The state highway commission can please this county further by taking over the east and west road now. They have promised it all summer, in fact for several summers and we feel they ought to make good on it. The weather Tuesday night was according to the Fort Wayne weather bureau station, the coldest ever recorded there during the month of September. There was a heavy frost which perhaps fixed the melon and garden crops. Tom Deshone, of Elkhart, was cured of the liquor habit by a term in prison and yesterday appeared before Judge Slick of the federal court to ask that his son. Terrace, be given a similar dose with the hope that he may likewise lose his taste. The judge accommodated the father. Mr. Wile, of Washington, D. C., speaking over the radio in bis regular Wednesday night recapitulation of political events of the day, last evening declared that the presidential lace is a close one and that Governor Smith has made big strides the past week.

These are the bright blue days of October of which the poets have written for several hundred years. The recent frosts will color the leaves and the next few weeks will prove delightful for those who enjoy rolling through the country when the scenery is most beautiful. Governor Smith will speak at St. Paul tonight some time between eight and ten o'clock. According to information direct from the New York democratic head<tuarters, it will be at nine but there have been so many mix-ups in the announcements as to the exact time that we are almost afraid to make a definite statement as to the hour. They are telling some big yarns these days about both Governor Smith and Mr. Hoover and we don't believe any of them. These men have risen to their present high positions of trust, because of their decency as well as their ability and it is just as well to admit it. What the voters desire to know is what can and will be done to benefit the country the next four years.

The meeting to be held at the court room Friday evening, October sth. marking the opening of the democratic campaign in Adams county, will be entertaiaing as well as interesting. Hon. D B. Erwin will preside and there will be speei hes by Don C. Ward, of Union City, democratic candidate for congress and by Hon. John M. Parker, former governor of Louisana anu one or the nig men of the American platform.

There is one sure thing—the farmers of the middle west cannot do worse than they have been doing the past seven years. Not only have prices been almost at low ebb but farm values have dropped to that

All this balderdash that is now going the rounds of the high-up society that Mrs. Smith would not properly grace the White House makes us sick. Mrs. Smith is an old fashioned mother, one of those kind who has raised a family, kept pace with her ever growing husband in every way and will grace the White House as she has the New York state mansion and no one has ever heard a single word of complain that she has not taken care of her part as the wife of the chief executive.

If there is any reason why the people of Indiana should desire to "keep the republican administration in power" we would like to know it. They have violated every trust, disgraced the people of the state and their own party, caused divisions and difficulties and have plead guilty. Mr. Leslie, the nominee for governor has been a part of the gang and when Hoosier voters have the opportunity to clean house with a man like Frank C. Dailey, we are sure they will not overlook It. The state highway commission will receive bids October 2nd for the construction of a three hundred foot bridge over the Wabash river between Berne and Geneva on road No. 27. That's a very sensible thing to do for the bridge can be completed so that when the road is extended tliat way, the usual after delay of a whole summer season will not be necessary. We have never understood why the bridges and the road could not be built at the same time. Anyway its a dandy improvement" and Adams county appreciates it. We had an hour's talk with Patrick

O'Hay yesterday. You ought to know Pat. He has had a hundred times more experience in the past twentyfive years than most of us would have in seventy-five years. He was a soldier and a good one. He served with Colonel Roosevelt in Cuba and then became a captain in the regular army. He has traveled around the world and is now recognised as one of the best lecturers in America. He knows both Governor Smith and Secretary Hoover, knows them well and is strong for Al because he is human and wise and sensible and the greatest man for all the people since the days of Lincoln.

The republicans are calling out the cabinet. They will make speeches for Mr. Hoover who seems to be handicapped by the fact that it takes him from two to three weeks to’prepare an address and then the people don't seem to appreciate it. They have decided to continue the campaign on the platform that “the people want the republican administration to continue in power.” That may be alright but if they do we hope they quit complaining about times on the farm, in the shops and elsewhere. The cabinet members are supposed to be government employes and of course they are drawing pay from all of us while campaigning. It's not usual but that fact don't make it right.

TREASURE LIES BURIED IN BED OF 'BIC MUDDY' — Kansas City, Mo., Sept. -• (U.RI Treasure troves of the Carribbean have long held the fancy of the adventurer who dreams of retrieving treasure of pieces of eight from casks in the coves of isolated and forgotten isles. The Missouii river, commonly referred to as the Big Muddy, now is iffering a similar attraction. Known treasure to the amount ol $65,01*0 lies buried In the slimy mud of the river lied of the Missouri under he A-S-D bridge at Kansas City. It is said that the river bed is paved witli coins — quarters, dimes and n ickels. Three years ago a war was instituted against slot machines by Judge M. J. Kilroy. The regular procedure was to throw the confiscated gambling devices into the Missouri from the bridge. Jack Rieger, clerk of the North Municipal court, says that he has dumped about 300 machines into the river. The value of these machines range from $135 to $250 each and the total worth is estimated at $60,000. The value of these machines is increased by their contents when thrown into the river. The smallest denomination that can be used in the machines is a nickel. The smallest machine contains about $lO. It is estimated that the total cash contents is $5,000. During the three years that the slot machines have laid on the floor of the rive;, it is possible that many oi them have rusted and fallen apart loosening their treasure to pave the bed of the stream under the bridge. Chief of Police Lincoln R. Toyne I recentty has inaugurated a cleanup campaign on the slot machines to clear them from places frequented by I school children. Many of the stu- | dents, it is charged Squander their lunch and carfare money on the chance and have to go hungry and walk home. The river bed will gei more treasure as a result.
