J There is much talk these days of pn Old Home Week celebration for iiext year and we hope it results in some action rather than just talk.' We have had that regularly each year now since 1912 but it always stops l there. Os course its a big job to 1 Jackie but if it can be done right its Js’orth all the effort. , The fall rains are here and most folks are hoping jhey will be of sho-t duration for they interfere with harvesting the beet crop and taking care of the corn. The weather bureau predicts fair weather for tomorrow| and it is believed the next two or three weeks will give the farmers an opportunity to complete their years 1 work in a satisfactory manner. No difference how important a special session of the legislature, even though it may be shown that it is badly neded, not much chance. Tito governor and all others about the state house have sufficient troubles these days and certainly a session of the assembly would bring more and gobs of it. They haven't any time for this now. Attorney General Gilliom and Fred Rohrer both claim to be dry but they differ as to just what that means. Both say they favor modification of t the Wright law so as to permit whis-1 key to be given medicinally but they | <lo not agree as to the proceedure for bringing about that change. Rather, mystifying to many people, who wonder just what they are trying to do. | Hallow'een can be made a fine occasion for every one with the prop- • er interest manifested. A big parade* will be held, starting early and the celebration will bring many laughs. The local merchants have agreed, we are informed, to keep their places of business open on this occasion and many will offer special bargains. Its the finest trading season of the year, so why not mix a little pleasure and business’ A hundred farmers from the northern part of Indiana are on a trip to 1 Canada this week to view the ravages of the corn borer and to learn from the farmers of the Windsor territory ■■ what may be cxepected after five or six years experience with the pest which is said to have laid waste thousands of acres of excellent corn land. Their report will be of great interest and their advice after this investigation should go a long ways with those in this section who depend' largely on this crop. Four hundred and thirty-five years ago today. Christopher Columbus discovered America. If the noted discoverer could return here now he would find many improvements and be somewhat surprised we doubt not. The lands which then were thickly wooded are now covered with cities beautiful, with parks and farm lands and colleges and churches, surpassing beyond dreams any thing which existed in his time. It was a great day for the world when this western continent was found for it became the mecca for untold millions of people to live and prosper. Miss Ruth Elder and Capt. Georg? Haldeman art today over the broad expanses of the Atlantic ocean, at-

1 tempting a flight to Europe. They 1 sailed away from Roosevelt field, ■ New York, last evening on their I perilous trip. Miss Elder, a beauti- * ful young woman and a plucky ' avlatrix is the first American woman to attempt the flight and foolish as ; it seems refused to listen to all ap- * peals to deter her. Everybody of I course is hoping for the success of these flyers but will await with nils- > givings their success after the dis- • aitrous ending of the last several at- ' tempts. »' 11 • The bureau <ff entomology at WashJ ington broadcasts the prediction that American agriculture faces more troubles in 1928 from insects than ever before. They have discovered more than five thousand varieties of insects but there are four major destructive ones — the Japanese beetle, cotton boll weevil, gipsy moth and , European corn borer. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually ,' to fight this foe to man but they 1 seem to make gains and there is but one thing to do and that is to fight harder. The labor of a million men .are lost each year inrough the rav- ( ages of insects. Despite sensational reports to the contrary, dependable statistics show juvenile delinquency is on the de(cline, even in the large centers of population. Nine cities have fewer juvenile criminals today than they had ten years ago and only four report an increase in that period. The | reports to the contrary no doubt have issued forth from the imaginations of those who have met rebuffs in their I presumptuous efforts to inflict upon I modern youth what they think is • good for them. While juvenile delinquency is declining, it is a fact that maladjusted childhood remains one of the chief recruiting grounds for crime. In the last two years 16 per cent, of those arraigned in the courts of New York city were between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five years. Os the inmates at Sing Sing, 46 per , cent, are under twenty-five years of i age. Among the causes contributing ' to the lower delinquency rate probably are to be reckoned prosperity and restricted immigration. Improved conditions in the home, as reflectl ed in higher wages and fewer workj ing hours for the head of the house, ' operate against juvenile misdemeanor. And it has been observed that ' the immigrant population has been the source of most juvenile delinquency.—New Castle Courier. o *.¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥ * ,* BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * * ************ WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR—HoHokup 8 pm.

The Opinion of New York’s Greatest Magistrate on Rev. Leonard W. A. Luckey’s Book, “Whence Comest Thou? Whither Goest Thou?” CITY OF NEW YORK City Magistrates l Courts 300 Mulberry Street J | ' April 12, 1927 t' ■ Yl ' ■ < Beverend and Dear Sir I Apologizing for delay, I write to thank you for sending me a copy of your excellent book which I am reading with great interest and instreetien* 1 have been dreadfully busy of late or I would have written you sooner and when 1 finish the book | will again write you. I presume you were kind enough to send me the book because of some statements of mine that have recently been published in connection with the religious instruction of children. That statement for the press was necessarily made in great haste and after looking it over 1 find that I am represented as saying that Whither and Whence are unsolved problems. 1 meant to qualify that by saying that the problem was unsolved by science. Believe me with thanks and cordial good wishes, Very sincerely yours, Chief City Magistrate. , Hev. Leonard 1. A. Luckey, Hi. D. Stratford Company, Publishers, Boston, Mass. CITY <J» MEW YORK City Magistrates l Courts 300 Mulberry street WILU*M McADOO j CHIEF CITY MABUVRAVg August 4th, 1927. ’ My dear Dr. Dickey: I think you have presented your conclusions very ably and effectively ,avoiding on th» one hand a denial of the fair and proven claims ) to which science is entitled,and on the other har presenting a clear exposition cf the limitations of scientific knowledge of thr mysteries of life and death. The youth,especially in our colleges and technological Ftut as, are too apt to conclude, scientific discoveries of natural laws ‘ seen so marvelous, that science (so called) has solved “the riddle at t . the universe* and so reject the revelation in which you and I believe. , The book so moderate in tone, so judicial in expression, do tolerate of opposition, should have a large circulation in those days, , when so many pitiable, hopeless, Godless people abound,believing that the world is a pitiless, heartless and cruel mechanism. 1 “I thank thee,o Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou •, hast hid theae things from the wise (in their own conceit) and prudent (taking a narrow and selfish view of life) and hast revealed them unto 1 babes, even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.” j Believe me with great esteem and cordial good wishes. c Chief City Magistrate.

It Pays QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If vou have a “dark brown mouth”— bad brqath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c.
