Just the right kind of weather for the finishing touches on the great corn crop. Many of the farmers are busy these days cutting corn and from all indications the yield will be one of the best ever. A democrat has been elected to congress from the state of Washington and the republican politicians are trying to find a satisfactory excuse ! for the reason. The ball is greased and seems to be going well. In Ft. Wayne a young fellow was given ten days in jail for spoedinon the city streets. Jail sentences are not pleasant and the best way t avoid them is to drive at a reasonable rate of speed and keep your foot off the gas when inclined to think that you would like to show the other fellow how fast your old lizzie car. travel. Samuel IL Guard, cf Chicago, di rector of information for the American Farm Bureau federation, said in an address here Tuesday that the next president of the United States w:ll probably be a farmer. Ho probably had President Coolidge in mind. —Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel. Oh, you can’t tell. He may have had Governor McCray in irr.nd. When you see a < rowd of children playing or running across the street, take your foot off the gas. By this, we do not mean that we approve of children playing in the street. Much against the wishes and warnings of thqir parents, children will get in the streets and many times the accidents that do happen are unavoidable. No one wants to injure or kill a child and the best way to avoid accidents is to watch ahead. When children are of school age and siheol is in progress they should attend. Nothing is to be gained by keeping a child at home and in later years the child and parents will regret the fact they kept him out of school. The law compels parents to send their children to school until they ire sixteen years old or have completed the grades and this law will be enforced in Adams County. Bankers and farmers from the’ great northwest called on President Coolidge yesterday aud urged that a special session of congress be called to deal with the farmer's situation in regards to the low price of wheat and other farm products. Since the election of a democrat to congress from the state of Washington the appeals for the special session seems to gain favor among the politicians who at least would like to go into the campaign Wiling Hie farmers that con press had solved the situation end that from now on the farmers would be riding on the high waves of prosperity. Legislation by congress will not correct the matter. In one sense it is a case of supply and demand, which will adjust itself eventually, and If congress wishes to do something for the farmer and the country as a whole, its efforts should be devoted in cpcajug or octa.u.ag for-

—i—, eign markets for products produced in America. Pennsylvania is not "a good neigh bor." according to Governor Sflzor, of New Jersey, bet ause of the state coal tax. He says that his state, with New York and the New England states and Delaware, paid nearly $4,000,000 extra last year for their coal because of it, and that Pennsylvania "openly admitted that its purpose was to make the coal consumers of those states pay the running expenses of Pennsylvania." The tax would not be so onerous, Governor Silzer points out, if it were only the 13 1-2 cents which the state gets on each ton nt $9, but the Pennsylvania fuel commission has ruled that 50 cents may be added to each ton at the mine-mouth to cover the tax and "incidental expenses." It is the "incidentals" that right along make coal costly to the man who burns it, and profitable to everybody else who even gets its dust on his fingers. Governor Silzer thinks the tax allowance, if rescinded, might very properly absorb some of the 60 cents increase of the strike compromise. Governor Silzer does not know the coal business in Pennsylvania. It never gives up anything, not even a tax, that helps it- make a profit.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. I SPORTS!

