Buy a ticket for the Redpath Chautauqua to be given under the auspices of the senior class of the Decatur high school. Its a good cause to support and the series of entertainments will be elevating and instructive as well as amusing. You are not in style these days unless you have a sneeze and a sniffle. Those who haven't a touch of hay fever seem to have a secon.J cousin to it like a summer cold or the flu or something else that hurries those who can afTord it off to the far north. You can sell goods if you advertise them or you can keep them of course if you prefer. The buying season is here and the public v.ill be purchasing fall and winter supplies the next several weeks. Its up to you to get your share of the business but you must go after it. The stock market is having another slide. About every two or three weeks it seems to slip and each time those stocks which were supposed to have reached bottom months ago, find a new low level. A lot of folks are discovering that most any investment is better than a fling at the market. You still have tue opportunity to buy an Adams county farm at much less than Us worth and we don't know of any better thing you can do. Just think of owning a nice, trim, good producing farm, which will bring in to you in a good return and will grow rapidly in value. Its the finest insurance for the future you can have.

f TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.R) • Broadstalrs, Eng.—The Islo I of Thanct I* busy combating a plunge of butterflies which are t destroying cahbuges. » - ♦ Congressman Hall of the Eleventh Imihuia district says the new tariff 1 luw Is responsible for the present "good times" we are having. We thought so. Boasting about the smoke that is pouring from the thousands of plants is a Joke to most every one for the smoke has been mighty thin recently and doesn’t seem to be thickening a lot, though we are on the eve of another election. The reunion of field artillery 139th of which old Company A was r part during the World War will be held here October 18th and 19th and plans have started to make it a real affair, one that will keep the boys busy every hour they are here. It was .a great outfit and many of those who took leading parts in the days of ’l7 and ’lB will be here to hear the old yarns and tell a a few themselves. Decatur will give the boys a hearty welcome. Seven members of the family were standing in the front yard of James Bernard at Peru when an automobile dashed from the street and mowed them down, all being Injured and one or two seriously. The driver says he was blinded by the bright lights of approaching car but if he had been driving at a reasonable rate It seems he could have had a little better control. Work for a committee or a commission. Mrs. McCormick says the senate committee is "interfering with her personal and private rights," and in that she will probably have the approval of Vare and Smith and others who have been chastised for spending ten times as much to get an office as they can honestly get out of it. She is in a very pretty battle just now with Senator Nye, chairman of the investigating committee. Let ’em scrap, it may clear up some matters that ought to be of importance to the people and the public. -J i Bluffton is busy getting ready fro her big annual street fair which opens next week and which is always an attraction for fifty miles around. Plans for this year include many interesting events and the fair promises to be one of the best ever given there and they have been doing It for about a third of a century. Hundreds of Bluffton and Wells county folks attended the fair here last week and no doubt the visit will be repaid by just as many from Decatur ana Adams county next week. Plans for a general discussion of the proposed change of the Indiana constitution are now being made and you will hear much of it over the radio the next few we r ks. We are open to conviction but we insist it will take some argument to convince us that we ought to spend a million dollars at this time to wrangle over a constitution that will probably not be as good as the one we have and wil lnot be finally approved. We do not believe the sensible people of this state will support any such an effort under present conditions. o ♦ — • Modern Etiquette By | ROBERTA LEE • (U.R) ♦ Q.
