While much of the * farm products are used for feed. « wheat is an article usually scld and . for cash and the crop this year will within the next few weeks bring to the farmers several hundred 'housand dollars, it is estimated. Crops in this section are excellent, t We ar 1? informed that the indications never were better for a good corn crop. Wheat is a half larger than ' usual, oats is very good, hay is three fourths of a crop and sugar beets are ahead of last years crop in every way. That's good and we hope nothing interferes to change the pros- ' ,peets and that every agriculturist makes a profit as a return for his strenous efforts. A on P dollar bill sent to democratic y state headquarters at Indianapolis will help just that much in putting I y over the "Dollar a Democrat" cam- , paign which State Chairman Peters I started recently and which has met the approval of thousands of the vot- ' ers of the state. It doesn i seem like much but if a hundred thousand pee- | pie did it. th- problem of financing ’ , •• ■ not try it? ————— • Lincoln C. Andrews, chief of the federal prohibition enforcement department has gone to Europe to stop as he says the source of supply. Strange things happen these days and he may succeed, though if he got any where with that proposition he would surprise every body, perhaps himself. The problem he has is to discover some method to instill in the people at home, a desire to regard the law and he may not find that in Europe. The record of the recent congress which failed to pass a single bill for the good of The great majority or middle class of people is not surprising when you realize that one per cent of the citizens in the United States own fifty-nine per cent of it. Os course that one per cent has great power and use it and they use it not to your advantage but to Their own. Its a good thing to keep in mind and w-p are not desirous of even remotely aiding any thing but the best government which as Thomas Jefferson said is that which brings the greatest good to the greatest number. John D. Rockefeller who made evehy one else look like a piker in accumulating money until Henry Ford came along in his flivver has just celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday and we remember that twenty years ago he was supposed to be dying from stomach trouble and it was reported that he had offered a poor but healthy working (hail a million dollars to trade with him.

He learned when and how to eat and made his own food reservoir over so completely that he is now hale and hearty and in no danger of climbing the Golden Stairs for some years. By the way he plays eighteen holes of golf about every day in the year. A suggestion has been made that we hold a "Dairy and Corn Day" in this city about October Ist. It can be made a great event if plans are started now and carried out. For many years many towns have held fall festivals, corn shows and similar events with great success and it can be done here to the distinct advantage of every one, if organization is begun now. Perhaps many of us do not realize the importance of dairying and coin raising in this county but the average farmer can tell you and will if you ask him, that the two commodities produced on the farm and which he depends on are corn and milk. For such an event as proposed cooperation can be secured from various sources and the show which could be extended over two or three days if desired, can be one that will interest every one. attract a large crowd and from which great benefits would come. Think it over readers and lets get at it and put over a week thai will rival that Old Home Week of 1912 you still hear talked about. Write us what you think about it and perhaps your thoughts will aid in creating the proper interest. o • Big Features Os * • -RADIO • SATU RDAY's’fI VE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright, 1926. by United Press) Central standard time throughout WEAF—New York. 492 M.

Ind., July 9.—(United Press) —High winds have caused the death cf many new raipherty canes in Indiana according to results of an Investigation conducted by the botany department of Purdue University. Many inquiries were made by berry growers throughout the state and several sample canes were submitted to •he department. These samples appealed at though they had been killed by the cutworm but investigation showed that high winds, bending and twisting the canes had broken the tissues at rhe base, cutting off much of (be food supply. When the leaves of shrubs and trees wither along the margins, it is nearly always caused by excessive lack of moisture, heads of the department stated. Any conditions which tend to evaporate water faster that the roots can supply it, will result in the death of the leaves. — Ot Decatur Youth Leads Blind Couple To Alter Following Elopement Indianapolis, July 3—the blindness [of love and its laughing contempt of
