We don't know just what the rest of the world thought of Governor A1 : Smith's speech but we are convinced "from the noise that came over the "tadio that the crowd which gathered at Albany was rather strong for him. % This seems to be a bootlegging age and it culminated yesterday in the mayor of Newburyport, Massachusi ■ etts being sent up for 330 days and fined $1,140 for selliug gasoline without a license. *». jev . -ajs. There is not going to be much real politics around here until after Old Home Week for everybody is going to be too busy, but that will leave six or seven weeks before election in which to talk it all over several times. rNow they have found a fellow they call the “human cork" who will try to swim from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Illinois. Just what good it will do we don't know but why should we let the English Channel have all the fame as a swimming place. Governor Smith believes in temperance but does not feel that the present system is bringing that. He will according to his promises, do every thing in his power to enforce the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act but claims the right to his own opinions and to democratic doctrines of state rights. He will fight any effort to return the saloon and will do everything he can for those laws which he believes will best promote temperance and decency. The ladieß in charge of the pageant to be given here during Old Home Week report that splendid progress is being made and that the groups will be called together soon for gen- “ eral practice. It will be worth while and one ot the finest things about it —is that so many of our people are thus •raiding in making the big week a big,.ger one and a better one. It's a fine -..spirit that is sure to reflect in many Always for the good of the community. The state board of health will is•—sue orders to the county authorities -demanding the immediate killing of all ownerless dogs which includes Ttliose that run around on the streets. ' That may seem a little harsh but the order followed the treating of eighty two people in one day for rabies and _„an average of twenty-rive a day this "month. Something must be done to “stop the spread of rabies in Indiana for it has increased rapidly the past - year and is really serious. '■ The democratic position on the m farm question is one of friendliness ..which is after all the be'st promise that can be made. Governor Smith ‘promises to call to his aid the experts in agrtcultuial lines that they may work out a sane, sound and sensible program for farm relief and you can bet a Rockefeller dime or one of your own that he will stay with it until he finds something that will actually help those engaged in agricultural lines. The budget for the city of Decatur as now prepared will total about fifty thousand dollars, the largest items being those for street repairs, police and fire protection and ornamental lighting Because of the fact that thu

, TODAY’SCHUCKLE Athens, 0., Aug. 23.—<U.R>—The first Ford automobile sold by F. R. Beasley, Ford dealer here, in 1913, has been found and pttrchas- [ cd by Beasley, who is displaying It in the window of his garage. ■ ■ valuations in the city have been de- ! creased and because expenses cannot j be reduced to any great extent there i will probably be a slight increase in | the tax rate. While that Is never ) impular no one has so far figured how * we can keep on improving and at the same time have lower taxes. The public is quick to follow the leadership of a man who lias earned i prominence by unselfish and honest service. If you dobut that statement, take note of the present candidacy of Frank C. Dailey who is running for governor on the Democratic ticket. No one can predict that Mr. Dailey will be elected because Indiana is considered a republican state, hut —anyone who knows anything about the present political situation realizes that Mr. Dailey's chances for election are bright—so bright. In fact, that he is greatly feared by republican leaders. If half of the decent citizens of Indiana who has expressed admiration for Mr. Dailey vote for him, and if democratic votes are not deflected, he will be our next governor. —lndianapolis Commercial. Here is a paragraph worth the thought of every citizen, taken from Smith's acceptance speech of last evening: “While this is a government of laws and not of men, laws do not execute themselves. We must have people of character and outstanding ability to serve the nation. To me one of the greatest elements of satisfaction in my nomination is the fact that I owe it to no one man or set of men. 1 can with complete honesty make the statement that my nomination was brought about by no promise given or implied by me or any one in my behalf. I will not be influenced in appointments by the question of a persons's wet or dry attitude, liy whether he Is rich or poor, whether he comes from the north, south, east, or west, or by what church lie attend in the worship of God. The sole standard of my appointments will be the same as they have been in my Governorship—integrity of the man or woman and his ’or her ability to give me the greatest possible aid in devoted service to the people.” — It is estimated that about one-half of ail the people in America heard Governor A1 Smith's speech of acceptance last evening. That alone is enough to convince the average person that this year's campaign will be somewhat different from any 1 heretofore. There is something about hearing such an address that makes it more effective than reading it and there will be many and varied opinions. It was a great address by one of the great men of this country. Anyone who doubts that Governor Smith is an unusual statesman need only read of the success he has had as chief executive of the great Empire state. He reviewed many problems in last night address and to many this may have sounded like the speech of any politician but the governor differs in this —he makes good on what he advocates. As a candidate for governor he told the people what he favored and made them certain promises. After he was elected he proceeded to <*.arry out his pledges. That's why the people of the east trust and believe him. He will devote his entire time if elected to a betterment) of the conditions in this country and we do not doubt will improve them for there is much room for that. He will prove a strong candidate and if elected a popular president. ************* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * i ************* —(U.R)AUGUST 23, 1918— French roll over flank of Crown Prince’s army.

