• Prosperity has turned the corner . so often that it seems to have be- . come dizzy. ' According to last year's census , there are twice as many widows in this country as widowers. Who is • it that pays and pays and pays? ' The complete program for dairy day will be announced next week and you will be delighted with it we are sure. Arthur Brisbane is no longer shouting "Don't sell American stocks short." Like many others Art is probably a sadder and wiser man. Its not dairy day but whats back of it that is worth while. This is occasion when the greatest men *Tn the dairying business will be here to tell us all what they think of the future and to encourage the farther development es a business that has become a leading avocation in the middle west. Twenty-five per cent of the land in Michigan has reverted to the state because the owners could not pay the taxes and it is estimated that unless some relief comes soon that much more will be taken over. That certainly conies near confiscation for taxes and ought to make other states take due notice. Several hundred cans of fruits and vegetables have been put up by tile church women and domestic science classes in Decatur. This is to be used by United Charities for aiding the needy next winter as necessary. Its a wonderful thing and we are proud of those who gave or worked at this important job. Governor Ross of Texas has signed a law which limits the load of motor trucks to 7,000 pounds and otherwise restricting their operation. The governor's sympathies seem to be with the railroads but he also argues that the new order of things will save the highways. The law is to be tested in the courts of that state. -It-you have fruit cans to spare call Mrs. George Meyers at the offi< u of the county superintendent or jpave them at the city hall. The fruits and vegetables are coming in and the United Charities need funds or the glass fruit jars for taking care of the goods. Help complete this job the next week or two so that the larder tor the needy will be well stocked. Its as fine a thing as you can do. Wonder if Mr. Coolidge got his four dollars per word for the long Don’t GetUp Nights Make this 25c Test You need a bladder physic to drive out impurities and excessive acids that cause irritation, burning and frequent desire. Get a 25c test box of BU-KETS, the bladder physic, from any drug store. After four days if not relieved of getting up nights go back and get your money. BU-KETS, containing buchu leaves, juniper oil, etc., acts on the bladder similar to castor oil on the bowels. If you are bothered with backache, or leg pains arising from bladder disorders you are bound to feel better after this < leansing and you get your regular sleep. Sold at Holthouse Drug Co.

announcement that he made recently that he will not be a candidate for the republican nomination for president. Usually he is very , brief as for instance when he decided not to be a candidate for the . third term some four years ago ■ and made the announcement in six simple words: "1 do not choose to 1 run." Something must have causI , ed him to spread the present denial over four or five pages of a | magazine. The old boy is thrifty. If the special election in the seventh district of Missouri Tuesday is any criterion, get ready for an old fashioned democratic landslide for next year, Robert Johnson, democrat, was elected to congress over John W. Palmer, republican by over 9.000. The district had been close for some years but this year there seemed to be no doubt as to the feelings of the voters toward the present administration. There are a half dozen more special congressional elections to be held over the country and it is possible the republicans may lose control of the house as a result. One of the contests which will attract greatest attention is in the Cincinnati district in Ohio where a successor to the late Speaker Longworth is to be chosen.

It is with a saddened heart we r record the death of our loyal friend, L William A. Kunkel, Sr., of Bluff- . ton. We knew him well and we . knew him under many and varied circumstances and we always found him a true blue, honest and courageous friend and citizen. As a . public official and as a private ! 1 citizen he was always the same . i kind and careful gentleman, anx- ■ ious to serve others and to please. , He made good in every duty under- , taken and his advice was always . good. He loved the better things in life and his home was an Ideal American abode where the loved ones gathered and were welcomed. As a very young man he served Wells county as surveyor and the friends made then by honest effort are still loyal to the Billy of the nineties. He became an expert on appraising oil properties and his - signature was often necessary before the large New York banks would complete a loan for the purpose of further development in the various fields. He was an outstanding figure in eastern Indiana and we will miss his council and his services as wil thousands of othess. o ♦— • Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "We need in the neighborhood of a hundred dollars."

ICOLLINGS C.A>E 1 IS MYSTERIOUS — ■ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEI set their daughter adrift in the cruiser. * Smith had been a lodger in the Richie home. He vanished about the time of the "pirate murder" !on Long Island Sound. A body believed to be his was washed up near where Collings body was. found. Dr. Otto H. Schultze, who burlesqued the coroner's inquest into i the Collings death last week, was committed to a sanitarium last I | night after allegedly becoming! violent at home. The doctor bad performed thoui sands of autopsies, and was advis- | er in the Starr Faithful case, and • the Hall-Mills mystery. By some he has been considered the origI Inal of Craig Kennedy, the scien- ■ title detective created by Arthur B. Reeves. Last Friday he gave first public evidetice of the mental strain' under which he was laboring dur-1 Ing the Collings inquest. Asked about bruises on Collings body, he replied: “All those little bruises! Please I don't 1 other me when I'm tired." And when Coroner William Gob- ' sin complained he had to use i leading questions to get his iesti- . mony, Schultze said: "I won’t be led by anyone. I'm I led only by the light of truth. Lead j kindly light.” I Assistant District Attorney Fred i J. Munder of Suffolk County, said lie knew nothing about the detea- - lion of the Richies in Florida. “The men are not wanted and I no general alarm has been sent out for them," he said. Baby Cow Slk Shown At Montana State Fair Helena, Mont., Oct. 1— (U.PJ — One of the exhibits which attracted a great deal of attention at the | I Montana state fair was Patsy, a | Itwo-months old cow elk. Sheepherders found Patsy aftel I | her mother had deserted her when I she was but a day old, near Hamil- | ton. The herders fed her on can- ■ ned milk and she followed the ‘ band of sheep for a number of i days. When the band reached the Myrick ranch Patsy decided that she i had seen enough of the country | and decided to settle down. She I I made friends with all the Myricks! and until it was decided to make her a part of the animal exhibit at I the fair had indicated no intention I of leaving.
