Those who enjoy daylight saving time should be taking advantage of it for in a few more days—September 26th. we go back to the old i standard and every body will be ! on the same schedule. Z It won’t be long now until the I bands will be playing, the merry-] go-round and the other rides flying j around and everybody having a great old time at the annual street I fair and agricultural show. Get ■ ready to join the big crowds. Fourteen thousand teachers have I gone back to the Chicago school : rooms without having received back [ pay and with but little hope of any | cash soon. Perhaps they feel its best to do that rather than noth- | iug. Surely some one in Chicago i can soon figure out a plan whereby | tne salaries of the school force can i be met. The Wabash river improvement Is away to a good start and it is ! predicted will drag along for many i weeks. The evidence while some- ’ what technical will be of much interest to every taxpayer and espec-’ ially to those personally effected I by the benefits and damages and this paper will try to provide the j new s as the important trial pro-1 eeeds. Major Woodcock, federal prohibition director, has issued an order that those on his payroll must not indulge in drinking liquor. That takes a lot of the sport out of it I * for it has been the order of things 1 that men and women on the force could have their parties and then | arrest those who provide the liquor. I That doesn't seem popular and consequently the new order. The stock market seems to be seeking another low level. A few more drops and there won't be any level or any stock market which may be the best thing that could happen to the country. However as soon as the wheels get to turning again you your last dime the Wall street boys will be out after their suckers—and will get them. Roger Babson may be right in his figures of eleven per cent off in business but that of course is the total.

own but what about the fellow that lias lost every thing he has. hasn't a job and no funds, owes a big mortgage that he can't meet? Its . certainly a lot worse than eleven per cent for these and there seems . to be so many of them. I The county commissioners and ■ the county council have met the ! present situation with courage and i good common sense and as a result ' the tax rate here will be considerably reduced notwithstanding a 1 ■ loss of a million and quarter dollars in valuation on personal property. Severe cuts were made in the funds for road maintainence, salaries and otherwise and it should be remembered that this will mean that much less to be spent. Os course the appropriations could not be entirely wiped out and that I would have been very foolish if possible. We have large sums invested in our various improvements and these must be kept up to that Point where they will'not lose in value. Next year new valuations will be placed upon all real estate which may mean an increase in rate unless further means for reducing expenditures can be found. Co-operation is the greatest thing i we can have these days and while ■ 'it is not pleasant to sacrifice or to | l>e too thrifty, it is some times the | I wisest course in the long run. With the schools opening, teach I lers could hardly do better than to i read to the pupils the story of i Pharoah's dream and Joseph's in- j I terpretation as related in the forty- ; first and subsequent chapters of < Genesis. If it could not under the [ laws be read as Scripture, it could | |at least be presented as literature, t land no more engaging story could be found. Those seven years of ’ i [plenty, followed by seven lean years | I when the famine ‘‘consumed the 1 i land'' may not have a parallel in 1 j t hese times, but somehow they [ come to mind as we hear sugges- i tions as to the destruction of the 1 riches that the earth is yielding. ( [ Grain has been conserved from the I earliest days and wheat—the corn 1 of the Bible—has been preserved ! for years and even centuries. It I lias not been difficult to carry grain lover from one year to another, but] [the preservation of so-called peri ishable foods is comparatively reKent. Metal lias been used at least since the days of the war of 12 as [ | food containers, but canning as an industry came in much later. This year it w*ill probably reach a maximum. Reports are that not only I the canning factories but the housei wives are putting by for winter | uses enormous quantities of fruits, vegetables and all the garden predicts. This is utilizing the wisdom [of the Egyptians. It is a year of plenty. The wheat and oats are I safely garnered: a big corn crop is ripening in the fields. "True," j answers the pessimist, "look at the price." The farmer is not getting as much for his grain as he ought to get, but he can take courage that he has food for the winter and seed for next spring, while fcity [folk can get more for less money than has been possible since the great war. The mere possession of a crop that is historical in its dimensions ought to be a stimulus ' to the entire nation. Since the farmers who have raised and who possess this enormous crop can [ not sell all of it to advantage, they are wisely converting their grain .'into jive stock and poultry. With : a roof over their head and food for ! the winter, the farmer, constituting the largest single element of (I population, will be the mainstay of | the nation until “the winter of our j discontent" becomes glorious sum- j ' mer. —Indianapolis News. o CALENDAR Sunday, September 13 II Beil Family Reunion, Legion J MeMorJUl Park, Decatui. o , ; BARGAINS — Bargains m living room, dining room suite, mat- | tresses and rugs.

DENVER PLANS CHURCH SESSION Denver. Colo., Sept. 10. —<U.R) — Denver will become, the Mecca of the Protestant Episcopal church in September, with the opening here of the 50th triennial convention. The executive and administrative staff of the church is being established at Denver for the convention. A special telephone service involving complicated machinery must be installed, with switch boards with eight different trunk lines and 23 branch lines connecting to various centralized points.

Most likely choice, by far, is Janet Gaynor. Even now, Fox is negdtiatixg to buy the talkie rights to “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Far m.” Naturally, Fox cant do this without the consent of Mary Pickford, who owns the silent picture. But Mary already has sold Fox “Daddy Long-

legs,” and there seems no reason j I why she shouldn’t agree to the i | new deal. i As for Janet’s ability to play the roles, the best answer is the box-office reports on ‘‘Daddy Longlegs.” It is the most popular picture she has made in some ; time. Provided Fox and Mary Pickford can come to an agreement, you may look for Janet to do | “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” , after the Gershwin musical, "De- : lie io us. JUST A ROMAN HOLIDAY. Doug Fairbanks’ gymnasium at i United Artists was the scene this week of a grudge fight between a studio laborer and a member of the art department- As the boys stepped into the improvised ring, the. spectators included Doug, Eddie Cantor, Mervyn Leßoy, Victor Fleming and Arthur Hornblow. The two combatants, however, were not impressed. Nervous from a night of anticipation, they circled cautiously, measuring each I other and trying to'get up courage to lead. Suddenly, Cantor cried: “Hey, you fellows, come over here.” The boys in the ring promptly j dropped their hands and came over to the ropes. As they got there, ■ Cantor whipped a small volume from iiis pocket. “Say," he inquired, “have you two read my latest book?" LATEST GOSSIP.

FURRIER RIVALS BRITISH RULER Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 10. —(U.R) —W. ! F. Doertenbach, a Pueblo furrier,! owns what is believed to be one of I the finest stamp collections in the I west and rivals King George of i Great Britain as a collector. Doertenbach. an elderly man, who i I has spent many years in the collec-' tion of the stamps from the various j countries of the world, doesn't know i himself how many stamps he has. I but they number in the thousands. He started stamp collecting as a I hobby to occupy his time and soon became tremendously interested in the rightly colored bits of paper, with their queer letters, queer pictures, and strange shapes. An album large enough to con- [ tain some 20.000 stamps was filled I to overflowing. Then Doertenbach [ started a series of albums, one for each country. Today he has a steei filing cabinet almost filled with these individual albums, and his collection is growing steadily. It is estimated he lias amassed a collection nearly as large as that of King George, of England, who owns a world famous stamp collection. o ♦ ♦ I ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two I 4 1.
