percent lower price rather than a coupon good on a ''dinky" premium J when you get a thousand or so. If that kind of advertising gets you re- ’ suits real genuine and legitimate . results—you don't need any other ' kind—hut—here's a little tip that '• don't cost you anything- half that' r amount spent in your newspaper—world be twice as profitable. According to the records of the i secretary of the agricultural board • some of the-money was loaned to the Kentland hank and some of it was ) deposited there. Its something new ; it the board can loan the state’s I money to a bank or an individual and 1 they are not gaining anything by ad- ' ding mystery to the transactions or delaying the placing of all their cars ou the table. The people want to know and will know the truth. i If you stop to consider results you will certainly hesitate before start- ‘ ing a trading stamp war in Decatur. Os course if you insist on doing it, I within a few months your competitor | may, have to do the same and then you have it established and your expenses will then be just that much higher and no real gain. Why don't you ask merchants in other towns I where it has been tried? It’s a hard thing to get out when once'in and it adds a lot of troubles to your business life. We don’t know who has charge of I the state road between hero and I Fort Wayne but we do know it is I kept in about as bum condition as,l any state road in Indiana.

pleasant drive from here to Fort I Wayne. Recently a lot of new stone I was placed on the road and for some I reason or other the stone is not graded in and rolled on this road as it is elsewhere. Wo are informed j that a few days of this work would make the road fine and we wonder why it isn’t done. Just now if you can drive the twenty miles in an hour you are lucky. Any of the other roads north are in good condition and that's the joke on yte state road which costs $750 a mile for maintainence.

t quarrelsome attitude within the 5 ranks: j "The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is t blaming the primary for what has s happened to Governor McCray. At I least that is about the only view , that can be taken of its present at-, titude, in view of the fact that prior to the revelation of the governor s 1 financial difficulties the News-Sentin- ’ el was a pretty consistent supporter of his policies. We do not recall that the News-Sentinel raised any serious complaint at the time of McCray’s nomination for the governorship; neither do we recall that the News-Sentinel congratulated the republicans of Indiana when, four yearn previous, they turned down McCray and chose James P. Goodrich us the party nominee for governor. In fact, McCray stood pretty well with the crowd' with which the News-Sentinel

trains until he got beyond his depth lin the financial whirlpool, and had misdirected judgment not laid him open tn the kicks of those who aided in making him u primary winner he| would still be the beau ideal of the thick and thin partisan press. To accuse the people of Indiana with being too Ignorant to choose their own public officials by popular refer-1 endum is going a long way in quest of an argument against the primary and the newspaper that resorts to this is not entitled to much public support. The News-Sentinel and the political breed it represents should have learned long before this that the people are through with gangcontrolled conventions, and efforts to bring them back into being is time wasted.’ 1 s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—S-I—l s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—S s—s ■ —
