The edition is filled with attractive advertising, each containing a message' worth reading, a welcome in itself I to the visiting officials of Yeomanry. Watch for Tuesday's paper. Everybody ready’ Tuesday is the big day. We have gone a long ways with the preparations to convince the visiting officials of Yeomanry that this is the one finest spot in all creation. We believe it and we hope they will feel likewise after their visit here. Any way we will have a good time, will get together and say howdy, will sing and laugh and talk over how we can best serve humanity and "save the children." Picnic with the crowd Tuesday, join the parade, decorate your home and business place, if you haven't red and green bunting hang out a flag, sing in the chorus, get in the game, help make the day a success. The committee has worked hard and its up to you now to show that we are real folks and that we have ndF rm-“ represented you to them. We have told them you are the salt of the earth, we believe it and we depend upon you to show them Tuesday. Governor McCray decided not to permit the proposed contest between Dempsey and Brennan at Michigan City on Labor Day, because the laws of Indiana do not permit prize fights. The governor says that if it is a prize fight it is in opposition to the laws of the state and if it is not a real fight, the people will be gulled. He also says that it is a difficult thing: for a governor to have the militia in ths south part of the state to preserve order while the law’s are being broken by consent in the north part of the state. The trouble seems to be to draw the line between a prize fight and a boxing exhibition. Charles L. Knight, representative in congress from the Fourteenth Ohio

district, and. in the recent Ohio primary, a candidate for the Repub lican nomiu- tion for Governor, has announced that he will resign his seat in the house of representatives as soon as he can do so with justice to the interests of his district. He is not resigning in order to be tree to : make his race for governor. He w I not nominated in the primary, and he says that he has no intention of running as an independent candl date. He is resigning, he declares, because he interprets the primary result as approval of the national administration's legislative program, for which he has little liking. This is a somewhat unusual situation. Mr. Knight has long been active in re publican politics. He has been a member of the republican state central committee in Ohio at various times, and he has been a delegate to republican national conventions. Both as editor and publisher of the Akron Beacon Journal and as a stock i raiser he has been, until recently, in sympathy wifti his party aims, but the tariff and the ship subsidy are i too much for him. He says that th< i vote as polled in the primary indi- ! cates that his constituents are for these, measures as part of the Republican program. He, however, is against them. The best way out o’ this dilemma, he believes, is to re sign. Mr. Knight finds himself in an unenviable place, and forced to make a choice which in any event will be subject to criticism. But he is not alone. Other senators and represen tatives are in the same position.— Indianapolis News. * CLOTHING STORES CLOSE The fallowing clothing stores will close Tuesday from 9:45 to 2:30.

August 19.—(United Press).—Army airplanes have brought the "fear of God" to the aborigines of the Philippine Islands. Strange reports of how the natives act and what they think when the aerial activities of the Third Aero Squadron recently on duty at Jolo Fulu Archepeligo. Philippine Islands reached the War Department today. Some Moros beieve the airplane an emmesary from Allah; others that the superhuman occupants are all seeing and all powerful; and, still others that the plane is a dragon out of the South Seas, come to wreck dire vengence on all bed Moros, according to an old Arabic tale. One pilot reported that while on a recognisance flight over the island of Jolo, he was at a loss to account for a native who was riding along the highway holding aloft in outstretched arms a small white sheet, as if in sup plication. Upon laiidw learned that certain natives are authorized to carry harongs or knives by written permit. Those apprehended with knives, but without permits, are severely punished. The native noticed by the pilot was carrying a barong and was holding his permit aloft for the pilot to read from his plane, fear lug that a bomb might be dropped on him or that the plane might swoon down on him and confiscate his weapon.
