Instead of the “back to the farm movement," the policy »f a lot of republican farmers, running on this "prosperity" program seems to be “I’ll give my farm ami all its income tor a county office." “Decatur offers more —because Decatur has more to offer,” is the slogan of the local merchants who invite you to trade here, visit their stores and be their guests on (lift day, Tuesday, December 4th. Candidate Hlover would lead you to believe that it is a crime and very much "socialistic" to help the American farmer. Still he wants the farmer to help elect him to office. This cooperation can work both ways and the farmer knows it. As Earl Crawford said in a speech a few days ago, "farmers go down in your pockets and if they are tilled 1 with cash you are entitled to vote the republican ticket.” On the other hand if you are not enjoying this platform of prosperity, vote for your own interests. Just when newspapers were beginning to prove to the sales manager that advertising helped to sell radios, automobiles, soap and even crackers. Candidate Hoover comes along and spoils the whole argument, by saying 1 that "republican prosperity" is re- i sponsible for all this business. Well. 1 what about this installment buying? The next big political event in Ad- 1 ams county will be the address by 1 the Hon. Albert Stump at Berne, Fri- 1 day evening. Hon. Don C. Ward of Union City, democratic candidate for i congress, will also speak and the program should attract a large crowd. 1 Both men are splendid speakers and will discuss tlie issues with you in a fair manner. Be sure to attend. Don ('. Ward will give three addresses in this county tonight, speaking at the Kinsey school in Blue Creek township at seven o'clock, at the Jefferson high school at 7:45 and at. the Linn Grove school at 8:30. Others on the programs will include Dan N. Erwin, John T. Kelley, Nathan Nelson anil Senator George Saunders of Bluffton. You are invited. Then in the heat of the campaign don't forget that Monday, November sth, the day before the election, is the last day to pay your fall installment of taxes, without the ten per cent, penalty being added. Better look after this important duty and if it's hard to scrape up the money, (that's a mistake), just remember that the big issue Is “prosperity,” meaning that your pockets should be full of money. Two of the principle political meetings to be held in Adams county during the campaign will be the one at Berne Friday night when Albert Stump, democratic candidate for United States senator and Don C. Ward, democratic candidate for Congress from the Eighth district will deliver addresses and the next meeting will be at Geneva, Wednesday, when Curtis Shake, of Vincennes, democratic candidate for Attorney General, will deliver an address. The public is invited to these meetings and the ability of the speakers on the program

I TODAY’S CHUCKLE Beloit. Wls. Oct. 24—(U.R>—Two apple trees on the farm of William Miller were struck by lightning and soon after, for the first time, bore ruit. assure those who will attend an able discussion of the issues. Young Mr. Cleveland Is one of the best public speakers ever heard here, uot an orator who tears all the feathers out of the eagle's tail but a speaker who argues fairly and honestly what he believes. He impressed the large audience which heard him and will be a welcome visitor to Decatur any time he can come. His talk to the members of the Lion's club was also well received and he made num erous friends during his short stay here. “It's too late for promises now," Is tlie title of a cartoon appearing in The Hoosier Farmer magazine, showing Candidate Hoover, holding the banner of Coolidge policies, significant of what the farmer will receive in the way of relief should Mr. Hoover be elected president. For eight years the republicans have promised to do something for the farmer and the admission that something should be done is shown in the planks adopted by their party in 1924 and again in 1928. Mr. Hoover still promises, but the question before the American farmer should be “does making an-! other promise fulfill a broken prom Ise?” • | So it's these piuk tea ladies who sit arouud the table ami puff a cigarette, who find fault with the charming 1 graces of Mrs. Alfred E. Smith, noble mother and devote wife, who through her married life has helped in the home and found thrill and excitement enough in watching the wonderful career of her distinguished husband. And it's these kind of women who try to make you believe that Mrs. Smith would be out of place in the White House. America is out of place if we let such snobbish argument influence the casting of a vote against a candidate for president, because his wife loves her family and joys in his success. The greatest crowd which ever packed the court room in this city listen ed an hour and a half to the able address given by Ri< hard Folsom Cleveland last evening. This young man. a graduate of Princeton and Harvard universities, recognized as one of the great lawyers of Baltimore, a studeut of economics and history, expressed his earnest belief in the,ability of Governor Alfred E. Smith and discussed iu plain language the important issues of this campaign. It was an outstanding political event and aroused the interest of every thinking person. Representatives from every township iu the county and from a number of surrounding cities attended the meeting and Mr. Cleveland was congratulated by hundreds of people. They talk about the increased vote which will be registered next month and of the interest shown by the voters in the present campaign, but howare you going to account for the fact that of the 19,000,000 post card ballots sent out by the Literary Digest, less than 3,000,000 have been returned and voted. The voter this year may be keeping to himself how he or she is going to vote and these republican newspaper claims that Hoover is assured of victory is bunk. No real expression from the voters has yet been obtained and from the crowds and enthusiasm shown Governor Smith, many writers agree that the swing is towards the New York governor. Many are waiting to make up their minds and through the able, fearless and courageous statements made by Governor Smith, thousands will decide in his favor. o Plymouth—(U.R>—The Northern In diaua Public School Superintendent ( Club will meet here Thursday and Friday November 8 and 9. The largest crowd ever to assemble for a meeting ot this kind is anticipated.

