Briefs favoring and opposing tariff Increases have been filed with the tariff commission by the peanut interests. Would you call that peanut potties or science? if every one who has violated the prohibition laws and thereby added to the general opinion that they cannot be enforced, would vote for Governor Smith, he would have the greatest majority ever given to any candidate. According to Arthur Brisbane, the gentlemen on Wall street are not worrying about who will be elected president. They feel sure that either of the candidates wi ll do all that they can to make business good. So thats out of the campaign. Frank C. Dailey, candidate for governor and Albert Stump, candidate for the United States senate will open the democratic campaign in this state at Salem next Friday. It will be an allday session with plenty of pep and go and an auspicious opening for the 192 S battle. Schools in this county will open next Monday and for the next eight or nine months there will be the usual activities connected therewith. It may seem a little monotonous for the children but if they are wise they will dig into their lessons. You will 1 need the knoweldge some days boys i and girls so get it now when you have the opportunity. The price of wheat is now below’ sl.lO in Chicago and the farmer will get less than a dollar it is predicted. Yet they have the nerve to tell the farmers of this country that they are getting along well enough and that supply and demand will take care of the situation. Its time for the farmer to be for a change and every one else who believes he has a right to get ■ something for his efforts. Bad boys of Chicago are being placed on farms where they are given an • opportunity to Hearn how corn, wheat and oats, cows and pigs and other . necessities are produced. Reports indicate that many of them are getting along just fine. Nice for the boys no doubt, but probably very trying for some of those who try to make them honest producers instead of future gangsters. Now they promise us that soon we may buy at very low cost an attachment for our radios and see a ’program of moving pfetures while listening to the music* speeches and other entertainments, but don’t get excited. We fear the announcement may be premature, and any way it will be better to let the other fellow try out this new contraption though we do not doubt that eventually it wllh be perfected. The backets of Mr. Hoover claim they have all but thirty-one votes necessary to elect him president, in the bag as a result of his trip across the country* last, week. Isn't that lovely? Now he can go fishing again or borrow the White House yacht and go a sailing out to sea. In the meantime however th,e Smith boosters doubt the statement and will keep right on working to the end that the votes may be checked up on the right

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Nebraska City, Nob., August 28 — fiJ.RF—City firemen did no work for 30, days. Just as the chief was congratulating the town on having no fires, the alarm sounded. side of the ledger early in November when they count more lhau uow. W. C. Durant, well-known automobile manufacturer who recently announced he would vote for Hoover uow admits that the present prohibition laws are a failure by offering a $25,000 prize for the most practical plan for enforcing it. The trouble is that there seems to be no workable plan. If we have twenty million police officers and stationed one at every house, there would still he violations because many of them would probably enjoy a nip with the violators. Fourteen of the greatest nations of the world yesterday signed a treaty outlawing war, an item of news that should be pleasing to every" citizen of the world for If the pact is kept it is assured that there will be no wars of serious consequence effecting the civilized portions of the globe. Frank B. Kellogg, secretary of state, signed for the United States and it is possible that if we had taken the same attitude such a treaty woulU have been effected some years ago. But why complain? We have it now and here's hoping it proves to be the document it is intended to be. It is a pleasure to have the school teachers of the county as guests of Decatur this week. They are'attendlng the annual institute and we are sure they will enjoy every lecture and every moment of the meetings. We hope they will likewise have reasons to appreciate the hospitality of ou r people. Superintendent Striker has arranged for them an excellent program, with a number of the leading educators of the country taking pait. Besides the benefits to be derived from the educational part of the institute there is also the equal--8 pleasant incidents of the reunions of old friends engaged in the same progression. It should be a very happy week for those engaged in

