Al Capone has taken his enemies into partnership and will run the vice game in Chicago on a bigger plane than ever. Thats his bold announcement. Can you beat it? And the government goes serenly on with 'he bluff of enforcement. Thirty years ago the death rate , from typhoid fever was 34 per 100,- , 000. Today it is less than 5 per , 100,000. Thirty years ago the deatli . rate from tuberculosis was 200 per 100,000. Today it is than 78, and the day will come when Uiere , will be virtually no tuberculosis. ( I Several of the largest stores in Chicago this week began keeping open until nine o'clock in the evening. They have adopted the policy because they believe the people are demanding it and that by so doing the total sales can be , increased. It's something worth thinking seriously about.

if— ~ TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (uj» 4 Southend, Eng.—Mrs. Violet Ellen Waldron, In accusing her husband of deserting her In her own home at Love Lana Cottages, said he ate his meals standing up because she told him never to put his foot under her table again. ♦ < which hundreds of the youngsters took part. They enjoyed it but no more than the older folks. In a | few years these will be the men and women who are doing things in and for the community and they look like they will be able to handle the Jobs. The Maine republicans seem to approve of the administration if the vote in the Tuesday election is a criterion. And thats alright if they desire to go on with the present conditions. We fear the hope for recovery of general conditions is slim if the government is permitted to operate for the trusts alone. The state tax rate is to be boosted another cent, after a substantial raise last year and upon the fact that they haven't had to go any higher than that we presume the state administration will ask you to approve their record. Then next January they can go into the assembly assured that you are back I of their s plehilthrift methods. Surely you don't desire that. Those in charge of the fair should see that the various stands on the midway are fairly operated or close them and the police should assist them. Nothing is gained by permitting fakes and the public will resent it. We do not know that there are any grafts being operated but squinting out of a corner of the eye we believe there are a few outfits that ought to be watched. The merry-go-round, the rides of various kinds, the Ferris wheel and the Fun-on-the-Farm house are all going along merrily, the concessioners are crying their wares and the people are enjoying it all. Os course it wouldn’t be a fair without the stands and all the other set-ups that have been a part of it for a hundred years. There is one thing about it —what you don’t like, you can pass up. S. W. Straus, philanthropist, useful American and smart thinking citizen, is dead at tire age of 62. He was a thrift advocate and tor years issued a magazine stressing old fashioned saving. He was originator of the mortgage loan bond and by that means of financing aided in the building of many large blocks over the country. His business will go on because of a careful organization which he was wise enough to provide. The officers who trailed and caught the Ohio City bandits deserve credit. Tlie money was recovered and the men will pay for their efforts to get something for nothing. One of the men was seriously injured which made it possible to trail them and impossible for the men to make a get-away. Forced to ijtop at a farm house for water, the woman who ssw them had the presence of mind to call the sheriff at Van Wert and tell him where the men could be located. o 4— ♦ | Household Scrapbook ■ By | | ROBERTA LEE ♦ — « The Mop Holder Soiled oil mops are very untidy to handle or leave standing raound.

NATIONAL UNION OF PORTUGAL IS FACING PROBLEM Movement For Salvation And Aggrandizement of the Country Lisbon, Sept. 10—(UP)—Whether the ‘‘National Union”- organized by l the governor to include in its membership ‘ all the Portuguese who are | willing to work for salvation and j arrandizement of Portugal"—will be : a success, only time can tell. The body, although officially I known as a civil organization, accepts militaries in its membership. I The Dictatorship hopes that with ; aid of the National Union it can’ arrange for return to constitutional , government; and it insists that the body is entirely non-political. One of the chief surprises in connection with establishment of the; organization was the fact that the; Monarchists publicly declared that I they would participate in the organ-! ization, since its principal function was to work for good of the county. The Monarchist manifesto said the question of Republic or Monarchy could wait until the country had been politically and economically revised by the existing dictatorship. In view of this turn of events liberals of the country as well as members of the Republican par-, ties which existed before the advent of the Military Dictatorship (May 28, 1926) are not inclined tc participate in the work of the Union — — o * A BIG FEATURES OF RADIO I • i ♦ • Thursday’s 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1930 by UP.

