If yesterday didn't suit you as (o ( weather, wo don't know how you can be pleased. It was juat warm enough with a lino breeze ami a relief for ( those who must stay at home during i this seashore and mountain season. 1 - " 1,1 1 *• i Do you realize that its just eight i weeks from today to Old Home Week? i Os course there is much to do done i but with the committees all at work, I you may feel sure every thing will be | ready for the big occasion. 1 i Intemperance alter all can only be really cured by will power. Daws may regulate and make 11 more difficult to < be intempeiate but it has been demon- t strated that to lessen the teachings i against the drink curse is a serious j, mistake. i =9 j Governor Smith is a red blooded in- r dividual who does not propose to be j maligned. He gave out a statement c Saturday in which 1 he told in very j plain language what he thought of c Editor White of Kansas and Rev. Miller of New York and its very probable he will step on several of those [ opposing him who attack him unfairly. , Television is said to be almost per- 1 fected and it will soon be possible to not only hear what is going on at a ( convention, a foot ball game, the world series or a prize light but to actually see. Then we presume some f smart guy will invent a means of sell- ( ing us red pop, peanut and hot dogs by wireless. e While the campaign will not open really until after Labor Day there are many indications that this is to be the warmest and most interesting pollti a cal battle held in many years. Giants . in the great American game of government and politics are to engage in a duel that ought to excite enough ( people to make the vote the largest ( ever cast in this country. Some one has figured it out that 1 but thirty per cent of the women make * good wives, the kind who stay home ' to cook and scrub and new the but- 1 tons on. but for sonio reason he 1 doesn't mention the number of men ; who make good husbands, tile kind 1 who stay home when they can and ' try to lighten the burdens of their 1 wives. Wouldn't be surprised if II was about 50-50. ___________ A year ago every body was alarmed that (he corn borer was going to eat every body out of housr and Home. Now we scarcely ever bear of them. ' Evidently that appropriation of ten million dollars by tlie government made jt necessary to alarm everybody. Now that Its spent we presume the farmer can go on at I eliding to his own business In ills own way. A man who was carrying a fiftypound storage battery wan picked up by a kind hearted ruin runner near Kokomo and given a lift of two miles. Just aa they neared their destination however, they were arrested for having a truck load of hard liquor and tile "lifted' - is having alxiut as hard a time explaining it to the Judge us the "lifter." The dual efforts to secure the name of every person who formerly lived here, in order that an invitation may

Peggy Joyce, famous movie star is planning her sixth marriage and she looks as though she may be good for a dozen more. Peggy has a mania for getting married, divorced, remarried and redivorced and gets much of her first page publicity via that route. Whether she is hard to please or doesn't measure up to her husband's requirements has never been definitely decided. Perhaps Lord Northesk will be able to please lier after he has his divorce. Many r/implalnts are being received at (lie police department because dogs are running over the town, destroying flower ami vegetable gardens and otherwise causing trouble and annoyance. Its line to keep pels but they should be kept at borne and not permitted to ruu at large. It is quite likely that it will be necessary to dispose of a number of stray dogs unless greater care is used In keeping them off tlie streets. A woman over at Rochester saved ail tlie pennies she received tile past three years and last week turned them in on a bill of furniture. There were six thousand of them. Now those who read Hie feature story are wondering just what her business was that she could casually throw so many oue-cent pieces In a bucket. Saving six hundred dollars in three years is not so bad whether it be in pennies or any other denomination. Herbert Hoover, republican nominee for president passed through Indiana yesterday on his way to Palo Alto, California, where be is to be notified. While it is possible lie already lias some idea that lie was the successful candidate at Kausas City, it seems to to be necessary to put on the big show. Shortly afterwards tlie demo crats will surprise Governor A1 Smith the same way but on the opposite side of the United States. Then will begin the battle for at each of these events the candidates will express their ideas in acceptance speeches. Its just a part of the business of electing a president. The total valuation of Adams county for tax purposes will be thirty-three million dollars, according to the tentative figures from the office of County Auditor Jaberg. While this is a reduction of about three million dollars it does not mean that we have backed up to any extent. Tlie loss is due to the decrease of values placed on farm and city properties as has been advocated by many for several years past. The reduction in valutions, if it stands, will mean of course Increased tax rates. However this is perferame by many for tlie lower Ihe valuation of township or corporation, Ihe less amount can be Bpent when bonus are necessary. The straw votes as published in yesterdays papers indicate a very de clciea Smith trend, causing the republican papers to declare that its too early to place much confidence in them. That may be true but if the figures are accurate they show such a i hauge as to cause real fight In the Hoover camp. In Pittsburgh, for instance, the vote stands 12.189 for Hoover and 17,073 for Smith/ while four years ago in tlie same territory the vole was 10,057 for Coolidge and 2,224 for Davis; in Boston the vote shows 5,596 for Hoover ami 18,262 for Smith while four years ago it was 8,075 for Uoolldge and 4,519 for Davis. Similar charges are shown In the straws from San Francisco, Detroit, Los Angeles, Now York, Chicago, Milwaukee ami many other places. While 1 political leaders' declare they do not I believe in these signs, we notice the r Hoover managers are planning some
