There is one advantage in making a political speech over the radio and one that this year may be quite important and that is that if the crowd heckles the speaker, he doesn't hear it, know it or care a doggone. An hour after Senator Curtis landed in New York City he claimed the state for Mr. Hoover, which is rather fast work. There are quite a number of smait men who have lived there all their lives who can't just determine how it will come out? This is your last week to get ready for the Ing occasion—Old Home Week opens next Monday and there is much to be done yet. Lets put it over so that it will be remembered for years as a happy event. Fewer campaign speeches, more radio talks and newspaper publicity is the political program for the campaign, which is good sense. The candidates will reach more voters that way and their message will receive more thought. The golfers will have to do their own caddying now excel* on Saturdays or Sundays or wait for a late’afternoon round. With the opening of school the boys who have been carrying the club bags and keeping tbeir eyes on the little pill, will be otherwise engaged.

Babe Ruth refused to have bis picture taken with Mr. Hoover and caused much talk, almost as much as if he had. After all Ruth has the right to have his own political ideas and if he felt such a picture would be used in manner he did not desire, he was perfectly right in saying so. Indianapolis likes daylight saving time so little that the city council has decided to end it the last of this mouth instead of carrying it on until the last of October as originally put ” over. The worst part about it is the constant confusion. If the folks in Indiana want it there should be a state law to regulate it so that the folks in one town will know what time it is in some other.

Its good news for relatives, friends aud millions of boosters who feared that two more brave men had given their lives to the interest of plane exploring. Another sad week and with a dozen or two serious automobile accidents in this section of the state. One in this county in which five were injured was caused by a collision at a corner hidden by the high corn. It pays to • drive carefully aud for the next few weeks the corn corneas should be watched. Whats the difference if it does take a few minutes longer to get to where you are going if .you get there whole instead of broken up? Schools opened this morning and now the youngsters are in for nine months of happiness. R used to be that the average boy or girl thought school a drag but now they are-really

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 4. —<U.R) —Three names in three days for Mrs. Edith Klenke-Robinsou-Hpaiild Ing. Winning a divorce from Elliott Robinson she had her maiden name of Klenke restored. Then she married L. J. Spaulding. anxious to go for there Is so much of interest. We Inquired of a dozen or two children whether they were sorry school was to open and in each instance received the reply ‘'no, we are glad, we would rather go to school than not.” Thats a condition which assures real men and women after a while. Straus Brothers of Fort Wayne report the sale of more than $300,00(1 worth of farms since July Ist and for cash, which is a good sign. It is their best showing in seven years and there is an indication that values on farm lands have started an upward trend. Surely we have struck the bottom and those who wish to take advantage of the bargains should buy quickly. It will soon be too late to secure farms for less than the improvements are worth, and the sooner that comes the better for every one. John Coolidge steps out for himself as many another young man has done and he does it in the same way that most "fellers'' do, starts his life journey by a trip to Hartford, Connecticut, to see his “girl.” John will probably get along alright if he is let alone for he seems to be a real Am erican boy with a lot of good sense, an education, some financial backing and aided by the reputation of his father, the president, he should manage to make it. Others have without nearly so good a chance.

From the way the newspapers of Indiana, republican, independent and democratic are eulogizing the speech of Frank C. Dailey, democratic candidate for governor, that part of the election is just about settled. They agree, and even such papers as the Indianapolis News aud Indianapolis Times have joined the throng, that Mr. Dailey has the character, ability and desire to clean up Indiana and there is no doubt we need it. A vote for Frank Dailey will be your share tow-ards making this a better state in which to live ami while voting for him remember that he should have with him the other state officers, especially those who become members of the various boards with him, such as secretary of state, auditor aud treasurer. Don't tie his hands by electing him aud then leaving him helpless to operate. A Washington correspondent has figured it all out with his little lead pencil, that Indiana caa't possibly go democratic because it has done so but four times out of eighteen. However it came awfully close to it several times, including two years ago. We doubt if there was ever a time in the history of Indiana when its people ■were so utterly disgusted with its government and there is sufficient doubt as to how it will come out this year that there are three republican headquarters operating in Indianapolis and its a case of every candidate for himself. It may not go democratic, but don't you bet a red cent on that unless you have money to throw away. Just now its a toss up. with Dailey's election apparently assured and the fight for the electors in the air.

