Remember, Tuesday, October 19th, is to be Dairy Day in Decatur and that a hearty welcome is to be extended to thousands of visitors. The United States exported 72 mil lion bushels of wheat less in 1920 than in 1915. which explains one of the reasons why the farmers have been hard hit. / Senator Watson and Senator Robinson did not expect to have to make a campaign this fall but we notice they are starting a strenous one and that their wives are heading delegations to campaign in various parts of the state. Os course even a United States senator has the right to change his mind —and some do. October 19th is to be Dairy Day in Decatur and a program that will please and delight the thousands of visitors from far and near is now beir arranged. We are sure you will , li it and will realize the many benefits from such an event and we hope every one enters into the work with an enthusiasm that will help to make the day the biggest and best ever held here. Clem J. Steigmeyer, former Adams county man who received his early newspaper training on the staff of the Duitv Demoiial i,as be*-h riamed' advertising manager for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, a very responsible and worth-while position. Mr. Steigmeyer . tising manager ami director of cxteik- • sien srrt for the First National bank of Fort Wayne. H e is a capable, high class, thorough gentleman and a newspaper man of extraordinary ability, of whom we are proud. We congratulate Mr. Steigmeyer and the NewsSentinel. Since Ed Jackson became governor of Indiana he has spent thirty million dollars more than the total expended in eight years under the Marshall and Ralston administration. Os course some of this was spent on highways but get this —the amount spent by Governor Jackson, exclusive of highways, in two years is $639,926.89 more than was spent for every purpose in eight years by Marshall and Ralston. They may talk business administration until blue In the face, they may talk about the reductions that are to come all they want, but to the sensible. conservative, careful voter, they •will certainly hav e heaps of trouble, offering any thing convincing as against these figures. Every citizen, man and woman over twenty-one, should be registered. Are you? It is claimed that more than eleven hundred eligible voters in this county were not registered the first of this month. If you have never qualified, if you have moved, if you are a first voter, if you have changed your name by marriage or divorce, you cannot vote unless your name is recorded on the records officially and you must, do this before October 4th. Please don't put it off. Find out whether or not you must register it

there is any doubt in yotir mind and * then see that the duty Is performed You owe It to yourself, your community. your state and your govern ment. r. •— ] 1 ~ r Maine went republican by 20,000, according to uews dispatches, a very r, low margin for that rock-ribbed state. In the old days before the women voted, the state vis normally repub'J lican by 30.000 and during recent O years the figures have been much 5 larger than that. Two years ago 0 5 Brewster, who was re-elected Monday, ® had a majority of nearly 37,000. If this week's election was an "overwhelming victory” as the republican press announces, jhey are easily satisfied. The truth is that the result is a continued trend against the admin istration and a forerunner of a general democratic victory in November. ’ Sunday afternoon a storm started ’ The highways were crowded with automobiles going all directions. One man suddenly decided that he should “ put on his side curtains. Single track - minds can handle only one thought at , a time, so it probably never entered his head that there might be other people on the road. He stopped. The car behind him slithered along the slick pavement and missed hitting him by about one coat of paint. The next car was not so fortunate and was forced to veer to the other side of the road. There was a sickening collision between it and a car coming from the opposite direction Three women were hurt, one seriously. Several might have been killed. There is your highway menace. He is not the fast driver, necessarily, but the fellow with the sluggish think tank. His type go clattering along with a dumb expression and a vacant stare, thinking the road was built for them alone. They curse you if you make them budge from the middle of the highway, and they stare at you with a sort of adenoidal vacuity if you get stalled behind their road-hogging ma chines. They are the kind who think •the engineer will see their lights and stop before crossing the road. They blunder through places where angels *ear to go.

Baldwin Stirs Conunent By Wearing Straw Hat London (United Press)—Straw hats - are almost obsolete in England, but they have just received a la t minute revival through the appearance on the streets of IJrime Minister Baldwin topped with a •boater”, as the straws are called in England. The Premier's political audacity in sponsoring a form out of the book of styles has caused much comment. While straw hats are in disfavor, however, the “topper” is enjoying a boom. Not since the beginning of the war have so many shiny tall hats and collapsible opera-hats been seen in Ixtndon. The manufacturers are busy, not only meeting the demand of the male dressers but also satisfying a new fashion in women's millinery, which suggests that a crown of the same mat erial of which ‘‘toppers” are made will supercede the interminable felts this winted. o COSMOPOLITAN STAR SCORES IN AN ENTIRELY NEW KIND OF A ROLE If one were to tell in detail the plot of “Zander the Great” which opens at the Adams Theatre Thursday and Friday, Sept. 16th and 17th. half the enjoyment of the audience would be spoiled, for the situations, incidents, and climaxes, as wed as the comedy and drama packed into this human interest screen offer ng have the flavor and surprise qualities of an O. Henry story. "Zander the Great” "Zander the Great' starring Marion Davies, a Cosmopolitan Production released by Metro-Goldwyn. proved a complete surprise to those who have gorwn accustomed to viewing Miss Davies in the elaborate period costumes of "Little Old New York" “Yolanda" and “Janice Meredith" In this picture Miss Davies evolves from a little orphan girl in an asylum to a young wortum OT JTfUlig ci".t:aCCeT,' great beauty and charm of manner, but it is not on this slender thread that the picture is based.

Richard Carle, and Harry Watson, Jr., while the more serious and dignified incidents are enacted by Hat risen Ford and Hobart Bosworth. Prince Os Wales Is Keeping A Diary London (United Press)—lt has been learned that the pr’nce of Wales is faithfully keeping a diary. Each night he writes into his book, in his careful rounded calligraphy whtlt he has dene and thought during the day. Like most diaries, the Prince’s re-cord-book is highly confidential, but some day it may become a document 1 worth a fabulous price. The Prince judging by his public letters, has a keen wit and an observant eye. and it is confidently stated 'hat what he puts ’ into his diary every night would be well worth reading it it became pub- ’ lie. o ’ Full Program For Women s At State Bankers’ Meet .

That very shady dollar made Will cost you ten in future trade. Joe tricked a few ns smart men do, And chuckled ns they will, Hut came the day to Joe’s dismay When empty was his till. He watched his trade to others go. The buyers had outsmarted Joe. lk»y, when you meet a chance to cheat Refuse that way to gain! The trickster's art is never smart, i It always ends in pain. The cunning merchants always fail The cleverest crooks are ail in jail.

i Wales Talks American In Address At Oxford London (United Pre,si—That the Prince of Wales' English has, occasionally an American touch was the interesting observation made by his audience at Oxford—perhaps the most critical and cultivated audience in Great Britain. For example the Prince chose the American pronunciation of "Capitalist" instead of the prevailing English pronouncation of “capitalist." He wobbled a little on another word, first calling It a la United States, “LAB otatory" and the i flopping over, later, to the English form < f "laßOßatory " His Royal Highness likes the “t" in “often and says "dle-rection" and “aecostics" - purely persona! choices these.
