Another habit that we don’t believe we ever indulged in is that of crossing the Atlantic in a dirigible. a J — Adams county farmer—-your farm is worth less than half what it was eight years ago when the democrats went out of power. Mr. Hoover offers no relief. Mr. Smith does. You may choose. “The future security of Democratic government rests upon the obligation of parties; first, to ascertain the public will and after that to make it effective.’’ —Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Hear Albert Stump at Berne on the 26th at 7:30 in the evening. It will be his only political speech in this county this year. Mr. Stump is a fluent speaker and his message is one that every voter should hear. A cold snap is due, the weather man says and while it probably won't last long, its a reminder of what is coming soon and should be sufficient to make every one get ready for the winter. Fill up the fuel bins. The democratic cause was adv*aced in Adams county this week and dozens of voters have made up their minds to support the ticket. However there is much to be done yet and each and every captain is urged to keep at it for three weeks yet. Y)rop into democratic headquarters at Geneva, Berne or Decatur. Get literature on any subject in which you are interested in this campaign, report progress in your locality and help win a great victory. Adams county should give a 2,000 majority this year. Mrs. Clara Anderson of Geneva, democratic candidate for recorder is a splendid woman who for many years has made her own way, rearing her family and always taking her part in affairs of interest to the community. She is deserving of every vote this year. Senator Curtis, who told one of his audience out west the other day that “he was too d - dumb to understand’’ is still pounding away in an effort to keep the farmers from doing what they know they should do —vote for Smith —but no one seems to be paying much attention to him. Those Indianapolis ministers who are playing politics may find it a game that others can play. They might find sufficient to do in their own line and in building up their church instead of undermining the confidence of thousands who do not agree with them. There is one sure thing and that is that it cannot be claimed that the county democratic ticket this year was nominated by the "ring." That was the cry of those “outs who want in’’ for several years but they are not claiming it this year. Their only hope is to work on personalities and factions. Don't let them work vou. Adams county has spent more than a million dollafs the past eight years , in road building, a record which shows that we are progressive, that we believe in good highways and that we ought to take good care of them. As

r TODAY’S CHUCKLE Wabash, Ind Oct. 13—When C. D. Metzler found that a carelessly tossed cigarette had set fire to the ’• seat of his car he did not call fire- ’• men. Instead he drove to the fire * station where the blaze was extinguished. the season nears when roads are tuin 5 ed by hauling excessive loads ovei 1 them, these facts ought to be remem j berod. L IJll H.i OJU 1 The Literary Digest straw vote this week shows a gain of more than five per cent for Smith. The New York governor is gaining each day and with a brilliant finish to the campaign will win. The Chicago Tribune took a I thousand votes in Indianapolis and Smith leads by a small margin, which is a wonderful showing in that city. The trend is to Smith. Thirty-two dead from poison alcohol . in New York City the past few days and twice that many at the piont of death. It may be a "noble experiment" but its a dangerous one for those who become the examples. Regardles of who is elected president, certainly the time is near when something must be done to enforce the laws. The next three weeks of the campaign will be hotly contested according to all the dope at hand. Leaders of each side are fighting and will keep it up until the last vote is registered on the 6th of November. Keep cool, work as hard as you can for the principles in which you believe but remember that saying untruthful things or seeing how mean you can talk does not avail much in changing the minds of the voters. Frank Dailey continues to run like a scared deer and he is going to be hard to catch. Mr. Leslie will never do it throwing the harsh language at him he has been using and making charges that he cannot prove. Every body in Indiana and a lot of folks all over the United States know that Dailey is a fearless and honest fighter. He is just the man to place in the governor’s office the next four years for he will do what all folks want done —clean it up. The Adams county ticket — Ward for congress, Saunders for representative, Harlow for auditor, Nelson for prosecuting attorney, Roop for surveyor, Hollingsworth for sheriff, Mrs. Anderson for recorder, Ashbaucher for treasurer, Grandstaff for coroner and Shoemaker and Hoffman tor commissioner—deserves your hearty and entire support. Each is qualified, each is the nominee of the primary, each will serve you well. Vote for them in the coming election. Paul McNutt, one of Indiana’s favorite sons, was chosen at the San Antonia, Texas, convention to be national commander of the American Legion, an honor that every eligible man aspires to. Mr. McNutt is known by a number of Adams county people and he is admittedly one of the most capable young men of the state. He has for several years served as dean of the law school at Indiana University and when selected in 1925 was the youngest member of the I. U. faculty to have ever been named as a dean. He is a forceful speaker and as commander of the Legion will prove his leadership. We do not feel that religious ques ttons should ever be injected in a campaign but since it seems to be in this one, we again give you the position of Governor Smith, expressed in his own languagge and which we feel is honest and worthy: “I recognize no power in the institutions of my church to interfere with the operations of the Constitution ol . the United States or the enforcement I of the law of the land. I believe in absolute freedom of conscience for all men and in equality of all churches i al! sects, and all beliefs before th« ; law as a matter of right and not as 5 a matter of favor. I believe in th< - absolute separation of Church am s State and in the strict enforcemen s of the provision of the Coustltutloi

r ; that Congress shall make no law re- !, specting an establishment of religion !- or prohibiting the free exercise theree of. I believe that no tribunal of any church has any power to make any decree of any force in the law of the • land, other than to establish the ■ status of its own communicants with--3 in its own church. I believe in the ? support of the public school as one 1 of the corner stones of American • liberty. I believe in the of ■ every parent to choose whether his • child shall be educated in the public 3 school or in a religious school sup- : ported by those of his own faith. I > believe in the principle of noninterference by this country in the internal affairs of other nations and that we should stand steadfastly against ! any such interference by whomsoever it may be urged. And I believe in ’ the common brotherhood of man ’ under the common fatherhood of God. ' In this spirit I join with fellow Amer--1 leans of all creeds in a fervent prayer 1 that never again in this laud will any public servant be challenged because ! of the faith in which he has tried to 1 walk humbly with his God." o —— • BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO 55*¥¥¥¥¥***** K ; SATURDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—National Network 7 pm.

SALVATION ARMY AIDS SUFFERERS ’ The Salvation Army is now operati ing at ten great relief centers between I Jupiter and Deerfield, in hurricane- , torn Florida. Mr. H. Shafer, National Red Cross | representative, has notified Common-I der Evangeline Booth that the continuance of Salvation Army relief work is absolutely essential in helping to restore normal conditions. More than one hundred officers and aides are engaged in the work of directing relief distribution and large volunteer bodies of citizens are helping them. The Florida dea/h toll is now estimated at not less than twenty three hundred. Bodies in great decomposing masses are being buried in immense ditches cut out by steam shovels. Privation among women and children is especially severe and the army is directing it's attention in a special way toward the relief of those groups. Full control of the clothing distribution has been assumed by the Salvation Army at West Palm Beach, Jupiter. West Gate, Lake Worth, Pahoke.s, Green Acres, Riveria, Okeechobee, Ft. Lauderdale and Jacksonville, where relief centers are being maintained. A substantial contribution to the emergency needs of the distressed Floridans is that of the Central Territory Commissioner McMillan not only sent a donation of one thousand dollars immediately the news of the disaster reached Chicago, but also started shipments of clothing from Social Service institutional plants throughout the Territory. In Palm Beach County alone, more
