Me haven't heard any one complain about the weather for several weeks and surely no one would have the nerve. The past month or so has been alxiut as perfect an autumn as we can remember. Hallowe'en will soon be here and the General Electric band are making rt-T.h-.ir business to plan a good itme-for every one. Its just a big. free, good time for every one, big aad little. Be sure to plan to take part (ttie way or another.

Claude Ball, democratic candidate for congress in this district is making a vigorous campaign with an excellent chance to win over Mr. Vestal who has held the job since 1917.

year Is an exceptionally strong one and deserving of your support. Look them over — Erwin for judge, Gottschalk for the senate, Saundtrs for representative, Johnson for sheriff. Wechter for treasurer, Martin aud Striker for commisslont era, Roop tor surveyor. Werling for . clerk, and Grandstaff for coroner, f What's the matter with these men? They're alright.

It should be an interesting week and will be beneficial to every one — farmers and tneri chants alike —if the proper effort and cooperation is given. Watch tor further announcements. Samuel Insull, one of the greatst business men in America with a total business of some three billion dollars, is an optimist. He I feels the depression is well over and that good times, better than for years, are in the offing. To back up his prediction he announces that his company will expend a couple of hundred million dollars on improvements next year. iThats the kind of talk that really counts and it enough big and little folks will do the same proportionately, the depression will soon lift. Attorney General Ogden is going to continue the probe at Marion where a couple of colored boys were lynched the night of August 7th. Two deputies from Ogden's ( office did investigate but there was nothing doing as a result. Seems | as though a large number of negroes are protesting and as there • is an election near, something must j be done. Now there is talk of indicting the sheriff of Grant county • for not attending to his business. Its doubttul if they get very rough | with any one. One of the things that makes the j coming election of unusual importance is the fact that you will be asked to vote on whether or not you want a constitutional conven- . tion. A majority will win it this year, according to the opinion of the attorney general who holds it j do- s not require the majority ot' the vote cast for secretary of state as in previous elections. If that carries it will mean an expensive 1 session of delegates and the construction of new basic laws that may have numerous flaws and will lequire years of litigation to make permanent. If there is any particular thing about the present constitution that should be changed lets do that, but please consider carefully before you vote for a convention to upset the present one. The state government during the past several months has published ' : and distributed in Indiana a book entitled "Indiana.” This book contains photographs of Governor Leslie and other prominent Republicans in Indiana as a feature thereof. Twenty-five thousand copies of the book “Indiana” were printed and distributed. Each book cost the tax payer of the state fortythree cents exclusive of the engravings and binding. After print-i cd they were forwarded to lawyers and other citizens of the state accompanied by cards of certain republican candidates for state offices. tn other words, approximately $15,000 of the people’s money were used in the printing of a book which has all of the "ear marks” of a political gesture during a campaign. o .

Every scene of the river was dear to my heart And I thought from its banks r would never depart; But time and ambition had altered, my plan, 1 returned to the river a gray headed man. And I though; as I peeper! through the foliages there, Mother Nature had painted a picture so fair From the grass neath my feet to the boughs overhead. Then I turned to the river, addressing It, said: Oh! beautiful river, I envy you so You see naught but happiness here as you flow. Your pathway with lovers and wild flowers team, Your life, your existence, a long happy dream. Oh you are mistaken, th • river replied. Don’t thing for a moment I see but j one side. There are always two sides, and, to tell you the truth, When they come to my pres nee, I look at them both. I will speak of two lovers I often did see. They both seemed as happy, as happy could be, And I dare say had vowed, they would ever be true. But one day they quarrelled, as lovers will do. I could see by the make-up and frown on her face No thanks and best wishes were there taking place. While he looked on her face with a feeling of pride, She talked rather loud as she sat by his side. I knew not their trouble—in truth could not state If they kissed and made up when he left at the gate. They’ve quarrelled, I thought, ahave lovers before. 1 saw him once after—l saw her no more. lie came to the river one evening of late, Returned as the songster returns for his mate. A lover i ejected, he stood there alone. The light of his life with another had flown. He called to his sweetheart —he called, but in vain. ;It was the voice of the dying—what anguish—what pain. In return for the love and affection he gave, i Seeking solace at last in the depths with the wave. —E. F. Gilpin, 943 E. Market St., Indianapolis, Ind.

SETS TIME OF BOOK READING Six words per second or about four and one-halt' hours for a standard size book, is good average reading speed, and moat people can aspire to reach this seemingly extra ordinary rapidity, according to Dr. R. 8. Woodworth, noted psychologist ot Columbiba University, editor of "Arehieves of Psychology", and former president of the Psychological Association. in a recent statement to the Book Publishers Research Institute. Dr. Woodworth, who is the auditor of widely used text books on psychological aspects ot reading. "Twelve to fifteen years of age is the critical period when a person is likely to form his tastes in reading. But any one can improve these tastes and can speed up his reading time as well, if he will attack the problem seriously,” .he stated in a recent interview. “Os course, very few people can read a whole !><>ok at one sitting and maintain the maximum rate," he explained. "The eye tires, and the mind is likely co become fagged after a few hundred pages.” A group of seven adults used as subjects in an experiment improved their reading time and retentiveness twenty five per cent in a short time. Dr. Woodworth stated. "Interest increases speed in reading, as we notice when we turn from a serious book to an exciting novel," he continued. “A reader who wishes to read serious books with speed and ease should ask himself i questions which he wants answered by the book. The fast reader hurries to answer questions which have arisen in his mind, while the slow, dawdling reader is passive, not looking for anything, and so has no eagerness to press forward.” The brain, not the eye, determines the speed of reading, Dr. Wood worth declared. All eyes move it about the same rate, as is shown in experiments where a beam of light reflected from the surface of a reader's eye is recorded by a mo ion picture camera. "The eye cannot move steadily but must move in a series of jerks, witli pauses betewben. These pauses are needed to see tne material clearly, but still more to give time for the meaning to be grasped. They take up about 95 per cent of the reader's time, the small remain ler being all that the eye requires for its actual motion across the i page, once the eye mechanics oi :

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 want 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 facte 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

reading are mastered in childhood. The eye as a machine is well able to operate faster than the mind can grasp the sense, interest, by hastening the grasping process. increases the speed of the readins "The best time to form the habit of reading good books is between the ages of twelve aud fifteen, because then the child is no longer intersted in juvenile stories, and ho will either begin to read sound literature or slip into Ute tabloid type. Hence it is Important that parents exercise wise guidance over their children’s reading at. this time if they wish them to read good books as they grow older." Dr. Woodworth concluded. o " - — — ♦ « Modern Etiquette By I ROBERTA LEE e— am ♦ Q. Is it obligatory for a girl to give the man she is engaced to an engagement present? A.
