If for 'any reason ' you have been overlooked, see that you register before Monday night. | Unless you dxfbu disfranchise yourself.

Ten years ago the cost of maintaining the state tax board was $15,000 Last year is was $75,000. It is well known that the taxes now are much higher than they were previously and yet it is costing us five times as much. Doesn’t it seem ridiculous that any campaign would have to be made to change administrations under such circumstances? A vote for McCulloch and the democratic state ticket is a vote against the misuse of funds an dthe breach of trust. The comfort station in the auditorium at Berne has been closed, th? town council declining to continue the payment of the twenty dollars per month agreed upon. It's their own business, but it’s sad after ah the bragging Editor Rohrer did in the Witness when we were trying to convince the people of the county that stations should be maintained al the court house. I’erhap s after all 'it would be better to stand for general 1 progress as a principal rather than. selfishly. Another w eek has passed with all I Its turmoil and strife and pleasures and business. Tomorrow Is Sunday, a good day to remember that all of this "fussing” here is but to prepare the spirit for the after-while. A few hours in church service will clear

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With JAY N. DARLING "Ding,” the Cartoonist (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) There is no ding-dong monotony about this man. Donning his hornrimmed specialties, veins extending jover broad expanse of brow, pipe in his left hand, pencil in his right, be'fore him a broad area of white paper on a drawing board, you have a pic 1 ture of "Ding" in action! In a little | while, bing! out comes the cartoon | that hits the target nearly every time j with millions of newspaper readers. The cartoons labelled "Ding" are distintive, and Mr. Jay N. Darling, the Pulitzer prize cartoonist of 1924. is busy chuckling to himself with his pencil and attacking noses as the most defenseless and vulnerable part / of the feature for the cartoonist. "Ding" lives in Des Monies. lowa, out where “the tall corn grows,” and ' signs checks as placidly as he signs a eartoon, which of itself represents , checks of generous proportions. A cartoonist, like everyone else, must be born in order to complete a biography. This event, in the case of ( "Ding.” occurred in Norwood. Michi- t gan. in the same year that the < rack- ( ed Liberty Bell rang ont in Philadelphia in 1876 to celebrate the hundreth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. “Ding” moved out towards the new prairie land and was educated at 11 Yankton. South Dakota, and attended Beloit College as a finishing school and discovered he conld draw pica tnres and draw on father effectively. * Now that he was fully educated, he >' sought a job on a newspaper and start 1 ed in as a cartoonist on the Sioux - v City Journal. His fame reached the ll state capital and he was called to the 1 Des Moines "Register” and is still on c the staff. His genius kept on gxllop- " ing eastward and fr was called to do r work for the New York Tribune and v make the Horace Greeley, statues smile. Now a syndicate of one hun- f dred and one newspapers in the Unit- r ‘ed States share in “Ding"s daily de- f liveries. Even while penning those delicate s lines of the picture, he seemed little « conscious of the fact that the picture I was drawn for a friend in the room. I “Ding” is genial and refuses to let ’ his pen libel life in any of its phases, r "It is the only human race we a have,” he says "Why -not be kind to t lit and why throw vitriol when just a slight tincture of vinegar sharpens t | the appetite for humor!’’ I I Like all ambitious young Ameri- ' (cans, he has made a trip to Europe, 1 ( and when he returned fished out an ’ envelope ’hat had fallen into his • waste b, <1 i .’ith circulars and plum- i hers bills, and found out it was a 1 i notification that he had won the Puli- ’

your head, rest your body, prepare you for the strenuous hours ahead will help your pastor in the greatest work in the community. This is a rapid age and we travel so fast that there is danger of forgetting that this life is but temporary while the next one is for eternity. Are you ready? Ed Jackson is telling a lot of queer I things in his frantic effort to cover lup and win the election. Among others he declares that the state debt today is ONLY $2,500,000. The ONLY shows that he doesn’t pay any attention to trivial matters like a couple of million dollars and it also shows he doesn't know his business or is willfully misleading for the report made last Saturday showed the state debt to be $3,740,000 with $52,588.79 m the general fund. Don't let him put over his fake stuff. He is throwing dust in your eyes with the hope that you will elect him governor. Compare the expanses of his office fast year with that of Lew Ellingham’s and then decide how you will vote. Republican politicians may send out any kind of figures they desire, they certainly cannot convince the , voters that the state has had good government. With the governor | 'absent on some kind nt a vacation ■| that worries those who need him,

( "Ding” is a loyal Hawkeye, and in s sists upon living in lowa, eating corn on the cob and bacon for breakfasi. i | despite the alluring attractions of I New York City where he could carry a cane and wear spats with perfect propriety. r "I wanted to be a doctor, a cheery. a redfaced doctor, with rotund stomach •’ flowing side whiskers and a tall silk hat. but I pointed a camera at an irate ' lawyer and was c hased down th- 1 block.” The picture of that I. L. was 1 the subject of the first cartoon he ’ ever drew for the City Journal and there began a career of a cartoonist. 1 Laying down his pencil and puffing 1 the old pipe he adjusted his necktie " and proceeded: ( “Isn't it great to feel just like a kid? I do not look upon cartooning as an art; it is just being able to see things and put them on paper—but ( you have got to see the right things. It is surprising what you can do win n you stick to it. Draw and keep on drawing—even if there is nothing in the bank. Make six or twelve cartoons a day when your tickle l one is itching. Then you have get to i read the newspapers and remember what is going on from day to day in a sequence! that is. as least as con tinuous as that of the novel you are reading to find out whether the h“ro finally wins the herione.” Soon after he had begun to earn good money as a cartoonist, he sever- [ ed the ulno nerve in his right elbow leaving his right arm useless. He j began at once to practice drawing with his left arm. day after day and months after months, until he was , able to do almost as good work with his left as with his right hand. < It is whispered among his friends that his hobby is fishing, but no one has ever knewn of his catching a fish -j but he keeps right on fishing in Big Creek, where even bullheads were ex ; tinct twenty years ago. Perhaps it is the philosophy of fishing he craves — iust sitting and availing for a bite -j Persistent cuers is "Ding”—one of the world's famous cartoonists.

Oct. 7, at Indianapolis. Announcement has been made to all . members of the state Medical Society by the president. Dr. Samuel E. Earp, who received the invitation from J. W. Carr, executive secretary of the Riley Meniorial Association. Special seats will be reserved for members of the State Medical Society. Open For Inspection On the day of the dedication, the Riley hospital will be open for inspection from 9 a.m. until 9:39 p. in. because of the large crowd that ' is. expected to attend the dedication and formal opening ceremonies and the certainty that everyone will wish | to be shown through the institution, this arrangement has been made to avoid congestion at hours shortly be-1 fore and after the dedication program. A staff of nurses, internes and' medical students has been organized under the supervision of Robert E. Neff, administrator of the Robert W. Long hospital, to act as guides for visitors on the day of the formal opening of the Riley Hospital. Announcement was made Thursday! by J. W. Fesler, general chairman of! the dedication program, that he had received the acceptance of Dr. Walter A. Jessup, president of the University! of lowa, to deliver an address at the dedication. Dr. Jessup was born and | educated in Indiana, having received his first college degree at Earlham. He afterward received the degree of doctor of philosophy at Columbia University. Mr. Fesler said the Riley Hospital was particularly fortunate in securing Dr. Jessup and Dr. John H. Finley, an editor of the New York Times, and one of the foremost educators in America, to be the speakers here on October 7. The University of lowa operates a state hospital for children at lowa City, which is more nearly like the Riley Hospital than any other institution. —o NOTICE, MUSIC STUDENTS!