' Man Long Forgotten Cave Name to Mount Obscurity and fame exist side by „ldo on Mount Robson. 12,1)72 feet, highest |M‘uk In Ihe Canadian Rockies. I The mountain llself li widely known ! for Its splendor, for tlie Impression j of towering height which It gives, as ! it stands at the head of ‘lie Grand Forks valley. But the origin of Its name and the manner of Its naming have rested long In the shadows. The legend came down from a trlhe t of the Shuswap Indians, who In the , early Nlenteenth century had worked their way from the west const Into the 1 mountains. They had n small encampr merit on the hanks of the Fraser. f.ong ago, they say, when white men were seldom seen in the moun--3 tains, a party of those strangers came In over Yellowhead pn.4* from the East and camped dose to the river with the mountain high above them. Their horses were poor and thin. They had 1 traveled far. t The newcomers sat long Into the twilight, made silent by the closeness ’ of this mighty column of lee and rock ■ that reached Into the skies. Never he- ; fore, they declared, had they come upon arfuhing to compare with It. In the morning they gathered their horse* and prepared to shoe those t that needed It. A blacksmith was In the party. As he grasped a hind foot the horse reared and kicked. The blacksmith took the blow In his head and died. His name was ltobson. Early records of the Hudson's Bay ' company state that there landed In Hudson hay, close to the end of the Eighteenth century, one “Joseph Itobt >n, blacksmith." Research Shows That Few Things Are “New” More than 2,500 years ago the. Greeks knew how to spin tops; they had pocket knives with bronze blades and exquisitely carved ivory handles, 1 and clasp pins, much like the safety pin by which Its modern Inventor made a fortune, were common, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. A process for making clear yellow-while glass was announced ns a new discovery not long ago, but excavations in Egypt show that the material was known there In the Second century B. C. A set of 150 pieces was recovered from the ruins of an ancient city. A sewer system that would compare favorably with any constructed today was laid in Crete some 2,500 years 15. C„ and you can turn the faucets of a system that was installed in ancient Pompeii. The Baffled Climber Owen Lb Young, the noted lawyer and capitalist of New \ork, said on disembarking from the Olympic: “While Vesuvius was In eruption 1 heard a 3tory about an English cockney tourist who vae doing Naples on a Polytechnic trip. “Well, this chap climbed up Vesuvius with a guide, and when they got to the top he beamed all over and said: “ ‘Now then, what about that there drink we're goin’ to have?’ “‘Dreenk?’ said the guide. T.ut eet | ees impossible to get dreenk up here, j sare.’ “‘Well, I'm blowed! said the tour- i Ist. ‘Walt till 1 get old of that bloke as told me this place 'ad been over- j flowin' with lager for three days.’” ■■■- i ■ ■ —i Pirate Gold The pirate captain was declaiming a spell-out square; it reads, “It is a glorious thing to be a pirate king.” The enigma being shouted by the crew is the familiar couplet from ‘‘Treasure Island”: “Fifteen meu on a dead j mail's chest, yo-ho-lm and n bottle of ! rum.” The rebus 1 on the scroll spelled j “Pirate treasure”—Pyre, Eight, Trays, Ewer. The pirate carrying the chest announced that It was tilled with "ingots and pieces of eight"—in G. OXd and a broken eight. Old, but Green Channcey M. Depew, at a reception in his New York home, criticized a June-December marriage after bis usual crisp fashion. “Old John Bullion is a healthy chap,” a banker had observed. “He’ll live to a green old age, old John will.” “Humph. He's reached it already," said Mr. Depew. “I met him down.town last week, and he told me he just married a chorus girl forty-two years his junior who loved him for "himself alone."—Pittsburgh Sun. I f " * ~ Concerning Canaries ■ The biological survey says that the actual origin of the canary as a cage i bird is obscure. It seems probable 1 !that captive canaries were first se- : .cured from the Canary islands, but It . is doubtful that this stock has furnished ancestors of all eur birds of this kind. The serin finch of middle land southern Europe Is so similar i that It may often have been captured i and accepted as a canary and tnterI bred until all distinguishable differences were lost. i ■ Thoughtful Driver i Policeman on Point Duty—Why ;didn't you put out your hand when you turned this corner? r i Pretty Little Motorist —Well, you see. It's this way. I've Just been out with Jack, and he gave me tile most thrilling diamond ring—isn’t It a beauty?—and I knew only too well ! that if I put out my hand tfie headj Jtglits of the ear behind would shine i m the diamond and ilnz.z'o the driver, j then anything might happen!

HIU DSON Patents F-Head Motor to thrilling new limits of performance The U. S. Patent Office has granted patents to the Hudson Motor Car Company on the “F-Head” high-compression motor. The patent—No. 1,656,951, relating to internal combustion engines—covers the entire arrangement of valves, spark plugs and combastion chamber. .J • » With the new patented design Hudson motors now are built with a compression ratio of nearly 6 to I—or 20 percent above the average—with correspondingly high standards of acceleration, fuel economy and power. It is practically impossible to make the motor knock under even the most adverse operating conditions. The motor is the liveliest, most powerful and economical Hudson has ever built. And it gives the most brilliant performance in Hudson history, far in advance of anything the industry has known. $ 1250 and up 1 1 8-inch Chassis ' Coupe $1265 (Rumble Seat S3O extra) Sedan $1325 Coach $1250 Roadster $1295 127-inch Chassis Standard Sedan $1450 Custom Victoria $1650 Custom Landau Sedan $1650 Custom 7-Pass.
