WHY SO QUIET.’— There is more truth than poetry in the following contribution to public opinion iu the Chicago Tribune. Head it and think: “Recent reports show over 6,000,000 men at present out of employment. No report shows the millions of other men and women whose wages and salaries have been slashed from JO to GO per cent. The labor bureau promises a revival of trade this fall, and fall is near. Do these millions forget the beautiful promises of prosi>erity and other stuff handed them to vote for Harding last fall? The present depression is said to be due to lack of market, freight rates, and dullness in iron and steel trade. Hoover says there may be no revival for years to come. Had political history been reversed and there had been for the last eight years a republican president, doing just what Wilson had done, and had been suceeded by a democrat, with conditions following as they are today, then would the calamity howler be heard Then the cry of “lack of confidence,’’ “fear of capital to invest,” “distrust of democratic policies,” ‘danger of free trade,” “southern ascendancy.’’ and the “bloody shirt,” but now no one peeps. Sit and wait in silence, hoping for a change. William W. Barrick, Sr.” One of the silly proposed amend meats on which you will vote next Tuesday is Number three which provides that the general assembly oi Indiana shall between tlig* regular . election of 1924 and the regular ses-

f slon of 1925 moot In special Mission to determine the vole cast for secretary of state at the lust proceeding • election. Think of it. And it turlli- , er provides that this be done each ■ six years thereafter. At a great cost , to the people, the legislature will be given a picnic to uscerttdn a fact that Is always on record at the office of the secretary of state. Will you sit by and let u lot of this kind of stuff be mudu our basic law? Governor McCray, backed by former Governors Goodrich, Ralston, Marshall and Durbin, have announced a position favoring the amendment which gives the governor the right to veto individual items of the gener-

al appropriation bill In the legislature. They ought to know and we 1 do not dispute the fact that the provision would be a wise one, though we still maintain that thus changing the constitution is a dangerous thing because we establish a precedent which may at some future time pro- ' duce a “joker.” It sounds funny to hear the republican politicians talking about making a “white man’s party." That’s going to be hard on Lew Shanks and a few others, and is not just in line with the usual campaign talk in this section. It all comes about because of tffe fact that a colored man named Henry Johnson of Georgia was nominated by the president to be recorder of deeds, one of the good jobs in Washingtin but the senate has refused to confirm it and a big “fuss" is on. We have no desire to influence the voters of Adams county in the coming election. You should study the amendments and consider the fact that if we adopt any of them we are providing a simple way to change the constitution. If that's what you prefer you have the right to vote that way. We don't think it’s the •safest thing to do but that's only our own opinion and you should do as you think right and best but you hould vote one way or another. If de really need a new coustitu tion or changes in the present one. let's do it as is provided. Either amend at a regular election or call i rnflßt it 11 t ion 1 r»r»v» volition on/l

it over for good .and all. These i changes should be made %y men and women who are thinking and not at an election when people do not realize the injportance of the question or just what they are voting on. The joker in the new peace pact has been discovered. The president «n<l secretary of state may join the league of nations when they please and without the consent of congress. Os course they can and some day they will. The country would have been better off if they had done so in the first place. Hear Hon., Edgar D.

It is one of the important elections of Indiana history and that's why the Industrial association has arranged for this meeting. y\nd now as a kind of desert for this normalcy menu we are to have a railroad strike.

