Governor Ed Jackson is building a new fifteen thousand dollar residence in Indianapolis. He has probably disposed of his seasons crop of horses and saddles. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is claiming Vermont for Hoover, not so much for them to yell about but we doubt if they are even real sure of carrying that state from which come some very unusual reports. i ——— —— Its just about too hot to do any thing, even write editorials. If the ] corn or any thing else needs sunshine and plenty of hot a;r, they are surely getting it. We are told that what is ; needed now in many sections is some showers. If we knew how to get them < for you, bet your life, we would do it. i . .... | Mr. Hoover will not do “any thing , emotional'’ to win the election and , will appeal to “the reason of the vot- ; ers," but he has no patent on that. , Governor Smith will also use a little f of the same kind of language we , opine. Judging from his campaigns ; in New York state, thats his long , suit. W e don't know just what Governor ( Smith said to George N. Peek, famed plow manufacturer and farm movement leader but any way he sold him ; and thats the important part. He will ( probably convince thousands of oth- , ers of the sincerity of his intentions < as to farm relief if he is elected ; president of the United States. | I 11. W. Thompson will be on the job ( Monday looking after any thing and ( every thing connected with Old , Home Week. His offices will be at the ( county agents office. If you need ( any thing, want any information, call j him. He will devote the next six . weeks to seeing that the event is a , success in every way. Help him do it. ( When the times are hard and people are not buying, is the very time that advertising should be the heav- ( iest. You want to get the people in to see what you have to sell, and you j must advertise to do that. When the * times are good they will come in of their own accord. But I believe in advertising all the time. I never stop advertising.—John Wanamaker. The four or five men who raided ' the New York night clubs admit they spent $70,000 of the government’s money and had a heluva time. That may be the only way the evidence can be secured but we doubt it. There seems to be a tendency to employ the wrong class of men to close up the dives. It is just six years since Mr. Coolidge became president. Much is claimed for those six years and whatever credit is due should be given him, but to the vast number of farmers and merchants and small manufacturers, there is nothing that we have heard to make them tear up their old hats for joy They have been rather lean years for must folks, don’t you thing? Fred Stone's airplane took a tail spin yesterday and the noted actor is laid up in the hospital with a pair of bioken legs, thus depriving him of his asset, for Fred is one of the great dancers of the country and won his

,1 TODAY’S CHUCKLE Lincoln, Neb., August 4.—(U.R) A 40-year-old hum faced a charge of I Intoaicatlon in Lincoln police court in his stocking feet. His shoes had . | been stolen during a night of re- . I velry, he testified. He was fined I $lO and costs. reputation thus. Guess we will wait until they get some kind of a parachute that will park the car when in trouble, before we try any of the fancy forms of traveling. There is considerable talk that Governor Smith will soon confer with Frank . Lowden, former governor of Illinois and admitted leader of the farm organization. While there is no assurance that Mr. Lowden will support Smith, nevertheless he is a great man who has studied the farm question long and seriously and whose advice will be good and Governor Smith is right in planning to confer with him and to get his ideas. David Lawrence is still trying to figure out why President Coolidge did not run again. Wonder if he ever thought that the "sileht man" may have figured that he would have to run against Governor Smith, that times are none too good in the east, that the farmers do not like his policies and that in general he would have had a pretty hard time leading in the race. Besides that he had all the honor he could get out of the office and a half million dollars in real money. What more could he desire? In todays issues appears the tentative official program for Old Home Week, “a fall festival, farm and industrial exposition." It is to be more than that. It will be a great get-to-gether session of the salt of the earth, those who formerly lived in Adams county and those who are citizens ' here now. The committee has worked weeks and have planned a big program for the event. Hundreds are coming home, great crowds will be here daily, there will be something doing all the time and with good weather, we will have the greatest time ever held in this county. Plan to be here. A high spot of Old Home Week will be the farm day, on which occasion the dairy business will play an important part. Mr. Klepper of the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., announces a program of merit and every one knows that means a real celebration for thats the way this company does things. There is no business in this county more important than dairying and too much attention cannot be called to it. There will be numerous events of interest on this day, including the Purdue exhibit, the farm parade and a beet and farm product show, all of which should prove attractive. Its going to be a great week. The modest campaigns proposed by Governor Al Smith and Secretary Hoover are already in the waste basket. Candidates may propose but the electorate disposes and the demand is that these men be seen and heard. It had been arranged that Mr. Hoover make four or five set speeches and the rest of his campaign be conducted from a front porch centrally located. Governor Smith was to make ten or a dozen speeches, no more and then use the radio. Now Mr. Hoover will tour New York, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Massachusetts and other sections while preparations are being made for a Smith tour extending from coast to coast. After all is said and done about platforms, there still seems to be a demand to know the personalities of the men who are asking for America’s biggest and most important job. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO ‘ * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥«¥« August 4,191 S Allies cross Vesle.

