Well, if you want to see Eva or Minnehaha or play the wheels or bingo or buy candy or pop corn or sandwiches, you'll have to hurry. The big fair closes tonight. And so goes another week into history. It has been a noisy one and for many a busy one. All of us will welcome the week-end with its quiet hours and the chance to relax. Senator Watson got sick making his speech at Linton. In all seriousness we never thought it would go that hard with him though we realized it was quite an effort this J ear. Well, the fair will be all over soon now and we ought to each start in Monday on making the autumn the best one for business in the history of the city. It can be done. Get busy on your display advertisement. The city force will get on the job at midnight and the main street which has been a midway lor a week past wiltj be cleaned and renovated and made ready for use as state and federal highw’ay No. A fellow over at Warsaw paid a fine this week for taking his wife across his knee and giving her an old fashioned spanking but he declared after paying it that he still felt he got value received for his investment. Over at Twelve Mile, Indiana, where th.e bank has been robbed twice they have adopted an entirely new plan to prevent another » entrance by the bandits. They keep the doors locked and to get in you must be identified and have the pass word. Gosh, what are we coming to. Col. Albert Sprague is the head of a committee of citizens in Chicago who will leave nothing undone to drive Capone and his army of gangsters from that city. He has millions back of him and a bunch of men that have the backbone. You may expect some real action when they start bombardment. The prohibition party refuses to be licked or to give up and while no convention has been held in this state, a ticket by petition has been filed with, the secretary of stgte, with a full list or a list full of candidates for each state office. „ Many believe they would be more effective by assisting in the election of candidates on the tickets of the major parties but everyone admits they are persistent. Checks for the premiums in the various departments of the annual street fair and agricultural show were being issued to the winners today. That part of the fair has been one of the most successful

We are sure the public thoroughly enjoyed the various departments. Senator Wheeler, a Montana dry lias come out for repeal of the present dry law and declares he favors the stand taken by Governor Roosevelt of New York, that it is a problem that should be settled by the states rather than the federal government. Right or wrong the arguments are making a lot of folks think the fight Is not entirely over. Senator Watson invites all who like the present tariff laws to vote the republican ticket and if that's all the votes they get, the democratic majority will be the largest ever heard of. So that's the issue, a tariff law that has driven away our foreign trade without helping industry in this country. So be it. Lets fight it out on Jim's line and if he can show us any benefits derived, we will admit he is wise beyond his reputation which is great. Mobilization of America's forces is under way in a thousand camps. Our man-power is being concentrated in all quarters and prepared for combat. War has not been declared, but that ia. but a matter of days. That sounds European, but it means nothing more alarming nor warlike than that the 1930 football season is under way. The clans are gathering in camp and on campus, at university, college, prep school and high school. A serious business it is! Costly stadiums have been built that must be made to carry the investment. The college that does nut have at least a good, if not a championship, football team finds it difficult to attract students. And alumni must be kept contented or they become self-contained when endowment drives come around. Costly training camps are being set up; large staffs of expert coaches and trainers are retained to groom their charges in moleskins as they never will be groomed for their sheepskins, and elaborate publicity machines are set up to carry to the nation camp and campus "dope” so that when th.e whistle blows the stands will be crowded at |2 a head. The 1930 football season is to be bigger and better than ever. And those words contain a thrill for even the most sincere critic of ' commercialized" football. • — * Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE | If the ticking of the bedroom clock is annoying, cover it with a glass bowl of some kind.

New York, Sept. 13—Living cor pses at the age of fifty! That is the description of American men recently given by Doctor Serge Voronoff who declares that many of the applicants for his monkev-gland operations are American men at or just over this age. Too fast a pace set by the ultra modern mode of living is in the reason given by Voronoff for the early exhaustion of Americans, many of whom, he asserts are applicants for the monkey-gland grafting operations made famous by the Russian doctor. American men live feverishly he declares, until they reach tfie age of fifty, after which milestone the soon become exhausted, worn out and as good as dead. Monkey-Gland Expert Voronoff has just returned to his laboratories in Nice, Eranee, after a world tour during which he visited the monkey farms established in China and Japan. lie declares ’hat he has now found easier means than those formerly employed by him for wristing the priceless secret of youth fi-om stern, uncompromising Mother Nature. He is working on experiments designed to complete the process of rejuvina tion by grafting only one gland instead of the three formerly used in the Voronoff operation. The precess will then become available to the average man, says the Russian savant who until now has only extremely wealthy applicants seeking youth via the monkey-gland route. Still Active Os course, the majority of Americans will be inclined to hotly contest Dr Voronoff's statements, by citing active lives of leaders of industry such as Ford. Edison, Mellon Rosenwald as proofs refuting the doctor s dictum. He has pointed out,

