A line football day, that is so far as the weather and the winning teams '. are concerned. Os course for the • losers tin- weather never seems just right. Be a winner. Ohio is happy because of their own troubles, and they have been varied . and numerous, are being overlooked because of the Indiana scandals. Fine " for them, but what about us? « They make quite a fuss because Clemenceau ate ham and pickles on his eighty-sixth birthday. Its a wonder some hustling cigarette company uidn’t snap him lighting the first of his fifth box for the day. Less than half the 170,000 miles of federal road proposed for construction this year hav-e been completed, proving that even the government finds it more of a problem than they contemplate when the program is made. Mr. Gilliom should enumerate just what laws he doesn't like so that everyone can have the same opportunity he has to violate those he won’t enforce. Can we do this and still maintain our constitution and , our court system? The "wise cracker” for the Washington Star very aptly states it when he says the political high fliers are showing discretion about "hopping off without knowing what the 1928 weather will be. Early indications are that the winds will be high and the fog dense. The war cloud is again hovering over five or six nations, including Mexico. Peace negotiations go on steadily but without great success apparently. And they say the next war will be more terrible than any ever engaged in. Ten thousand people at Springfield, Minnesota, devoured twenty tons of sour kraut along with a stack of ‘ sandwiches, weinies, doughnuts, coffee and other foods in the annual kraut festival yesterday. Sounds like a lot of it but after our experience here on dairy day a year ago we are convinced that the story is true. Any way its different. It doesn't look as though the members of the Yanks and Pirate baseball teams would have bother with a return trip to Pittsburgh. According to the schedule as arranged the first two games were played in the smoky city, the next three in New York and the final two in Pittsburgh, but as only four wins are necessary to decide the contest, its about over. We have several reports from over town that gangs of boys evidently engaged in a pre-hallow’een observation have been removing parts from automobiles, taking the caps from the air valves and otherwise doing damage to pioperty. They perhaps do not realize that they are engaging in a misdemeanor which might land them in the reform school and parents should warn them. Noah Habegger and Ardon Mosser will be delegates to the round-up at Purdue, having won the honor by winning in the calf clubs. Many others received cash prizes tor their efforts and the club was a great success, interesting many boys and girls.

| Expenses of the contest were paid by p the Cloverleaf Creameries, always awake anti alive to those things which increase interest in dairy work. Electricity is now scheduled to bring professional baseball at night, t It has already fooled the hens and caused them to lay eggs overtime, * raised plants where formerly only darkness prevailed, has furnished „ food for trout farms by causing bugs U to fly low to the water, freezes ice, 8 curls milady's hair and does so many O other unheard-of things, that lighting 5 a baseball diamond at night will seem [J tame in comparison. We certainly do crowd our fiftytwo weeks with "national" weeks to such an extent ihat it seems almost impossible. We now have according to official figures a hundred and thirty-five specials including for this month fire prevention week, apple s week, pharmacy week, fcirl scout s week, natioual picture week and » management week. They are all alt right but seems as though we do overdo until we overlap. , A. A. Anderson, secretary of the 1 Pacific Coast Building-Loan Assoeiaj tion, in an address at the Pacific 3 States savings and loan conference, recommends newspaper advertising as the most effective and economical ■ means of reaching the public. Further, i he urged that the building-loan assoi ciations throughout the United States - should have a fund of at least $1,000.- ■ 000 for such a campaign. As Mr. Anderson knows, It has been fully demonstrated that the newspaper t stands by Itself as a carrier of mess- - ages ro the greatest possible number , of people. It is the only medium that is sure to reach the citizens of a community and be read. This fact is i being more fully appreciated every | day. The smaller city dailies and country weeklies are the great medium ; for reaching the masses of the people who represent the majority of the reading and buying power of this ‘ nation.

Fine, (UP Staff Correspondent) Mexico City.— (UP) — The barred doors of the Cathedral of Mexico is I the only sign Ihat the Catholic church Is no: functioning in Mexico. The I churches, with the exception of the j Cathedral, are open everywhere and at any hour dozens may be found kneeling in prayer. The blessed sacrament is no longer kept in the churches because there are no priests but this does not prevent large numbers from continuing , their devotions in the same spot where for years they knelt at daily or Sunday mass. Most of those who come to pray in the priestless house of worship are of the peon class in whom the religious instinct dies hard. Except for the absence of flowers and white altar cloths the churches look much the same. Candles burn before the images of the Virgin, the Sacred Heart and the saints. Before the church doors the beggars sit cross-legged in their accustomed places. On them seems to rest chiefly whatever burden of sorrow the change in the churches has brought. Their heads are bowed, their eyes focussed on the ground. One can imagine them raising their heads only to the now unfamiliar sound of bells in the towers above them or to the echoes of hurrying footsteps of those on their way to mass. It is these sad bundles of rags and dirt which more than anything else seem to remind one that to millions, though the doors are open, "there is no one home."
