We’ll see you all at the barbecue tomorrow. Tomorrow is Dairy Day and indica - tions are that it will be a real event and that all who attend will have a fine time. The gift distribution tomorrow will be one of the happy Hours of the day and everyone j g invited to register and thus participate. The milk from 21.00# cows are needed to supply the Cloverleaf creamery with butterfat which gives you some idea of the importance of this plant. No sir, those leaves from the* shade ’ trees won't rake themselves up or blow way. It would be most convenient it I hey would, but since they don't'seem so inclined we will perhaps have to be getting busy soon. ‘Deware of campaign lies", says cards sent out from republican headqua.ters and the joke of it is that whatever is being said is coming from members of their own party. No wonder they are panic stricken. N. D. Lawrence, of Lexington, Ken-' tacky, is on the job and is in charge of preparations for D.ijry Day. He has handled many of the largest events of this kind in the country and knows just how. We are sure you will be delighted with that part of the program as well as all the rest of it. > And its not only in Indiana that the republicans are worried. In Washing- »-■ j-. hour of the day in hopes of finding some way to stop the rush from the i G. O. I’. indications are that the next house and senate will be democratic by safe majorities. We hope the Cloverleaf Creamery ' and all other Adams county dairy concerns double their business for it means that much more cash for the j.' farmer and that much more for the .* business concern. Its a good industry to boost. What helps thd other fellow is bound to help you. either dlrect- " ly or Indirectly. * " U We are now receiving our annual grist of anonymous letters. If you have anything to talk over wiQt us, come in and we assure you we will at least be courteous. If you must write, please sign your name so we can reply. Fighting from ambush is hardly what could be called good Bport-dnanship. The republican state committee, -- through Chairman Wall) have sent out an earnest appeal to the workers not to pay any attention to the Adams probe, which by the way is being made entirely by republicans, and to remember that the issue is prosperity. Its a wild cry of a party in distress for the fight is entirely within their own ranks. Wonderful progress has been made by the Cloverleaf Creamery since 1914, when they began business here in a little building on First street. They now occupy 24,000 square feet of floor space, use forty-five trucks, employ 225 people, manufacture several million pounds of butter a year at.d distribute in this bounty alone more than 3300,000 for butterfat. The bigger this institution grows the better for everyone in the community.

T Albert Stump, the brilliant young attorney and orator who is opposing the veteran Senator Watson for his place In the I'itited States senate will be the speaker at a meeting scbedul ed for next Monday afternoon at four o’clock ut the court houae Efforts to secure a night meeting have been futile as Mr. Stump's time is so taken up that he must speak afternoon and night, making three or four speeches a day to, cover the entire state. We hope every voter who is interested in the coming election will arrange to hear Mr. Stump here next Monday.

l) Its a very difficult thing to amend the constitution of Indiana. That's the way It was made and its a good thing for If it could be easily dotie. we would be adding to it every year as we do to our state laws. You will he asked to vote on four amendments at the coming election and It will require a majority of the entire vote cast for secretary of state to carry any of them. You ought to read them over carefully, study them and if convinced any or all of them are right then you ought to start to work to carry those yon believe in. By the same reasoning if you are opposed to any of them, you owe it to yourself to oppose them. Thats your right as an American citizen. We notice the republicans are putting out signs which read, "Beware of campaign lie/” a very good suggestion to the voters, but we don’t just understand why it comes from that source. Certainly the democrats do not need to resort to anything of that kind, this year if ever, for there are so many truths to tell and to talk about that its hardly possible to include them all anjj they are so much more effective with the average voter that to do anything else but state the i truth would be very foolish, so if • this is being done its by the other side , and these signs are designed to fool ( you while its going on. We agree with them, beware of campaign lies. , Clyde Walb, republican state chair- . man is worried as are many of his lieutenants concerning the result ol the coming election for indications | certainly are that the voters of Indi- , ana are making up their minds to i turn from the misrule of the past few 1 years, from the continual fussing and 1 bickering and dickering to the democrats who have named a ticket of clean men. against none of whom can | any thing but good be charged. The i . . . worried for *the revolution will certainly not stop with the coming election. It will go on until the party has purified itself. Watch for some real investigations immediately after election. Thomas Adams and his crowd are having some difficulties just now in getting support from many who are known to be in sympathy with them and the fireworks will be fancy after November 2nd. + BIG FEATURES + OF RADIO + ++++♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —New York. 492 M, and hookup, 8 pm.—“ Arctic program", George Palmer Putnam's arctic cruise. 1 WGN— Chicago. 303 M. 9:30 pm.—*ll Trovatore."