u ♦ ♦♦ ♦♦ • • »• ••••••••• ♦♦ ***** * • • • • ** ****** ♦ ♦ : Zion Lutheran Parochial School Announces ; j New Term and its Purpose and Policy • • I* The parochial school of the local Lutheran church will open the J new school-year September 4th at 8:15. Parents, whose children are i ready to enter, should kindly inform the pastor, Rev. Paul \V. Schultz, * before the opening date. * The Lutheran parochial school is and contrail- ♦ led by the local Lutheran church for the purpose of instructing children J in the elementary branches of general knowledge, teaching them the « Word of God, and educating them according to Christian principles, t The Lutheran school stresses the moral and religious education of its , pupils, at the same time, however, fully teaching all those things, which • make for intelligent citizenship. The state maintained elementary J ♦ schools do not offer religious instruction, and never should, because no « i teacher can refrain from a biased interpretation of the Bible and from * influencing a child to his or her religious views and principles. The J ♦ right and duty to teach religion rests not with the state, as the consti- ♦ J tution of our country rightly declares, but with the home Ephesians * ♦ 6, 4—and with the church—Matt. 28, 18-20. It was the consciousness of « t this duty that from the beginning of the Christian era has prompted con- J J gregations and pastors to make some provision for the religious instruc- t ♦ tion and education of their youth. And the best and by far the-most ♦ I effectual means found so far is the Christian day-school or parochial J I school. And our Lutheran Christians, desiring to have their children not « ? merely instructed in secular branches, but also, indeed, above all, in the * I Word of God and to have them truly educated and brought up in the , ♦ nuiture and admonition of the Lord, besides helping to support the ♦ ! public schools with their taxes, cheerfully contribute towards the mainte- J ♦ nance of their parochial schools, 4 t A distinctive feature of these schools is the corps of teachers. , J Men properly prepared for their vocation and graduated from state-ac- 4 4 credited Lutheran Normal schools are called to teach, and they make J l their profession a life-work. Such a man will take charge of the local . ♦ Zion Lutheran school .this coming school year. All these men consider J * it their duty, not merely to instruct and to impart knowledge, but to , J educate, to form and build the character of the child. ♦ ♦ The plan of study embraces all the common school branches taught * in the public school: reading, grammar, composition, arithmetic. United « J States history, and the elements of social and vocational civics, geog- J * raphy, nature study, elementary physiology, hygiene, drawing, penman- # J ship, and singing. The first period in the iporning is extra time added ♦ ♦ and is devoted to religious instruction, with the aim to teach and tram , 1 children in godliness (I. Tim. 4,8) so they may be noble and loyal j ♦ citizens and above all inherit eternal salvation through faith in Christ J { Jesus. J * In a Fourth of July address, President Coolidge emphasized the « J necessity of religious training as the only safeguard of our country and j I the only foundationatone in the training of good citizenship, lie said: , | "Another element must be secured in the training of citizenship, or all ♦ ! else will be in vain.. All our learning and science, our culture and our J ♦ arts, will be of little avail unless they are supported by high character, $ t unless there be honor, truth, and justice; unless our material resources ♦ • are supported by moral and spiritual resources, there is no foundation « of progress. A trained intelligence can do much, bul theie is no sub- ♦ !! stitute for morality, character, arid religious convictions. Unless these T abide American citizenship will be found unequal to its task.” 4 One must discriminate between instruction concerning religions T " subjects and religious education, the aim of which is to produce religious I men and women who, prompted and actuated by a sincere and living faith f In Christ Jesus, shape their ltves according to His Word, In Christian ! " education the heart, which means both sentiment and wi I, is central. ♦ Religious instruction, therefore, is given not for its intellectual value, t but chiefly that children may learn to know Christ and to believe in 4 " Him as their personal Savior, to lead Christian lives in the power of ♦ > such faith, and*to be saved for eternal glorification in Heaven by such ! faith. j We welcome anyone who may desire to grant their children the 4 J opportunity our Lutheran parochial school offers. ’ j I 4 REV.

teaching the young people of AdumH county. At leust thats our siuceru. wish. So far the electlou is anyone's battle. Neither Smith nor Hoover can claim election for the almpDe reason that so many millions of voters are on the fence undecided as to which way to jump. Never in our erperience have we talked with so many non-committal voters or those who frankly tell us they have not made up their minds how they will vote. A campaign blunder by 'either Hoover or Smith might turn the tide ovori night. In recent years elections have been decided months in advunce This year Is an exception. That means a real contest. So far Mr. Hoover has not shown the strength that Ills friends expected. His position today is just what his opponents in the cam palgn said it would be. On tfie other hand Smith has shown decided strength so far In communities where he was supposed to have HI tie support. It la plain to be seen that Republicans are not approaching the campaign with any great degree of confidence.—lndianapolis Commercial. ************* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * ************* Allies cross Hindenburg line taking Roye and seven villages.
