The foggy season seems to be here and the nights of the past week have made it necessary to drive even more carefully than usual. Its a poor time to try the speed of your car. The safety of children is one of the most important things to be considered and every car driver should use the greatest care when approaching a school zone or when meeting a school hack. By the way you haven't overlooked securing a driver’s license have you? Next Tuesday will be October Ist and if you haven’t one by then and the state police happen to find it out, it will be just too bad. Most any one can name a dozen good lawyers in any Indiana county i who could make a thorough investigation of the fraud and corruption in northwestern Indiana if given the opportunity and the proper support. If i such a result is not obtained its be- i cause some one with a lot of authority or pull does not want it to happen. Tomorrow comes another Sunday when your presence in church will help you and others. It can't do you any harm and it seems just common dense that we should devote a little , time to thoughts of eternity which compared to our three score years and ten here is so much greater that we can scarcely comprehend it. We would have more confidence in ' the Gary probe if the high powered gentleman sent there from Washington was not a very close friend and an appointee of one James Watson. Besides they have fooled around long enough. If they intended to actually probe the election frauds they would have been down to real business long ago. ■ That October trading festival or fall opening has not been planned so far as we have learned. It could be made a,beet exhibit, a pumpkin show, a dollar day or just a plain business open- i iug for the display of fall and winter goods and to a good advantage for every one. We believe that kind of effort is the best that can be made by the business men of any town or city. We admire the grit of the folks in Bluffton. During the past few years they have passed through several severe ordeals, sufficient to take the pep out of most any ordinary community. Over there they have kept heads up and have smiled as much as possible. This week they are having the best street fair in their history and every body is boosting. The Banner and News each published large special editions and they are carrying on. We have too much faith in America to doubt that such a spirit will win out. Can t help it. That prohibition enforcement is a problem every where is admitted and that it is impossible unless more funds and more men are provided for the task seems certain. An eastern newspaper speaking of the appointment of William J. Calhoun to be enforcement officer of the state of New Jersey says that while he is perhaps the best of the fourteen who have so far tried the job he nffght as well try to mop up Lake Hopatcong with a

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Ridge, N Y., —(UP)—Two perfectly formed hearts, which apparently functioned as one, were found. In a turkey owned by Mr and .Mrs. J. D. Kuhn. The gobbler had been struck’ fatally by an auto. sponge as to dry that state with the puny forces at his command. We might as well make up our minds, it seems that it wil require a standing ( army tn every section of each state to do the job thoroughly and even then most of thb army would probably be bootlegging in those sections where the majority are opposed to prohibition. The city of New York has begun a campaign under a law which makes unlawful the unnecessary blowing “of horns and the use of horns and other sound-making devices that are unnecessarily loud or harsh,” and thus inaugurates what may be a national crusade. Let us at least hope so. In the early days of automobiles, when the world was in the horse and buggy age a horn was an absolute essential. Today, in most cases, it is used by drivers in lieu of brakes and thus it is not only annoying but extremely dangerous. Many drivers today dash through a populated district without abating their speed one bit. sounding their horns almost continuously so that they may take the right of way by reason of their insistence and their recklessness. The difficulty is that many drivers think that the sounding of a horn is the mark of a very caref' 1 driver and is to be commended rather than condemned. Such, however, is not the case, for the good driver is so careful himself and has his car so constantly under control that he has absolutely no need of a warning signal. If he is approaching a dangerous intersection he does not sound a long blast of his noisemaker, but approaches the crossing at slow speed and makes certain that it is safe to proceed before he dose so. Car drivers need education in this regard. Civilization today is noisy enough without the incessant and irritating squawk of auto horns. Let every driver join in the movement to abate the nuisance.—Shelbyville Republican. Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Baby's Mouth Keep baby's mouth clean by mixing a solution of one teaspoonful of borasic acid to twefity teaspoonfuls of water. Use a clean swab, made by twisting cotton tightly around a toothpick, and wash out the mouth twice daily. This will avoid any complications of the stomach. Paint Stains Old and ry paint stains can bo removed from cotton or woolen goixls with chloroform. First cover the spot with olive oil or butter. Blankets To protect the blankets sew a piece of thin muslin to the blanket, reaching about eight inches down from the top. This will also lighten the cleaning bills 0 57 ¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥*¥3 * NEWS FROM PREBLE * Mrs. E. A. Goldner and Mrs. Irvin Goldner Spent Friday afternoon in Fort Wayne.
