The campaign seems to be a little draggy but it will warn: up i before long and we are sure the voters will go to the polls. You j should. Now is the time to study the various issues and consider the candidates. Henry Ford, interviewed in London, said lie favors free trade, whic'v we presume accounts for the fact he has always been so fiicjjly with the republican party and’ '3 particularly close friend to the Hardings, and Collidges and Hoovers. HSw nasty Chicago bandits -tlonXcare who they rob. They held ■ "P 3 rs - Thompson, wife of the . -m.'tyWf and grabbed her jewelry ~valnwrt at $18,0.00. Then they took "Tli—budge and gun away from her chaffuer, spanked him *—aniiwwran away. Such nerve, we "nevufe heard of such impudence. -■ Don't forget the old fashioned hickfffy pole raising at Monroe on tlie T7th. If you never saw one of these “hee-haw-htee" events, you *. will enjoy it and if you remember the old days when n every campaign this was a feature, you will like it even better. A good program will be given. County Agent L. E.. Archbold is planning a big agricultural week here December 8. It will include a corn show, seed exhibition, girls club work and other features that will interest a lot of the folks. Details will be announced in a short time and plans will be completed as rapidly as possible. The canditates on the democratic county ticket this year are excellent citizens, capable and worthy and deserve the support of every member of their part as well as the others who so desire. Look them over and from top to bottom you will find them substantial men who will serve you well and to your best interests. Tlrs County does'nt propose to behind the times in any thing and so we produce a couple of counterfeiters who have been putting act oss some smooth turns for getting something for nothing. That is they thought they could. Now they will have plenty of time to convince themselves that it might have- been easier and better to earned what they spent. An Adams County farm with good improvements is a bargain at-4150 per acre and you are safe —investing at that price. What ever - —you .can do under that figure is ■■ - profit just as sure as shooting and a little surer. It won't be long tin--liT you will be wandering why you didfi’t buy when you could. They cM lie had now and are easily financed. What are you waiting on? The big sugar mill is grinding and the big white beets which go

In on one side of the mill come out t'other side as fine granulated sugar as you ever tasted. The season Is expected to continue well up to Christmas, providing employment for a large number and the farmers who raised beets this year will receive fat. checks. Thats the kind of farm relief that is really worth talking about. President Hoover made a speech down south a day or two ago in which he urged that the constitution of the United States be carefully guarded. Thats right and under the exact same argument, any statesman of Indiana would be safe to advocate the guarding of the Hoosier constitution .which was copied after the federal document and which is still a grand old document. Don't throw it away to take chances on a flimsy one which will benefit a few individuals or groups. Billy Chambers, a ten year old Richmond lad, to be a slick one 'and its a pretty sure guess that he will get himself into various kinds of trouble before he is very old. He robbed a number of residences, set two or three on fire just for fun and when finally caught and locked in a jail cell, picked the lot, went home and got his mother and sister and fled to some where. He is getting an early start on a career that has but one end finally. Claude Ball will speak at Geneva tonight and his address should be of interest to the voters who desire some changes in governmental affairs. That ought to include about every body who has been trying to make an honest living the past few years. Instead of getting better after the republican congress passed a billion dollar tariff measure, times tightened up, due to the fact that foreign countries immediately started to get even. So there you are. Mr. Ball is a good speaker and has a message you should hear. o I Household Scrapbook By I ROBERTA LEE Tack on the inside of the pantry door or cellar door, a heavy square of cotton material, and use this as a pocket for storing wrapping paper and paper bags.

ANCIENT GODS OFFERED BABES AS SACRIFICES ; Field - Oxford Expedition Finds Evidence In Kish Chicago, Oct. 8. —(U.Rb— Child sacrifice was a part of the religious rites in ancient Kish some 2,500 years ago, according to evidence unearthed by the Field Museum Oxford University Joint Expedition to Mesopotamia. Henry Field, assistant curator at Field Museum of Natural History, in the October number of Field Museum News, describes the excavations, which during the past eight years has uncovered a large part of Kish, believed to be the seat of the world's earliest civilization, and dating back 5,000 years. “During the excavation in the Babylonian levels which are attributed to the middle of the first millenlum before the Christian era, numerous pot burials of children were unearthed,” writes Field. "The burial jars had been placed along the walls of the more important buildings, and it seems plausible to suggest that these babies may have been sacrificed to propitiate the gods in whose honor the buildings were erected. The majority of the babies were female. “Another curious discovery was made during work in the mound which contained an important Babylonian library of sun-baked tablets in cuneiform script. Slip-per-shaped coffins of baked clay were found near the walls of SnMdings and beside several of the sarcophagi were the skeletons of dogs. This suggests the possibility that the favorite animal was buried beside his master to accompany his soul to the .spirit world. “Several small dogs were buried beside children, and these animals may have watched and guarded the primitive cradles. When a child was sacrificed, the dog was also sacrificed and buried beside his playmate so that he might continue to protect him in the world beyond the grave.” o Get the baoit—Trade at Home.

Os course! » WHEN you want to get down-town in a hurry, you don’t sprint ten or twenty blocks in order to be there on time. You take an automobile or a street car, of course. When you w’ant to ask a question of a friend who lives a mile or so away, you don’t walk to his house to find out what you want to know. You call him on the telephone, of course. And so it goes—in all the affairs of your daily life. You take the easy, intelligent means of accomplishment every time. When you want to buy a refrigerator or a car or a piano, you don’t need to look all over town to discover the kind you want. You read the advertisements in your newspaper. They bring you all the facts necessary to decide just which refrigerator or car or piano will give you the most satisfaction, how much to pay, where to buy it. You buy through the advertisements because they sav you time and effort. Because they enable you to command certain values. Because they assure you of getting reliable and economical products every time. ~~~~ • It pays to read the advertisements. Decatur Daily Democrat
