It's great sport and interest grows from year to year. Os course we will get the scores and be glad to give them if you call us. The sugar factory is cutting nine hundred tons of beets a day now, running smoothly and have already manufactured a million and a half tons of sugar. That shows a real organization for the record is the best made since the plant was established here eleven years ago. Here's hoping you keep it up boys. We’re all for you. There are a lot of reasons why we should have a country club. First its the best health builder business men can find, it boosts the city and community, it provides pleasure for men ant. women and its clean, out-; door life. Golf and tennis are great games to keep young men from getting old and make old men younger. If the charges against Governor Walton are true, of course he ought to be removed for they are serious anil no state could afford to countenance such acts and if they are true it is regrettable, for Walton certainly has courage and had the opportunity to serve his state to his own credit. The ’'bust’’ in Governor McCray's affairs, coupled with several other disastrous business smash-ups in Indiana during the past few weeks has caused a slow-up, especially in those circles which deal in securities. This will not clear until the matters have been disposed of and then investors will no doubt be timid for sometime. It's bad. Hallowe'en approaches ami it might be well to warn the boys that tho old tint# practice of destroying property is no longer permitted. Have a good time boys and girls but remember that in this age when everything costs so much that loss of property means a great deal to most folks. The police will arrest those who attempt such things so better be careful. ' I Fireman Jackson proved himself a hero yesterday when the connecting rod on the locomotive in which be was riding, broke and tho engineer was rendered unconscious. Jackson held his head, grabbed Engineer Nikvlia and pulled him to safety with the train dashing along thirty mjjes an hour. Those who know insist, it was a heroic act and while Jackson is modest about it and doesn't think ho performed a brave uct his friends will as kof ra Carnegie modal for him. Anyway he saved his friend's life and that’s worth something for a fellow to think about. We have heard that several local business bouses apo svrioutily considering a contract with an old-fashioned trading stamp scheme. Those who remember when that brand of advepUsing was in vogue, will tell you ft was the most expensive and least . productive ever engaged in. Your (urnpetitor. of course, will have to go yof one better' and tijftff ; oa ’ til —xs

to see his bet and raise him a stack of blues, and so on until you wake up. Those who have been most successful in business can easily prove to you that the only advertising which can be kept up and which really brings results worth while is newspaper display. It’s the cheapest and best and , your money remains at home. For a long time we have been free of this kind of schemes and those who engage in it now should realize they are starting something for which they may be sorry. o Filled to Overflowing With the Joy of Living The simplest remedies are nearly always the best. That’s why thousands of bright-eyed, clear-skinned men and women keep themselves tit and fine by having an abiding faith in CELERY KING the simple, old-fashioned. inexp< nsive vegetable tea that your grandmother used to make. It purifies the blood, regulates the bowels, keeps the stomach clean and sweet and is the best tonic laxative you can take. The kiddies like it. too. for it is gentle and mild. Give it to them when they are fretful and feverish. j Court House | Seeking A Divorce Grace Moser today filed suit for a divorce from her husband, Albert D. Moser, charging non-support and cruel and inhuman treatment. The complaint was filed through Attorney C. L. Walters. The complaint states that the couple were married in 1905 and separated on October 23, 1923. They reside in Bellmont Park. One child has been born to the couple. Murphy Divorce Trial Is On.