OFFICE BOY OF FIELO TO TELL SECRETS j Chicago Man Loyal To ! First Instructions Given Him By Merchant Chicago, 111., Sept. 10,—<U.R>—The j confidence given an office boy by j Marshall Field in th days before i typewriters and when telephoning ; was an adventure has never been I betrayed although fifty years haxe | passed. I The office boy was Burt S. Davis i v.ho recently celebrated the completion of fifty years of continuous 1 service with Marshall Field and Co, j He began work as a cashboy at $2 I a week with the firm of Field, I Leither and company in 1880. During his first year he served as per- I sonal office boy to Marshall Field. In that connection he came in con- l tact with many prominent Chicagoans of a generation ago, including George M. Fullman, W. M. Hoyt and S. D. Kimbark. That was in the days when all ! correspondence was in longhand and telephones were unwiedly as- ! I fairs with the same instrument j I serving as receiver and transmit- ' I ter. When asked to reveal something I about Marshall Field, Davis refus- j ed, saying that as an office boy in j the eighties it had been strongly i impressed on him that all transac- J tions which lie witnessed were to 1 be held in confidence. That confidence he intends never to break. "I can say, though," said Davis, ‘that Mr. Field was a most seriousminded business man. thoughful and thorough; a dignified gentleman of the old school, always wearing a frock or cutaway coat; seldom smiling, but once in a while breaking forth with a contagious laugh. He was kindly, physically well built and attractive, and would be at home among business men today." Davis has represented tlfe wholesale branch of Marshall Field and Company as a traveling salesman for thirty-six years. o BARGAINS; — Bargains In Living Room, Dining Room suits, mat- | tresses and rugs.

HONAN AREA IS ALSO HURD HIT BY CHINA WAR > Situation Closely Parallels That in Hunan and Kiangsi Provinces By D. C. Bess. UP. Staff Correspondent Peiping, Sept. 10.— (U.R) —While Chinese politicians In the north are using the Communist uprisings south of the Yangtze as a pretext to attack General Chiang Kai-shek for permitting them, reliable reports from Honan province, largely controlled by the northern coalition, show that conditions in Honan, although they have not been so widely advertised, are just as bad or worse than those in Hunan and Kiangsi provinces. The situation in Honan closely parallels that iu Hunan and Kiang- , si. The civil war compelled General Chiang Kai-shek to withdraw troops from the southern provinces, giving the communists their chance, in precisely the same manner, the civil war compelled Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang to withdraw his troops from western and northern Honan, giving bandits in this province an opportunity to loot, burn and kill, which they have used to full advantage. Reports from missionaries and Chinese travellers in Honan reveal a situation so appalling that it can hardly be comprehended in the west, where such conditions have not existed since the middle ages. Scores of towns and villages have been captured, looted and burned this summer, and thousands of Chi- j nese have been killed with tortuie, or carried oil for ransom. It is estimated that between 40' and 50 fairly well-organized bandit i ...i..—■■■■■ H. Knapp# Son Decatur’s Authorized Radiola and Radiotron Dealer.

ganKfl are active in western Honan at present, and few cities and towns have escaped their ferocity. An eye-witness describes the capture of Yikingpu. a good-sized town about 30 miles east of J.oyang. which is fairly typical to dozens of similar outrages in Honan. A robber band numbering about 5,000 descended upon Yikingpu and surrounding villages. Firat the villages were looted thoroughly, hundred* of Chinese were killed after slow torture to learn where their money was hidden, and finally the villages were burned to the ground. They are a heap of ashes. The robbers then attacked and captured the town, where they remained for two days, looting and killing. The deaths are estimated at 500, while 2.000 men. women and children were wounded by the robbers. who hacked at anyone they encountered. The robbers rounded up everyone suspected of having money and carried them off for ransom. The eye witness declares the ban dlts were incredibly cruel. He de dares they nailed small children to walls, and left them hanging alive and in agony. Northern Honan is the traditional home of professional robbers, I who have survived for generations j in the mountains. Encouraged by j the withdrawal of Feng Yu-hsiang’s 1 troops, these gangs are now all
