Foreign Representatives Carpenter A Company. 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City N. Y. Life Building. Kansas City, Mo Monday is Labor Day—no paper—we're going to the races. Better come and go along. Two or three weeks of hot dry weather and then a few snappy days will make the corn ami beet crop the best ever harvested here and will do more than any thing else for the prosperity of the farmers of this section. The Huntington Press is opposed to the nomination of an Indianapolis man for governor and suggests for the democrats Erank Dailey, W. H. Eichhorn or Claude Bowers on the theory that some new blood would attract attention of the voters. Evidently there will be plenty of contenders when the time comes. , The Fort Wayne News says that ( if the trustees of the McCray prop- ( erties are given a couple of years ( to work it out the governor will come ] out ahead but if forced to liquidate ] now he will pay not more than twen- s ty-tlve cents on the dollar That s expecting a lot from the trustees or < little from the governor but it is , probable that if time is given the results will be better than if a quick cleanup is made. You will enjoy the day at Bellmont Park if you go Monday. Iwo local men. Dan Beery and Lase Miebers are trying to put on an entertainment that will meet your approval. They have completed plans for a splendid program of auto racing and with a number o fthe best racers in the game entered assure you plenty of thrillers. They have worked hard and have done their part. You owe them your support and the way to give it is to buy a ticket and attend the raise. Some one writing on present conditions and' referring to the lack of prosperity for the farmer, suggests that co-operation between the farmer and industry is one of the best hopes for the futur/. Mutual understanding rather than the creaion of blocs and cliques is what will bring about the necessary economic improvement. Work with your creameries, sugar plant, elevator men and others who are striving to do their best and who will appreciate your assistance. Not sueh bad advice either. b doesn’t seem to make any difference whether a farmer has forty acres or fifteen thousand acres. He has had a difficult time getting by the past two or three years. The trouble is that farm values have tumbled to a point that is serious and un til the. farms can bo operated ala prolit the condition will grow worse ins'ead of better. The big problem of restoring real prosperity in this country is to plan a means of securing a profitable market for the farm products and the longer that is put off the harder it will be to do. The miners and operators have evidently not been frightened by the threats and statements of Governor Pine hot or the president. Any way they are out and the anthracite fields •ata as quiet as a graveyard today. It will now probably be up to the president to operate the mines as promised and that's a big Job. The public do not realUe the seriousness but will later, if the strike continues

and there Is no production. Already the soft coal miners have hinted at a strike in sympathy and that would mean untold suffering to millions. Be wise and put In your fuel while you \ can - -J — LLJL Every penny taken from the tax rate is a boost for the community and a help in every way. Remember I that a high tax rate prevents people ’ from building homes for it adds to the i annual overhead, makes it impossible .' to secure new industries and causes > I those here to postpone additions and J improvements. A low tax rate is the - best asset a community can have in these days and while it should be sufficient, to operate with and maintain our improvements it should not be any greater than that. During the next month we will make our tax rates for next year and it should be the most serious act of every official so empowered. It means much to ail of us, individually and collectively. If presiding elders oi churches and trustees of colleges know how simple. God-fearing men and women respect, not to say revere, the Bible as we all know it, they would not continue to countenance the repeated efforts to make the book strange to those who love It. We are speaking, of course, of the King James translation. Yesterday an editorial from the Chicago Tribune on this subject was reprinted on this page. It probably reflects the average man's view of (.he attempts of biblical scholars to wipe out the text so familiar to the world and to substitute something not better, or so good, but different and “modern.” Let the sacred Scriptures stand. There is more in them than men can absorb. Why distract them by a multiplication of versions? Few of these translations have added materially to the spiritual store of mankind. It were better to help men to live up to the Bible instead of paring it down to a cold case of commonplace jargon, without inspiration or even literary flavor. — Indianapolis News.
