No good can come from a political victory won by malicious whispering. Its a wrong way to build. Mr. Hoover is particularly fond of peanuts, it is announced. Which kind human or the other variety? -m Democratic headquarters are open. Come up and talk over the campaign and offer such suggestions as you feel will bring a victory for the people in November. Decatur merchants and manufacturers financed Old Home Week. They did it gladly and willingly to provide for patrons a gay time. If you enjoyed it the finest way to repay them is to patronize them. It would be interesting if Mr. Curtis, who is republican candidate for vicepresident would explain to the people of Indiana while he is here his part in the Reed-Curtis bill regulating parochial schools and whether or not he expects to force it through if elected. Seldom are events the size of the one here last week held without a single accident of any kind and seldom will you see such splendid order as was maintained here. These are good advertisements for the community. Porto Rico and other east coast islands as well as large areas in Florida have suffered again from hurricanes. Thousands are homeless and in need and the local Red Cross has been asked to contribute to the fund which will relieve those in want. Needless to say old Adams county will do her full share as she always has. The special services which were held in the various churches of this ; community opening and closing Old Home Week were most fitting. After all its the sentiment which makes such events live long in the memory of those who attend them, rather than the thrillers on the progrgam. It was splendid that the churches thus added these programs to the others. - This is constitutional week and a - good time to remember that the great - document guarantees personal liberty, property right and religious freedom. ' Because we have stuck to that always, this is the greatest country on “ the face of the earth. It will so continue unless we ruin it by over riding the constitution as we have some of that statutes. They are claiming now that Governor Smith spent too much money in New York. That depends on what he bought with it and evidently the people there are perfectly willing that he shall shop for them since they who should know all about it better than any one have returned him to power time and again. The rabies epidemic in Indiana continues unabated and so many cases have been reported from Marion county that authorities have ordered every dog kept on the premises of the owners for sixty days. If they get out the police are ordered to kill them regardless of price or standing of the earners. Fifty-five per cent of all the cases reported to the state the past

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Laketon, Ind., Sept 18 —<U.R) — When the citizens cut a channel to lower Mud Lake, all of the water coursed out unexpectedly. Now Mud Lake is what its name implies. few months have come from that county. The general committee for Old Home Week will meet this evening to check the bills and ascertain just how things stand. While every effort was made to keep within the amount of cash raised there were many unexpected expenses necessary during the week and It will take a final report to determine just how the organization came out financially. The complete report will be made as soon as possible. The democratic county ticket is composed of fine citizens who won upon their merit in a fairly conducted campaign. They deserve the earnest support of the citizens and of democrats in particular. Thats a part of your agreement when you vote in a primary—that you will vote for the winners. There are many reasons why you should do this, the greatest of which is the ability and integrity of those on the ticket There is no good reason why you should not. R. A. Drummond, eighty-seven-year old veteran, here, took his first airplane ride Sunday and liked it fine. Os course he got a thrill much the same as he did from his first automobile ride and he is anxious to fly again. In a few years most of us will think no more of hopping into a plane than we do now of getting in a car or boarding a train, much as you may shake your head and think otherwise. Its a much speedier means of travel than any other we have and the older the world grows, the more speed demanded. The republican press and the great political machine back of it are now using every thing they have to influence the voters. If you will permit it they will fill your eyes so full of dust that you won't be able to see the rooster on election day. It seems that most of us should have had enough of the old bunk and that we would be sensible enough to vote our own interests but they are making a desperate effort to get by again. Its up to you voters to decide whether you will let them do it or not. Governor Smith will make his salutatory address in the west tonight, speaking at Omaha. Millions will listen to him over the radios and this is one of the important events of the campaign. If the governor can sell himself and his ideas to the middle west farmers, he will be elected president of the United States for there is a most decided trend towards him in almost every large city. If to this can be added a comfortable share of farm votes, the result will be a landslide. Farmers have fought an uphill game for eight years now. Many agricultural leaders are convinced their outlook will not improve if Mr. Hoover is elected. If Governor Smith has a solution to their problem he will no doubt win thousands of votes.
