[t| The first order from Jim Watson's school of oratory to the speech inakera for the republican party in Ind I. iana, was that no mention is to be imade of the state administration or r i- the muddle on the tax question. In J i other words, boys, you are not to let on as though you ever knew a man named Goodrich. Tough ‘‘ain't’’ it? 3 - 1 - «I The state tax board last year re--3 lused to permit levies that would ’ i meet the expenses of the various . cities, counties and townships and as j a result every corporation is in debt ) and the tax rate must be doubled un Wils year to take care of loans. Add I lo this the money being used by the hij*way commission and other com- [ missions and you have a tax levy that ~ is almost confiscation. After all, the most real thing in I politics is how it effects you personally and usually you think most seriously about it when it effects your pocketbook. Under the present tax law and .the highway commission in Indiana (you will*feel the hurt of excessive and t exhorbitant levies, when you go to the ’treasurer's office. The present laws (cannot be patched. They must be re written. McCulloch stands for that. If every employee would give his employer an hour’s work for an hour’s pay, the high cost of living would be solved. — Berne Witness. Just what the official republican organ of Adafis county expects to gain by this attack on the laboring men ' i whom they call “chair warmers’’, ii rather difficult to figure. Without the 1 men who work, few concerns can op- ’ erate and it is unfair to class them dishonest, as a class. There is no longer doubt in the minds of any person inclined to be fair, that the republicans are raising a fund of many millions with which they hope to control the election. Aft- ( er that they boast they will run things ( different. Well, that may be their < undoing for there are a lot of people <

who admit they are getting along better now titan ever before and they may not relish their radical change in wages and values and business generally. Babe Ruth, home-run hitter, is the greatest figure who ever appeared in American athletics. He is a wonderful ball player and hfs record of fortyeven home-runs this year besides a batting record that puts him up with the top-notchers as a dependable man, l as made him the highest-priced,plav-<r of all time. In other words, he has become the leader of base ball. Boys, be a home-run hitter. You can be, if you will. In whatever work you engage, in whatever profession you enter, in every thing you do, try to be a leader, study your work and do it a little better than the other fellow. That's what counts. You can hit a home-run every day in whatever yon are doing and when you do you will be just as great as Babe Ruth. Governor Cox tells the plain truth when he accuses Senator Harding of being a wobbler and the evidence offered that his opponent has had eight different positions' on the league covenant should convince every voter that Harding will be unsafe as an Executive. “Senator Harding's positions have been as follows:

“I—ln the senate voted with mild | reservationists. jj “2 —In the senate advocated and E voted for the Lodge reservations. ‘‘3 —In the senate supported the I Knox reservation for a separate I 1 eace with Germany. s “4 —Nominated on a platform which K declared ‘the league of nations had 1 finally failed. I “s—Speech of acceptance, proposed I separate peace with Germany and I new relationship of nations to be I established by him and the scrapping I cf the league. I “6—August 28th. speech, an entire- I ly new plan—the resurrection of the I dead Hague tribunal under which I there occurred the Russo-Japanese I the Boer, tha Balkan and the great 1 1 world war. | “7 —Speech of September 6th, the I : league has now passed beyond the I possibility of restoration. g “8 —Same speech September 6th I amendment or revision of reconstrue I tion of the league covenant is sti!' | among the possibilities.” I “It will be seen therefore that I eight proposals have been made by ; I candiadte for the constitutional post I tion of president, the office which Ir I a large measure designates the inter I national policies of this republic.” — i .-L~ I Mecca Theatre TONIGHT “BRINGING UP 'BETTY” | A big World production featur ing the fascinating little screen star, > 1 EVELYN GREELEY A comedy drama containing a number of interesting event; i that wiU prove most delightful to you.

REVEALS FACTS HOPING ALL WILL TAKE HER ADVICE Mrs. Storms Tells What Trutona Did For Her So Others May Be Benefited Fort Wayne, lnd„ Sept. 9.—“1 cannot express my gratitude to the man who compounded this wonderful medicine. Trutona.’’ Mrs. William Storms, a well-known Fort Wayne woman, who lives at 1219 South Calhoun street, devlared recently to a Trutona representative. "For twelve years I had suffered from kidney trouble." Mrs. Storms continued. 1 would have to walk all bent -over, at times, and I'd suffer such pains in my side. For six we >kl . I had been unable to get my armabove my head, to do up my hair. I was very restless at night, and would be up and odwn. all the time, because of my weak kidneys. When I'd lie on my back, a lump seemed to form in my throat, my heart would flutter, and I'd become short of breath. My appetite was so poor, that 1 seldom cared for anything to eat.” "Hoping everyone will take my word. I’m going to tell just what Tru-' tona has done for me. I was able to| dress my own hair this morning, for the first time in six weeks. I’m sleeping better at night now. than 1, have for years. 1 don’t have to get m several times during the night, be-j cause of my kidneys, either, and the former pains in the small of my back ■ have ceased to bother me. Trutona has given me a wonderful appetite, and in a general way. T feel like a woman that has been granted a new | lease on life I intend to tell everyone who suffers as 1 did, all about Trutona, the Perfect Tonic.” Trutona is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s. - AT PUMPHREY'S STORE Forrest Elzey, well known young man of this city, has quit the barber business and has accepted a place in I the Pumphrey jewelry store of this city.

FORDSON | TRADE MARK BV * ' £ A Fordson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the farmer. It doesn't make i any difference how you spell that prosperity—whether it is in increased production; whether it is in the saving that comes frdm a machine over a horse or a mule; whether it comes in a release from the drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for both man and wife—because ; the Fordson answers all those problems to the satisfaction of (he farmer. It can’t be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power on the farm is the neces s>ty It is only a question of what kind of power lhe farmer is going to have, hot no farmer with J lb ‘ (act ? nou bef “re h| m ran question (he monetary advantages of machine power over horse j. fw growing roops. ” W S n ' cessi,> lust “ ■* h “«* * l±X°“ hi . s k F « rds »" Tractor as familiarly as he under- ■ stands handling a team ot horses.
