Do you realize the big event will occur three weeks from Friday? If you have any money with which to buy stocks because the I prices are down just look around and pick up a farm or some city real estate at present prices. You will be playing it much safer and will make more in the long run. Looks like the Japanese and the Chinese will get together concerning the Manchurian disagreement, accepting the recommendations of | the League of Nations which will be quite a victory tor that organ ization. In another month politics will begin to warm up in Indiana and from that time until after the primaries and conventions it will be a ,pontinous round with something I doing all the time, in fact you may I expect it pretty much through the I next year. Floyd Gibbons has gone to Mandiuria and will be back in a fewweeks with some brand new dope and boy how that guy can tell it over a radio. He never had a competitor when it comes to shooting thrills over the wires and the wireless. The first ten winners for both i white and yellow corn at the International Stock Show, Chicago, were awarded to Indiana farmers, again proving that this is the real Eden even if land is supposed to be worth more in lowa and Illinois. Results are what count and this state usually carries away the ribbons in these big meets. “Curtis stand cheers party," says headline. Well, whose the party? We doubt if its either Mr. Hoover or Mr. Curtis. Perhaps its Franklin Roosevelt for surely as a k ’fling candidate he couldn’t want any thing better. The early selection of the G. O. P. ticket will make the democratic contest wage the more earnestly in all probability. The income tax returns from Indiana in 1929 exceeded those of 1928. it has just been announced.

BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THATJANGS ON P.ersistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money 'efunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.)

Its fine that they are two years I late with the news. Now if they were to announce the returns for this year in comparison with either . of those years it would make you I sick and might account for all the ■ talk about sales tax and any thing ■ else that will raise money. Daniel L. Gilday, the Chicago ■ I i deacon and dry crusader, who shot Herman Knoll, 17-year-old Boy ■ Scout who saw the man staggering i along the street and attempted to help him home, must have got hold ‘ of some dynamite liquor that made him crazy for a man who goes straight sixty-five years surely wouldn’t go off on a tangent like that unless mad. The intense interest in the murdI er trial now in progress here was I demonstrated twice yesterday. ■ First, when Mr. Mills attempted to | open the doors at noon and the rush was so great that the glass panes in the door were shattered and again when the bands began playing for the post office dedication. not a person left the room. The people stood for hours to hear the testimony and the order is perfect practically all the time. Some jealous postmaster tried to I get the post office department at I Washington to change the name of I Santa Claus. Indiana, but the de- ' partment has refused to knock I that village out of the business I their selection of a name has brought. Each year at holiday time this post office does a business equal to many large cities and the rush has already started for this year. Mayor George -Krick has issued his annual proclamation for Santa Claus day, which comes this year ■ on next Saturdav, December sth. | After calling on every one to welI come old Santa, the mayor adds these well chosen words: “I call upon all those who love children to so devote themselves in this occasion that the laughter and voices of little ones will ring in our streets and the canopy of Heaven's Dome will reflect the brotherly love prevalent in our midst.” Help make it a great day. Hundreds of the people of this community visited the new post office building yesterday afternoon and attended the dedication ceremonies and enjoyed it all. though the rather cold weather made it a little uncomfortable for the outside program. They admired the building and enjoyed thoroughly all that was said in connection with the affair. It was entirely successful as was the banquet last evening. The American Legion, the school children, the bands, city officials and post office employes all joined in making it a real occasion. Mr. Anderson formally presented the building and it was accepted by Mayor Krick for the city. It is one of the most complete buildings of its kind in the country and will be appreciated more as we learn its conveniences. ♦ ... - - • Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE » <U.R) • Straining Cranberries Instead of using the customary spoon and strainer when straining cranberries, try using a rotary flour sifter.

When court opened this morning Gerald Fry was recalled for further cross-examination and for an hour and a half stood a fire of questions from the defense. He said he was standing in the garden when the trouble started about 80 feet away moved down by the barn with Ves Garwood and then on down the path until he was about twenty-five feet from scene. “Were you looking for trouble?" "Not trouble exactly, maybe a little talking.” He said he did not remember of saying to Mann that he knew what was going to happen.

Fry said he had no interest particularly in the case. He saw Werling after he was brought up the bank apd saw his body placed in ambulance. On re-direct examination Fry said that in his conversation with Joe and Garwood, nothing was said about Doras Werling and that they were just waiting to go fishing. Cross-examined Fry said he went to the river some time between 4 and 7 o’clock, but didn't remember just the time.

K. R. Whitredge, two miles south of Pleasant Mills, said Joe’s reputation is good. Cross-examined he said he was employed by the Hoover Company at Fort Wayne as salesman most of time past seven years. Heard there had been some “chewing matches" at the river it; which Joe took part.

The- ' boys started for the steep bank and Werling sat still. Then Werlling grabbed Joe. One of the Hal ■ berstadt boys said, “Come on, lets get him.” Doras and Joe clinched. | The boys took hold and all fell I scuffling. Couldn’t hear what was said.
