A cowpie of weeks of good weather will make the corn, beets, potatoes, beans and other crops and assure prosperity for this seition. The < chi strike begins tonight. Where will it end? The cool manner in which it is being instigated, the * care of the operators and the miners to arrange everything just right is an indication that the plot is deep laid and the public will pay 'as they always do. There is serious danger of a tough, hard winter. Some one is tn blame. A number of Decatur business men are planning to attend the Eltohart fair in a body this week. Banners will be placed upon their cars announcing who they are, where they are going and why. Its a fine movement and Manager Williamson will greet them there and assist them in seeing every' thing and having a good time. After the trip they can tell you what the Adams county fair will be like for they are very similar • The recount of the vote for United States Senator in lowa last November shows that Steck was countied out for Brookhart The latter did everything the could to muss up national “ affairs but because he was on the republican ticket they decided to put _» him ower. The recount shows Steck about 15,000 votes ahead of his opr, ponent with the vote about two-thirds recounted. Brookhart may continue as senator through some chance but the voters will know whether their -■ ballots counDed or not. “ And in two weeks comes the Northern Indiana Fair, than which there < will be no better in all the middle west, we are informed. From what » we know of the plies for a program of interest we believie it Every de- “ partment will be excellent and every thing which can be done, to provide convenience and pelasure to you. will be. Manager Williamson is in charge' of the Elkhart Fair this week. He will arrive here next Tuesday and devote all his time from then until the fair is over to making it every kind of a success. “If you must drink, don’t buy from the bootlegger," is the advice from General Lincoln Andrews, who has undertaken the job of trying to make America really dry. He doesn't ex plain just where the tellow who must' is to get it but we presume he expects him to navigate to some country where liquor is pi.-.nissable. He can’t understand -4u._ neither can many folks why hard headed, business and professional men who use good judgment every other Way, will buy liquor sight-o-seen and drink deadly poison that is sure to shorten their lives. He proposes as one means of fighting the traffic to tell the buyers: nt liquor just what they are drinking and what ft will do to them. And that's a wise move for you can argue ft out better than you can drive it out. And now Chautauqua, a mightly fine week for those who enjoy’ music, lectures. readings and those tilings jvhich go to make up a modern

You will have a good time showing the youngsters a good time. And then you will enjoy Governor Morrow. Charles fiewcomh. Henry Burns. Joel Eastman and the others. The big event opens tonight in the tent on the Niblick lot just off Liberty Way and will continue all week.

The com ’.nittees in charge have woiked hard to please you and they deserve your earnest support. This is the big week. , Travellers are now beginning to turn towards their homes in all parts i of the civilized world from all parts of it. This has been the greatest ' travel season ever, with Americans going abroad and foreigners coming here, with still other Americans see--1 mg their own continent pretty thoroughly (and with everybody everywhere jovfully on the go. A good i deal of this travelling, of <ourse. is I done superficially. The tale of the two Americans who divided the labors of viewing Westminster Abbey—one J doing the inside while the other did the outside—so that they could get It over with in half the time is perhaps exaggerated. Yet it is typical of one class of travellers to whom a the travel experience is so new that they have not yet learned how to en joy and profit by all the new wonders I they see. Even these, however, de give some benefit from their adven- . tures. Travel, like other forms of education, always leaves some ini ! press on the mind exposed to it. It retUly is a tine thing for us all that travel is becoming an allyear-round habit. —Goshen News-Times.

WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS

We were against it the first time we hea’-d of it, Sort o ’felt shocked and aggrieved at the word of it. Mother and I —well, you see we adore him. Straight off we said:- "she's not good enough for him!” Thought all our plans for our boy were miscarrying, Did all we could to dfsuade him from marrying. Nothing against her. except on ram bitions— Love never on future conditions — And her people didn't seem just quite the sort of A family for him. which for years we had thought of. Our folks seemed finer than hers by a loffg way, And it hurt us to think he was choosing the wrong way.

Kelsey (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Aug 31.—(United Press) Undaunted by the furious *ftacks of fundamentalist*. Clarence Darrow, noted agnostic, will carry on the fight > for the theory of cvMution and his j crusade against capital punishment. | he declared in an exclusive Interview- • with the United Press today. Darrow has not definitely decided how to push the fight, whether by meeting leading fundamentalists in debate or through the periodicals and independent speech making. Rev. John Roach Straton. fundamentalist preacher of New York, who challenged Darow to public debate, will have a definite answer shortly. Darow said•'I have just returned from my vacation and I haven't had time to think it over,’* he said. Darow is Inclined to accept the challenge. but Mis age—67—may prevent an active tour such as Dr. Straton suggests. "Invitations for speeches are pouting in from all parts of the country. “I’ll probably talk—debate and lecture —at many places.” he said. “I have so many invitations that I can't turn them all down." -— o SUPER AIRPLANES Planes Capable Os Carrying Ton Os Explosives To Paris Or Tokio Invented In p. S., Is Report Chicago. Aug. 31. —(United Press) —A super airplane capable of flying to Paris or Tokio. loaded with a ton of explosives, has been perfected in this country, but its development is being balked by "old fogy ideas” in the army and navy. Colonel William Mitchell. deposed head of the army air service declared in an interview here between trains to San Antonio. ‘I believe that the airplanes that have been built are capable of a flight to Tokio with one stop at Nome. Alaska.” Mitchell declared. 'They will make 113 miles per hour for sixty hours. But we cannot prove it unless the army and navy heads see fit to grant us permission. "Old fogy ideas are holding back the inevitable.” said Colonel Mitchell, whose persistence in making such remarks contributed to his demotion and transfer to San Antonio. 'The air service is just a pair of twin orphans farmed out to the army and navy,” he declared. "There should be, as I have contended always, a separate air service under a separate command. Because the next war will be fought in the air is the reason. Mitchell said the huge biplanes, the development of which the government has balked, were designed by him and constructed under his direction. s o SIX DAYS OF ENTERTAINMENT ARE SCHEDULED (Continued from Page One) er at the tent at fi o’clock in the morning for their hour of entertainment.