$50.00 per Acre For Your Vote I

(The following article was written by F. G. Snow, prominent farmer and hanker, of Kanka- I kee. HI., and published in the Kankakee I)aily News. Mr. Snow is well known in White county, Z where he owns a large tract of land. Mr. Snow is a Republican, but this year he’s going to vote B his interests instead of his partisanship.) |

Mi. Farmer, in pre-war days every acre of good land in this vicinity was worth from 25 to 75 dollars per acre more than it is worth today, and for what reason? The farmer is now paying a tariff-protected price for nearly everything he buys and, because of a small surplus, is compelled to sell what he produces at i rices unprotected by tariff, for the tariff on farm products is absolutely ineffective because of the surplus. Nearly four years ago Mr. Coolidge was elected president by the Republican party upon a platform containing a strong farm • | aid plank:—Since his election he has done nothing to relieve the depressed agricultural conditions, but has twice vetoed the farm-aid McNary-Haugen bill which was backed by a united agriculture and twice approved by a congress composed of both Democrats and 1 Republicans. Farmers then took their troubles to the Republican national convention at Kansas City which was composed of delegates selected by the Republican party under the direc- ! tion of Andrew Mellon, millionaire head of the aluminum trust and driver of the Republican steam roller and with plenty of good jobs to offer, where the farmers who in the main have for forty years willingly paid a protective tariff, were given to understand that an effective tariff was not meant for them. They were literally kicked out of the party and trampled into the very dirt that grows their food. Then their arch enemy, Sir Herbert Hoover, the very man who was responsible for the maintenance of fixed prices on wheat and hogs, so that they could not exceed a certain price during the war (but who did not maintain a fixed price on coal) was selected to lead the party ticket to be voted on November next. It would appear that Sir Herbert Hoover may be depended on

DR. ROBINSON BROADCASTS. BUT MARS REMAINS SILENT (COMTINI’KI* FKOM I’AGK OMB) ~ Mars affair,” she told newspapermen. “I have refused to have the experiments conducted in this house while I remain in It. I don't know whether , anyone encouraged my husband, but there will be no more of that foolishness In this house.” ('onaruru, the "girl with the big ears and the sweet face" who according to Robinson, guided his ethereal body on Its last trip to Mars, sent him the folI wiug telepathic messages, he said: "Mars received neither message. Do not attempt to use the Rugby station again, but make the next attempt in ‘ America. Now go home to bed. but t do uot be downhearted. You have doue • enough-for today." Eight minutes after Robinson's two ■ messages—" Love to Mars from Earth” and “God is Love"- went crackling across the ether. Prof. A. M. Low, well , known scientist, received an utuleciph- , enable message in telegraphic code ov- , er his radio. Lew had invited a United Press cor- , respondent and several friends to wait at his home in an attempt to pick up - an answer to Robinson's messages. < "It was a very mysterious” Low said . "It is hardly likely that it could have been from Mars, however, I must con- • fess I do not know who sent it. I The small staff that was at the Central telegraph paid little attention to Robinson as his first message started on its 35.000,000 mile journey to Mars SUP BAB BREATH People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards’Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all i who know them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of tlie bad after effects. Olive Tablets bring no griping, pain or any disagreeable effects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after 20 years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, withtheattendant badbreath. Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take nightly for a week and note the effect. 15c, 30c, 60c. All Druggists.

ut 2:19 A. M Post office officials sabi it waa merely a routime measage, from which they were collecting 26 cents a word. The belief or disbelief of the pust office in the feasibility of communicating with Mars was not involved, they said. Robinson's first message "Love to Mats from Earth” was punched on tape aud handed to Hfaicy who Inserted it in tlie automatic transmitter which operates l»y relay with the Rugby loud speaker. At a nearby table sat an operator whose radio was linked up with the] St. Albans receiving station. He was prepared to record everythiug that came in over the specified wave length but nothing came.

I have always been a Repub- B lican, but it looks to me that if the farmers B support Hoover at the November election B that thoy will leave hope behind, for if the B Republican party can, in the face of their B shameful treatment of agriculture, get away B with it this time, they always can. B Ido not care w’hether you are a Catholic B or a Protestant, wet or dry, the fact still re- B mains that the steady confiscation of farm I lands is still going on and to an alarming ex- ■ tent; and because the conditions which are ■ causing it are absolutely political and no ■ fault of the farmers as a whole, excepting ■ their votes, I claim that a vote against Hooy- ■ er is a vote for a $50.00 average increase m I the price of their land, and a chance for a re- ■ turn of a fair measure of prosperity for ten- ■ ant farmers as well. I Mr. Merchant, in the small cities and vil- I lages, you are as much a farmer’ as the ma* I who works the land, your prosperity I wholly upon the farmer. If you read 11. g Democratic platform adopted at the H° u ® I ton convention, you will see that the Dem | crats no longer desire a tariff for reve J l ■ only, but favor the continuation of a P ro | five tariff with adjustments where they a | needed and they also adopted a farm P a | so favorable to agriculture that if we ge 0 I half of it we ought to be greatly beneti • I lam a farmer, and an officer in a cOl - 1 .
