The season's best Joke is to close tile golf courses on election day, thus giving the tired business men a chance to rest and vote. Remember that family reunions during Old Home Week will be the popular thing and you are sure to have a great time. Plan a picnic dinner and then Join in the many entertainments provided. The income of the small farm has been found to be insufficient, which isn't the worst of it—the larger the farm, the more insufficient are the returns in many instances. Earning a fair return on investment of capital and labor is a problem these days. Mr. Hoover it is said is so eager to open the political liattle that he can scarcely wait. He will probably be just as eager to see it end for from what little we have been able to 1 learn, its a tough old game at best. The American Federation of Labor after a some what heated session, decided not to go on record in favor .of Al Smith for fear of disorganizing to some extent the organization, which was probably wise but which need 1 not and will not prevent most of the members from votlhg for Smith. When Mayor Jimmy Walker re- 1 •turned to New York they gave him a grand reception and treated him as though he was a stranger in a strange land. While a lot of it was for fun, there was no doubt in the demonstration that the folks in the old home 1 town loved their mayor and did not hesitate to say so. Dr. Glenwood, of Woodside, Long Island, sent his wife to the lake for I a month and then proceeded, according to neighbors to have a good time with the ladies and with other gents who had sent their wives to the coun- i try. Mrs. Glenwood came home, a quarrel followed and she slew him i with the bread knife, all of .which : would indicate that if you must send your wives to a summer resort, you ought to have sense enough to hide the dangerous utensils. W. H. Thompson is planning to I have all the churches of the city join in the spirit of Old Home Week by holding special exercises on the Sunday previous, extending special invitations to members w r ho are away and in several of the churches former pastors will give the sermons. Thats the proper spirit. Make it a real i home coming for every one and help extend to them every courtesy and every favor that will help them enjoy the week. The Old Home Week committee discussed the program for the big event lasfe- night and added several attractions. You can bet your last dollar that its going to be an occasion worth coming miles to attend. Nothing is to be left undone to give every one a good, wholesome entertainment during the entire week. PUns for decorating the town to give it a gala appearance are also under way and will be definitely decided upon next Tuesday evening. Gene Tunney is not so dumb. When he recently quit the prize ring a lot of folks thought he had suddenly be-

The plot failed when Bobby I encountered his mother. come just plain “goofy” but now comes the announcement through the , New York Herald that he is soon to marry Miss Josephine Lauder, beautiful twenty-one year old heiress to I the Lauder fortune of fifty million dollars. He would have to do a lot of ordinary fighting to get a prize of that kind. Its quite probable that if this report is true he will not bother much about the proposed Chautauqua tour either. That man Stege who has been named chief of detectives in Chicago apparently means business. His first order to his thousand men was “more action and less words." He will not grandstand nor bluff. He has undertaken to rid" the city of its dangerous underworld gang and if they don't stop him some way, will do it. Business men and citizens in general welcome his comeback and have promised him any support they can give. If one hundredth part of what has been reported from there is true they haven’t secured this grey haired fighting police official any'too soon. Several farmers near Berne will reap a crop of peppermint which will be worth about a hundred dollars per acre, not so l>ad for this period when I thats about the average price of Adams county land. It shows there is away to beat tfie game. By the way we still believe that with a little effort the average farmer can make splendid returns by beet farming. A - man who has studied the subject thoroughly and knows what he is talk l ing about says this county could easily produce a million dollars worth of sugar beets in a year. That would be a fine thing to do for it would soon make this one of the richest connties in America and the prices of land would soar accordingly. Its worth thinking real seriously about, farmers and merchants of Adams county. The good roads fellows are getting lined up for an assault on the auto driver at the coming session of the Indiana legislature. Several plans seem to be in the offing. One is to raise the auto license tax. Another is to take all the three cents gasoline tax and pay it into the state highway department, leaving the counties and the incorporated towns and cities out of the picture, the claim being that the state highway department can do more with the money than the counties can. Another is to bond the state for several million dollars and build all state roads as soon as humanly possible. This latter move would make a bond buyer and contractor picnic for a few years. Many, no doubt, will think Indiana is getting along very well and wish to stand pat. —Bluffton Banner. The Annual report of the Provident Building and Doan Association shows a splendid condition, with loans amounting to more than $55,000, which means that amount of money has been loaned in this community tor the building of homes. This city has two loan associations, this and the Decatur Building and Loan, both of which are worthy institutions, organized to meet the problems of thosp desiring to erect homes, fine adjuncts to any city. They deserve your support. If you do not want to build you should take running stock in one of these companies for you cannot invest in any thing safer and > at the same time you are aiding others. Then when you do wish to build you have that much start. Don't put it off, become a member this week.

Comments Made On “LIMBERLOST DAY” By Noted Persons Richmond, Ind., \luly 25th. 1928 Secretary of Old Home Week Dear Sir: It is quite unlikely that I can get away on September, 11 to attend your celebration. This I much regret as yours is etactly the kind of a memorial occasion which seems to me of the highest value—preserving tire just fame of one who has contributed so vitally to the real advancement of nature study and of Indiana literature. The work of Mrs. Porter will be appreciated when the Jazz music, the cubist painting the "futurist" poetry and the •slang prose which claim the field today are all forgotten. Yours faithfully Wnt.

French Quinu, Secretary, • "Old Home Week in Decatur ", Decatur, Indiana My dear Mr. Quinn: Upon my return to this office, I find your very cordial invitation of July 20. Mis. Gene Stratton-Porter wa*t at all times a true conservationist. We remember with pleasure and respect that she fired the opening gun in the fight to prevent the drainage of the Noble and La Grange County areas, which have desecrated most of your finest lakes. It was she who called the attention of this Department to the situation and inaugurated the battle in which the drainage case Was bpaten. Through her very excellent books, both fiction and nature lote, many people, both yooug and old, were interested in the out-of-doors and given a new respect for our Hoosier State. It is most fitting that your community should erect a memorial to Mrs. Porter and we join heartily in the ideal. ' Sincerely yours Richard Lieber. Director. The Departent of Conservation.

California, Chairman Invitation Committee Decatur, Indiana Dear Sir: Your letter of recent date advising of a Home Coming Wees, and the invitation to attend was duly received and inieturn I thank you very much. 1 surely w< uld he glad to be there, to meet some of the old timers, with whom I spent my boyhood. Decatur always held a spot in my thoughts. It was there where 1 grew up to manhood. Si me of the incidents of which I remember was when Decatur bought its first Hook and Ladder to fight fire with, it was quite a show to us people. The truck was on exhibition for several evenings in front of the Cams Drug store where now the Adams County bank is located then the Clover Leaf railroad was put through and later on the Erie Railway. We all thought Decatur would scon out grow Fort Wayne. The opera house was located in the Old Kohler Hall a few doors east of the Court House. All shows that came to town was given in that hall. We boys always tried for a free entrance, quite often there was a window which was easy to raise and a number of the b ys would crawl in. On one occasion we was all lined up for our turn to steal our way in and Frank France was the first up the ladder he. missed his footing and fell into a cistern. That put a damper on things for that night. Then at another time (Mr) Frank Mann got stuck in the window on account of his over chat These incidents come to mind Tts i think of Decatur. These two (now the less its the truth. Mr Mann sends men) will deny the charge, but never me the Decatur Democrat quite often so 1 am pretty well up on Adams County ngws. I may possibly be able to attend, 1 hope so, but I am sending my best wishes for a successful time and a big attendance. Thanking you again Respectifully E. Ed Potts, Yuba City, California.
