The first observance of National Defense Test Day was held today. The purpose of he day is to bring the sub ject of military preparedness before tlie public. September 12th was se ' lected as the official day because on this day General John J- Pershing re- ( tires from active service in the army ( and the observance is also a recognition of the world war general's retire ’ ment. . is Aaron Sapiro. founder of the Farm ; er’s Co-operative Associations throughout the United States, an authority i on agriculture and a life-long republican came out with a statement at Knoxville, Tennessee the other day in Support of James W. Davis for president. Mr. Sapiro lauded Mr. Da- ( vis as being big enough for the high ’ office of president and commended his i foreign policy, sayng it was sound and i just the plan needed. . Mag’nus Johnson, farmer labor seaa- j tor from Minnesota and a candidatefor re-election, in referlng to pictures showing President Coolidge on his father’s farm pitching hay, says that the president is ijot the only man who can do the trick and that lie himself, pitched hay on his farm in Minnesota. The senator wants to challenge the president to a hay-pitching contest and hopes to hive better luck than he did with Secretary Wallace, when that gentleman won the milking contest. Another big question has been settled. Harry Wills, colored sieved ire • of New Orleans, out-poked Angel Firpo in 3p minutes << fist fighting in Tex Rickard's’arena in New , last night and today both of the big huskies are richer by more than a hundred thousand dollars. The pi gs didn't get real mad at each other and neither one was knocked out. Now the winner is going to have the opportunity to stand up before Jack Dempsey and taste of the champion s ‘ famous right. (

If Clarence Darrow, master criminal lawyer of Chicago, is sincere in his stand aganst capital punishment, why don't he go before the Illinois legl:- lalure and argue for the repeal of the law which inflicts the death penalty.’ Os course he could not expect to be paid a big tee Tor that, but there are some who would like to see him do it. At least it's going to be a hard job trying to hang anyone in Illinois as long as the public remembers the Leo-pold-Loeb case. John A. M. Adair, democratic candidate tor congress, who spoke in France's hall at Pleasant Mills last evening is a man well qualified to

represent the glorious eighth district iu the national house or representatives. Mr. Adair, in an instructive and intelligentway, told his audience where he stood on the important questions and what he was opposed to.

FHe wants to see a lowering of taxes, better markets for the farmer and a change In conditions which will improve the value of the farmer’s land and bring about the employment of labor at good wages. Those who know Mr. Adair's Past record, will . vouch that he is honest, sincere and a real worker in the interest of the ' people. He served ten years in congress. has had much business experience. is a gentleman and the type of i man who would serve with credit in congress. He is well versed in subjects and matters of government and is ably qualified to vote intelligently on important matters of legislation. He is safe, sensible and practical in all his actions and when he served in congress thi 8 district was represented in away equalled by none. He believes in giving service and looks upon a public office as a public trust and we believe he is just the right kind of a man needed in congress. If you did not hear Johnny Adair at Pleasant Mills last evening, you'll have an opportunity to hear him at Monroe tonight. o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦* * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ • ♦ * From the Dally Democrat files ♦ ♦ 20 years ago this day * ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* Sept. 12—Mrs. Roy Archbold burns band severely while canning fruit.

The moth, is not so much to be feared as sloth. The wheels of industry must revolve first in the head. Pretending to be wise is what makes some people appear so foolish. Child labor is a squirrel-wheel in which children are exhausted and arrive nowhere.

I • IH fill AN OLC APPLE ORCHARD There’s an old old apple orchard, far away. Where, in summer time I used to love to play. For the grass was cool and green And the birdies always seemed Just a bubbling o’er with music all the day. And the blossoms were so beautiful and sweet And the flowers seemed to fairly kiss my feet And the been were always humming Or a yellow hammer drumming And love thrilling in my heart with every beat. 8 i There, with her, in after years I often strolled And the sweetest tale we to each other told For we loved cat'll other true, With a love as pure as gold With a love that never, never will grow cold. —A. D. Burkett. o_ Attorney David E. Smith, of Fort Wayne was a business visitor hero today.