***¥¥¥¥*¥¥«¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO • «*¥¥¥¥¥¥***** SEPTEMBER 4, 1918. Haig's armies still sweeping forward capture 16,090 men and liberates many towns. The German troops are In flight, from the Scarpe to the Somme, and are quitting before fierce Britsh assaults. Mangin is driving ahead, smashing through German lines north of Soissous. 0 Old Custom Kept Up A quaint ceremony was carried oot at Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England, a few days ago. A choir boy stood on his head during the reading of the will of Edward Wilkes, a Seventeenth century London merchant, who bequeathed land to the town on condition that this procedure be followed In connection with the annual beating of the boundaries.

(ANOTHER LITTER HITS TON MARK The second Utter to go over the top In the Hoosier Ton litter club in Adams county was weighed up on Monday morning, September 3. The honor for producing this litter goes to Preston H. Zehr. prominent young farmer of Hartford township. The litter, as weighed up by the committee composed of Amos Kirchhot'er. Joe Zehr, and the county agent, weighed 2,094 pounds on the 180th day. Mr. Zehr is to be congrateulated on the tine record he has made with his litter of nine purebred Duroes. This is the heaviest litter that has been weighed up so far this year although there are several litters that will probably exceed this record. Adams county has led the state for the last three years in ton litter work and no doubt before the season is over this county will lie on top again this year. The smallest pig in the Utter weighed 218 pounds and the largest one weighed 253 pounds making an average of 232.* pounds per pigs. Tills is considered a very good average for spring pigs at six months of age. Mr. Zehr's litter was of very fine quality, all the pigs being very even and carrying a great amount of finish. As soon as the pigs were old enough to eat Mr. Zehr made a creep for the pigs so that they could learn to eat well before the pigs were weaned. After the pigs were weaned Mr.- Zehr fed shelled corn and tankage in a self feeder. In addition he fed u slop of ground oats and wheat, soybean or oilmeal mixed with water and some skim milk. The slop was fed in limited quantities as Mr. Zehr was very desirous of having the pigs eat as much out of the self feeder as possible. Mr. Zehr likes a self feeder very well as it saves times and allows the pigs to balance their own ration. Mineral was kept before the pigs at all times. Mr. Zehr practiced the McClean county system of swine sanitation on these hogs as much as possible. They were kept on clean ground at all times, having access to blue grass pasture. Sleeping quarters were kept clean and properly disinfected at all times. Asked whether he thought it paid to full feed hogs for the early market. Mr. Zehr replied, "my records show that I will make a neat profit on this Utter. I am going to get a nice premium for this Utter when I sell them, and besides I will save feed and time in the long run.” — o MANY COMING FOR DAIRY DAY That Dairy Day Wednesday Sept.. 12 wil be a success is being-evidenced by the number of acceptances which are coining in now. Several hundred people interested in the dairy business, including creamery men, representatives of the railways and brokerage houses and agricultural men and women from the leading schools will be here. A message this morning said that more than 500 people will be in the Spencerville, Ohio, delegation, with three decorated trucks aud many cars bringing a band. There will be 150 from Berne, thirty from Covington, 0., and large delegations from points with in a tadious of a hundred miles in every direction. Everything is complete tor th eevent, which will be one of the high spots of Old Home Week. o Forty-Pound Catfish Refuses To Be Caught Greencastle, Ind., Sept. 4.— (INS) — Sound the rallying cry for all Hoosier anglers, here's a 40-pouud fish that refuses to be caught. Tales of a huge catfish which infests the waters just above Owen Park is the lure that is drawing many fishermen to the paik. Two anglers thus far have hooked the big cat fish but in each case the big cat fish got away. One of the fishermen got the fish within a few feet of the bank when it flipped away sudden ly and broke away. Since then the fish has become wary, it is reported, and t efuses to succumb to the lure cf succulent bait. Eugene Chenoweth and Morris Rigbtsell caught a four pound channel catfish at the Park. 0 , Streets to Be Colored Red, brown, yellow and green streets are Just around the corner. Experiments have been completed that show just how to secure uniform shading by mixing color with cement. Some communities already have laid colored streets.
