RADIO RESULTS:— Tlie recent political campaign was diffeient than others because much of the speaking was done by radio, sending tile messages to millions instead of to the comparatively few which heretofore had gathered in a hall to listen to the orators. The following figures regarding the radio campaign, its costs and its results are of interest: Time used in nation-wide hookups, 50 hours to a side. Stations bloadeasting Smith’s acceptance speech, 115. a record number. Stations broadcasting Hoover’s acceptance speech, 107. Average price an hour, about $7.500. Democratic appropriation for radio, $600,000; spent, nearly $650,000. Republican appropriation for radio. $100,000; believed to have spent practically as much as the Democrats. Total radio expenditures of both . parties, including local short broadcasting. estimated at $2,000,000. Replies from listeners: Democratic. 250.000 letters. 10.000 telegrams, $600,000 in cash contributions. Republican, 100,000 letters and heavy contributions. Cliff Siniff. highway superintendent of Allen county, will inaugurate what he calls a patrol system in place of the old plan for superintending the macadam and gravel roads. Instead of forty assistants he will have but :ißie, who will devote their full time to the work. Mr. Siniff says the maintainence work in that county can thus be done for one-fifth of the previous cost and, with better results. Similar plans are now in use lit Elkhart and St. Joseph counties and has the commendation of expert road men. To meet the requirements the department will be entirely motorized and eight maintainers of heavy type have been ordered. The experiment will no doubt be watched with interest by other counties of this section. Annual memorial services in memory of departed brothers will be held tomorrow at the Elks home and the public is invited to attend. It is a beautiful service and a custom that should never be abandoned, a few bouts devoted to remembrance of those who walked aioi talked with us in life, who had the same ambitions and the same desires. A program of music with addresses by Frank Hogan of Fort Wayne and John H. Carmody of this city has been arranged. Otto Fifield, new secretary of state, started his job off with a little house cleaning. He assumed office today but yesterday notified fifteen girls in the automobile license department that they were through. He probably has some friends who can the salaries and it is likely that a number of others in the service will be looking for jobs soon. Tough break just before Christmas, but not unexpected by tnose who bold political berths. The state highway commission has secured the right-of ways for route 67 between Portland and Muncie and when this road is completed next year as now proposed, the mileage between Decatur and Indianapolis will be shortened some fourteen miles. Figure what that will save the motorist and you will agree that the commission is light in trying to save mileage wherever they can.

i— P TODAY’S CHUCKLE London Dec. 1 —<U.R>— Astronomical influence was the explanation by a mother of why her 16-year ’• old son appeared In court charged ’• | with stealing. The mother told the L court that when the moon changed I her son changed and "went wrong.” > President Coolidge will Insist on ) the passage of u farm relief bill at the ■ session of congress which convenes * next Monday. He feels that the pres- > I ent congress understands the matter 1 better than the new one will and that with the equalization fee out by agreement, a safer law can be enacted now than later. Let 'er come. It I can't be any worse than now and may be an improvement. The death of two pioneers of this community were recorded yesterday, Dr D. G. M. Trout and Jacob Railing. Dr. Trout was eighty-two years old and was born and spent his entire life here. Mr. Railing was a veteran -of the Civil war and came to this countyin 1853. Both men were well known and had in various ways contributed to the growth of the community. • The Chicago school city is short some twelve million dollars and they are fearful that the schools will have to be closed. The money has been misappropriated or misspent it is claimed during several administrations which doesn’t help the tax payers or the school patrons any. — A man named Kelly confessed to the police that he thrust Miss Alfred.' Knaak into a furnace at take Bluff. Illinois, and also that he killed a woman at Lake Forest, Illinois, but the police are as stubborn as he has been and refuse to believe him. ' 38?. "Hump" McManus who has been charged with the murder of Arnold Rothstein, New York millionaire, supposed to have been the head of an underworld gang, looks from his pictures, as though he could do such a job without shedding maijy tears. The crowds which greet Mr. Hoover may mean much or little. It will be remembered that Governor Smith in the campaign had the greatest crowds whichaever assembled 0 but ■ evidently it didn't mean much as regards results on electino day. An airplane is being built in Germany which can settle on the water when necessary, thus making it much safer and easier for the movie aspirants who feel they must fly across before they can enter Hollywood. Don’t overlook the fact that the Christmas clubs for 1929 open next week and a dollar or so or even a dime or two saved each week will provide a fund for next year’s shopping that will make it easy for those who join. More money will be spent in the Santa Clause campaign than was circulated by the Hoover and Smith committees but there will not be as many speeches or as much opposition. Monday will be a fine day to start shopping for Christmas. Join a savings club. o «««¥***?**«•« * TWENTY YEARS AGO • * From the Dally Democrat File • * Twenty Yeare Ago Today • ««****«»****•* Dec.

Ervin, a retired 1 engineer of 418 Wheatland avenue, Lofeansport, Indiana. Read the glad t words of this man, happy in new and t glorious health. ' J feel like a different person, 1| thanks to the miraculous Konjola. ! which gave me health after I suffered ■! wit hout any relief, for years from - kidney trouble, gastritis, indigestion, and neuritis. Pain in my back prevented me from bending over; I had e to get up many times every night; i food would not digest, and pains, gas and bloating followed every meals | however light. Neuritis shot through r my body, causing intense agony. i- “Indorsements of Konjola 1 read in s the papers led me to try this wonderful medicine, and the results astoundd ed me. Within three weeks, my ailt merits and trains vanished as if swept away. I can eat anything, my ’ kidneys function normally and, best s of all, I am free from neuritis.

FISH AND GAME REPORT MADE ludianupolia. iml., Dm l-(Spe<l»D The 1928 annual report of the ftidi and game division just Dietl with the state eonservutiou oommission. shows Its most useful year In rendering public service In manifold ways the division proceeded to build up a public estate, protect wild and aquatic life to improve hunting and fishing, ami w< rked to augment wild life resources to a degree never before attained in this state, declares Richard Lieber, department director. Number of arrests and number of licenses issued during ten years past tire given on comparative basis. Fish plants by the milions are liste<i by counties, while the report in detail des cribes the mapping of lake areas, fight on stream .pollution, organization of sprts men's clubs, operating of hatchlerles, game reserves and aw oarden service. • The report was prepared under direction ct George N. Manufeld. divl sion supetintendent, who points out that the division receives no legislative appropriation but operates <n monies obtained through license sales and such fees as presevribed ‘by law. No fines assessed violators go to this division, but instead to. the school funds of the counties wherein they are imposed. So successful has the division operated that not only were structural Im provemeiits added to properties controlled, but 12,000 acres of land was purchased from earnings. This tract is | Brown county and serves two purposes. Primarily a game refuge and breeding place from which the overflow spreads to adjacent countryside, it also aids in the furtherance of forestry practice. It is brought out that license sales increased fiom 100,000 in 1918 to 32 1 *.- tmo in fiscal 1928. During the fiscal year receipts amounted to $335,031.24 computed to $889,149.96 in 1918 Disbursements this year were $2jf.735.91 (Including purchase of land®, hatch erics increased, etc.) against $96,199.36 dislmresed in 1918. Major accomplishments of the division for fiscal 1928 ending September 30, in brief, follow: Issued 321,257 licenses to fish and I hunt; 10,536 being to non-resident fisherman, and 517 to non-resident hunters. Issued 26,443 permits to hunt, fish ami trap without a license, to honor-1 ably discharged soldiers, sailors and | ,n:u ines. Added six pounds to Bass Lake and one propagating pound to Tri latkes fish hatcheries, in order to increase output of black bass stock fish. Removed 2,238 predatory fish from
