DON'T GET SOUR: — Charles Schwab, who has made millions in the steel industry and is considered one of America's most successful business men. spoke to the Bond club in New York yesterday and he advised those who wish to succeed to wear a smile, have a good time, keep your head up and be fearless. “Go through life smiling, and have a good time,” sai dtlie steel magnate. "See the bright side of things; be optimistic. No good judgment ever comes unless you are in a happy frame of mind. Your great troubles that you magnify disappear shortly like trifles in the air, and you don't think of them in the years to come. “Make friends because you are a real fellow yourself and not because you try to make believe. Live up to the maxim of what a good fellow is. 1 don’t expect you to be a 'goody', feliow. It might be a good thing it some of you were. But be a real fellow. Above all, honest, straightforward and loyal to your friends, loyal to your country, loyal to your firm and those associated with you. “Put your heart in your business; carry your head in the air. Believe in this country and believe in fts development; believe in its people and their integrity. Believe in the maxim that I have given you, that this country is going tp be the material workshop of the world. Believe in the industries of the country. Back them with your judgment, ami back them with your persuasion. “Be fearless as to what you are going to do, and happiness will come to you. prosperity will come to the country, and you will do your part in building to a greater status this nation of ours, great as she is today, greater than any other nation in the world." # What became of the $155,000 which I. Newt. Brown, secretary-treasurer of the agricultural board says he loaned to the Kentlknd Deposit and Discount bank and which they say they Sever got and which Governor McCray says he considered a personal loan? Isn’t that a sorry condition of affairs? And that's just ono sample of how your money has been wasted. There are several millions to be accounted for and' if the people are wise they will demand the accounting to the last penny. Seven and ouc-bujf to fifteen years for killing your wife is something new in the way of sentences it seems to us. That’s what the judge of the St. Joseph circuit court of Michigan dealt out to Ralph Lindsey for shooting his wife as she kncalt before him and pleaded for mercy. Michigan doos enforce capital punishment, but at that wo believe that Lindsey was entitled to a few more years. Aud now the quqcqbqtiqou is, will be And now the question is, will ha After the membership list for Hit* country club is made up a lot of fellows will want in. That's the way it always is.

According to political gossip froit Portland, John A. M. Adair who serv ed five years in congress from this district, is seriously considering t return to the game as a candidate foi ■« that same position. Mr. Adair knowh r how to campaign and has always **• proven a vote getter. His admirers t over the eighth district will anxiously await his official announcement. The sudden death of Dr. Steinmetz 8 removes one of the greatest electrical 8 wizards the country has ever known. 0 9 Dr. Steinmetz was head engineer for ) the General Electric company and 5 his services will not only be missed ) by this great and progressive organ!I zation but by the world at large. Tut, tut, some wild member of the Oklahoma legislature called another member a liar aud then some one knocked him down and then seven or eight jumped on him and the rest of them helped separate them and the wild man was thrown out. Well the republic must be saved. One of Lew Shanks planks in his platform for governor is a proposal that a few state roads be electrically lighted from border to border. Os course the few will all center in Indianapolis and the state is tired now of paying taxes to improve the central part of the state. Lloyd George is smart. He toured the country and got the expression of the people before visiting the officials at Washington and that’s a great argument in this politically inclined nation. Mr. Ford says he is for Coolidge if he enforces the dry laws which ough't to at least settle his politics. For some reason or other the republican press has been trying to disown him for several years. Lew Shanks wants the country roads lighted with electricity but what the average citizen wants more Is a little light on the state house. WORLD SERIES HEROES. United Press Sports Editor Lists Stars of 1923 Series. By HENRY L. FARRELL. (United Press Sports Editor.) ’ New York, Oct. 27. (United Press.) — Mechanical play in the world's series of 1923 between the Yankees and Giants was the most perfect ever staged over a stretch of six games in the opinion of veteran managers and baseball men. Brilliant fielding ami spectacular hitting were scattered throughout the entire series and were not confined to either team, although because it brought them victory, the work of the Yankees might have been considered more important and more spectacular. With fine fielding on all sides, con sistent hitting and good pitching shared by several stars, it was impossible to pick out the big outstanding hero of the series. The following nominations as heroes, certainly could be made, however. Joe Dugan, Frank Frisch, Erin Ward, Babe Ruth, Joe Bush, Heinie Groh, Bob Mcusel, Casey Stengel. Joe Dugan leads the list. No third baseman, including the brilliant Groh, ever gave the exhibition of mechanical perfection in a world's series that was put forth by the former Holy Cross star. Dugan's fielding ws spectacular. His recoveries were consistently sensational and his throws were astounding. His hitting was bard and most timely. For several years Dugan was on the threshold of stardom, but he stepped over this year with room to spare. Dugan is beyond doubt the greatest third baseman of bis day.

