The straw vote being taken by the Herald-Examiner now shows Smith several hundred ahead in the Indiana poll but they are still consoling themselves witn the idea that things must change between now and election. In one of the rural churches recently a card was read as a slam on other groups and bringing up politics, an act unwise as it was uncalled for. Theie is no argument in such things and they usually tend only to make the other side stronger. The United States treasury department is about a hundred mifflion dollars short and the tough part of it is that they anticipated a surplus. Looks as though some one had made a bobble and also looks bad for the income tax payers who are anticipating any further reduction. Because of the carelessness of an attendant at Riverside park, Indianapolis, one of the cars slipped off. killing one and injuring twenty. Os course the man is under arrest but chances are he will not get more than a stare and the others will go right on being careless, but after a!J just what can be done about it? It has been proven by scientists that there is nothing to the old belief that a man falling several thousand feet is dead before he reaches the ground, but he usually is about the time he hits the earth. Now theres a great truth no doubt but hardly worth the years of effort which have apparently been necessary. Sixty-four people were killed each day during the year ending July 31st or rather that was the average number of deaths, due to automobile accidents. Warnings seem to be useless for the average grows each year and the figures now given out exceed the numbers for death by appendicitis and typhoid fever combined. The straw vote in Lake county shows a decided trend to Smith who is leading now by 700 or a five per cent poll. At that rate the New' York governor will carry the county by 14,000 which is not so bad when you consider that it has been going from 20,000 to 25,000 republican. The G. O. P. leaders are frightened about results for county officials and-want to get rid of the voting machines. William G. McAdoo, four years ago a contender for the democratic nomination against Smith, and a radical dry, is out for the democratic ticket without any Mils .or excuses, which will make many folks think better of him than they have for some time. Os course at the same time it will probably cause those who were hoping he would bolt outright to declare that he wasn't of much force any way. Fred Wrecking, Bluffton attorney and well known here, was elected commander of the Indiana department of the American Legion at-the tenth annual meeting which closed at Lafayette yesterday. Mr. Wlecking is a capable and able young man who will fill the position with honor and with credit. Though several were seeking the place, Mr. Wiecking was elected finally without opposition, all other candidates withdrawing. Congratulations, Fred.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Grand Island. Neb., August 29 — (U.R) -When the janitor locked the door of a hank, he made the board, of directors prisoners. They were holding a night meeting and were locked up for two hours. National Chairman Raskeb predicts that Smith will be elected by the largest popular majority ever given any democratic candidate for president in this country and that he will have 309 of the electoral votes. That may sound foolish to some but we like the optimism displayed by the chairman. No battle was ever won when the fcddiers were feeding on gloom. and pessimism. It takes a leader who says here's what we are going to do, come on boys, and thats the leadership the democrats have now. John J. Raskob, national democratic chairman, is a teetoler who never takes a drink. He believes in temperance both as the head of a large family and as the employer of several hundred thousand men. He will work and fight for laws that can and will be enforced and will keep up his efforts to see that real enforcement is brought about. For those reasons he is devoting his time to electing the democratic ticket this year and his action is winning the approval of many others of the greatest men and women in America. Four years ago and eight years ago the republicans promised aid to the farmers of this country. They used tine sounding language and sold their ideas to the country. Twice the congress and senate have passed bills to do that and twice those bills were vetoed. It is quite possible that a number who voted for the measures would not have done so unles they felt sure the president would use his veto power. Any way some where along the line the people have been double-crossed and its hardly possible they will permit the smooth politicians tn sjin it over on them ngHin. Fred W. Anderson, whose retail merchandise store in Cozad, Nebraska, a town of 1,200, does an annual business of more than $300,000, is responsible for a most timely business epigram, “if you don't tell 'em, you can't sell ’em!” He gave it as a suggestion to national retail grocers in convention recently. He also declared that every grocer should spend at least two per cent of his gross receipts for advertising, stating thdt the success of his business depended largely upon a carefully planned advertising campaign. Which is good advice to grocers, but equally good to those engaged in all lines of mercantile business. From now on the plans and preparations for Old Home Week will move along rapidly. Every body connected with the organization will be good and busy for after all the real work must now be done —we must give the big show. Up to now it has been iargely planning but now comes the actual work. We hope every body enters into it and helps make it the great event desired. The decorations will be put up next week and a number will get ready to start on the following Monday. A caravan will leave here Tuesday morning covering various towns and cities in this community to further advertise the event. It will be bigger and better than claimed for it, so count on having the best time of your life. * * * * ********* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO • ************* French troops take forty villages and towns and advance six miles.

"I was taken down with lumbago sometime ago and have been trying ever since to find a medicine that would help me. The. pains in my back were so severe that I could not sleep or even move about the_ house. My kidneys, too, were in a very bad condition and I had to get up several times during the night. 1 «never enjoyed eating like other people because my stomach was sick and dlsi ordered and nearly everything I ate caused me a lot of misery. "Friends of mine insisted that 1 give Konjola a trial. At first I had no faith in this medicine, but now I want to say it actually put new life Into me. I was out o> bed and able 1 to walk around before the first bottle 1 was gone and three days later I went > back; to work feeling like a different : man. I kept right on taking Konjola L and now my stomach apd kidney troubles have also disappeared. 1 am I certainly glad I gave Konjola a trial.” Konjola is sold in Decatur. Ind., i at Smith. Yager Falk’s drug store, ■ and by all the best druggists in all ■ towns throughout this entire section.
