Last week the Democratic candidate for governor was defeated by only 8,000. There is some hope for Massachusetts yet. In the meantime, “there she stands.” Senator Aldrich is making speeches in the west in which he tells his audiences that “we must lay aside our prejudiced, our preconceived notions." But Mr. Aldrich does not mean that. He means that others must lay aside their prejudices and their preconceived notions. He has no intention whatever of abandoning his own. According to information received at the office of the state superintendent of public instruction the operations of the public accounting law during the school supply purchasing season this year has served to keep down materially the expenses for such supplies for the school year. E. G. Bunnell, assistant superintendent, said that it had been the observation of the office that township trustees and school boards had bought so conservatively that the report for the jjear. as compared with that for previous years, will disclose a great saving in township and city school funds. “The office,” said Mr. Bunnell, “is thoroughly in accord with the operations of the Law as concerns tow’nship trustees and school boards. While we maintain at all times that school rooms should be equipped with all the necessary accessories for properly, teaching all subjects, we do not believe that, in the case of the common schools, this material should be expensive. A 25-cent globe in most cases may be made to do the work of one costing SSO. It is the needless expenditure of money for expensive apparatus when expensive apparatus is not necessary that this office has been objecting to, and in this respect we are thoroughly in accord with the accounting board.”

“WHAT IS MAN?” Exangelist Thompson Held Large Audience With Eloquent Address » ■ AT CHURCH OF CHRIST His Subject for This Evening Will be “The Judgment 1 * —Come Out • “What is Man?” was the question with which Evangelist Thompson of the Christian church dealt last night. The largest audience since the meetings began had assembled inspired the preacher to an eloquent address. In part he said: The prince of philosophers. Plato, answered this question by saying “Man is a forever creature,” meaning of course that he possessed immortality. Poetry also answers but the true reply to the question is only to be found in the Bible. Mankind is divided into four classes: Christians, back sliders, sinner and infidels, each of those view life from a different standpoint. It was a strong appeal for righteousness and delivered in an earnest, serious manner. The choir rendered fine music and a solo of much feeling was sung by Mrs. B. G. Williams. The subject for tonight is: ‘’The Judgment.” —— o— Miss Ruth Doehrman is visiting friends in Fort Wayne.

HAVE NEW OFFICES (Continued from page 1.) large parties. Including congressmen and their friends. On cabinet days the members of the cabinet had to stand around and cool their heels until the president had emptied the cabinet room of visitors. Persons sitting in the cabinet room could readily overhear private conversations going on in the president s office. The whole arrangement was unsatisfactory and undignified. Washington, Nov. 12. —That Indiana has a bumper corn crop this year is established by government statistics. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson made public some convincing statistics on the subject which show that in Indiana the corn crop this year is greater by 58,685,000 bushels than the corn crop last year. In other words Indiana raised 196,520,000 bushels of corn this year as against 137,835,000 bushels last year. The average yield of the Indiana corn crop this year Secretary Wilson finds, was forty bushels an acre, as against thirty and three-tenths bushels last year and a ten year average of thirty-four and five-tenths bushels. The quality of corn raised in Indiana is also an im provement this year, being estimated at 91 per cent, as against 90 per cent, last year and a ten year average o> 87 per cent. The total amount of corn grown in the United States this year* is estimated at 2,767,316,000 bushels, as against 2,668,651,000 bushels in 1908. ■ ■ —o —■ —* Mrs .Samuel Doak is at Warsaw', Ind., visiting with her brother.

yi/'E want to tell you ’ ’ a little about the idea back of Bischof models. The ftiakers of Bischof models get the Paris and Berlin styles but they don’t stop there. They believe there is a higher standard than pure style —that is style and service combined. What’s fashionable in Paris is studied and the ideas carried out, the effect*reproduced but in serviceable, practical suits —the kind American life of today demands. The taste expressed, the discrimination used in selecting only what is suitable has made Bischof models nationally popular. It is a significant fact that tie leading Fashion Journal after a close study of the taste of American women, sketched a Bischof model for their Fall Fashion Number. Come in and see the
