and assistance will be given to repub-
licans in every county to organize
clubs, because It has been found that

President Hastings said also that
the Lincoln League Of Indiana will
open headquarters in the headquar-
ters OF the state committee within .
short time and that either he or some
other oficial Of the league will be on
hand at all times to look after the
work. In this way 1t ia hoped to push
the organization work vigorously.
Organization Campaign.
Fully one hundred of the party lead
ers of the state were expected to at
tend the meeting today which was call
ed by State Chairman Lee. II is a
conference of the members of the state
committee. the executive and advisory
committees. the state and COMPRESSION
al candidates. together with a large
number OF prominent party workers
who are not members of committees
or candidates. 1t was the intention
to make definite plans at this meet
ing for carrying on the work Of or
ganizing the entire state. The plan
which had been under consideration
was for a five days organization cam
paign of the whirlwind type. to in
clude every county in the ctate except
Marion and Marshall. which will be
handled separately. 1t was proposed
by Chairman Lee to appoint fifteen
teams of ave men each to work in each
county. not more than twenty-four
hours to be spent by team In any
one county. and 1t was the understand
Ing that this plan would be adopted.
Chairman Lee sent James E. Watson
IN invitation a few days ago to be
member of one of these teams OF or
ganizers. Mr.. Watson has sent an
answer in which he says that 1t will
be Impossible for him to take part in
the work from August 8 to 10, which

the whilrwind organization campaign.
because he has speaking dates outside
the state from August to August IA,
and that he also has dates outside the
state from August 10 to 25. He says
however, that he stands ready and will
be glad to do anything he can along
that line at any time when 1t will
not interfere with his dates already
made. Chairman Lee was much graft
ned at the receipt Of the letter from
Mr.. Watson, and he will undoubtedly
avail himself of his services at such
times as will be convenient for Mr..
Watson.

There is very general feeling that
the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight should
not be re-enacted by living pictures
in this country; and at the same time
1t is asserted that everybody here
wants to see It." The two statements
are not SO fatty contradictory as they
sound. They represent two views
which certainly conflict, but may CO.
exist in a single mind. Many people

Large Number of Law Suits

care of the matter. A larger appro-
priation will be necessary or the
suits cannot be pressed. The prepare.
ton OF the complaints in the cases is
but a small part of the work connect
ed with them. and this. the attorney
general says, can be done in his office,
but the local attorney is needed in
each instance after the suit has been
filed.
The present situation has arisen in
connection with the examination of
the township trustees of the state.
There are 1,016 of the trustees. If 100
OF these cases can be found among
the trustees it is reasonable to sup
pose that a larger number will be
found when the examiners begin max
ing their reports on the city and coun-
ty offices. which they are examining
now. 1t is believed that several hun
dred such cases will be found among
the city and county offices. because
1t is among them that the shortages
and discrepancies are generally found.
1t was the belief of the trainers of
the public accounting law that they
had it SO drawn as to cover every pos
sible circumstance that might arise,
but 1t seems that they overlooked one
very important feature. for as it
stands now no matlec how many
cases Of short accounts are found by
the examiners nothing can be done to-
ward collecting the money due until
after the next legislature provides
money with which to employ local at
torneys to look after the cases.

Clean Your Premises

To the people of Adair County:
The time has come now, when we
ought to look after the conditions of
our premises, and see that everything
is in good sanitary condition. Look in
to the condition of the cellars, the
privies and everything that is in an I'M
clean condition. 1t is a great deal cas-
Ter to prevent disease, than it is to cure
it when it comes. want especially the
doctors to notify me of any contagious
or epidemic disease that they may find
in the bounds of their practice. While
| am at all times ready to obey any
calls that | may receive from the doc
tor, cannot know, unless / am no.
titled. | am not mind reader, and
never have professed to be. And it is
the duty of not only the doctors, but
the duty of the head of families to give
me information along these lines. |
have been trying to fumigate every
house where consumptive has died,
but frequently notice in the County
paper is the first intimation that | have
of the death of cosumptive. The
physicians ought to be more particular
about these important things. l want
information about all these diseases,
whether the cases have died or recov-

Consumption, typhoid fever, dlpthe-

sles, and cholera infantum. l did a great
deal of work along these lines last year,
but l want to do more this year, if the
epidemics require it. Let every body
be ready to fight the pestiferous fly
when it makes its appearance. All the
houses ought to be screened, and es-
pecially where any body in sick. A
hint to the wise ought to be sufficient.

The EnumeratOrs.

There were thirty-two applicants for
enumerators examined by j. N. Coffey

to Mr.. H. C. Kennedy, the Supervisor
for the Eleventh Congressional district,

follows, Adair being entitled to fifteen
enumerators, out of the thirty-two who
were examined, ten passed, five names
being in doubt. The Supervisor return
ed the following names:
John o. White, Chas. G. Jeffries,

Robert o. Dillingham;, Walter S. Sin.
clair, 10 o. Miller, Robt. B. White,
VIM. j. Biggs, Ed Butler, Buford B
Montgomery, Luther Brockman, Her
schel T, Baker, Chas. S. Moore, Edwin
G. Hulse.
Ten of this number passed and the

failures and sent the fifteen names
above given to Washington, and asked
that they be appointed. 1t is not known

Instead of selling hogs our farmers
ought to keep every one they have.
While it does not require more than a
year to produce a good poker yet this
section is short on hogs and much bacon
will be shipped in to meet the demands.
Every farmer ought to have some
young swine and give them all they can
eat. To clean the farm of hogs simply
because of the unprecedented high
price, is a mistake and every one who
does it will later see the folly. Brood
hogs ought to be in great demand
throughout the country and none OF
them should be put on the butcher s
market.
