Made Known by Application Foreign Representative Carpentier ft Company, 122 Michigan Avenue Chicago The local fire department, the Industrial Association, the schools and the Boy Scouts are urged to work together during Fire Prevention Week. October 4th to 10th. Bobbed hair has killed the hair pin industry, further proof of what can be done if the ladies put their heads together. ♦ City campaigns will open during the next couple of weeks and the month of October will provide local scraps in about every city in the state. So far as we are concerned and the most of the people we guess, we don’t care a snap whether those publicity hunters succeed in swimming the English channel or not. We know a lot of things more worth while for those who have the endurance than that foolish act. Jimmy Walker, with the support of Governor Smith and the regulars of . /I’ainany ran away from Mayor Hylan who had the support of Hearst and his newspapers. The republicans named Frank Waterman of fountain pen publicity. Put your money on Walker for the finals. The sun is having a hard old time squeezing through between the clouds I this week but we’re still hoping he j makes it. The rains were fine but nobody wanted it to just start and pour down the rest of the month. If. we can have good weather the rest of the week thousands will enjoy a splendid fair at Bellmont Park. , ..'.Liator "ta.i.Liific.d, of w'.cgon, dr> in Washington and a deacon at home, got away the other day, steamed up. broke up a party in a restaurant, made a perfect ass of himself and was arrested- Now he declares it a ‘frame-up” because he is a candidate for re-election. That’s a matter for his own home folks to decide after he tells his story to the judge. Walter Meyers opened his cam paign for mayor of Indianapolis the other evening and in a straight-from-the-shotiltler speech told the citizens of the capitol how they can improve conditiens, lower taxes and build a better city. He is a capable and high-grade young man who would bring great credit to his position it elected. Fob Lafollcttc, Jr, will very probably succeed his famous father as senator from Wisconsin. No doubt his name helped a lot but likewise it is said he has much ability and there aro some who predict he will soon be a loading figure in American politics. He wan nominated by the Wisconsin republicans yesterday by about 100,000 plurality. The election will be held the 29th of this month. »■' i ■ i Arrangements have been made so the contractor can get over the streets with his trucks, complete bis job on road twenty-one and not injure any of the streets. The street com fnittee and Mr. Harris will work together so that tho interests of every one will be looked after. The load has been reduced and a limit of ten miles an hour fixed for the trucks which will use the crown of the ctreetg obey all signals. W'.tl? good weather the stone will be on

The dedication will be made an event, to which will be invited a number of the authors and writers of the country. School children will be asked to contribute small stints with which to meet the expenses and a tablet suitably engraved will tell the story of the wonderful work of an Adams county authoress and nature student.
