Williamson, president of the Franklin Highway Association sends word that his interview with the Indiana slate highway commission was more than satisfactory and they are extending splendid cooperation. A new serial story, “The Girl In the Mirror" will start in this paper next Saturday and we invite you all to read it. We arc adding these stories to the paper because we believe that most every reader enjoys a clean, wholesome and interesting serial. How about it, are you interested in a corn and dairy show for this city and county about October Ist? We assure you that many people are and that a little manifestation of interest right now will bring about several days of delightful entertainment. It can lie made a real event. Do you want it? It won't cost you a cent to say yes or no. Each time the president catches a fish, the news is flashed around the world. The stories tell the kind, the size, a thrilling story of the fight to land the gamester. Now lets be fair about this. If the art of angling is to be the measure of merit and a point on which one may build a candidacy for the presidency we have several experts here who we would like to enter in the race. By the way while you are enjoying this delightful weather, its not a bad thing to remember that this is a mighty good time to fill your fuel bins. Coal is obtainable now and at reasonable prices, you know you will need it in two or three month;, save a little and put in your fuel. President Coolidge says he has not interested himself in the coming congressional elections. Evidently be has become convinced that to do so is not exactly helpful. Every senatorial candidate whom he has supported during the past several months was defeated. He must at least be given credit for being able to read the hand writings after it has been written and rewritten a half dozen times. The Delaware county grand jury had cited the sheriff of that county, Harry McAuley to appear in court July 2*th and show cause why he should not be removed from office and if he has permitted one-tenth of the things alleged to have transpired in the tail he should not only be removed but should b e turned over to some sheriff who knows his duties for safe keeping. It ft claimed that Senator James E. Watson and his friends spent more than two hundred thousand dollars to defeat Clarice Adams for the repub lican senatorial nomination in Indiana. Maybe we have something of our own to clean up before we cry to loudly about Pennsylvania and Illinois. Alber* Stump, the democratic nominee spent >I,OOO in a field of six candidates. Which do you believe would servp you best? One of the important problems to be settled in Indiana during the next year or two is whether or not we are to have a state income tax law.

Those supporting It profess to bes lleve that it will reduce general taxes but if it does It will prove unusual. We believe It would be an additional tax. if uot to start with, within a few years, we believe it will keep Indusr - tries from other stales locating here, it its a dangerous thing to turn this power over to the legislature for that F ' body can change it each two years. Vote against it. to be safe. 2 t” The Walther League, composed of 0 young Lutherans in their session in ("J Baltimore this week, went on record 5 against candidates who have secured their nominations by excessive use of money. Referring to the recent Pennsylvania primary, the president, Mr. Grossman, of St. Louis, said: "Such procedure frustrates the fundamental principal of every democratic form of government and paves the way for even more deplorable in- ’ stances of bribery, corruption and dishonesty.” U. U..2XJI-U1 =■ Senator Cummins has returned to his home at Des Moines, lowa, with a pessimistic prediction as to the future of his party. He feels that the administration lias created a split that will spell defeat in the oming election and in that of 1928 and he feels it even stronger than he expressed it in his interview, it has , become a show down between the ( eastern capitalist who profits by a high tariff and the middlewest and western farmer who suffers from it. indications are that finally thousands of voters have their eyes open and can see plainly. * One man brought in the names and , dollars from twelve farmers yester- i day, for the Benjamin Franklin High- ■ way Association of Adams county. If 1 a few men would take that interest 1 we would soon reach the goal. So far 172 have joined the association and there Is room for that many more. The job is an important one and there is absolutely nothing which ( should prevent you joining. Not a , penny is being wasted, nor will be, in fact the men who have taken an interest in this proposed highway have _. I paid all their own expenses. Ihe i money uzjw being raised is to pay for ( marking, maps and publicity aud to continue the road through to the < western coast. o. • Big Features Os * • RADIO * **••*«***•••••• 1 Thursday’s 5 Best Radio Features Copyright, 1926, by United Press Central standard Time Tbrougout , WCBD, Ziou City. 8 p.m — . .-.- ■'e. •.-' I WEAK, Hookup, 6:30 p.m.—Harvesters.
