It took Muncie a good while to wake up to It. Henry Barnhart of Rochester with a clean and splendid record in congross is being mentioned as a strong probability as the democratic nominee for United States senator and no citizen of Indiana is more deserving or would stand better the searchlight of publicity. He is able, honest, worthy. What more should be required? Candidates for county office must file a declaration of their candidacy with the county clerk not more than sixty days or less than thirty days before the primary which will be held

Help! Nanette saw the violator creeping towards her, leering, crafty. powerful. At her call a door crashed in and the cabin thundered with the roar of tight as Neewa, the bear, and Brimstone, the dog, plunged to the aid of the girl—and the man went down beneath the ripping, rending, twisting, crunching fury of their jaws! THAT FIGHT’S A THRILL THAT WASN'T EQUALLED EVEN IN “BACK TO GOD’S COUNTRY.'’ AND A SCORE OF OTHER SCENES ARE JUST AS BIG. X FIRST NATIONAL ATTRACTION fife U 7\ ImL ff r" • Roaring Rivers and Fire-Girl Forests—real men and splendid women—beasts of play and beasts of prey! They startle and delight you as only one other backwoods drama ever did. Lon Chaney, Lewis Stone, Betty Blythe and Big Cast in “Nomads of the North” from the novel by James Oliver Curwood AND WHAT A STORY! Picture it! Raoul Chailoner with his wife, Nanette, and her baby lost to the world in their little cabin in God's Great Wilderness—happy in their hiding place free from law’s injustice, their only friends a big black bear and a wolf-dog. Then comes O’Connor of the North West Mounted to take them back. And as man and wife and child, bear and dog, start down on the trail that leads straight to the gallows their whole wide world bursts into flame. A forest fire so real that it staggers you. A battle through so fierce that it awes you. And a finish so fine that you’ll cheer it. You'll have to come early if you want to get in tomorrow.

Muy 2nd, this effecting all candidates except Jor legislative otticea, prosecuting attorney and congress who must file during the same period with the secretary of state. Congress is in u deadlock That'# nothing new for that’s about all they have had now for nearly four years but Hie thing about it which takes ' the joy out of the life of the average congressman is the fact that the primaries are coming on and they feel they ought to be home. Well boys ‘there are a lot of things you Can’t explain satisfactorily any way and you may run better if you don’t try to. A campaign for now members to ‘ the farmer’s federation will be made in this county beginning next week and it would seem that every man engaged in agriculture work would by this time see the advantages of this organization, made in their interests. At least you ought to attend the meetings and hear what the men engaged in this work have to say and then decide whether or not it will be of assistance to you. * Financial experts, officials of the federal reserve banks and others who have access to figures which ought to tell the truth say that the trend for better times is now upward and while perhaps the facts at hand with most of us don't signify that greatly desired time is at hand, wo i are all hoping so. However until the farmer can sell a crop at a profit, most of the dope handed out will be figures. There is however no doubt that money is easier than a few months ago and that we have at least reached the bottom of the depres--1! sion. The climb up grade may be a 1 little slow but we believe it will be ' > sure.

Zealous folks have told us about the wickedness of many things. Whiskey, women's dress, the younger generation, theatres, moving pictures. jazz—it’s been a thorough Job. But it has lasted a trifle overlong, this business of making ourselves happier by making the world better. What would happen if we turne 1 about and went with equal fervor about the job of making the world happier by making ourselves better? —Colliers. Mathilde McCormick, 16. is to wed a riding teacher of Switzerland who is said to be 57. No one would think much of this if it were not for the fact that Mathilde is the granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, the world’s only billionaire and she will inherit several hundred million dollars some of these days. Grandpa John D. has • finally agreed but only on condition that the groom whose name is Oser must become an American. Most any one would do it for that. The city of Boston has engaged a professional press agent. Wise Mayor Curley, Intelligent publicity is whet every concern needs —city, individual or corporation. First have it, then tell about it. Every business needs a professional advertising director, as much as a ship needs a pilot. The man who says, “Oh, I know how to advertise my business,’’ is as foolish as though he tried to steer a chip through Hell Gate. Publicity is a SCIENCE, exact, and every day making new discoveries. —Arthur Brisbane. _• LEAVE MAY 15TH FOR LOS ANGELES (Continued from page one) of years been considered one of the livest and most competent young men of the community, strictly honest, of pleasing personality and with splendid ability to do things.

HAD THAT TIRED, WORN-OUT FEELING Do you know that “awful tired feeling,” languidness, lame or weak back, sore muscles, stiff or swollen joints, or rheumatic pains usually indicate kidney trouble? Foley Kidney Pills act promptly and effectively. Mrs. Robert Lilly, 709 Alton 81.. Alton, 111., writes: "For threo-.years I had a tired, wornout feeling. Various treatments failed. I began to improve on the second dose of Foley Kidney Pills and today I feel like new. Sold everywhere.

Warning Against Heavy Hauling Road Superintendent to Arrest Those Found Violating the Road Law. Thaw Hits Highways. Chas. E. Magley, county road supt.. today issued a warning that his assistant superintendents are on the look-out and will arrest and prosecute any oge violating the law which prohibits heavy hauling. HEAVY HAULING IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL for any person to haul over any turnpike, macadam or gravel road (the terra “gravel road” to include any road grad'd and graveled with not less than one yard of gravel to eight feet in width and nine feet in length of such road) at any time when the road is thawing through or by leason of wet weather is in condition to be cut up and injured by heavy hauling, a load on any vehicle with tires of less than three inches in width, the combined weight of which load and vehicle, including the drivi er, shall be more than twenty-five hundred pounds; or on any vehicle with tires of three inches and less than four inches in width, the combined weight 1 of which load, vehicle and driver, shall be more than three thousand , or on any vehicle with tires of four inches and less than five inches in width, the combined weight of which load, vehicle and driver, shall be more than thirty-five hundred pounds; or on any vehicle with tires five inches or over ~n width, the combined weight of which load, vehicle and driver shall be more than thirty-eight hundred pounds. Any person violating, any provision ■of this section shall, on conviction, be fined not less than five dollars nor more than fifty dollars for each load so hauled. This includes traction engines weighing over the above limit. Provided. That any road superintendent shall have the police power to arrest upon sight any person who is seen violating or by warrant any person who has violated any of the provisions of this section within the county or township for which road superintendent is elected or appointed, and that, on conviction of the defendant in such cause, there shall be assessed by the court trying the cause a fee of two dollars in eaqh case, to be paid to the person making such arrest.—Acts 1907, Chapter 234. County Road Superintendent Magley states that he believes that most people are willing to co-operate with the road officials in preventing damages to the highways. A heavy vehicle in one trip can often do more damage than our county repair equipment can remedy in a month. We want the assistance of every one interested in good roads to help us maintain them in this crisis of unreasonable weather conditions. The term VEHICLE applies as well to 'he large automobile, touring cars and trucks which cut deep ruts and dash he road materials across the fences when propelled at a speed contrary to law or safety. All of the district superintendents are instructed to patrol the roads and arrest violators. May we all live up to the ROAD LAW. CHARLES E. MAGLEY, County Superintendent of Highways. ADVERTISEMENT.
