A Huntington man hid his watch and money in his wooden leg and the leg "busted.'' Thats a tough break. You are asked to contribute to the Red Cross fund that they may answer the appeal from ihe storm wrecked territories. This county has never failed to respond to such an appeal. Give if you can. Senator Curtis says the republicans will solve the farm relief question if successful at the polls in November. They have put that over twice now. Wonder it they can keep on getting away with it. Every citizen of this country joins in offering congratulations to Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who though he has passed his seventy-first birthday, is still able to laugh and to chuckle. He is famous for having held the two most important jobs in America, president and chief justice. With the autumn just starting why not resume the old Trade Days in Decatur? If in connection with it the merchants gave specials or dollar bargains or other reasons for trading here, every store would show an increase in receipts and we take it, thats what we all want. If the republican committee is paying for the page advertisements in the cities where Governor Smith speaks, asking him questions, wouldn’t it be fair for them to ask the same questions of Mr. Hoover? If the people are to decide, they should have the views of both candidates. One of the Omaha newspapers ran a page announcement last evening, asking Governor Smith several questions which he answered decisively amidst the roars of his audience. He is as advertised honest, able and fearless. He will speak in Oklahoma Citytomorrow night and in Denver Satur day night. Tune in and hear him. Mr. Leslie failed to mention Governor Jackson in his Home Coming speech and thats* too bad for no one in the state could tell a more interesting story than the late speaker of the house. He knows it all, just how the governor was put across and just what has gone on since. Why he even knows more about it than Tom Adams himself and Tom admits it. That Decatur has two mighty fine bands was demonstrated last week when the General Electric and the High School Juniors performed so splendidly and so patriotically. Each of these organizations can furnish splendid music and there are indications that they will be frequently called upon in the future. Any support that can be given them should be gladly and liberally proffered. We ate sure it will be. ■' ■' it l There, was some discussion at last nights meeting of the Old Home Week committee as to whether the recent event should be carried on from year to year but no definite action was taken. This will be taken up in due time by the Industrial Association. Os course an Old Home Week cannot be held each year but if there is sufficient demand, a fall festival or street fair similar to that held in other near-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Sydney, N. 8. W. Sept 19, —(U,R) —With a bid of a halfpenny, uttered jokingly, a boy was awarded a horse at an auction sale here. by cities could be given. It is worth your thought the next few months. The campaign is advancing, the big battle is on. Straw votes show many states in doubt, the malls are becoming heavy with literature of one kind and the stump speakers are busy and every where over this country are signs of the coming election. Its a fine thing for the nation that we discuss the great problems which con front us and it is important that we listen attentively and act with good common sense. There is no need to become excited, there is no reason to become bitter. After all the people will decide with the ballot. Thats the advantage of living in America and whatever the majority decides, every one will abide by. With only a few straggling bills out the Old Home Week general committee last evening allowed those filed and checks were sent out today. The big event is now history except for compilation of the final report which will be given as soon as possible. It is needless to say that the committee is deeply grateful for all who aided in giving the celebration, including those' who subscribed to the fund, those who assisted in the various features, those who bad charge of concessions, those who worked so faithfully on the sub-committees, those who helped to make the parades a success by taking part, the schools, lodges, churches, other organizations, those who patronized the occasion and in fact every body, large and small who in any way took part. After ail no event is a success unless It has the earnest cooperation of every one and Old Home Week certainly had it. Governor Al Smith made his first speech in the middle west, speaking at Omaha, last evening. He was given a wonderful ovation and as ala-ays, he spoke frankly and without trying to dodge. His theme was the agricultural problem and he ridiculed the administrations of the past eight years for having made no effort to correct conditions. He said the trouble has been that the farmer is buying in a protected market arid selling in an unprotected market, that bis dollar is worth but eighty cents and that there is away to correct it. “How long would any other industry stand up under such conditions as the farmer has had the past few years?" he asked. "So far as the tariff can aid the farmer,” said Governor Smith, "it is like an engine running without a belt, it just doesn’t do any thing. ” The governor is plain, emphatic, honest. He desires to help the people of this country and he will do it if elected. He is putting some pretty clear facts up to the voters in a manner that should win him support. —o *¥¥¥¥¥«■¥¥¥¥«* • BIG FEATURES • * OF RADIO * S¥¥¥¥¥¥¥V»«»K WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR —Network 7 pm.

All Worn Out by Stomach Trouble Says He Eats Anything Now, and • Has Pep and Health. People who are suffering from the pangs of stomach trouble and indigestion will be glad to read how Frank Baker, 625 Keasley St., South Bend, Ind., quickly overcame these agonizing afflictions. He writes as follows: “Since over a year ago, I have had a bad case of stomach trouble that just wore me out. I had sick spells that left me weak, dizzy and nervous. My appetite was very poor, and after meals the food would not digest, but felt like a rock in the pit of my stomach. I had burning pains in my stomach and would belch up hot, sour gases. I could not sleep at night even though I was all tired out. In the morning, I got up feeling weaker and worse than when I went to bed. I lost weight and had 1 no pep at all. The first and only relief came when I started taking Viuna. Almost at onse I began to get well. I took it regularly and soon felt like a different map. The bilious attacks and burning pains stopped, my appetite came back, and my digestion improved wonderfully. I can eat heartily again with no gas, and no rocklike sensation in my stomach. M.y nerves are steady, I sleep splendidly every night, and feel full of pep when I get up. Life sure looks different for me since I got back to health, and I’m mighty thankful to Viuna.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the' blood, clears the skin, reniores appe Ute ami digestion,and brings new strength and energy to tbe whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna. your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis,, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine Sold By CALLOW & KOHNE
