Thieves stile over two thousand cartons of cigarettes at Michigan City the other night. That ought to do the boys a few days. — Au Ohio woman has sued her hus-1 band for a divorce alleging that he i prefers to listen to the radio rather than to her. Os course friend hubby conies back with the sarcastic reply ; that the radio can be turned off. Senator Heflin thinks millions are! now being expended to nominate Smith ' and Hoover, but Heflin thinks a lot i of things that makes us believe lie I has more imagination than good j sound sense. Greater stock booms are to come' according to Mr. Durant. Now if he will tell us just which ones will boom every body can get rich. The trouble I is that all this talk is on an artificial j basis and will—so continue so long as ' the farm industry is crippled.

Down in Darham, North Carolina.. they have a horse which can not only t count and figure but is a mind read-. er according to statements from reliable sources. Now we begin t*>, understand what they mean by ‘‘horse 1 sense.” Price $2,500. Homing up country clubs seems to be the latest crime epidemic at Indianapolis where they have had two in as many days. When a half dozen men can hold up two hundred and shake them down for all their jewelry and money and make a successful get- j away, they are having a big break of luck as well as nerve. We doubt if there will be a hundred . thousand farmers at the Kansas City convention as tile republicans are expecting. Most of them will be busy along about that time trying to get some genuine relief by securing a crop and again hoping they will be able to sell it at a profit no difference what the politicians do or say. Our old friend Ed Cox over at Hartford City has landed a contract to print ten million candy wrappers a month for the Baby Ruth company, one of the largest printing orders ever let in the state. Ed has been increasing his plant the past few years until it now extends almost over an entire block. Good boy, Ed. Hope you keep on until you have covered the whole north end of town and made several million. Don't know' any body we would rather see do it. Captain Kingsford and three aides from the United States air department, successfully piloted their threemotored Fokker monoplane. Southern Cross from California to Honolulu, first lap of their over sen journey to Australia, longest voyage of its kind ever attempted. They were in the air nearly twenty-eight hours and were just at the end of the fuel supply when they reached Wheeler field. From now on for the next several months the public will have many thrills of these kinds and we are hoping that every trip will be as successful. Things don't look so bright for Mr. Hoover these days. He was running along smoothly and uninterrupted until lie was knocked off by the Wat-

aoniaus of Indiana. Now he has lost West Virginia and his opponents are declaring the people are not for him. However, his backers iuslsl he is the popular man and will go on through r. with their tight, whatever the outr'! come. He will lead on the first bal- '* lot of the Kansas City convention and r, if he Is beaten they will have to deadlock the convention and take a chance as they did in the Indiana state 2 convention last week. II, I ,IF ■ ■ - 9 Among those being rtientioned as 5 j candidates for the democratic nomiu 5 atiou for state superintendent of pub--9 lie instructions is E. 8. Christen of ) jthis county, a man, splendidly quail'lied for the place. Mr. Chrieteu has been in school work many years and served several terms as superintendent of Adams county. Besides that * lie lias taught in grade and high schools and served as principal of a ’ number of schools. Needless to say if Mr. Christen is a candidate he will receive the support of the eighth dis- . trict and will draw strength from - various sections of the state jh which he has worked. Those desiring admission or stage I tickets for the demoncratic state convention to be held in Indianapolis I next Wedhesday may secure same by I applying at this office. The couveuI tion will be held in Cadle Tabernacle, providing room for ten thousand people so that all who desire to ati tend may do so tiiis year. The couj veutiou will be an interesting one ! with contests for nearly all of the I offices. Daniel Simms, of Lafayette, will be temporary chairman and Lew i O Bannon, of Corydon, will serve as j permanent chairman. The district ( meetings will be held Tuesday eveI ning in the state house robms. Headquarters have already been opened by a number of the candidates. —o ——
