Merrily we roll along towards election day with the fuss and muss of the republicans in Indiana becoming noisier and dirtier. 1

The state tax in Indiana is five - cents higher yet than it was under • Governor Goodrich, which certainly • prevents much of a campaign on ■ economy. Brin;; a tin cup and spoon and meet us at Liberty Way Tuesday morning in time to hear the entertainment and attend the barbecue. 4 « Mr. Weather Man please be decent and give us blue skies for next Tues J day and you will receive the thanks . of a patient people who have had many disappointments at your hands this year an 1 have not said many , mean things about you. Put*>n your best smile for Dairy Day aid lets all have a good time. The visitors will enjoy themselves the more if we extend the hand of welcome and impress them that we mean it. Let yourself out for a day. "eat. drink and be merry.” 1 Hon Claude C. Ball, an able att tomey of Muncie, is the democratic nominee for congress and will head the county ticket. He is a clean and capable man who will look after your interests in a satisfactory manner if elected and the indications are that he will be. It may be well to call your attention to th- fact that Senator Watson did not vbte on the maternity bill, the farm bill , tax reduction, adjusted compensation, exclusion of immigrisrts, D-nby’s resignation, the Daugherty case, gasoline price bill or the primary probe. Its not so strange that Senator Watson should be opposing the in- , vestlgation of the Adams charges of corruptness in Indiana republican politics for his idea has always been to fool the people and he boasts of being able to make a two hours speech without saying any thing which carries responsibility.

■ ■ I Phillip Kinsley, special writer for the ( hieago Tribune, covering the Indiana situation, points out that the republican leaders are running around in circles and getting no where and that-it looks Hke a tough scrap for Watson and Robinson and when a partisan writer like Kinsley says that you can bet your last nickel, they are scared and have a right to be. The program for next Tuesday will include many things of interest for everyone. There will be band music, choruses, quartettes, an time fiddler. Rube Wilkens as master of stage ceremonies, talks and addresses by men and women of note in the dairy field, a big barbecue with old fashioned Kentucky burgoo made by an expert and best of all there will be a mingling of poopledn a happy reunion. Its to be « cle'n event with no side shows or fake* and we want you to come. Bring along a tin cup and spoon if convenient, but don't let that stop you for a minue. 11, II Dairy Day next Tuesday is being given in cooperation with the CloVerg leaf Creameries, Inc., the program for the afternoon being ia celebration of the format opening of their newly re-

modelled plant. At an expense of n nearly >75.000 this splendid institution has been almost entirely rebuilt and | that without losing a days operation; | and so complete has been the modernising of this dairy that we want you all to visit it Tuesday that you may I realise the sise and the quality of the improvements, the efforts to make this one of the most sanitary and speedy and thoroughly efficient creameries in the entire country. Everett J. Schug, one of the county's splendid young democrats and one of real ability presided at the Berne meeting last evening and did his job to perfection. Mr. Schug is a rifitural speaker, a thinker and a leader who impresses the crowd. The address al Hon. Thurman Gottschalk, candidate for senator, to his neighbors and friends was also effective and interesting. He called attention to his warnings of two years ago and to what has happened and is now occuring in our beloved state and urged support of the entire democratic ticket this year. It was a fine meet-

f ing. ______ r -...........— We wish it would have been possj ible for every man and woman and every school child in Adams county to have heard the masterful address t oflHon. Finnis J. Garrett at Berne last , evening. He reviewed our govern ] I meat since its foundation, told how political parties were organized and why and what they stood for. explain I L ed the efforts of the unfair capitalist ’ to secure control, the difference be- , i tween the republican party of Lincoln [ and Watson and the advantages of a , i change at this time when the smaF clique which controls national affairs i are scheming for a revision qf the tariff upward. He showed that while the American farmers dollar is today worth but gixty-nind cents the labor ■ ing man is working at a twenty-five per cent average decrease while the - cry of good times and don't changt „ goes on through a friendly press. Hit address was most interesting and the , large crowd listened attentively and • frequently. Todays edition of the Daily Demo crat is dedicated to Dairy Bay. sched ' uled to occur in this city Tues day and the splendid support given this effort again evidences the enter prise of our merchants and citisens i and the good will of so many tov ds the proposition. We believe the l/ccas ion will be one not only worth th< , time that has been given it but that i will be of lasting good because of th< s furtherance of good will and cooy ation between farmer and merchant ' Dairy Day Is intended to be just wha the name would imply, an occaslor when we feature this business now become one of the chief industries of the county and it is likewise a day when the Decatur Industrial Assocta 1 tion and the business men and mann > ifacturers of this invite those in f terested in dairying and all* other; s who will join to be their guests, tc 1 enjoy a day of recreation and to lister to the entertainment and the instruc

tive talks. There is nothing but jood will back of Dairy Day, no aies tc grind, no desire to make a profit. We join those whose messages are print od in this issue in extending to every one a hearty welcome for next Tues day. —O ; —“ +“+"+ + + + ♦ + ♦ + ♦*♦♦♦♦ + BIG FEATURES ♦ OF RADIO + + 4,+* + + + + + + + + * + * SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1926 by United Press Central Standard Time WEAF—New York. 492 M, and hookup. 8:15 p. m— Margaret Matzen auer.