however, in former statements and interviews, that leaders of industry usually gear their lives carefully reserving their strength of mind and body for their business activities. Statement inaccurate Already many eminent American medical men have come to the de I fence of their country men with s'rong statements warmly contesting Voronoff's views. Doctor Joseph ICollins, famous not only as a neuIrologist, but as a brilliant and successful author, is only one of the indignant refuters of Voronoff’s proI nunciamento. Doctor Collins, who is ■ over 60, declares that he can name hundreds of men in their fifties and sixties who are at the very peak of 'their development, both physically land mentally. He thinks that be- , cause Voronoff has had some American patients, that does not give him the right to express so sweeping and so inaccurate a statemen’ about the entire nation. Doctor Francis C. Wood, a famous pathologist, who is a men!bet of the advisory board of the Department of Health of New York, Is another medical man who hotly disputes Voronoff's statement. He declares that, although we live taster —and, incidentally have a lot more fun —we are far from moribund at the age of 50, or Doctor Wood is of the opinion that we usually live only as long as we are useful, and that, although It might be possibble to live to an advanced ago by sitting with folded hands and doing nothing, we are not the type of people to grow old age that way. o Adrian and Wayne Markle* and Doyle Gilbert of Monroeville attend ed the street fair last evening.

HU SHIH TALK STIRS STUBE NTS AGAINST STRIFE Chinese Students in Peiping Claim Speech Started Revolution (United Press Staff Correspondent Peiping, Sept. 13 — (UP) — The thousands of Chineye students who remain in Peiping the year around are claiming that a new student revolution has been startl'd by Dr. Hu Shih, the! Chinese philosopher who is equally well-known in China and abroad. A speech which Dr. Hu made at the National University here has had tremendous repercußß sious among the students, who ate inspired to begin a new campagin against military demination of China. The auditorium of 3,000 persons. Four hours before his lecture was scheduled, the holding was occupied to capacity. The students showed great excitement and enthusiasm. It is significant that only one Chinese newspaper, in Tientsin not Peiping dated to print a synopsis of the lecture. A full translation of the address was given to the United Press through the courtesy of a Chinese newspaperman. "The past few' years have been full of tragedy in China," said Dr. Hu. "But one of the most tragic of situations. yi my opinion, has been the spectacle of students, in the north and the south alike, posting and shouting slogans in support of Chinese militarists, the men who are slowly bringing their country to ruin.” It is particularly tragic to watch students being misled by one militarist or another, said the philosopher, because it is clear that China's salvation lies in education of the younger generation, and when students waste their time supporting hopeless movements, they are neglecting preparation for later leadership. “But what kind of education can save China?" he asked. “In my opinion. only higher education, which is comparatively new in this country. China always boasts of its 5,00'J years of civilization, but institutions of higher learning here go back on ly 50 years. This National Univer sity is oniy 31 years old. "But look at Europe. As far back as the 14th century, Europe had 44

The advertising columns are “News” as much as the editorial columns. Advertising is packed with news. News of the latest styles, of a new food, of an improved household utensil, of a powerful and lowpriced automobile, of trips to Europe and all ports of the world—and so on. Advertising has become “news,” and people depend on advertisements for accurate information about things they wish to know. Reading advertising is a useful and profitable habit. It saves time, by telling you where desired articles may be purchased. It saves money because advertised merchandise is more depndable as to quality and durability than non-advertised wares. .

universities, indeed, there are many universities in Europe today without continuous existence of eight or 10 centuries. Europe is therefore centuries ahead of China in higher education." Dr. Hu said the so-called leaders in China today reveal their lack of preparation for real leadership "As for the militarists,” he said, "they have either risen from the ranks or spent three years in a Japanese military academy. Does that qualify them to lead us? Our civil officials have had an old-fash-ioned law education or none at all They are helpless to lead. Consider our so-called loyal party leaders. What qualifications have they shown to pose as the model leaders of their country? “Look at the men who write for the masses. Are there any of them who have mastered the important books, who have anything to offer •of permanent value? How many |of the older generation can provide any thoughts to relieve the universal intellectual famine? “China's problems are essentially more difficult and complicated than (hose faced by any other country in the world today, for here we are dealing with a country that has never been systematically organized In fact. China has long ceased to be a nation. “Our ancients used to say, with much truth, that the people ara the foundation of a nation. But our present-day rulers seem to take the attitude that while the people may all die of famine or in senseless wars, they cannot give up their pastime of civil war, and that while

the countiy may go to the dogs, they cannot refrain from assisting in its ruin by venting their personal spites. "I maintain that the real oppon ent of the Chinese national revolution is not foreign imperialism, nor tha|t vague 'lnfluence, feudalism The country is suffering from five 'demons' or evil spirits, and unless they aie exercised, there is no hope for China. These five are appalling poverty universal disease woeful ignorance, official greed and corruption, and civil war. "China is indeed lucky to have escaped national extinction, for ner present circumstances deserve such a tate. If the ‘melon" has not been divided by the powers, it has not been because of any strength in China, but because of the conflicting interests and pealousies of the powers themselves. “Only recently I read an article by Liang Shou-min in the 'Village Self-government Monthly," in which he declares that he has now realized the futility of western civilization, and that we should preserve our own civilization intact. Don’t be deceeived by sueh mistaken notions. 1 hold that we should essimilate as much of western civilization as possible. We need real higher education, which we have never had. We should neglect no possible source of real knowledge. In that lies the hope of China.” —o BARGAINS: — Bargains In Living Room, Dining Room suits, mattresses and rugs. Stuckey and Co, Monroe.
