Inc., 85 East Wecker Drive Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York "What the farmer needs is to raise less crops and a higher tariff—” Senator Watson. Yep, and a good oldfashlohed rain You can help a lot to make Dairy Day a sutcess by meeting the finance • committee cordially and doing your part—its Tuesday. Dairy Day is a community day and if the finances are raised as they will be. you may feel sure It will be a real event and one which will produce benefits to every one. Over at Warsaw yesterday Albert ' Hodges struck a match and lit bis cigarette at the Polk filling station I The fire which followed caused a $3,000 loss. A little common sense would have averted it. The carburetor on an automobile is the only one part of the matchine but I you wouldn't get far without it, would I you. Well, advertising is likewise only one item in your business, but you won’t shew much speed if you omit it. Next Saturday night—Evan s Woollen at the court house, a sound and safe business man who will convince you that the ills’ of government can be cured by honest and careful representation and the consideration , of the people s needs. Just another week in which to register and several hundred out yet. Get busy workers. Its the first big job of the campaign The next is to convince them the democratic candi-’ dates and issues are right and then » an organization to see that the vote is in and the victory is won. **■ ’**'*■*■ , t that the prediction is that the five weeks rain is to go off with a cold snap does not make the avenage fellow smile any. Keep at it boys, smiie and throw your shoulders back and! your head up. Remember "the win- j ner never quits and the quitter never wins’’ ■ Next for the sports comes the world | series in baseball with the New York Yanks and the St. Louis Cardinals) contending and the opener a week , from today. That will keep you busy about ten days and then it will be I time to get the dope on football We're a nervous lot and we just have | . to have something to bet our nickels ffn. Elections are too far apart. Jack Dempsey is broken hearted over his defeat. At first we thought that* a joke, buj of course it isn’t ” Jack’s share of the receipts at Phila- . delphia was SBOO,OOO and the trouble ■ , is that from now on he can't dictate ’ the terms. He will take what h e can I ' get and will g«t what Tunney and his' manager think he ought to have after the close bargain he drove with them. And now* comes the test which will prove whether or not the community is progressive. The finance committee for D.ilry Day will start their campaign Tuesday morning. If you. favor a big day and a successful event i that will assure a good time for every farmer who visits this city on the 19th of October, do your part financially. Now since Senator J ( m Watson has convinced every bddy that high tariff is a pood thing for the farmer. . J

that bls vote tor Newberry was just (trope r. that the farm should produce les. and that every body ought to I vote for him. we suggest that he tour' I the Held on the subject. "What the | ’. tai mer needs now is more rain. Just about as much argument to that | aß to his others I. ■ IH — l Dairy Amv is a Community Day | I and every farm commodity will be j boosted. There will be hand concerts, a free barbecue, addresses by leaders ?! in the great dairy campaign, prize 5 awards and a g<»<>d time. 1o handle J. the day properly some funds are necessary and the llimuie committee I will call on you Tuesday They have I a difficult and a thankless job. Make lit as easy for them as you can by I being prompt and as generous as you. feel you can. , — ’ I The publisher of the Wabash Plain “Dealer is good and mod because the| I high school principal disregarded the I fact that the dally paper was giving, columns of space to the school sports and had his printing done in a job shop Now the Plain Dealer is not • mentioning school sports and is rid ‘ing” the principal and his policy i Looks like it might be a two edged I sword A newspaper ought to standi I for all good things and the organizaI tlons should of course —and usually I do—give earnest support to the news- ' papers.
