated the passing of the war tax bill cf 100.000,000. "If the administration had depended on Democratic votes for the passage of any war measure it would not have been enacted by' the special session of Congress. Every one would have been defeated. Seventeen more Republicans than Democrats voted for the conscription bill. The army bill was put through the House by the leadership of the Republicans when the majority on . the Democratic committee, including the chairman, fought it. - "The Democrats have utterly failed to take steps to prepare for the economic and commercial war that will follow the declaration of peace. Every belligerent is making preparations for the re-cstablishment of its commercial standing touching the United States. The main object of England in asking for wooden ships instead of steel is because she knows wooden ships aro worthless and that after the war we would have no steel ships for-our over-

ecas trade. ; " Japan's Game. . ,t

"When England asked Japan to send sMps to rid the seas of submarines, Jaoan refused but agreed to supply the

British trade on the Pacific Ocean, thus releasing British ships to work

against submarines, Japan's purpose

being to save her carrying ships ar.a

to entrench herself fof the trade re vlval that will follow the war.

"Neither have the Democrats taken steps to provide against conditions

that will follow when the millions of

men now engaged in" fighting resume their vocations and business, becomes

normal." - - - ' Representative Wood said that the nation must send Republicans to the House to assure the nation of & wise

Boston Totfinship Farmer and . Two Sons Show Real Patriotism

The following Tetter, illustrating the spirit of Wayne county farmers, in response to the appeal for raising and conservation of foodstuffs during the war, has been received by President Macy of the Wayne County Food and Conservation Association. . Boston, Ind., June 20, 1917, Mr. Harry B. Macy, Richmond, Ind. Dear Sir Your letter of June 15 at hand. This work Is certainly a great work. - Myself and two boys, , would gladly give of our time to solicit money for the aid of the young men who go to the front, but I believe as our president's proclamation did state we can do more for them and serve our country better by remaining at our post, working early and late, striving to do our utmost to supply

our share of food for this country and the allies. ; We are suort of help now, have tried men from the city, but they were inexperienced and we could not keep them. Putting out the large crop of corn of 250 acres and wheat harvest near, it is next to impossible to give our time as solicitors but we have decided to give generously of our money. I bought a $500 bond and when the solicitors of the Red Cross call I will give liberally and -will continue to help so long as I have money to spare. We feed lots of hogs and cattle and promise to do , our utmost In our line. Trusting this will help to work miracles for our heroes at the front, Respectfully,

Weatherman Puts on All Brands on the Longest Day of Year t The weatherman went - on -a- wild celebration today for the longest day in the year, and distributed all sorts of weather over America for the occasion. Thunderstorms and rain are promised tonight for , Wayne county and Indiana, while frosts are reported from Saskatchewan, and terrific heat from the far WestExtreme temperatures for the day were below the frost line in the Canadian province, while California's celebrated climate did noble work by climbing above the century mark in the shade at San Bernardino and other points. Tomorrow is promised as fair and cooler in Wayne county.

One of tjie prettiest models at Hickson's wears this dress, which she herself was clever enough to design. It is of black satin, widely belted and producing by its simple use of cross lines a very piquant effect, charming for slim young figures and fatal to mature and dumpy ones! Well below the hips there is a hoop of embroidery which looks like a misplaced laurel wreath. The slim, tight little sleeves and the slim, full little waist button over little round balls of the black satin. The final touch of quaintness and charm is the chalk blue collars and cuffs of organdie or crash, as your preference is. From an Original Design by Hickson, Fifth Avenue, the Authority on Smart Fashions.

What Women in Their "Forties" Need. Many woman approach the critical changing period of their lives that comes between the ages of forty and fifty, unmindful of its tremendous importance to their future health and happiness. Not understanding the functional changes taking place in their bodies, they work beyond their strength, often break down, become nervous wrecks, their bodies suffering with fatigue and their weakened nerves trembling at every step. Often in their weakened condition capillary hemorrhage becomes excessive, this added drain compelling them to take to their beds from nervous exhaustion. WTiat these women , need Is something that will instantly relieve the pressure on the overworked nerve centers and give them the vitality to stand up under the grueling strain. Wonderfully effective results are giVen in such conditions by the simple -use of Margo Nerve Tablets, a skillful combination of seven of the best nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. These little tablets contain no dangerous habit-forming drugs and are entirely harmless , in their action but they quickly build np and strengthen the entire nervous system by feeding directly to the tired devitalized nerve cells, in artificial form, the very necessary elements of which nature is depriving them. Thousands of women can testify that Margo Nerve Tablets strengthen the Jaded nerves, revive the tired brain and put the energy and courage into your body that enables you to stand up under the unusual strain of the changing period. Margo has to do these things or it costs you nothing as Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores and other leading druggists sell It on a positive guarantee of relief or money back. Adv.

Our country is now engaged in the most terrible war of all the ages. It is probable that, within a year, more than & million brave American boys will be across the sea fighting to i protect America. They will endure hardship, pri- , vation, pain. Many of them will give their lives. What will YOU give to make this suffering lighter? Those of us who stay at home will still have comforts, even luxuries. We will have soft beds on which to lie at night. Wewill have good food and plenty of it. We will be 4,000 miles away from the battlefields so far away that we will , hardly realize the horrors that our boys are going through. Surely the very least that we can do is to give our money to the RED CROSS FUND so that their pain and suffering can be made as light as .possible, so that no lives will, needlessly be sacrificed. In order to helpas best we can, five per cent of the total amount of all the sales made in this store Friday and Saturday will be turned over to The Red Cross. War Fund.
