FOUR BIG TEN ~ TEAMS UNBEATEN Quartet Still In Running For Title; Michigan And lowa Look Strong By Edward C. Derr • <V P Staff Correspondent> Chicago, Oct. 26.—(United Press)— Four teams with undefeated slates in the Big Ten scramble remained in the running for the conference title today. Only two of them face Big Ten opponents this week and it is probable | that the same four teams —Michigan. lowa. Chicago anil Minnesota — will] lead the pack again next Monday. Minnesota has a questionable right to its place in the select quartet, having its slate clean because it has nut yet met a conference rival. The Gophers lost to Notre Dante Saturday and open their championship season next Saturday against Wisconsin. Michigan Is Powerful Michigan tops the list with three I conference victories, Indiana, Wiscon sin and Illinois being the Wolverine victims. Coach Yost has a powerful machine and stands a good chance to I finish the championship season with-j out a defeat. The Wolverines face a ! * tough foe in the navy this week end. | but the result will have no bearing on j the title. lowa, known to have a strong team.' did even better than expected by win-1 ning front Ohio State. 15 to 0. The | Hawkeyes now have two victories and j no defeats. They take on Wabash in j a non-conference game this week-end. I Chicago Goal Line Crossed Chicago had its goal line crossed I for the first time this season when/ Penn scored a touchdown and beat j the Maroons. 7 to 0, but this game had ' no effect on Chicago’s conference P standing. Coach Stagg s team has a 1 victory and a tie to its credit ami faces ! Purdue this week-end. Unless the expected happens. Chicago's slate should be st II clean after the Purdue game. Wisconsin, already put out of the tunning by Michigan, set the skids i under another Big Ten eleven by de- 1 feating Purdue, 7 to 0. Many fans - were disappointed in the Badger show- i ing in this game, expecting them t.» pile up a bigger score. The Boilermakers apparently have improved j their defense since the opening game of the season. Illinois Springs Surprise Illinois showed surprising strength! in holding Michigan to a field goal vic-1 torv The Illni line was strengthened on the defense but it is still tin- ' able to open holes for Red Grange i to make any of his famous off tackle drives. Northwestern demonstrated howmuch "Moon" Raker is being missed I from the lineup. The Purple wildcats uccunibed to Tulane’s great offense. ;S to-7, but thsy sht>7.-'d a-brilliant ■ >ng attack that may cause some , ble to future opponents. Indiana found little difficulty in winning from Miami, 25 to 9. but faces a Big Ten rival in Northwestern this week-end. Nick Kutsch. lowa’s tearing halfback ( failed to score against Ohio State, but he still leads the Big Ten for individual points with 49. BennyFriedman of Michigan is in second place with 38 points, increasing his total by his field goal against Illinois. t Every Cold is DangerousBegin Taking Father John’s Medicine Now NO DANGEROUS DRUGS | OVER 70 YEARS OF SUCCESS

A County Without A Fair Is A County Without A Future Farming Is Chief Industry Os Adams County As 60 Per Cent. Os Bank Clearings Is Represented by Agricultural Money; Buying Slock In Great Northern Indiana Fair Is Civic Investment For Good Os All.

| By E. B. Williamson I A certain Decatur business man I said very truly yesterday that "A I county without a fair is a county without a future.” Regardless of all its other industries Adams county stands or falls as a result of its farms. Farming is our 'chief industry and that being true it is good sound business judgment to invest in farm development. Adams ebunty has a land valuation of over twenty-nine million dollars. There are 2.328 farms. 96 per cent., of the aiea of the county is included in farms and of the farm land 87.8 per cent, is improved. The average size of tiefarms is about 9(1 acres. With an aggregate bank deposit in Decatur of ‘over (wo and one-half million dollars, a conservative estimate placed by one of the local linkers is that about 6u per cent, of this is represented by the agricultural money. I Buyiug stock in the Greater Northern Indiana Fair is not a favor, it is a civic investment for the good of all. Anything which benefits the f irmer of ’ the county benefits Decatur as a trade center. To be the maximum benefit which it can be, the fair however must be properly linancied. Like all successful business organizations it thust have a working surplus. As i conditions have existed in the past it has been necessary for one man to cairy the load. No one man fair can ,be a success, neither by a certain | few, but it inusf be run by the peie pie and for the people. As concerns the farmer, an educaiioual fail is just as essential as a school. Farming thinking 1 and there is no success in farming without thinking. The modern county
