WARD AT THE COURT HOUSE TONIGHT. Keep smiling and remember that in the long run it pays to remember that the other fellow lias a right to his opinion. We wonder what kind of a special order is necessary to permit the placing of Leslie pictures on the poles along the state highways. We understood that no kind of advertising could thus be used. Governor Smith will start on his second speaking tour soon. That will liven the campaign up considerably for when he quits the show takes a recess. The other fellows don't seem to be able to get much of a rise. Come up to democratic headquarters and tell us how we can arouse the interest of the voters and help win a great democratic victory next month The rooms are open day and night aid you are welcome. No difference whether you favor the Cards or the Yanks there is one feature to the world series you are sure to enjoy and thats the clever broadcasting of that ace of ail of them, McNamee, the man with the perfect voice. He does it well. Churches, lodges and schools belong to all the people and not to any group. These are not places to discuss politics or other matters on which the membership is divided. The less it happens the better for this community. The Yanks surprised the gamblers by taking the first game four to one and boosters for the American league feel now they have a chance though the odds were two to one against them a few days ago. Gamblers some times miss the dope and then other gamblers win. Just a month from today, November 6th, will occur the election. The next four weeks will be busy ones. Much will be done to side track you. We hope you think of the records made by the state and national administrations and show your disapproval of what they have done by voting the democratic ticket. Mr. Farmer: Valuations in farm lands so far as selling price is concerned. have declined more than two hundred per cent the past eight years. What is your own individual loss? Has the republican administration tried to save your property? These are questions that you should be seriously thinking about. Are you? Farmers of Adams county who can possibly do so should listen in on the radio Saturday evening at 7:30 central standard time, when Hon. Frank W. Murphy, of Minnesota, chairman of the legisuative committee of farm organization, will give an address on the subject "American Farmers Slake in the 1928 Election." It will be worth hearing. The rains are a little late to do much good. It is claimed that but a fifty per cent normal wheat crop has been sowed in Adams county because

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Vincennes, Ind., Oct. 5 —<U.R) — Evidently disguesied with daylight saviug the town clock went awry recently and at 11 p.m. struck 85 times. the ground is so hard that piowini has been impossible and where it wa the wheat couldn't possibly grow Not u very bright outlook for nex year Weather permitting the people o this community will see the first bt| air circus ever given here next Sun day. Plans for fifteen planes to b< here and take part have been niadi and much interest is being manifest ed. It looks as though a permanen airport will be established here nex year. We ought to have one. Ever; real good town does and we clain this is the best town of Its size ii America. Tonight at 7:30 o’clock at the cour house in this city will occur the open ing of the 1928 speaking campaign bj the Adams county democrats. Hon Dore B. Erwin will preside and speech es will be made by Hou. Don C. Ward of Union City, candidate foi congress and Hon. John M. Parker, of Louisana former governor of his state and a leader of the nation. We ask you tc attend and to listen to these talks You should post yourself on the real issues and the great issues of this campaign. A former Adams county woman writing to hjr parents, described in her own language the terrible liurri cane which recently swept Florida She says fifteen thousand people are homeless there, many of them ill and the suffering is intense. Through the Red Cross we are asked to send out quota of money to relieve them Surely we will do it. We are almost in sight of the $1,050 asked and we should make up the balance at once Its the least we can do under sucl circumstances surely.

Mr. Hoover promises to follow in the footsteps of President Coolidge if elected. Do you realize what that means to the farmers of the middle west? Do you business men and laboring men realize what it means to you unless something is done to relieve the agriculture situation? Mr. Smith promises to call together at once the leading farmers of the middle west for a conference as to what can and should be done and to follow their report. You may take your choice. We are told that in some parts of the state the road men employed by the state highway commission, police and others on the payroll of Indiana aie offering to bet money on Leslie. Looks like the old fashioned scheme but it won't go this year. The public is awake to the fact that as speaker of the Jackson legislature, Leslie is responsible for refusal to permit a committee to investigate the action of officials. He is part of the old gang and it will take more than the betting bluff to secure votes. We have had too much of the Jackson-Walb-Steph enson brand of government. Its time to change and the way to do it is to elect'Frank Dailey and the democratic state ticket. After ten years of Hoover do you want more? Hon. Gifford Pinchot, reptibLcan of Pennsylvania, said last spring: "I am against Mr. Hoover because of what I learned during my service under him in the food administration during the war. I do not believe he is a friend to farmers of any kind, whether livestock men, grain raisers or those engaged in mixed farmers.” Through the United States Grain Corporation Mr. Hoover held the price of wheat down to the minimum price instead of leaving it free as congress intended. The Independent Agricultural League is giving many reasons why farmers cannot afford to vote for Hoover. It should be of greatest interest to every one who owns or operates a farm. The middle west can scarcely stand four years more of the kind of times they

Hero of Palestine Arrives I ; ; V- ' jHH A * Tugs with sirens tied down and fireboats throwing huge waterspouts into the air marked the arrival in New York of Field Marshal Lord Allenby, hero of British Palestine campaign during World War, and Lady Allenby. They’re shown here eagerly peering at the skyline of lower Manhattan as the city's welcoming boat "Macom” bore them up the harbor.

have had the past eight years and there is no good reason why they should. It would surprise the average per son to know that each dozen of lead ing men of the country are joining the Smith column. In Wisconsin on one day. Thursday of this week, teu prominent Lafollette leaders came out for the democratic ticket. Included are Theodore Kronshage, former president of the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin; Dr. A. Gunderson, Lacrosse, chief of staff of the Lutheran hospital; George Nelson, floor leader of the assembly; Judge J. G. Gilbertson; Mayor Sullivan of Kaukanna. who was a delegate to the republican state central committee; Herman Sashtjen. speaker of the house in 1925; Frank W. Kubel, executive secretary to Governor Blaine: Judge Follenz of Foil du Lac and Mayor Hoff of Boscobel. Similar reports are coming from other states. J. Adam Bede of Minnesota, former congressman and a republican leader for forty years is out for Smith and thousands of others all over the country. If you do not realize there is a complete revolution of politics 011, it is time you did so. People are sick and tired of present conditions. o — Origin of Common Words Delirium cotnes from tlie Latin verb dellare, to rave; delirium tremens means a trembling delirium, ileplla tory means that which removes bail derived from pllus, a liuir.
