A number from here are planning to hear Frank O. Dailey at Fort Wayne tomorrow evening. Join the crowd. Just to get in training for your election bets you might place a few on the outcome of the world series which isn’t far off now. Tune in on Oklahoma City tonight and hear Governor Smith in one of the most important speeches of the campaign. It is expected he will give some attention to the whisperers. How many bootleggers do you know who will vote for Governor Smith? They don't want him elected for they know he will make an honest and real effort to enforce the laws. “Hoover s chances in Texas good." says a headline which reminds us of Senator Shepherd's recent remark. “Texas is doubtful, its doubtful whether it will go 250,000 or 300,000 for Smith.’’ Thats probably nearer the truth than the headline.

A Rev. Powell, of Pendleton, is a candidate for governor on an independent ticket and says he favors free school book law, a decisive primary, enforcement of law and believes the expenses of government too high. Just why he is in no one seems to know and his vote will probably show that few care a doggone. Governor Smith, the happy warrior is likewise a public speaker of no mean ability. Without manuscript and with a smile on his face he is fighting his battle for the presidency throughout the middle west. You may not agree with him but you can scarcely help admiring him for his honesty, ability and fearlessness. ’ If there is one single, sound reason why any farmer should vote for Mr. Hoover after he knows his past record we don't know what it is and there are many why he should vote for Smith, chief of which is that he promises openly and really means to aid the farmer if there is any way in the world to do it.

The cool breezes of the past couple of days are probably the stray winds from the recent terrific storms in the southeast part of this country and the West Indian Islands. In Washington and along the Atlantic seacoast from there south, the weather has been cold and the wind high. It is believed the worst of the storm is over. The Young Men’s Republican club of Fort Wayne is to meet next Monday evening it is announced and the program includes “several boxing matches and refreshments.’’ Now that ought to settle every question. If those who attend that meeting don't come out of it with a thorough knowledge of just what is necessary to save the country, it will probably be their own fault. Mill Senator Curtis discussing the farm relief problem closes his talk with the assertion that he believes the best way to do that is through the tariff which should be enough to convince the farmer that he is again to be joked. They have talked that to you now for seventy-five years and if you can figure out a single way in which

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Columbia, Mo., Sept. 20 —<U.R) — The Beta Theta Pi fraternity here has passed a ruling that no co-ed shall smoke while visiting the chapter house. it has benefited you, it is more than any of the G. O. P. politicians have been able to do. LU~ A supply of red fire torches was left over from Old Home Week and a number of the boys are already talking about a Calithumpian parade for Hallow'een. Its a dandy thing to do, brings a crowd and entertains them in a fine way. The more life there is in a community, the better it is for every one. By all means lets keep it going. It is really quite laughable how some of the propaganda spreaders of

the republican party consider the intelligence of the average voter of today. They are trying to make the laboring tnan believe that Governor Smith is wrong on his position on the immigration question and that he will thus interfere with laboring men. Quite the contrary, Mr. Smith does not favor increasing 'the number of immigrants admitted but merely a better basis of establishing quotos. The National G. A. R. convention is in session in Denver, Colorado this week with an attendance of 1,500. A few years ago these meetings were among the largest in the country but the membership is now depleted to such an extent that this may be the last event of its kind. The youngest veteran there is Major Mershon, S 3, of Winchester, Indiana, the “drum mer boy of Shiloh,” and the oldest is Fred Williams, 101, of Long Beach, California.

There are straw votes, most any kind you want, there is much talk of this and that including prohibition and religion, there are talks by various people and on various subjects supposed to be important in the campaign and perhaps are to some extent but after all at the election which comes six weeks from next Tuesday, the balance of power will be held by those voters who decide that one of the two leading candidates really intends more than the other to give to the people’of this country an administration of prosperity.

The balance left from Old Home Week should be a good starter for a real fund for the good of this community. We believe it would be wise to start trade days similar to those held a few years ago and to raise thereby each month a sufficient fund so that if an opportunity is presented we could act speedily. A few months ago Muncie secured a General Motors plant which will employ more than four thousnd inen because they had some $20,000 on hands with which to meet conditions. Think it over folks if you are really interested in making Decatur a better town. Its good now, don’t think we don’t believe that, but we can and should keep it going.

Perfect Health is always refreshing

If you arc tired—lack pep—ls your akin is not clear—if your appetite is “gone”—you owe it to yourself and friends to try S.S.S. Its tonic effects will surprise you. WHEN your system is filled with rich, red blood, you don’t have that tired, languid feeling when you awake in the morning. Instead, you feel refreshed; ready to meet the world! Your appetite is keen, you enjoy work or play. Your skin is clear —cheeks naturally rosy. All this because rich, red Hood is Nature’s substance for building and sustaining the body. Thousands have regained their strength and charm by taking a few bottles of S.S.S.—Nature’s own tonic for restoring the appetite—building strength—and clearing tho body of so-called skin troubles. You know a clear skin comes from within. Correct the cause — thru the blood—and pimples, boils, eczema and that sallow complexion will disappear. For more than 100 years S.S.S. has been giving relief in thousands
