Taxes will be the big issue of the coming campaign in Indiana and the democrats go to bat with a bunch of home run hitters and dependable flciders. in connection with the July celebration for the Yeomen it would be a great feature if a class of several hundred men. women and children coujd be initiated. Think it over The insurance is good and it might help the cause we are fighting for. Get in a supply ot wood or some other kind of fuel. Congress has announced they will study the miners strike. Several investigations started three or four years ago are still being scrutinized between week-end trips. It’s a sure sign of a long, cold winter. We havn't any tips from the wise ones but with the coal strike dragging on and the railroad men growling in audible growls which are almost barks it looks like the wise and thrifty ones will start to fill the coal bins before the frost is on the pumpkins. It may be a little late then. We we«e perfe, tly willing that Bluffton should land a Eord factory and to wish them succes and much joy but when they go to claiming the Clover Leaf shops we object. For two decades or more we have had that to fall back on and when all other efforts failed we could gain consolation and hope from rumors and messages and newspaper clippings. And now our friends from Wells county propose to put us entirely off the map by laying Claim to this. It's almost more than we can stand in these days when prosperity insists on staying just around the corner but if you wait on it and have the same experience we have your boys will be old and wrinkled before you land it and Bluffton will be getting mail from a rural route out of this city.

1 A dollar pr two from each person who can alford it will provide playgrounds for the children of this community, beautify a number of spots in the city and make every body happier. , Don't say Its a needless and useless expense. It’s a very necessary one for the child who doesn't play is sick I i and the better provisions made for i them with the proper supervision, the 1 better they are off. The solicitors will I call on you next week. Bluffton folks have it figured out now that men who tried to buy Lew Johnson's (arm near that city under pretense of starting a Ford tractor plant, are the same who tried to fleece a New Haven man out of $25,000 but were tripped by the Fort Wayne police and one of them arrested. No confirmation of the Ford transaction could be obtained and nothing new has deleloped since the publicity of ten days ago. Farmers or others who deal with strangers shoMd refuse to sign options or other papers except on advice of their lawyers or bankers. It's a dangerous practise just now when several bands of swindlers seetn to be working over the country. If you read the platform ot the democratic party over carefully and every voter should do that, you will be impressed by the earnestness and the good sense of that document. It is a pledge, to save you money, to cut the overhead so that taxes can be reduced. to serve you efficiently and to restore home rule so far as creating your own public debts and paying them are concerned. Try it and see if you do not agree that it is one of the best party platforms ever offered to the citizens of this great state. And to support this the party has selected candidates who are capable and worthy. Not so long ago every paper in the country and most statesmen were deploring and with much righteousness the vast expenditure of money by one. Senator Newberry of Michigan, to gain his election. And now comes Gifford Pinchot of progressive fame who admits that he spent more than a hun dred thousand dollars to land the nomination for the senatorship in Pennsylvania. It will require thirteen years to draw that much in salaries and in the meantime he must live bn the denatured air of the capitol city. Add the expense of the November election and another primary or two and Gif is going to be a grizzled veteran before he catches up. TYPES OF HOG HOUSES SHOWN i (Continued from page one) t county Agent's office promptly at 9:30 for visits to a number of hog farms. From the number of inquries which have been made it is expected that a large number of farmers are planning on going on the tour. Any one wish ing to go is asked simply to bring an automobile along loaded to capacity with anyone who is interested. Those who do not have away to go will be provided with the same if thej* will join the party at the starting point or at any of the farms visited. During the day Belmont Farm and those of J. D. Nidlinger. J. C. Moorman, Holthouse & Faurote, 11. C. Harvey, C. W. R. Schwartz, Christian Zehr, John M. Amstutz and Dan A. Rumple will be visited. Judging contests will be given under the instruction of .Mr. Schwab of Purdue. Feeding, housing and general management problems will be discussed. HARVEY AULT DIED FRIDAY (Continued from page one) departure two sisters, Miss Josia Ault and Mrs. Clarence Smith both of Rockford, O. His father, John Ault preceded him in death a few years ago. No definite arrangements for the funeral services have been made at this time. It is probable that services will be held at the Blue Creek M. E. church east of Berne, on Sunday afternoon. Definite arrangements will be made later when word has been received from relative in Kansas. p — W-J-WAWT —: ——f ■■ — *4* WW W, Mos given »wgy wM tßc|j stove sold this week.—G«l» Co--1284t