EXCLUSIVE CLUB Half of the Aristocracy of British Isles Have Well Appointed Quarters in THE SLUM DISTRICT Boxing Matches and Other Sporting Events Thrill the Members. (lulled PreuM Service). New York, Aug. 29 —Brom the roughest and toughest boxing ring to the most exclusive boxing club in London —and for that matter in all the world—there is but a live-minute walk. Surrounded by slums, In the heart of Convent Garden market, reek with the smells of a wyrlad different vegetables, stands a great, red Early Victorian Building — the National Sporting Club of England. The “N. S. C.,” as it is popularly known, is an anomaly in clubs, • Its membership is exclusive. Half the aristocracy of the British Isles belong to it; indeed, you may count pages out of Burke’s Peerage there on any “big fight” night. The N. S. C. is a club. That is to say, it has its dining rooms, its library its smoking room, its billiard tables and its bedrooms—just like any other big club in the clubland of London up West in Pall Mall. Sitting there at dinner on the night of a big contest you may rub shoulders with men whose names open doors all over Europe. After dinner, ’ when the liquors have loosened the formalities of club conversations the great ones adjourn to a wonderful theater in the back of the club. It looks like a small opera, until one notices (he grim roped square under hissing arc lights in the middle of the floor. Along one side of the ring sit a row of elderly gentlemen in full evening dress. They are the judges and the !

official timekeepers. The man sitting in the middle of the row, tall and martial, is Mr. ‘‘Johnny” Douglas, one time cricket captain of England. He is white-haired and spectacled. The members joke with him and tell him he is too blind to judge a (fontest,. Nevertheless, the boxers never dare dispute his decisions. By ■he side of the old man sit his two sons, J. W. H. Douglas—strangely enough, captain of England's cricket team today — and his brother. '.Pickles,” the finest amateur boxer England possesses. At a fight at the N. S. C. everything is orderly, quiet, circumspect.If by any chance an aristocratic member should so far forget himself as to cheer a good “wallop,” he would be called to order by "Johnny.” The old man will hold up his hand and stop the contest for a moment. “Gentlemen,” he will say, ‘‘may I remind you that this is the home of British sportsmanship. Let us please give the boxers a chance, and refrain from unseemly outbursts.” Then the □ld gentleman turns to the boxers and takes his cigar from his mouth. ‘Box on.” says he. FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Do Not Enter Silo Until Blower Is Turned On. Turn the machine blower on and leave it on for at least two minutes before anyone is permitted to enter a partly filled silo. Unless this rule is followed the result is likely to be dead men, says the United States department of agriculture. Annually fatalities occur among farmers and their helpers as a result of the workmen entering halt-filled silos after the deadly carbon monoxide gases have had a chance to accumulate directly above the freshly ensiled corn. A few days ago two Illinois farmers were killed and another was rendered seriously sick by silo gases which are almost as dangerous as» the poisonous mustard gases used during the recent war. In this instance, one of the farm workmen entered a 50-foot silo which had been hafltfilled the previous day. Some time_ elapsed and when he did not come out, another of the hands , ascended into the -silo. Neither re- , appeared, though the pther workers shouted to them repeateedly to come down. » • Fearing an accident, the farm owner finally climbed into the silo. He also was immediately overcome by i the -poisonous lumps and ’only '.the ; fact that others followed him; forced ) open the extra silo 'dodrs and- carried s him into the'.open air saved his life.' j The two other men were suffocated t immediately. j Each year, a number of accidents of 5 this kind occur, due largely to care--3 lessness and ignorance of the proper methods of eradicating the danger-

ous gases. The preventive measures | are simple and efficient and. where they are followed, there is no danger. No workman should <’> , r enter it partly filled silo, after the enilsaged corn has had an opportunity to develop poisonous carbon monoxide rhscs overnight, until the machine blower has started. The fresh air dilutes and si alters the obnoxious gases to the extent that they are rendered harmless. After the blower has been operated for two minutes, it is perfectly safe for the workmen to enter. Another precaution which should be practiced religiously Is riot to » wedge the silo doors into place until they are needed to prevent the waste to the ensiled corn. Many farmers follow the practice of placing most of the doors before any great amount of corn is cut and deposited in the silo. Tills prevents free circulation of air through the silo which, in turn, operates to favor the accumulation of I carbon monoxide and other deadly j silo gases. — — • IF THEY COULD STOP AND REST Your kidneys have worked without ceasing from the hour of your birth.
