The weather bureau seems to have overlooked Indian summer or whatever tills is. •* We are told that several girls were real provoked because we mentioned something about the newest craze of no hose instead of nude hose. Its alright with us, go as far as. you like. We were just venturing a surmise. The Huntington Press published an elaborate edition yesterday, dedicated to the handsome new Masonic, Temple which has just been opened in that city. The new lodge home is one of the finest in the country for towns of that size. We are not so much interested in who vs to be nominated Ijy state and national primaries and conventions next year as we are in what they will stand for and'how they propose to correc some of the things that everybody admits has not been right. Well, come on with that fifteen degrees less* temperature. We have had our tongues hanging out for a week past and said nothing but words of praise for the warm rays Sol but of course there is a limit to every thing. Football tomorrow will not be the real brand for the game is one for the cooler days of autumn. A gridiron star must needs have on a big rough sweater, padded clothes and heavy shoes and socks to protect him and such regalia tomorrow will certainly prove burdensome. Our advice to the boys is to take it easy or as easy as they can if the game is played. Andrew Mellon has come out for Hughes for president. Evidently he has found out that Mr. Coolidge meant he did not choose to run when he salid so. Jfughcs was the nominee in 1516 and wa» defeated. He is getting along in years and prefers not to be a candidate, at least thats what he says. If he is drafted, what will the result be? Just to, prove that one, if he hap pens to be the proper one, does not have to fly across the ocean in order to receive high honors in France, the French government will bestow the title of “commander of the Legion of Honor” on Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York City. The honor is one grade higher (han that bestowed on Commander Byrd and two grades over that given Colonel Lindbergh. This ought to make you stop, think and be careful wljfle driving—More than 114,000 people have been killed in highway- automobile accidents and more than a half million people injured during the past five years. What will the next five years bring? Prizes are being ot.'ered by the American Road Building association for the best ideas for reducing road accidents. The contest is open to every one and closes November 15th. Much credit,, if it develops any is due and w<- are guessing n will, for the exposure of political corruption in Indiana belongs to Editor Gurley of the Indianapolis Times, who has kept everlastingly at the job of stirring things up. Os course some will criticise rum and accuse him of doing it to strengthen his own position and

>' the paper he has charge of, but did ft ever occur to you that he could demand and get almost any stun desired to quit agitating the official waters? Chances are he could. A man who lives on one of the roads east of here called to ask why we didn't do something about having ihe state take over a route through Adams county. Os course we told him we ape and have been doing all i we can and we have two or three letters promising that the commission would come here. So far they have not done so and we only know of one way to hurry things along. That is it a number of citizens would write the state highway commission asking them to take action, we believe it would be effective. “Honest government in Indiana" will be the slogan of the democratic party in this state next year, according to the announcement of R. Earl Peters in his opening address at the big banquet held a' the state park at Angola Wednesday night. If there was ever a time or a place when his ought to fit it would seem to be right here in old Hoosierdom and it likewise seems to be just as well settled that the only way to get it is by the election of the entire democratic ticket. Os course these men should be wisely selected because of their integrity and standing and their desire to serve. The record of the pas: several years has been so bad that it would seem there should be but little effort needed. However, this is not the case. Politics is a tough game and only by complete organization and a big contest will a victory be won. This is what the .state committee, headed by Mr. Peters, proposes to start now and they should have the assistance and support of the best citizens of Indiana, regardless of politics and regardless of national problems. We have one of our own. Lets settle 4t right. *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * ***¥*¥¥¥¥* President Kerensky of Russia proclaims the Russian Republic.

I ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * CORN BORER NEWS * i ¥ By * * L. M. Busche, County Agent * ++♦♦♦♦+♦♦++++++ Official information has been re|C<dved to the effeqt that the European (Corn Borer has been found by Gov>l ernnu nt scouts In every township J of Adilins county. This will likely mean I that tho government will ask all far--1 mers of this county to comply with 1 the clean-up regulations. The regaini tlons will ask that all corn stalks ext cept the four inches next the ground , lie dealtoyeil by May 1.192 k. "Destruction" In, thia ease will mean plowing under, shredding, burning, or placing 1 in the silo. Cobs are exempt where mlxe with the fodder. Numeious questions are being asked concerning the use of a cutter head on power buskers. The following quotation taken from a letter written byMr. P. T. Ulman who is in charge of European Corn Borer control in In < diana explains the situation. "Where the cutter head is used, thefqll set of knives must be installed so that the corn is cut into inch lengths or shorter. Corn cut into three inqhes docs not kill the borer, it Is true that a number of the borers in the stalk will be crushed. The shredder head not only crushes the stalks hut also tears the stalk open from end to end in the cutter head type shredder, where half the knives have been left off, you do net get these three inch stalks cut open. It has been the policy of all the corn borer peoplexto insist that the stalks be cut into at least inch lengths where the cutter is used," 0 RURAL CHURCHES Pleasant Mills and Salem F. A.
