YOU MUST DO SO BEFORE 5 O’CLOCK I • MONDAY AFTERNOON IF YOU WISH TO VOTE IF YOU ARE A I FIRST VOTER OR HAVE MOVED DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. Another epidemic of bank hold ups ' and filling station robberies seems to be sweeping through this section. It.' will probably continue until one of these bands makes a niistep or bump* into a crowd of armed guards. Hear Evans Woollen at the court house tonight. He is an able speaker •who does not talk in riddles, who does' not try hide the Issue, who be . lieves in certain economic principles ; of government and will teU you how we can correct the ills. The clouds continue to roll in and • < the rain to fall in torrents, each shower bringing greater loss to the farmers of this section. The weather man holds out hopes that the skies ; will clear by tomorrow and we are hoping he is right. •* e _ ■ The "yellow sheets’’ put out by the state republican committee says the I republicans are for “American sovereignty” and the democrats for the league of nations. What about Coolidge's World Court to which he has just named Charles Evans Hughes a member? Arthur Hamrick, democratic candi ! ■ awai appear at the court house this evening i ith Mr. Woollen, is a regular feller’. | He was reared on a Hendricks countyfarm where he still resides, is a Depauw university graduate, a man of ‘ x business experience and an able democrat. ■With the registration of voters practically concluded the campaign j will be on in earnest. We urge the voters to study the candidates and the platforms of the two parties and to vote wisely. We are willing to I stack the democratic candidates up against their opponents and let yon I put the searchlight on them. They are able and qualified and deserving. Two weeks from next Tuesday will be Dairy Day and the plans for the I event will be completed next week J Arrangements for speakers, bands and features hav e been made and negoti-| ations are on now for experts to take I charge of the barbecue. Reports from . sections indicate a splendid! »ciowd and the event will be a big* 'success. If the expense of Operating Indiana, ha* increased four times during the _ past ten years—and it has—what will be the increase during the next decade and how are you going to meet it ? If jou continue to listen to the unfair and confusing arguments of the republican politicians you will continue in their control, subject to their ideas of centralized and ever cost increasing necessities. These should be no misunderstanding about who has to register. If you are a first voter, if you have never registered heretofore, if you have moved from one precinct, to another, if you have changed you* name, you ' must re-register. la other words your <

Don't throw | away your right of franchise by fail | Ing or refusing qualify t Among our visitors tonight will be I R EarlTetsrs. democratic state chair ’man, a former Adams county man who has made good by his own efforts, J his unceasing energy and his genuine liability. Twenty year* ago Mr. Peters I I . i began his career as a reporter on tins r newspaper and his record since has 1 been a continuous upward climb. We I are proud of his success and wo are I glad for the splendid record he is I making as the leader of the democracy I of this great state. Evans Woollen who is the principal speaker at the opening democratic ' meeting in this city tonight is a level headed, hard thinking, keen business ; man w<h experiences and ability. He | lives on a farm, works in a bank, has beea a student of economic affairs 'for years, is an honest and upright i citizen who desires to serve his peo- ' pie. We want you to hear him for 1 government is becoming serious. You are about to employ the men who will serve you as public officials and you I should be desirous of securing the men who will do that job to your best satisfaction. I All the world's a diamond and all the men and women merely fans now [that the titantic struggle for the worlds baseball championship lias I started. It is ever thus when autumn's tints are on the leaves and work be comes burdensome during the latter I half of the afternoon. To baseball (followers in every part of the United j States the playing of the world series tvpifles ail the superlatives of perfection in the great national pastime, and their interest in the series never Iwanes until the final decision is rendered. It matters not whether the fans I live in the cities whose teams are I clashing for baseballdom’s stellar honI ors or whether they have their habitat I in even the most isolated of villages, [the same keen, enthusiastic interest 'is all-prevading. Baseball truly can I be termed the great American sport, and the number of participants who engage in the playing of Jt at some time or other during the season is j far in excess of tire number indulging in-any other form of athletic diversion. It is a clean, wholesome sport, [ and no better finale could be given to, ! i-.. adMM'a windup than the playing lari* ilMlßD’iix w iiCiOWW ++♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦* ♦ + + + + BIG FEATURES ♦ + OF RADIO * l> + < .+ ++ + + 4.«4' +4- + + SUNDAY'S RADIO FEATURES (Copyright 1926, by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout. | WEAF—Hookup, 3:15 p. m.—Anna Case, Soprano, Albert Spaulding. violinist.

While the gay throng, taking its drinks at the cates under the colonnades. was asking what had happened, ths clear voice broke out in the romance from Boito's Mephostopheles. The word was quickly passed round ’.hat it was Gigli, who in consequence as a promise made to some friends, had decided with the aid of the bass. Zoni and the soprano, Nadia Svilarova to give the public a free concert. The people jit the case tables stood on their chairs to get a better view of the singers, while round the bandstand. the orchestra, nothing loth, extended the evening concert for. full three-quarters of an hour, the crowd pressed close The enthusiasm grew to such a point tor the impromptu -concert held in the marvelous setting of the beautiful square, that in the end a cordon cf police had to make away of escape for Gigli and his .friends through the (sheering, excited crowd. o State Tax Board Faces Many Appeals Indianapolis.