Letters From OLD TIMERS Who’re Coming Home 1 Ridgeville, Indiana July 30, 1928 Dr. Roy Archbold Decatur, Indiana. Dear Mr. Archbold: We thank you for the Invitation to come back to Decatur for Old Home Week. We moved from Decatur to Ridgeville seven years ago this August, hut always call Decatur home and hope to be there for Old Home Week. We thank you again and we remain Mr. and Mrs. Hosea Ray Fort Wayne, Indiana July 29, 1928 Chairman Invitation Committee Dear Sir: Replying to your kind invitation of recent date to attend Home Week in Decatur will say we will sure be there at least one day and hope to meet many of our old friends there. Trusting Home Week wjll lie even a greater success than in 1912. We remain. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Lhamon 221 W. Wildwood Fort Wayne, Indiana Fort Wayne, Indiana July 27. 1928 To the Committee: Received invitation to old home week. Many thanks. Would be glad to accept but health will not permit. Hut my thoughts will be there. Will always have a place in my heart toi Decatur. Etta Rinehart Washington, D. C. July 30, 1928. Dr. Roy Archbold, Chairman, Invitation Committee, “Old Home Week", Decatur, Indiana. Dear Dr. Archbold: I have delayed answering your kind invitation to return to Decatur, September loth to 15th, for the occasion of home-coming week in the hope that 1 might see the way clear to accept, which Mrs. Lucky and I would be m st happy in doing; but at this writing that hardly seems possible. The printed names of committees as contained on your letter of invitation reminds us ■ f some forty to fifty years ago when the possessors or possildy children of like names, weie students of ours in the early high school cf Decatur. It would certainly give us .pleasure to take them again by the hand and wisli them once more God speed in all worthy activity as in those early student days. As educators our lives of necessity have been more or less cosmopolitan. It is now forty-two years since the urge of duty called us from our happy childhood and adolescent homes into ether fields of labor, in which seven different States have been designated home; California as the bifth place of our children. New York and Nebraska as States of their early education. On the side I might mention, it was at Stanford University of the former State that I was a classmate of Secretary Hcover, though preceding him a year in graduation, and we were citizens of New York at the time that Governor Smith was taking unto himself a wife and beginning his publiccareer. But with all our wanderings, and they have brought many changes in both, we have not lost our affecti ar for the many kind people of Decatur whose lives and thoughts were wholesome stimuli to us in these early days. Character-building is a slow process, but it never ceases. It takes a lot of individual experiences to asset-t any noticeable change in man or woman. We gather the ideals that fixate us for all times from cur affective invironment which is often so subtile that it may Rass by others wholly unnoticed. Many incidents occurred in my early experiences at Decatur, no doubt duplicated many times in others, which had much to do in shaping the course of my after life. Not to be burdensome may 1 relate but one: My home was three miles in the country; the neighboring church was prepatirig for a Sunday School picnic; the country choir needed an organist to aid in rehersal and direction; Matie Studabaker had accepted direction providing she was furnished with suitable conveyance to and from rehearsals. I The rehearsals were held in the eve- ’ nings after the busy day of farm work , was over. It fell to my lot to see that •

Miss Studabaker was safely brought and returned. She had. just returned from her student days at Earlham college, Richmond. Iml., and was full of the subject which had disturbed my dreams on the farm. She was slightly younger than I though better educated and mole cultured and refined. I fell my crudity and her superiority, but she enthused me with an increasing desire for a college education for which I have felt grateful ever since. As I look back over these years and associations I find many oilier experiences somewhat similar in nature and their effect for good: quite frequently the participants remaining wholly unconscious of the deep emotional changes and' thought action taking place in the minds of one another. In yi-uth we sow; in age we reap, but the reajilng, for the most part, follows in dose harmony to the sowing. Whether a community becomes great or small, cieative or destructive, in its directing influence on the problems of life depends,Hn large part, on the nature, I strength, health. Ideals, and constructive activity of its citizenry, all of t which is largely within human control. We wish for you, members of the , committees, all present and formpr ci- , tlzens < f Decatur, u Joyful and menior- , able home-coining week. Sincerely yours 1 G. W. A.
