By the way you may have overlooked filling the fuel bin during the recent warm spell. This is a good time io do it for in a few weeks you will , need it no doubt. Prices are reasonable and you will save money and inconvenience. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, a few years ago the first lady of the land has purchased the famous Putnam Inn at Brooklyn, Connecticut, and »ill conduct a hotel. The news is a surprise to many who knowing of her wealth supposed she would be content to just travel and enjoy life. She seems to have the Roosevelt desire . , to keep busy. Just what part Senators Watson and Robinson took in the recenj effort to prevent the conviction of Rev. Schumaker has not been determined but from their letters it is easy to • read that they were willing to take any political advantage possible. That may be natural but its just whats . ■ ill . :;■■■-■ Too miu if depends on what effect certain action will have on certain voting classes. Get your radio tuned up for the three million dollar fight which will occur Thursday night of this week in Chicago. Let the others pay forty , dollars for seats from which they can see nothing. You will be more com- ■ sortable at home, get the news sooner than most of those at the park that night and can comfort yourself by the thought you were not one of he “suckers" who put up the unheard of gate. Probing the Monroeville crossing accident in which four people met death Friday evening is of course alright and if any carelessness is shown criminal and civil actions should follow, but this does not restore the lives. It remains true that the greatest care is necessary all the time by every driver of an automobile. We still believe that many of the accidents would be avoided if we would all reduce speed. Why do we hurry so? Bill Eddings, alias Bert Parker, 52, and old enough to know better, plead guilty in the Wells county court Saturday afternoon to having assisted in burglarizing the Poneto bank and was promptly given a fifteen .year sentence in prison. Eddings also confessed to having taken part in a number of bank robberies. The detectives and police who ran this gang down and the court which so speedily dealt with this man. deserve praised

I Thats the best way we know of to ' stop the crihte wave. “Honest, government” is the demoI era tic slogan tor 1928 and It is more than a political Issue or should be. Thousands of Hoosiers who have ■ traveled away from the state know that <ho reputation we now have Is :iny thing but favorable and regardless of political preference, will vote 'next year to redeem the state. If i the democrat, will nominate a ticket ! composed of high class men, they I should carry .the slate overwhelmingly. We walked through the tent at the Elk's carnival Saturday evening and we stood for some minutes watching one booth in the center of the tent. Behind the counter stood two men and two women and they were attracting much attention because of the noise they were making. On either side of them the booths did not appear near so busy. The answer is easy. Those in the one booth were advertising, were telling the people of their wares and their bargains and they did business. Its so in every day marts of trade. You must “toot your horns" if you would attract the public. They like it and you profit. William G. McAdoo will not be a candidate for the democratic nomination for president next year. He realizes the fact that if he is, the 1 party will again be split in convention and afterward. He has many good qualities but he likewise has many enemies politically and his action should go a long ways towards clarifying matters. He can do much to aid his party if he is a real democrat and wants to win next year. We hope he does and we hope others likewise do what they believe best for the party of Jefferson for the country needs a strong and a winning democratic party. o * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* Monday's Five Best Radio Features WTAF,-> hookup, 8:00 — Mascagni's Opera, “L'Amico Fritz.” WJZ, hookup, 5:30 —Opening of Radio * World’s Fair, with Roxy and • his Gang, and official addresses.

LEEION MEET IN PARIS IS OPENED President Doumergue 01 France Officially Opens Convention By A. L. Bradford (U. P Staff Correspondent) American Legion Convention Hall, Ttocadero, Paris, Sept- 19—1 UP) ' The ninth annual convention of th. ' American Legion was opened officially ; al 9:30 A. M. today by President Don metgue of France, honorary chairman. I The convention marked officially the greatest peacetime invasion of a friendly nation by Its neighbors of I wartime. The Legion, termed by General John J. Pershing “the soul of the A. E. 1. was welcome back to the land of its birth. Wild scenes of enthusiasm greeted Marshal *Foch, President Douinergue and Pershing. The delegates seemed somewhat overdrawn by the*presence of the | many notables and the opening of the convention was not marked by the ! customary byplay of previous legion conventions. Colonel Daugherty of Nogales, Arizona, dressed in buckskin anil a yellow neckerchief, who usually i stages buck-and-wing stunts on the slightest provocation actually seemed I ill at ease. ( And the delegates from Little Falls, | M-inn., took off the Lumber Jack coaton the backs of which were sewed in big letters, “Little Falls, Lindbergh’s home town." Scarcely had the meeting been under way when shouts of “Vice SaccoI Vanzette were roared from the gallery. Police rushed to the doors, closed I them, and sought the offender. They I found him to be a five-foot communist ' who had stolen a legion badge on

which he hud gained entrance. He was arrested Hod removed from the hall.” I Thirty thousand Legionnaires and , their friends filled the vast.audMorlum j Which with its forest of signa markI |ng state delegations resembled a [' national political convention In the j United States.
