Senator Curtis is telling the Rhode Islanders how to farm and we presume the easterners will soon be out west telling us how to conduct business. "Millions of baby fish placed in Indiana lakes," says a headline, which is probably some smooth propaganda to lure us to them in 1929. They say dropping five to ten thousand feet in a parachute or doing a head spin that distance in an airplane will cure deafness but most folks would just as leave be a little hard of hearing. We have some information that the east and west road from the state line through this city to Huntington is still “in the bag’’ and that we will get it for Christmas if Santa Claus doesn’t lose our address. Look out for frost is the warning sent out by the weather men. It's entirely too early for any of that stuff and here’s hoping it gets side tracked some.Wh.ere between North Dakota where they have it now and Adams county. Governor Smith was deluged with telegrams and letters following his acceptance speech and there is no doubt that the country likes his frankness and his honesty and that millions will vote for him because of his honest desire to serve his nation as he served his state. Mr. Hoover has promised Mr. Curtis that if he is elected the vice-presi-dent may sit in at the cabinet meetings but what of it. Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Marshall both had that privilege but that’s ail. They can’t do anything with the information they receive at such meetings and very soon become so disgusted that they quit attending. Well anyway there seems to be plenty of fruit this year and if something doesn’t happen to head off the crop every pantry ought to be well filled soon. With fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price and fuel down to almost prewar costs the outlook for a comfortable winter ought to brighten. They are having quite a time about the corn borer over in Huntington county and a big mass meeting has been called by those opposed to spending a lot of money and time to fighting the pest. It is rather queer when we stop to think of all the fuss made around here a year ago and so far as can be seen the crop is better this year than for some time.

There will be so many features and attractions here during Week that it will require the entire week for you to see them and you will have to keep good and busy at that. Plan to enjoy it all, that's the only way to assure yourself of not missing any of the worth while events. There is one thing sure an that is that the average person or corporation will never make the mistake that the United States Steel Company claims to have made. They declare

TODAYSCHUCKLE Fredericksburg, Tex., Aug. 24. —(U.R) —A Hereford bull chased an automobile, pierced the radiator with one of its horns, and a lamp with the other. The force of the colliilon threw the bull to the ground and broke his neck. that there was an error of over a hundred million dollars In their tux report of 1918. Governor Smith Is opposed to war and will do everything he can when ever he can to prevent it which is after all about as important a promise as a candidate for president can make to his people. We do not believe wars are necessary in this day and age and we hope that plans can be formulated that will prevent them for the next million years or so. A truck load of liquor valued at about $2,500 was seized at Nappanee yesterday. The driver said he was on his way from Detroit to Fort W’ayne. He was certainly 'going the round about way which may be the wise route. What becomes of all the liquor that is confiscated any way’ We hardly ever hear of any of it being poured into sewers. There are indications that the mystery surrounding the finding of the charred body of a man in Steuben county may develop into a murder as the results of efforts to enforce the liquor laws. Such things are occuring far too frequently and there should be and surely is some way to curb the crime wave which has .spread over the country the past few years. A man named Jim Ashe down near Danville, Kentucky, engaged in a very successful rabbit hunt the other day. His dog chased the long eared animal into a hollow stump and made such a fuss that Jim decided to help him. When he ran his hand in to grab the rabbit he found a silver dollar and kept on digging until he had uncovered <a kettle containing more than eighteen hundred, all bearing dates more than seventy-five years old. He ought to think pretty well of the dog. As many suspected, the Fort Wayne News Sentinel does not approve of the acceptance speech of Governor Smith. In a long editorial in which they take up his address paragraph by paragraph they conclude with the statement, that it is a “pita for office not very well supported by any thing definite.” The general opinion of the public however seems to be that h» was far more definite than any candidate has ben in a decade. Al Smith has opinions and expresses them whether you agree with them or not. That’s one of his best known qualities. Senator Borah is to be the headliner in the republican national campaign and is being called the "Big Bertha.” It is even rumored that if he dan put Mr. Hoover over he is to sit in the chair once occupied by that other great political orator, William Jennings Bryan, but we doubt if shaking his great mass of hair and noaring at the people will attract as much attention this year as has similar attempts in former campaigns. This will be more a campaign in which people listen to the radio and do their own thinking. Big Berthas usually shoot over the heads of most of the people any way.
