Say, didn’t it rain? And wasn’t it a dandy? The farmers are smiling today for it made the ground just right for fall plowing, helped the corn and beets and was needed. It is costing the state of Indiana over $7 500 mo.e every hour to operate this year than it did eight years ago under Governor Ralston and Ed. Jackson is second officer in the state. He has -jerve to ask the people to promote him to first place. The present tax laws not only made it possible for the state to spend much more money than before, but also gave every county and city and township the right to boost and they did. That's why taxes are higher. When you vote this year remember you are voting for certain principles and the officers who will have the adoption and enforcement of them. Creating emnity and then fanning it to a flame is a dangerous past-time and usually cause for regret when it's too late. Almost every day we read of terrible consequences. Nothing is gained. Much is lost. Why make yourself and others unhappy? Why assume unnecessary burdens? Isn’t it better to support the constitution and the courts of the United States? The national campaign evidently opened yesterday. At least it got a fair start for speeches were made by John W. Davis and Charles Bryan, democratic candidates; President Coolidge, republican and Senators L.Follette and Wheeler, progressives. Each candidate spoke to the laboring men. it being their big holiday of the year. From now on the campaign promises to warm up at a rather brisk gait. Schools opened in this city today and youngsters began the year ol study. During the next nine months they will be busy with their books tests, exams., sports and other things .which go to make school days happy The average child devotes about ten years to going to school and it is well to remember, therefore, that each year represents one-tenth of the knowleddge which prepares you to fight life’s battles. Don i. waste your time, boys and girls. Just at this time when the tax rates are being fixed it is well to remember that it’s a very difficult thing for the officials to reduce taxes on a lower valuation and still comply with all the requests for improvements. The men are honest and a s anxiou;; , to progress as any of us, but they are also wise enough to know that there is a limit to which taxes may be increased. What we all want is whatever is best tor all of us and that is the posit ion taken by all the Ux . rattk . m board, of this county.

Face to Face r. With r. Princess Bibesco r, Author of “The Fir and The Palm” (By Joe Mitchell Chappie) D There is the charm of gentility and s Old World culture in the Roumanian I) legation at Washington where Prince 5 and Princess Bibesco preside us ) host and hostess. An atmosphere of ) art and a literary study blend in perI feet accord. Here were mementoes >of the old Roumanian costumes, books, brio-arbrad and statutes Iremindful of an ancient civilization. With all this, the glow of modern domestic happiness prevailed, for across the hail came the hostess, the mother of two charming children. Princess Bibesco, author of "The Fir and the Palm,” published by Putnam, is the daughter pf the former Prime Minister of England. Herbert Asquith, whose autobiography published several years ago made a world wide stir. As the wife of Prince Bibesco she has enjoyed an unusual career. As a debutante she was a guest at many of the courts in Europe, as member of perhaps one of the mos 3 famous families in England, now the wife of a titled husband, she was able to gather impressions of her literary work from the varied experiences that provide incidents, excitements and distractions which people crave in novels. The English author is usually a natural novel writer anyhow, but Princess Bibesco in meeting with the “smart set” ot all nations, and traveling extensively, has had unusual opportunity for observation. Inheriting the keen, receptive powers of her gifted mother as well as a goodly share of her dauntless courage, she has written stories that people talk about. It was her mother, Margot Asquith, who only recently in answering Mussolini’s inquiry at a dinner as to whether she thought American men were passionate and ; courted American women, replied in | away characteristic of the heroine of "Dodo,” intimating that American courtiers make love by telephone. "American men are always on the end of a telephone, otherwise I imagine they are much like the rest of mankind.”

ft I ] ► 1 ■ PRINCESS BIBESCO says: “Americans are interesting to the rest of the world. America makes I them think of energy, superlativeness and dollars.”

, Endowed with the sagacity and ability for calm survey characteristic of her famous father, the literary genius of Princess Bibesco has attracted critical and popular attention, for in her two volumes of short stories, “I Have Only Myself to Blame,” and "Balloons,” she proved her descriptive and narrative powers. The setting of her first novel. "The Fir and the Palm.” has a background of politics and society in London. This first novel is acclaimed a notable achievement — remarkable for its satiric brilliance. "Americans are most interesting to the people of the rest of the world. When they think of America, they think, of energy, superlativeness and dollars. Washington is settling down to become a cultural as well as a political center. American readers always seem interested in stories of , courts and courtiers. It is always in] teresting to hear the comment of. American readers. They are usually i frank and generous. The urge, to write is strong and there is some-] thing exhilarating—a fascination in the desire to tell a story about others —to say nothing of yourself and your impressions that come with the fascination of new discoveries.” Princess Bibesco will follow up her. ] first novel with a number of others | which may give an inside glimpse of i I Washington diplomatic and smart set > I life such as she iais furnished of -1 London, and will give her a prominf | ent place among the popular novelists of her time. a --' » - r _ —. . — Zrl I ■ A• a.
