Get a float ready for the big industrial parade to be held here Friday of Old Home Week. If you can’t do that, decorate your car and get in the - big line of march. It required the services of fifteen ± thousand people to pick this season's •• pineapple crop in Hawaii, which perhaps account for the absence of the hula hula on the radio. Everybody was busy. Speaker Harry G. Leslie, republican nominee for governor of Indiana is not finding the going so good in this campaign. He will not either so long as he keeps company with those ’ who have misplaced the confidence of the people once intrusted with them. • • *■ "—■ It's about time to stop the running of the stop signals again. We notice occasionally that they do it and the e only way to stop it is to have a few of the violators up on the carpet. Seems queer that it requires this continual calling of attention to the matter but it does. Mr. Hoover need not worry; every thing is alright now, Congressman Vestal, Fred Schortemeier. Will R. Wood, Eliza Rogers and Henry Marshall have approved his speech. Os course they were ready to approve what ever he said but now they have done it and so everybody is ready to go. Don't forget to have a special for Old Home Week and then don't forget to tell the folks about it through the Daily Democrat. There will be a big crowd in town every day we are sure and if you invite them into your store they will come and probably buy Something. Opinions as to the acceptance speech by Herbert Hoover, republican nominee for president, vary considerably. While all the leading newspapers admit it was a great docu- - ment in many ways, they differ as to * his position on farm, prohibition, im1 migration and other matters of im- • portance. It's sometimes* a nuisance to be "Z famous. Gene Tunney, world cham- “ pion fighter and who recently became “ engaged to a fifty million dollar - beauty, had to return to New York *• yesterday and to avoid reporters and - others, was forced to disguise himself. He did it by wearing smoked ” glasses and turning up his coat 2 collar. •W! ' ■ 1 ■ This is Hoover and Curtis week and after its ail over and everybody, has expressed an opinion, along will come - Smith and Robinson with their - speeches and start all the talk over. In just about two or three weeks the ’ most interesting campaign ever conducted in this country will be open and going good. ■nA "*■■■■ ■■■ —- '■ It is being planned to urge a number of those who come here for Limberlost day, tp stay over for farm day and during the morning to ‘ visit the Limberlost territory where it is proposed to build a lake.\ Many of those active in the Isaac Walton League are deeply interested in that plan and will no doubt look it over while here. “Ti-T Frank Daily and Albert Stump will

I TODAY’SCHUCKLE Wadhaiu's N.Y., Aug. 14.—(U.R) — Farmers near here are railing a fund to buy a collar for "Jimmie,” a fox hound who has slain 40 woodchuck. The collar will bo suitably inscribed. open the democratic campaign in Indiana at Salem on the last day of this month. Three days prior to that Senator Jarnos Watson will do the job tor the republicans at Frankfort. Our guess is that the Dailey-Stump meeting will be far and away the most sincere and that the people will sense it. The next big attraction will be the new bills being put out by Uncle Sam. They will be ready for distribu-

tion in a few days it is said and every body will be anxious to get a few of them. They are described as looking ; like cigar coupons but most of us . will be able to discern the difference, , especially if we can get hold of a few of those ten thousand dollar babies, i Just when we were feeling that the hot wave had passed and that from now on we would be able to enjoy the late summer without thtj’ |extreme weather, we are reminded by the prognosticators that another hot wave is coming. There is however this thought, it won't last many weeks and it won't be long until we will be wishing for some of the heat waves. The over Sunday fatalities in Indiana included about everything on the calendar, drownings, auto collisions, one boy fell from him pony, one man was killed in dynamite explosion, another was stabbed to death and several were struck by trains or traction cars. The list looks large but when we consider that there are some two and a half million people in the state and most of them ride over the week ends or otherwise travel to entertain themselves, the proportion of accidents is after all rather small. There seems to be much jubilation among republicans over what thev feel is a chance to carry one or two southern states, thus breaking up the old traditional solid south. If in the political mix-up this year the democrats can manage to trade some of the south for some of the north, it might be a good thing in more ways than one. And the chances for the democrats to carry ten or more northern republican states this ’year looks much better than for the G.O.P. to annex one of the ten reliability democratic states or the south. Arthur Evans, covering Indiana for the Chicago Tribune and writing politics as he sees it, declares this very debatable ground. He thinks that Frank Dailey has decidedly the best of things for the governorship and that odds are about even on the presidential outcome in Hoosierdom. He finds that in the Calumet district the orders are not going out to the workingmen that they should vote the republican ticket and many are guessing that the 20,000 plurality given Harding and Coolidge will be wiped out by the returns this year. Similar reports are made by other newspaper men and unless they are all wrong there is a real contest on. ’ One of the benefits derived from an Old Home Week campaign is the widespread publicity for this community. Besides the several thousand letters sent to those who previously lived in this county, hundreds have been sent to people of note, particularly for Limebrlost and Farm days and letters of appyeciation have been received by the secretary from many of them including George Ade, George Barr McCutcheon, Ellis Parker Butler, ifane Grey, Senators Watson and Robinson, Frank C. Dailey, Gifford Pinchot, Theodore Roosevelt, William Dudley poulke, Prof. Kershener, Frank Warren, Irvin Cobb, Jacon M. Dickinson, “Outdoor Smith,” Henry B. Ward, Harry G. Leslie, Dr. Frank Crane, Richard Leiber, Frank N. Doubleday. Max Ehrman, Prof. Foster, Governor Jackson, Prof. James A. Woodburn, Rollin R. Marquis, Charles B. Coleman and many others. Tint's a list worth thinking 11 over and when you consider that so

many have taken the trouble to reply, a number of them accepting, the invitation you will begin to have au idea of how the celebration is being considered. - » The PEOPLE’S VOICE « -H . « 54 Thia column for the uae of our M 11 M readers who wish to make sug- K f X gestlong for the general good K t W or discuss questions of interest. 14 B X Please sign your name to show X W authenticity.

We wonder what it will be like? Who will be there that we used to know and • have not seen tor so many years. We ■ can also think of so many gone for ever, but not forgotten. Os course it 1 wont be u big affair like "Old Home ; Week” in Decatur, but we believe i there will be quite a number come that knew old Salem in the early days when nearly every thing was woods. Salem consisted of a few dwelling houses and a log church, there are quite a number left that remember the log church and can tell of the good old times spent there. They didn't go in buggies or autos, but walked foot logs and climed rail fences, with a lantern or torch light. We still have with us aunt Zoa Clawson, who has always lived in and near Salem, and should the Good Lord spare her life she will be at the Home Coming aud she will be 94 years old August 10, she remembers the old log church, and also has several relics she could exhibit that one would hardly think could be so old. So every body come to Salem August 19 and have a good old hand shake. % t Old Salem was built by our fore fathers who now lie beneath the sod. And one house much more sacred was an old church made of logs. They never were to tired to go . through rain and sleet and fogs. But were always happy on the way to this old church, made of logs. Those were Hallelylah times and they shouted “Praise the Lord” For they had the old time religion. In this old church made of logs. They were without money and with-I out price, these blessings from the Lord'. Salvation was flee for you and ma. in this old church made of logs. But Oh! how many changes, Except- ( ing our Dear Lord, for he is just the same today as when in this old church made of logs. Here's hoping for Old Salem. “Booster”. • o—- ♦ ¥¥¥¥¥<!•♦♦¥¥*♦ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * K¥¥¥¥¥¥«¥¥¥¥K TUESDAYS FIVE BEST RADIO FE Copyright 1928 by United Press WJZ —network 630cst. — Lewiohn stadium concert.
