The contest being conducted over the county closes at noon tomorrow when it is expected that a good many pesky flies will have been cashed in and a valuable work done for the people of the community.

About the most welcome streak of weather for this season has been the clear skies of the past two da.vs. Actually it hasn't rained for forty-eight hours and there are signs of several days of sunshine. It means a good many thousand dollars to the farmers of this section and they are thankful indeed a nd busy, as the Ix>rd and good health will permit -them. Colonel Roosevelt and Hon. Wni. J. Bryan are both on the Pacific coast, delivering speeches. The presence of these two distinguished citizens in any part of United States at the same time Is the signal for some unusual nianifes tation, and a clever cartoonist takes advantage of their visit to California by’ picturing Uncle Sam staking down the eastern coast to prevent the tip ping of the continent. —Lebanon Pioneer. The celebration next year of InJi ana's one hundredth birthday is to be made an old home coming event, when former Hoosiers will be urged to come ba< k and "get a cup of coffee like mother used to make."
