The old cry t>f a political machine is 'being heard again but so far no one has been able to find one. Democratic candidates were named In primaries, fuirly and honestly conducted. Those who decry the politicians are making themselves look silly for they are likewise politicians If they seek office and apparently are the kind willing to promise any thing or say any thing to win. The opening of state highway No. 527 will occur Friday. November 9th, at which time the state high wa y commission chairmen from Indiana and Ohio will participate in the program, which is to be an event worthy of the cause. A delegation of several hundred from Ohio will take part and the entire community here will join in making it an auspicious occasion.

Automobile fatalities have de. creased about fifty per cent, due to the safety campaign put on by the Indiana state highway commission, which is a tecord they can well , feel proud of. If every car driver would assist by being as careful as , possible, the accidents which each week-end cause so much distress, could *be reduced to a minimum | and the department proposes to continue their warnings until that desirable record has been reached An Indianapolis resident who permitted two hitchhikers to enter his automobile was requited for his kindness by losing his car and purse, if two strangers rang your • doorbell you would not usher them ' into your home and ask them to I visit with you. Common prudence would suggest the danger of rob- : bery or assault. Yet the obliging ! autoist opens the door of his car. ! invites the stranger to enter it. , and lets him sit at his side or on J ! the back seat. He never seems to realize that he is jeopardising his life and property. The danger of assault and robbery is always present when a mortorfst invites a hitchliUier to accompany him. The stranger may be a fugitive from ' justice, a potential robber or rnurdjerer. or a weakling who is looking ■ for a chance to obtain money or a car. Not all hitchhikers are undesirable persons. Many of them are reputable citiiens who are seeking! transportation from one place to another, but since one is never I sure t>f their identity, it is good policy to ignore the thumbing of al! of them. The experience of the Indianapolis man who was robbed and deprived of his car near the outskirts of Richmond should drive home the Tessou of the danger in- ; herent in letting a stranger ride in your car.—Richmond Paladiutn. ♦ ♦ Household Scrapbook -bYRQBERTA LEE ♦ - ♦ Blanched Nuts NuU are blanched by immersing them in boiling water for two minutes. then in cold water, drain and remove skins, then spread thinly in pane and put in a warm oven t dry fi r a few hours.

CORN CROP IS BELOW NORMAL Indiana Corn Crop 25 Million Bushels LoMer Than 1933 - Indiana farmers will harvest a corn crop of 102.025.<W0 bushels this year, according to the forecast ns of Oct. 1., by M. M Justin, ngrhultural statistical for the V. R department of agriculture and Purdue university agricultural experiment station. This is in comparison with 127.2«3.<W bushels last rear and th» five year average from 1927-31 of 146,379.<w0 bushel. "Generally, throughout the state the crop is poorer than was thought earlier in the season, due to the extreme heat in July causing mnny barren stalks and poorly filled ears. The chinch bug and corn ear worms also have taken their toll resulting in much chaffy and low quality grain.” says the report. "The crop was most seriously affected by adverse factors in the three most northern districts of the state und the best prospects are in the central and southwestern portions of the state. The stocks of old corn on farms Oct. 1 were estimated at R,A94.O<W bushels which is 36 per cent of last year and 38 per cent of two years ago.” The yield per acre of oats was reported to have been the lowest on record, indicating a crop of 16.731.<W0 bushels. Due to excellent growing efltadt-: tions. potato crop prospects tin- ' proved greatly during September i and prospects are for a 4.200.000 i bushel crop, a gain of nearly a | million bushels above the outlook of a month ago. Soybeans harvested for grain are forecast at 2.115.1W0 bushels compared with 1.650.000 bushels last year and a five year average siii COLLECTION CHARGES ON YOUR ELECTRIC LIGHT > * POWER BILLS 1 • BY PAYING ON OR BEFORE » Oct. 20 The following collection charges on all accounts not paid by 20th of month following the meter reading j have been authorized: 10'c on sums up to $3 3% on sums over $3 CITY LIGHT & POWER OFFICE CITY HALL
