Down “thar" they don’t care for many of the G. O. P. ideas. Less than one hundred dollars had 1 been subscribed to the Red Cross 1 Florida relief fund in this county up * to Saturday evening.

There are many duties to attend to and something for every interested voter to do. Frank Dailey promises you with uplifted hand to give you all he has in ability and energy it elected governor. Thats a lot but he means it and if you will elect him he will write a four-year record that can be pointed to with pride by every Hoosier. We got cool weather that we didn't need and we tailed to get the rains we do need. Its getting late but at that many who had late corn out were hoping for another week of Indian summer or whatever it was we were having. K'.i. tiaa-ev This is annual street fair and old home week in' Bluffton and the program there arranged will attract one of the greatest crowds in the history of the organization which presents this big show to the people. The attractions are numerous and excellent. It certainly was worth all Old Home Week cost to get for this city

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Hammoud, lad , Sept 24.—(U.PJ— Stolen cars are no novelty but local thieves displayed originality by unbolting Paul Bornla'n portable garage and carling it away. and county all the favorable publicity 'that was received and we appreciate llt all. Such articles as those written 1 by the famous Mrs. Kate Mtluer-Rabb and by others surely are valuable for any community. A quartette of Columbus girls i played bridge in an airplane and the ' bidding was high of course You might as well get ready to listen to the returns from the world i series for no difference how important ; your business you probably won’t be able to resist it. Its mighty refreshing to have a , candidate for president discuss prob- ‘ lerns of utmost interest to the people in language that every one can underI stand. Usually they say nothing and say that in languageg that can be translated most any way you wish it. Governor Smith takes a stand and explains why. The recent storms in Florida have been disastrous. Some fifteen hundred are dead and thousands are homeless. The damage in dollars has been great and more than that it is a severe blow to those who have money invested there. The nation sympathizes and will extend every possible aid. “Throughout the United States there are great possible power sites. I view them as God-given resources of the country. 1 make the claim that their , development should accrue to the people themselves and that we should Itbt permit them to fall into private nands for private users of the energy." i —From the speech of Governor Al Smith, democratic candidate for presi- ' dent at Denver, Saturday night. i Those who listened in on Governor ’ Smith during his Saturday night speech from Denver were impressed with the idea that this man who has I teen charged with not having a suf- ( ficient knowledge of the great nation- ( al problems, understands them better than many who have devoted years to their special study and along with I that he believes absolutely in giving 1 the people a square deal. That he is , selling his ability to the country more and more as the campaign goes along ’ is admitted by fair political writers, j both republican and democratic. —— I Six weeks from tomorrow is election day and in the meantime the campaign will be made. There are ! serious issues in the campaign and we hope you do not permit the politicians to throw sand in your eyes. Surely the average person does not 1 believe that we should have four years more of the same brand of prosperity we have just passed through. Many will not be able to stand that. Governor Smith makes himrfelf clear on every question of public interest. He does not dodge, he explains and every explanation is one of sound reason and good common sense. We need that in this country and in large doses. o **¥¥¥¥**¥**«• * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO • **¥¥¥¥¥¥«•»•* -<U.R)Sept. 24.—Allied troops cross the Cerna and Vardar rivers in advance against the Bulgars.

What’s inside? THE woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red-“ Red Pepper Burns,” “The Song of the Cardinal,” “The Scarlet Letter”-made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn’t particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space. Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what's inside them. And when you buy a flashlight, a refrigerator, a radio-you want wiser than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what’s inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can’t tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements caul tell you. They point out the urderneatbness of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can’t see. The amount and strength of service to exepect of what you see. Not just a refrigerator-but how long the ice lasts in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. And not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It’s these unseen nows and futures that make a product worth its price. Read the advertisements. Then you can know a product to its center-to its last chapter of service-beforc you buy.

SAYS AIRPLANE RIDE UNABLE TO CURE DEAFNESS St. Louis, Sept. 24. (U.R> •• in ut ‘ terly illogical to expect that hearing by airplane dives, according to officials at the School of Medicine of Washington University here. A number of persons throughout the United States have resorted to such drastic procedure in recent months in the hope of restoring their hearing. "The ear is one of the most complex organs of the human body." said an expert in laryngology. "How complex is indicated by the fact that the spiral ligament In the labyrinth of the ear is composed of 24,000 fibers and the spiral ligament compared with the whole mechanism of hearing is as a screw to a dirigible. Hearing is impaired or destroyed only by the dent ruction of some material portion of this intricate mechanism. Once destroyed, no human agency cau restore that portion. "So, in effect, what one who plunges in an airplane is expecting is that something that is gone will be brought back. It would be as sensible for a onelegged man to plunge and expect, when he reached the ground, that he would have two legs. “Theie is only one exception. That is hysterical deafness. The treatment there is identical with treatment in general hysteria—heroic-sudden shock or fright. Hysterical deafness, however. is rare. It might be instantly cured by fright attending an airplane under stunts, just as it might be cured by housing the patient to great anger or scaring him out of l>is senses and into hearing by some other drastic procedure."

Ind Sept 24 — The seventyninth annual convention of the Indiana State Medical Association, which will be held at the Hotel Gary in this city September 26. 27. and 28. will be one of the outstanding scientific gatherings in the history of Indiana medicine judging from the detailed program made public today.
