A little touch of weather to remind us the cool days are just around the corner and if we have any chores to do in preparation therefor, we had better be getting at them. The Three Janleys, said to be the greatest performers in America, will furnish the free acts here next Wednesday night and if you miss that you will overlook a real thriller. < With the world series over this week, we can all get ready for six weeks of red hot scrimmages on the gridiron. You know we must have some of these events to distract our minds from what we think are the serious things of life. An airplane dropped on an automobile at Columbia City with fatal restilts and the pilot of the plane, who is the only one surviving doesn’t'seem to know just what did happen. Looks as though the young man who had not driven a plane for a long time had forgotten some of the finer points of this rather particular business. The force from the Kraft-Phenix department of National Dairies of whfch Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., is also a part, have sent word, that they are coming to Dairy Day in force. They are expecting a good time and we are sure they will not be -disappointed. With good weather it will be happy and successful event. The eastern bankers took so kindly to the suggestion that a bank pool be organized immediately to~take care of the “frozen assets” tli*t are lengthening the depression that they proceeded to organize injjnediately. If that is done with air honest purpose instead of to enrich those who get behind it there is-no doubt that it will aid greatly it*- the restoration—not of prosperity perhaps—but to make it possible for the entire country to be saved further severe losses and destxuetion of the business structure.

Work on Second street is being I pushed right along aud it will be ; in fairly good condition for Dairy Day. Although it cannot be completed. the pre-coat will be on and the street will be open for cars that day. it is said. The contractt or is hurrying it as rapidly as possible so that the Kentucky rock can 1 be put on before the temperature J gets down below fifty degrees, > which is the limit for spreading 1 this material safely. > l ! ’ Senators Robinson of Arkansas and Walsh of Montana, both democrats and each for years a leader in the upper house of Congress are asking the President to immediately call a special session of congress to enact a stabilization program. It sounds like a wise demand. There has been too much putting off the past two years and if there is any good to come from the plans already proposed, in Heaven's name, lets have it quickly. Every day of postponement is dangerous. Two men from Cleveland, bringing poultry to this city, were robbed of over six hundred dollars which one of the men carried in a belt and thats the second time they have lost their roll within three months. Each day we hear of similar hold-ups or of burglaries in homes where it is known sums of money are kept. The safe place for your money is in the bank and that not only prevents you losing it to bandits but aids your country by putting it in circulation. James Reed, former senator from Missouri and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, says he hopes the Democrats will adopt a sound platform and not go in for ffoble experiments. Reed's idea of a sound platform is one which pronounces for a deflation of federal government, to get it out of wheat, out of cotton, out of the sniffing business out of the citizen's private affairs and his business affairs, to pull congress away from the chest of dopes, opiates, and love potions, and to evict the quacks, medicine men. and cancer salve venders. If the United States is out of luck Reed sh one of a vanishing race, and if it is that much out of luck the race will be lucky to disappear in time, because what will be substituted for the nation of their affections and loyalties will be insufferable. It the old-time American has seen his days it is not only the end of an era but the end of a great idea. The qualities which made the United States cannot survive a complete reversal of I the conditions needed for their exi . istence. The nation has rested up- , on the doctrine that its citizens were adult, competent, self-reliant, and able in an political i and social system to take care of themselves and defend their common possessions. That idea has produced ail their first class men and the fiber of their citizenship. It the idea is wrong for the present generation and for succeeding generations the American republic must close its books. It's had its , day, the most brilliant of its kind. ■ but proof again that such ideals j were too much for the people to whom they were offered. We don't believe it. —Chicago Tribune. o Lessons In English * ... —* Words often misused: Do not say | "It was nervy of Charles to accost I a strange girl.” Say.

TOMBSTONE SET FOR ITS ANNUAL HELLDORADO Colorful Frontier Days Will Be Re-Enacted During Celebration Tombstone, Artz.. Oct. 9.—(U.R) (This old mining town, with its "boot hill" cemetery, quaint abode buildings and colorful history, is buzzing again with activity in preparing for its annual Helldorado, October 9 to 12. The Helldorado, designed to show how Tombstone lived during its "hell roaring" days, is about all the old town has left. Once again bearded miners will go on the powl and the crash of six guns echo through the dusty streets during enactment of 10 of the episdoes of the camp's bloody history. "Just outside Tombstone is “boot hill" cemetery a place where men who died with their boots on were buried in unmarked graves. Approximately 200 fallen warriors found their way into that graveyard. There is something tragic now about Tombstone. It is a village of less than a thousand and in its Helldorado pays tribute to a period in its history when from 15.000 to 20,000 persons called it home. It was, at one time, the largest city between New Orleans and San ' Francisco. For a long time Tombstone re- ! mained the seat of vast Cochise county. But a year or so ago an , election transferred the county seat to the copper town of Bisbee. So now the old town lives mostly on its tourist crop.
