TRYING TO KEEP UP PRICES: — While there is a general demand upon the part of the consumer to bring prices down, there is also an attempt being made by the producer or manufacturer to keep prices up. The American Woolen company is ac used of closing down its plants and curtailing production —a sort of strike for high prices. Naturally the company is being severely criticized. This great corporation operates many plants and employs thou:and* of workers. It has almost a monopoly of the woolen production of this conn try. It claims that the public did no’ use as much cloth as it ought to have used, and that therefore the mills must close to allow the demand to catch up with the production. Tn the mean time the market for wool has gene tn pieces and the grower can't sell his woo] .while the consumer of cloth isn't getting the goods for any lesthan he did a few months ago. When employes strike, or curtail their output, we hear a great ddhl about it. They are accused of bring ing high prices through their conduct. Every one knAws that what the world now needs is increased production and not decreased production. But here is a great cloth manufacturing concern that seems to be doing the same Crocks & Jars Jars at less than factory prices. All sizes from to 30 gallons. Having decided to discontinue the crock and jar business, we are pricing these so they will move. Call early as they will not last long. KIRSCH-REPPERT CO.

thing, in effect, a* strikers or those n who "lay down” uj»on the job. It is i as bad (or the one as for the other. I with the public having no recourse Tho woolen company seems to be assuming the same altitude toward the 1 public as the strikers assume: iu oth- ' er words, tho strikers say it is their, 1 own business whether they work or ' not and the mill owners say it is tljeir 1 own business whether they operate 1 their mills or not—an unhappy thing 1 for the consumer, always. Columbus I Dispatch. 1 The people of this community 11 1 mourn the loss of a most excellent , man in the death of George Kinzle, . i I business man, ex-treasurer, prominent lodge worker, and widely beloved citizen. He had a smile for every one I lie passed, a word of encouragement for those in trouble, was industrious, capable and had pushed his own way up in affairs of this county. \s a public official bis record was clean, as president of the telephone company he showed progress and a knowledge of his business, as husband and father the devotion of his family is tin best evidence of their love and respect, as a worker in lodge circles lie was consistent and catetui and capable and he ; will lie greatly missed. It is with sincerest and deepest regret that we now pay tribute to the memory of our friend, George Kinzle. Those who knew him best, loved him best. That Expresses it all. i Mr. Harding says Jimmy Con rdodging issues. Can you beat that ’ for impudence after the issue-del ?inr 1 session of the Chicago conventio and 1 the Harding aqqetptance Speech, in neither of which was a single out standing, clear declaration of P'inciI pies? The senator says he is waiting I for Governor Cox's speech next Saturday before starting his campaign. ■ though we cannot see why this would I make any difference as to the position I he is to take. Perhaps he has de, ided to just oppose Cox on any ques'.ion. which seems to have been the attitude ’ of the senate during the past two '. years. The legislature is over, thank *ood i ness. They haven't given the p ople , much relief but there was no chance I for that after they locked horns. They have passed some fifty bills bu: jus' ' what they are no one knows yet ?ven ‘ those who have been trying to Aee’ ' in touch with them on the scene Most of the laws passed were enacted t.1 correct mistakes made by the last rec i alar session and it is more than like ly that several of the bills en cteJ t at this time will need trimming m ! at next winter's session.

The plans for the big fair to be held lere. week after next are going lor ward rapidly now and will soon be ■oilll lete It is safe to predict as this nne that the exhibits will be th largest, the races the best, the free attractions real thrillers and the entire program one thnt will more than please you. Much of the success of Hie event depends upon you and the spirit of boosting a good cause enters into It. The fair is to be clean and I wholesome and high class and if it Is a winner there will be more events of the kind in the years to come. The queerest thing of the paper; shortage is that many newspapers | can secure all the paper they want . at a very low price in comparison, while the others have a diffi< ult time getting it at any price, and when they do must pay so much that it means ruin. Something seems to be very wrong indeed and some of these days we wil know just where the blame attaches. We haven't any doubt that the same thing is true in many other I lines of trade. Indiana democrats, humlre Is of them, will attend the Cox notification meeting at Dayton next Saturday, the largest delegation going from Indianapolis on a special train. Tluy will take a band and will parade in Day ton, showing the natives of that pros perous city, that their Hoosier broth ers are for Jimmy Cox and wil! keep on being for him until the votes are counted, and then four years longer. The 1920 Chautauqua will cloy? thievening and there are nene who do not agree that the five days have been not only interesting and instructive, but entirely successful. Tho crow-1 has been large and the interest keen and the local committee in charge has done every part of the work in just the right way. ADDITIONAL SOCIETY The Woman's Misionary society of the United Brethren church will hold an ice cream social at the church on Tuesday evening. August 3. Plenty of cream and home made cake. The proceeds wil go to the local work of the missionary society. Everyone is welcome.

WILL KEEP OUT OF "POLITICS" Indiana Farmers’ Federation Will Not Become Affiliated With the FARMER-LABOR PARTY Drive Will Continue to Put the State in the Lead in Number of Indianapolis, Ind.. July 31 —In order to correct any mistaken impression which may have arisen in this state concerning the so-called "Farmer luiibor” third party, officers of tho Indij ana federation of Farmers' arsociaItlons and state organization workers .are calling attention to the fact that the federation has no connection with , tuny such movement. It has been point- , ed out that not only the state federa- , tion. but the national organization to which the Indiana farmers are affiliated—the American Farm Bureau Federation is headed by the most conservative of leaders who are firm tor backing up their set platform as j adopted at their first annual convention which set out principles in direct contrast to many of those advocated at this time by this new - arty. County, state and nationally the slogan of the farmers has be; n to keep the organization out of "politics." Again, numerous county assoei; lions in this state, as well as the parent body in Indiana, and the Am rican Farm Bureau Federation, have gone on record as against any tendet.vy toward radicalism and have frowr. d repeatedly upon such doctrines as got I ernmental ownership of railroads and I public utilities. 11. C. Reid, field man and state organizer. has contracted with a large j number of county associations to con- ! I duet membership drives during the summer and early fall. He ho cs to i increase the number of drives -o at 1 1 least forty counties before the com-; t-pletion of his tour of the state. Con ' > fidence is expressed by state oflceisl . that the finish of these mom’- -ship drives before the second annual convention to be held in Novembt: will I see the Indiana Federation the strongest in the way of memb - -ship iof any farmers' organization in the 1 middle west. The goal is for 150.000 ' members by November. lowa now 'leads with approximately 118,000 ' members with Illinois second. The - dates of opening membership drives f under the new uniform plan together 5 with the counties which have contracted follow: : August 16 — Hamflton. >Jeff, . son. Putnam, Owen. Clay. Dubois, Lawrence, Allen and Cass counties. t August 23 —Washington county. ? j September 6 -Jennings county, j September 13 Dearborn. Tipton Jasper and Bartb.olom.ew counties. ’ | October 4—Adams county. October 16 —Stuhen county. October 23 Noble county. President John G. Brown and Lewis 5 Taylor, general secretary, will attend the conference of state presidents and secretaries of the mid west to be held » at the Michigan agriculture college, Lasing. Mich., this week.

KEEP UP TO THE MARK I Good health is impossible when the kidneys are weak, overworked or diseased. When they fail to filter out of the poisons and impurities that cause sore, swollen muscles and joiuts backache or rheumatic pains, prompt steps should be taken to give the kidneys and bladder the help these 'symptoms iadicate tljey naed.