GARRETT URGES VOTERS TO CLEAN HOUSE THIS FALL (COXTIXt'ED FROM PAGE ONBD and Adame counties. Mt- Gottschalk old of the activities of political gfaf- ! ers in Indiana and urged that the peonle clean Indiana of graft and corruption. Mr. GottSrhalk closed his address by urging that everyone support the county Democrati" ticket, stating thh he candidates were of fine quality and 'hat every corner of the county was represented on the ticket Discusses Orsgin of Parties Mr. Schug then introduced Representative Ganett. Mr. Garrett, after a few preliminary remarks, delved into the history of political parties and gave a brief sketch of the origin of both parties. "The Republican party has always catered to class legislation for pesuniary purposes," be said, "and the party has always thought that a government of all people could not stand. "While on the other hand, the Democratic party, since its birth, has always preached the gospel of self government with all classes participating.” 1 Mr.'Garrett told of how more money was spent in republican primaries in ’ Pennsylvania and nifnois sos the nomination of Republican candidates for the United States senate than the r Wilson administration spent in one

lear to run the government. . He urged that the citizens of Ind- • tana send Democrat* to the senate and ' hous.'. explaining that this government wa* a government of laws and not of ► personal friends and men. He further | ► explained the Democratic legislation, k put in force during the last Demo- » cratlc administration, and asked the • people to compare that with all .the le- ► gislation if Republicans since th.- • Civil War. In closing. Mr. Garrett again urged for the entire government to be cleaned of corruptloners and grafter*. The applause following the dosing words lasted several minutes, and all pro*- 1 ent were of the opinion that Mr. Gar- ! rett’s talk was one of the best ever heard in the county.

PUREBRED BULLS i ARE NECESSARY Many Good Bulls To Be Carried On Better Bull Special October 25 Careful investigatfbn shows that the dairy cattle of the United States may he roughly divided into three classes, with ahonf one-third of the country's rattle in each class. The poorest class does not pay for its keep, the next grade returns a very small profit, and , the best third carries the other twothirds on its back, so th speak. The < average production of milk per cow in this country is given as 3716 lbs., and ■ the butterfat production as 1860 lbs. per year. Only about one-third of the cows are really profitable. A number of cows in Western Ohio ; show a higher production, but in manv cases the herd average is no highef. The average production for the entire State is only 4000 lbs. of milk and 160 lbs. of butterfat, according to figures just received from Ohio State University. According to cost accounts kept in Medina County from 1920 to 1924. a cow must give at least 6700 lbs. of 3.5 per cent milk, or its equivilent, to pay for the cost of production, allowing 30c an hour for labor, and current prices for feed and milk sold. If dairy cows are to make any real profit thei must, therefore, produce more than this. The herd of John Thornville. Perry County, Ohio, is the result Qf using purebred dairy sires Tor more than a generation. This herd of twelve cows.

DIRIGIBLE BACK | AT LAKEHURST Los Angeles Completes Voyage From Detroit Ahead Os Schedule N. J., Oct. 16—(United Press)—Completing its return voyage from Detroit in record time, the naval dirigible Los Angeles arrived over her hangar at the United States navy air station here at 5:20 a. m., nearly three hours ahead of schedule laid down by her commander, Jacob Rosendahl. At 6:50 am., th* dirigible was landed on the field and preparations made to nose it into the hangar. "Everything went perfectly,” Lieut. Commander Rosendahl said on arrival “The only incident was the breaking of a wire from the main radio set leading to the large generator This break wais outside the bag and we eould not reach it to repair it on the trip out. The result was that our main set was oufl of |-om mission and we had to depend on the smaller set connected to a battery. “Some difficulty was experienced in landing the ship here, as just as the landing wats to be made, the sun came out and its heat expanded the helium gas, making it slow work to overcome this unexpected buoyancy. “We had some sleep on the trip.” Rosendahl said as he left the ship. “But certainly not enough.” - 0 . - Ralph Andrews, of Monroe, was a business visitor here this morning.
