Anyway who would want to be the Greece king. Henry Ford with his $180,000,000.00 in cash in the bank will soon be able to afford a Lizzie. The bonus to the ship builders will amount to $75,000,000.00 a year and still this poor country of ours could not give the soldiers a few hundred dollars. For fear that you'll not be able to go to the voting precinct on October 9th, step up to democratic headquarters above this office and fill out your registration blank. You must register or you cannot vote in November. With the football season opening this week, the world's baseball series set for next week, the war going on in Turkey and Greece, the abdication of the Greek king and the political campaigns warming up there ought to be enough material to talk and worry about besides the coal shortage and how one is going to pay the bill even after he gets the coal. Albert J. Beveridge has taken the stump and is defending the Harding administration with all his eloquence in everything it has done. He tries to defend the president’s veto of the bonus bill, the passing of the tariff bill and other measures and one would think that he was trying to be a regular republican—at least until the election. The American Legion in state convention at Terre Haute adopted resolutions favoring a state bonus for the soldiers and that a bill to that effect bo presented to the legislature next year, that sporting events and entertainments be forbidden in Indiana on Memorial Day and that a bill be passed governing boxing. Now we’ll see what the people of Indiana will do for the veterans. King Constantine of Greece, dethroned monarch who lost the throne following the war, only to be recalled a few months later, abdicated yesterday and left conditions in his country in a most serious state of affairs. Once the idol of his people he is now a fugitive and must seek shelter from a displeased and angry people. It ap-

pears that the rulers over there have about as hard a job trying to please the people as bur public officials do in this country and that the people are equally as changeable. State officers of the American Legion were elected at Terre Haute yesterday and excellent men were selected for the responsible positions. Talking about Legion officers, Adams RATS DIE so do mice, once they eat RAT-SNAP. And they leave no odor behind. Don’t take our word for it —try a package. Cats and dogs won’t touch it. Rats pass up aii food to get RAT-SNAP, three sizes. 35c size (1 cake) enough for Pantry, Kitchen or Cellar. 65c size (2 cakes)) for House, coops, or small buildings. $1.25 size (5 cakes) enough for all farm and out-buildings, storage buildings, or factory buildings.

Post No. 43 has within its membership a number of excellently qualified men who are capable of being state officers and of guiding the polices and destinies of the state organization, and as a matter of home pride and expression of confidence we have tn our local men it may not be too early to start a boom for one of them for one of the state offices, providing they want the honor. John Tyndall has made a success in business because he worked untiringly at the job, gave service and value for the patronage received, was absolutely honest and dealt with his customers in a business-like way. Honesty and work were born in Mr. Tyndall and he has lived it every minute of his life and while serving as a public servant always respected the confidence placed in him by giving service in return. Men of Mr. Tyndall’s type are the kind we need in congress and we confidently believe that the voters of Adams county will be only too glad to help elect him to congress.

CARD OF THANKS We take this way of thanking our many friends and relatives for the kindness and sympathy shown us in this sad hour by the death of our dear father. Also do we thank our friends and neighbors for the beautiful floral offerings and the kind assistance given at the home especially we wish to thank the ladies of the church who helped about the house. MUMMA FAMILY —> > DECATUR PEOPLE WILL SEE LEO DITRICHSTEIN Leo Ditrichstein, the famous comedian, whose tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific last season in his famous Brpadway success—“ The Great Lover” —piled up the largest box office receipts earned by any male star : n this country since the earlier tours of David Warfield in “The Music Master.” comes to the Majestic, Fort Wayne, Friday night in "Under False Pretenses,” by Ben Hecht.

• Brethren church ngout 53 years. But our brother is gone. The here , of many a hard fought battle has exchanged his armor for a crown of fadeless glory. Thus one by one the fathers are falling in the ranks of the church militant to join the church triumphant. Good-bye father Mumma. we will meet you in the morning of God's eternal day! . —a — Will Spend More for Physical Education An increase of $<183,000 in annual expenditures for physical education in the United States is announced in a report of three years' progress made by the National Physical Education Service, the National Committee of which includes Walter Camp. William Kent. Dr. Charles Mayo, Dr. J. H. McCurdy. Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, Mrs. Mary Roberts Rinehart, Dr. Thomas A. Storey and S. Brinckerhoff Thorne. The Committee announces that twenty-eight of the states have enacted legislation partially effective in providing physical education and health training for school children. The campaign will be continued with the aim of giving every youngster in the Nation opportunity for health and normal physical development. Although the progress during the last three years has given this fundamen tai training to 500,000 additional children, yet, at the present time, only slightly more than one-tenth of the 22,000,000 of school age are being reached. State campaigns will be pressed during the coming winter in eight of the middle western states, i

In 22 agriculture schools all (100%) of the boys who have had one year or more of the vocational course in high school, and who are at work, are engaged at farming. This involves 102, boys in the 22 agriculture schools. These figures show that the Indiana vocational schools in agriculture I performing one of the functions. they are intended to perform, namely, to give vocational training to future j farm workers. The training which these boys re-j ceive is adding to the wealth of the state because of the improved meth-1 ods of farming taught in school and put into practice on the farms of the, community. In Shelbyville, for example, the boys in the vocational ■ class tested 15,000 ears of seed corn, one year. This tested corn was planted on 32 Shelby county farms and yielded 11% more than the untested corn on other fields in Shelby county. Boys who have taken the vocational course in agriculture, which prepares them to be farmers, are,also able to meet college entrance requirements, as shown by the fact that 104 boys who have had the vocational i course in agriculture are in college, I 36 of these boys being in the college agriculture course.

Rumored Harding M ill Not Seek Renomination Toledo, 0.. Sept 28—An insidious I tale— and by insidious one means po- ■ Ittkally dn-agiroUA—ia going the ’ rounds among Republicans here and ■ elsewhere in Ohio to the effect that ('President Harding is so tired of his job that in due time he will announce that he will not accept a renominarion I for the presidency. The story has this basis: Many of I those political pilgrims from the; ' President's home state who have been to Washington have come back here with gossip that Mr. Harding found the presidency a super-human, task and that it was wearing him I out. Those who know from past exi perience with American presidents how they feel in the first two years | will bear testimony that Harding's ' attitude is no novel. It was in the | first year of Mr. Wilson's first adi ministration that he exclaimed to a group of callers that he never could ' understand hqw anyone in his right senses could ever seek the presidency. i Yet the question of renomination i was not personal with Mr. Wilson, any more than it will be with Mr. Harding. The party decides the matter. —,, . , .— o — Truck and Man Fell When Cable Broke A two-ton Indiana truck and a garage employe fell a distance of about fourteen feet when a cable on the ele- , valor in the Durkin garage broke about 7 o'clock this morning. The! I truck had been on the second floor of the garage for repairs and was

i placed on the elevator to be lowered to the first floor when the accident 1 happened. The garage man was standing at the side of the truck and 1 landed between the truck and the wall. The front end of the truck, which came down flr*t, was slightly l damaged.

"Teachers on a strike, no school,” was the shrill cry from one end of the district to the other. Ninety-one school teachers quit their jobs today. Yesterday, a bond election of $68,000 to pay outstanding | orders for the teachers’ salaries was I voted down. "No pay day, no work," was the teachers' ultimatum. The school board is in a quandary ' I It will take some time to arrange an other election. There are no funds; available to pay the salaries. But the kids are happy.