Bluffton Motorist Says v - That He Was Shot At Is — a Bluffton, Oct. 27. —Pnllse are seekir ing to solve the mystery of a reported s attempt to shoot Joe Scaffa, local piano factory worker, near a bridge 8 at a lonely point one mile west and 8 one-half north of Bluffton, shortly beI- fore 11 o’clock Monday night. Scaffa reported to the officers that he was on his way to the farm of his brother. z near Murray, and that as h« approached the bridge, he noticed that another 1 automobile block the roadway, • He sounded his hqrn and when r there was no evidence of a purpose j to clear the way for him, he became I alarmed and at a distance of about one hundred and fifty feet from the bridge he stopped and turned his machine around and started back to town. As he did so, a volley of four : or five revolver shots rang out, he • said, aud one bullet pierced the rear curtains of his Ford touring car, and crashed through the windshield, after passing within a few inches of his head. There appeared to be no effort I at pursuit. Scaffa said he took alarm because on October 5 he was held up tinder similar circumstances on another road to Murray and robbed of S4O. He reported mysterious autoists along the road on still another occasion. He said he had no idea of their identity and knew of no enemy who would seek to do him bodily harm. The police worked on a theory of some object other than robbery, since no one else has reported being molested. o RED PEPPER HEAT STOPSBACKACHE The heat of red peppers takes the “ouch” from a sore, lame back.

Brown Wants Records of His Board Examined Indiana polls. Oct. 27.—1. Newt Brown, treasurer of the state board of agriculture has asked the state board of account to make an Inimedi ate and complete examination of the records of the board of agriculture, it was learned today. Request for the probe was made to clarify the mystery surrounding a transaction in which $155,000 of the board’s funds were involved with Gov. McCray. Brown maintained that the money was intended for deposit in the Discount and Deposit Bank at Kentland —Governor McCray’s own bank.. Will jam Darroeh receiver for the bank denied that any of the board of agriculture funds had ever reached the bank. Gov. McCray insisted that the $155,000 was loaned to him personally and that the loan was amply secured by collateral. While Brown urged a probe of the board's records by the board of accounts, members of the agriculture board arc understood to be preparing to do a little investigating of their own. Arrangements are being made for a called meeting of the agricultural ’ board next week to clear up numerous misunderstandings and rumors which have been current since jt was learned the governor bad obtained a loan of $155,000 from the board's funds. .. a. ■ ■ . - WEATHER CHANGES , C.WSE SICKNESS ' Exlrrnm vtianges of w-cather during Fall caus"many colds and coughs.

Weakened from many changes in coaching systems in recent years, the ’armers are given only au outside chance to win, by western.conference fans. Indiana has no gamq scheduled.

Nov. 10. at Chicago. Leslie Mann's freshman teams will invade Jordan field tomorrow and engage the varsity in a regular game. With two weeks of preparation, Indiana hopes to hold Chicago to a low score, providing the Crimson team can get back to the form it displayed against Northwestern in its first Western Conference game at Indianapolis two weeks ago. After what amounted to a route in the first three quarters of the Wisconsin game last Saturday, the Hoosiers recovered their aggressiveness in the final quarter against the Badgers, when the latter were held scoreless except for a lone field goal. The season has been one of surprises for Indiana. When it was picked by most critics to win over De Pauw, the Crimson lost by 3 points. Indiana was not considered to have a chance to defeat Northwestern but it returned the victor by a one-point margin. Then last week, the Hoosiers were expected to hold Wisconsin to a close score, but the Badgers ran through them almost at will, coring 52 points. Hanover will play Indiana here a week from tomorrow aud local followers hope the contest will put the Crimson in condition for Chicago, since it will demonstrate the team's weaknesses without the probability of injury. Very likely Ingram will start his best lineup against the Presbyterians in an effort to correct fundamental defects. Following the Chicago game, Indiana' will meet Wabash and Purdue here on successive Saturdays winding up the season with the traditional Purdue-Indiana gridiron fight Nov. 24. o BOX SOCIAL The Walther League will hold a box social at the Zious Lutheran church, corner Monroe and Eleventh streets, Monday evening, Oct. 29.

(United Press.) —Austria is'a nation ot spendthrifts and the one characteristic for which Austrians were noted —frugality—has almost entirely disappeared since the war, according to Professor Ernest Katz, who has just returned to this city from a three months’ visit overseas. Most everyone has a job, Katz explained, but instead of saving a part of their earnings, the Austrians arc busily engaged iu spending it as rapidly as they make it. The chief occupation is eating and drinking, according to professor Katz, Vbo said that cases and drinking; places ’arc crowded constantly with persons whose sole alm, apparently, is to spend their entire salary Tor food or liquor. As tor living conditions and prices, a fiveroom apartment bouse rents on ’ uYeraga' for tIo.OW r but is very' cheap, Prcfesjor Katz

I * pointed out, since a glass of beer I costs 2,700 crowns. Industries in Austria are in a very i run-down condition, due to a lack of i n domestic market and the high duty ~ on exported finished products. t One of the interesting sights about Vienna. Professor Katz said, is the ! large numlfi-r ot bootblacks on the j streets, nearly all of them crippled war veterans to whom tho government has granted a small space on , the street with permission to conduct a shoe-shining business. Vienna, he said, is rapidly taking on its old life. o MAKE IT EARLY!—That sitting for your Xmas Photo.
