Smile once in awhile if you can't all the time. It wiii rest your face and relax the muscles. Its good for i you and for every one else. It doesn't cost any thing but a little effort and its worth that. We all want a fine, clean, progressive city and county and the way to get that is pull together. We may have personal differences but above that we are all agreed on the general good of the community. Let's pull in harmony. The American Nature Association is conducting a campaign to select the national flower. So far nearly a million votes have been cast and the wild rose has received nearly half the votes. The columbine is second and the violet third. This is a democratic city and the administration of the past four years should suit every citizen in every way except he be a partisan. The officials who are asking re-election as well as the others who were nominated by the democrats in the May primary deserve your hearty support because you know they will carry on as has been done in the past. Stick to Krick and those who will work with him. More than 2,500 divorces granted and two hundred refused, is the Reno record this year, including one which will be granted Mrs. Brainbridge Colby next Monday. Few of them are asked by Indiana folks for the laws here are rather lenient as compared to other states. Did you know that in one state, North Carolina, divorce is not recognized at all? The beet harvest is on and delivery to the big mill here will start next Tuesday. The factory will open a few days later and for the next several weeks the sugar factory will be one of the busiest places in this part of the country. Contracts are being taken for next year and effort will be made to make 1930 the biggest and best year for every one concerned on record. Let's all help do it. We commend those officials wlko so successfully apprehended the bandits who Wednesday robbed the bank at Spencerville, Indiana. Two hours later the men were captured and all of them pled guilty immediately. Most of the money was restored. That's the proper method of dealing with these men who have during the past few years overriden this country. We rather like the style of Miss Ishbe! MacDonald, daughter of the English prime minister and who accompanied him to this country. She is not worrying just where she will be placed at the banquets and when asked about it said so and then added very democratically, ‘‘l am not.worried as long as there is somebody nice to talk to.” Bet she has plenty of good common sense. Keep the old town moving. We are more than pleased with the progress of the past year. There has been considerable building of various sorts, the factories have operated overtime several months, about every one who wants a job has one. farming conditions are better than they have been and the future looks good. The more

Let's i plan now to make the last three i months the best of the year aud 1930 ' better than 1929. ' They are claiming that in a short time airplanes will travel at the rate of 1,000 miles an hour. Looks preposrous hut as far as that goes, we didn't believe a tew years ago they would travel at all and then that a hundred miles an hour was impossible and then two hundred. Now we are ready to believe any thing any one cares to risk a guess on. The radio, television, talkies and a thousand othci modern tmngs that we didn't believe could come, have cured us of doubting. They may do any thing. Congressman Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, democrat, is making complaint against the appointment of census supervisors all from one political party. Now if Louie wants our opinion we can tell him quickly that the plums belong to the party in power and since the republicans are there he is just butting his head against a stone wall. All the appointments he gets for his democratic friends he can stuff in one eye and feel no bad effects. If the democrats get in power some time and don't do the same they are just easy marks and that's about all we can see to it. It sounds just a little queer for the Hoover leaders to be whistling and explaining. They are actually trying to get some consolation from the fact the democrats had to join with the farm bloc republicans to beat them. And why not? The senate is decidedly republican. If Mr. Hoover cannot control the members of his own party, there must be something decidedly wrong. Os course there is. The deplace the power in the* hands ot the executive instead of in congress is to please jnst one group of citizens. They may do that some day but evidently it will require another election or two and they may not even then be able to put over the thing they have been striving for these many years, which is to reduce the control of the government in the hauds of just as few as possible. o • — Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE - When Labeling Tins When putting up fruit in tin cans, moisten the gummed label with glycerine and it will adhere to the tin readily. • Heavy Colds Heavy colds on the chest, and coughs will be greatly relieved by applying ordinary mustard and goose grease.

"The meetings of the Independent Producers Association at the exposition should be of special interest to foreign delegates.
