It may ar- ] rive any day now but it sure missed f fire at the time scheduled. ! t Three more weeks of the campaign. Most people understand the issues now and are ready to vote but there ( are still many details to be attended ( to. You should help at them. , ______. _____ . _ , The last two weeks of the campaign , will bring a number of speeches in < Adams county, so distributed that every voter so desiring will have the opportunity to hear the issues discussed. Frank Dailey doesn’t have to ans- 1 wer the charges being made by Mr. ' Leslie. Republican newspapers and thousands of friends and supporters 1 aie doing it for him and in most emphatic language. Harry Leslie is attacking the late Senator Ralston, thinking perhaps that he can’t answer him. He can’t but he has about a million friends in Indiana who can and who will by voting against Leslie on election day. Mr. Koover never voted until he was forty-three years old and it is claimed once made the statement, ‘‘l wouldn't walk across the street to vote for McKinley." Now he will travel clear across the continent to vote for himself. Looks as though both parties are making a frantic effort if they really feel they have the results "sewed up" as they are claiming. Truth is it will probably be won on election day. Thats why its important to have a real organization to get out the vote. Old I.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE London, Eng. Oct. 15—<U.R> — Women are losing their ability to sew because cigarette smokes injures their eyes, according to the Rev. P. J. Shaw. name. Purdue lost to Wisconsin but put up a good scrap aud will prove formidable foes before the season closes. Don C. Ward, democratic nominee for congress is a school teacher. He conducts school each day and for the past several years has made one or two speeches each evening. Plans to secure him for several more speeches in this county are being made. Just how a farmer who has had the toughest times of his life the past few years can vote for Mr. Hoover when all the evidence is that he is directly and indirectly opposed to any thing that will help them, is one of the problems that puzzles us. The sugar factory will open tomorrow for its annual campaign, giving employment to a large number and furnishing a home market for the crop of beets raised by hundreds of farmers. Its a fine institution and deserving of whatever support we can give. . _ Os course the stiaw votes now being taken by newspapers, ninety-nine per cent of them republican, will show a Hoover preferrment right up to election. They did it in 1916 and the betting was six to one on Hughes, but the results proved it was all propaganda or ignorance. George Shoemaker who is a candidate for county commissioner has served more than five years in that capacity. He is a careful, safe, economic and sensible man who does his work well regardless of the fact that the pay is very small. The job is important and we know that if Mr. Shoemaker is re-elected the business of the county will be well attended to. Governor Smith will be in Indianapolis next Saturday about noon and its j needless to add that a hundred thous- j and supporters will be there to greet him and to assure him that Indiana is going to fool the guessers and return a majority in his favor, regardless of precedent, whispers and the fact that they have three or four republican headquarters in Indianapolis all claiming authority. Summing up the political events pf the past week, about every writer conceded a trend to Smith. If he keeps it up three weeks the betting will favor him. His Louisville speech Saturday evening was the best he has delivered, stating his position on the tariff question and in his usual plain and understandable manner. Governor Smith is a safe man. He is for you. He believes prosperity should be passed around and if elected will devote his time to seeing that Jeffersonian government is restored to the people. We regret very deeply and sincerely that some churches have seen fit to take a part in politics. It will prove serious for them as well as for the country for some of the propaganda used is really disgusting. One organization offers a story, ’’The trail of the Tiger,” to those who will give as much as ten dollars, but they say nothing about Will Hays and the campaign scandals, nothing about Mr. Mellon and his fortune and how it was gained, nothing about the scandals in Pennsylvania, nothing about Indiana's muddle, nothing about the booze-rid-den cities of the country, nothing about non-enforcement of laws. Politics pure and simple and a lot of earnest Christians who do not approve of such methods will say so in plain language. Early Wooden Gutter! ' Tn the early days of American dwelling construction wooden rool gutters, called "dugouts" from the process of gouging, by which thej . were made, were widely used on Colo I nial homes.

MEN ARE MEN AGAIN IN NEW FASHION EDICT London. - (U.R> — Manly men to match the new order of billowy maids cf 1929 have been decreed by the National Federation of Merchant Tailors. Hardly was the Ink dry on the announcement of British modistes that skirts were coming down and cures were coming back, than the Tailors Federation meeting at Newcastle laid down the law that if women are going to be feminine once more, it is time for men to be men. This transformation is to be accomplished sartorially. Just byway of a right start they propose to go back to the time before the Brighter Clothes for Men movement started. The next year is to see the Quietly Dressed Man,—the strong silent man of fiction. The following general rules for the Manly Man of 1929 have been laid down by the Federation: \ The d< üble-breasted jacket remains fashionable. Trousers may remain comfortably loose. , Wear darker shades of blue, powde r blue, giays and browns. Dodge greens. Dodge yellow spats. Also blue and put pie ones. "There will be only one class of trade in which latitude will be allowed” declared the spokesman of the Federation, “and that will be in sports war. The plus-font suit may be anything from a red Harris through all the shades of brown to the natural drab, and fancy may rove where it likes in patterns of checks, diamonds of herringbones.” o—- ¥•**¥¥* ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ * THE * * CAMPAIGN * * LOG * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦ Herbert Hoover opened his Massachusetts campaign today with a visit to Boston where he will speak tonight.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings I under your eyes—pimples—a bilious look in your face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwrxds, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients jr years. Dr.Edwards’Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet al ways effective. They bringabout that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities.

A THREE DAYS’COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL

Coughs from colds may fead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take.
