Buy tickets for the Evening Star Festival. Four big nights. Starts next Tuesday. Celebrate Hallow'een but do It in the sane and sensible way. Join the big parade. A Chinese couple in Chicago were so proud of their new son who arrived the day Lindbergh landed in Paris that they decided to honor both by naming the lad One Long Hop. Os course its foolish but we jest' can’t help being old fashioned enough to believe that we are better for hanging on to Santa Clause, Hallow'een and other legends and customs of the old days. It may be difficult to figure out just who is mayor of Indianapolis, but there is one tiling which seems certain —none of those who are claiming the office seem satisfactory. The city needs a new deal. A few cans of fruit will be apprecreiated by the committee in charge of the annual drive for the Adams County Memorial hospital. Boost this splendid cause and help fill the fruit closet at the hospital. Donate a can or two of fruit or some vegetables for the Hospital. Th?y| need home canned fruit and home grown vegetables. The Adams County Memorial hospital is one of the best in the middle west ;yjd deserves all the support we can give. The North Dakota legislature has enacted a law making it compulsory that a copy of the Ten Commandments be placed in every school room in the state. The only trouble is that ten rules are not sufficient for the average school room. Compilers of a Statistical Account of Scotland, published in 1791, declared that ‘the use of tobacco may almost be said to be excessive, especially among the female sex. There is scarcely a young woman by the time she is taught to spin but what has also learned to smoke a pipe.' This habit they attributed to the idba that smoking was an antidote to rheumatism and ague. The corn borer is not a myth. Those from here who visited the territories north of where the pest has been at work for five or six years saw what it will do. They also saw what can he done when the proper fight is put up against it. Surely we will not permit this worm to destroy or even lessen the value of our splendid corn lands. One of the old time Hallow'een customs was for a maiden to eat an apple before a mirror, brushing her hair the while. Just think girls, your future husband is expected to look over your shoulder while this operation is on and of course you will see him jf you keep your eyes on the rirror. Wonder how many girls have tried it. , There may have been Octobers like this one has been. There must have been because so many poems and verses have been written about it, but wo are sure they have not been during our existence. If you nan find a place that has a year round climate like we have had the past few weeks

|it will be about as near Heaven as f most of us want to reach on this earth. An Old Home Week next fall will r attract thousands of people from far t. and near, will bring home many of ‘‘ the folks who have been asbent for r, years, will increase business, will provide a good time, will show the people of this community that we 3 want them to be well entertained ® occasionally at our expeiue, will make 5 a kindlier feeling amongst every one ® and can easily be put on. Why don’t 5 It * I) 1 e-—■ It seems to us that every number of the four night festival at the high school auditorium beginning next Tuesday evening is of enough interest to make you want to attend. Buy a ticket at once for the season and don't miss a single number. The pro- • gram includes a famous negro jubilee r bunch, a distinguished Arctic explori er with a thrilling story of his exploits. an inspirational orator on a subject near and dear to every good 1 citizen and Mother’s Millions, one of ■ the greatest plays of the day. Its a bargain you should not miss. i . .. i»rr , We saw a number of automobiles I ■ last evening and on each of these i particular ones we noticed that reckless boys —we presume they were boys-had placed chalk or soap marks. Perhaps they think these are easily washed off but-that is not true. The ( ’ soap or chalk scratches the body of the car so that it is almost impossible!, to remove the scars. It is malicious I, trespass to thus injure property an? , if the boys do not remember this it ; may be necessary to file affidavits. Please be careful boys. Everybody wants you to have a good time but ( do not expect you to go so far as toL damage valuable property.

The star’s countless admirers will welcome the announcement of his appearance at the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne, Monday and Tuesday next October 31 and Nov. 1, in his latest offering, “The Mak al Home.” termed a whimsical comedy of love, mystery and home building. The stellar tole of Gene Thomas affords Mr. Hodge every opportunity to display his distinctive talents to ad- . vantage. His part is that of a wellknown actor who is trying to complete a home for himself and family. The turmoil of carpenters, painters and" plumbers in action, the disorder of a house littered with tools and mater- - ials, the wrangliugs with builder and , architect, the treats of a Bolshevik , Mason, and the distrubance to domestic harmony resulting from the subtTh wiles of a beautiful lady interior decorator. there are a few factors that make Gene Thomas’ summer vacation anything hut a blissful one.