At the end of life’s manifold pathways, there is always one common road that all must tread. Each individual may have their own peculiar experiences in life but a wise Father has arranged His providences so that ail must share a common experience in death. It has fallen to the lot of our brother to travel that common road. Mr. Ludlow L. Sheiine was born in the state of Virginia on the eighth day of October, 1861. Leaving his home when he was a boy he came to Indiana and settled jn a farm in Adams county. He was an energetic and industrious worker and spent several years in tilling the soil in Adams county. On June 21st. 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Maxa Moore, who shared the joys and burdens of life with him for nearly twenty years and then passed on to the other side on the 15th of June. 1900. To this union were born eight chiidroa, Mr. George A. Sheiine of Didsbury. Alberta, Canada; Earl Sheiine, of Kokomo, Ind.; Andrew J. Sheiine of Red Deer, Alberta, Can’.; Sarah Ellen Sheiine of Bobo. Ind.; Wm. 11. Sheiine of Syracuse, N. Y.; Theodore V. Sheiine of Detroit. Mich.; Harry Me I Sheiine) Albaugh of Dennison. Ohio. One child passed away in infancy. On July 4th. l#o9, Mr. Sheiine was again united in marriage to Ettie Laughery of Decatur. Ind. Soon after this marriage ho left Indiana and went west. Settling first in Cardwell. Mo. From there he went to Arkansas and settled on a farm. The last few years of his life were spent in that state. For several months he had been in failing health. He made a heroic effort to regain his health but yielded to the fate when he realized that he was losing hi the struggle. A few months ago he came to Kokomo, Ind. and was cared for in the home of his son, Earl, until the end came on Sunday evening, Sept. 16, 1923. He had attained the age of 61 years II months and 8 days. Mr. Sheiine was a hard and industrious worker, a good father and husband, a generous and accommodating neighbor and a patient sufferer. He never united with any church but he frequently declared his belief in God and during his last sickness often said he was satisfied to live or ready to die. He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, six sons, one daughter, twelve grandchildren, two sisters, one brother and a host of friends. Funeral services were conducted on Thursday at 10:30 at the Baptist church. Kokomo, Ind., by Rev. Lan- ’ caster and assisted by Rev. E. A. ' Bunner of Lincoln, Ind. Th' farmer must feel purty much buncoed when his cle tariff friends finally admit that nothin’ k<n help him but a kind Providence.

FIRPO WON PRESTIGE. Wn Really Knocked Out In Fir*' Round with Dempsey (By HENRY L. FARRELL) (United Press Sports Editro) New York, Sept. 29. (United Press.) —No loser ever won more prestige or earned more glory in defeat than Lulf Angel Flrpo did when he was knock i ed out by Jac k Dempsey in a fight that for thrills, action and savage fight ing surpassed any drama ever enacl ed in u ring or on the stage. t Rather unfortunately for him. Firpc was not restrained by his advisorr from making some alibis about the referee that, even if they were true retracted somewhat from the sports manship that the Argentine was thought to have'possessed. Flrpo did not need an alibi for the showing he made in the ring agains' the champion. He was not expected to make any excuses for a showing that was the bravest and most gallant that a fighter has ever shown in suet an important contest. When Firpo said he was fouled twice by Dempsey he was partially right Dempsey did hit him once or the breakaway; Dempsey did hit him 1 on one occasion when the round had ended, and the champion may have punched him once before he was back in a fighting position after a knock down. Firpo should have known, however I that the infractions of the rules were I staged when both fighters were in I such a frenzy of excitement and when | they were both punched so dizzy that ’ they had no idea that rules ever existed and when they were influenced , only by the savage dictates of self- 1 preservation. Perhaps Firpo docs not know it.. because he admitted after the fight that he did not hear the timekeeper counting at any time during the bout.; but Firpo should take the word of unprejudiced writers in the press-box J who KNOW that he was knocked out i in the first round before Dempsey had done anything about which he com-. plained. Early in the first round, Firpo was ’ on the floor for the count of ten. He was not declared out because the new I system of counting established in New York failed to work perfectly I under the stress and intense excite-1 ment of the moment. There are two timekeepers at the ringside, as provided for in the New York rules. One handles the bell and ’ the other timekeeper arises on a ’ knockdown and calls the count from . his watch. The referee follows the ofivnt of the timekeeper. When Firpo went to the floor this particular time, the timekeeper reach-1 ed ten. beyond all question of doubt., He hesitated then, apparently expecting the referee to declare: “Out.” i The referee looked at the timekeeper ’ and just as apparently thought that it was his duty to declare the fight ended. I In that second or two of hesitation. Firpo arose to his feet and the fight went on. although he' had been really j knocked out. 0 Printed velvet and brocade lames are used for the most georgoe.s even- ( ing coats. 1
