How can you be for Landon. the reactionary in the east and Landon. the progressive, in the west? It just doesn't add up. Well the "hell bent for Governor Kent’’ is over and you can figure it to suit yourself, with the knowledge that it doesn't mean a thing to the November election. The last of the primaries iu live widely separated states were held yesterday and now the leaders in each will get busy for the real test which comes November 3rd. The Republicans have to carry Maine by a lot more than 5,000 for senator before the Democrats will believe there is any thing but a Roosevelt trend in the air. The local football squad is hoping and praying lor a little cooler weather by Friday evening, when they open the season at Worthman Field against the old up-and-at-'em opponents, Bluffton. ATrnost a million automobile Bruises have been issued in Indiana this year, accounting Tor the numerous accidents and also evidencing that times are better than a few years ago by several hundred thousand cars. Want to see some nice corn for 1936? Take a look at the dozen sample ears displayed in the north window of this office. It was raised by William Strickler of near Monroeville and is as fine quality as has ever been displayed here. When we hear these G. 0. P. orators rant about what will happen if Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected, we smile, because we remember that Mr. Hoover s favorite expression four years ago was, “If you elect Roosevelt, grass will grow in the streets of every city .in the land." CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

Indiana colleges are opening with I the largest registration of students I tn years, signs of better conditions. For u few years many of the boys and girls graduated from high schools could not attend the highier institutions of learning. It's I different now, ! The Cliff Townsend meeting in i Kendallville was the largest pollt leal tally held there in years and that's the report from almost every place the Democratic candidate for governor appears. The people realise he is the proper man for the governorship and they like to hear him. Governor Brann was defeatd for senator in Maine by Senator White by about five thousand, a splendid . showing for the Democrats, because thal slate is normally from 50,000 to 65,000 Republican. Even i in the race for governor, the major-1 ity of 40,000 shows a Democratictrend, so don't let them "kid" you.' Lieutenant Governor Townsend ! certainly dot's not need to apolo-1 gize for his record as commissioner I of the state fair. During the three 1 years he has been in charge, this , has become a real institution, grow- • ing each year and is acknowledged I to be one of the best in America. | Also it has operated at a handsome j profit. - . . There are more than 500 eligible i voters in Decatur who must regist- 1 er before October sth or they can-;

, not vote. If you are in the bunch c | and you are if you have moved from one precinct to another or ~ changed your name, you should qualify. You can do so by calling at the clerk's office or by getting ,- in touch with your committeeman, c . It looks very much like the Giants and the Yanks for the world I series. The American league pennant is already settled and with , the New Yorkers out iu front by ,1 four and a half games over the n Cardinals, it is hardly possible they I' will be overtaken. The average fan would prefer it split up as to cities but nevertheless there will be much interest when they get r ready to settle the championship. J Suppose you wanted to take a straw vote in Adams county and proposed to send out a stated num her of ballots, say 1,06(1. You r could easily by selection or by i localities, receive the returns you I i desire. Os course that enters into i; every straw vote and mire so this i year than usual, because most I agencies conducting these votes are opposed to the administration. > which you should keep in mind as ’ the campaign proceeds. o i «.

CORN SURVIVED AU6USTHEAT Crop Is 17 Per ( ent Normal; Indiana Yield 112 Million Bushels Ufayette, Sept. 13.—(Special!— Despite the continuation of hot weather during moat of August, Indiana corn more than held its own, dne to the rainfall in various imrts of the state. Conditions of the crop was reported 47 per ceut normal on Sept. 1. against 46 per cent normal on Aug. 1, according to the monthly crop report. The estimated yield this season is 25 bushels per acre and the tenyear average is 34.6 bushels per acre. A production of bushels is predicted for this year, against approximately 160,000,000 last year. The intense heat during much of I August caused some coru to ripen ’ prematurely. However, reporters I found most corn well eared in spile of its uneven size. The northeast, section of the stale showed the| best corn condition while the northwest and southwest sections were, seemingly the hardest hit by the! drought. August rainfall was above! normal in the northern part of the | slate. tB.o-thirds of normal in the j central part, and one-tbird of normal in the southern part. The indicated production of oats was 34,736.090 bushels as compared with 38,610,009 bushels last year. The report on barley indi-| rated an estimated yield of 20 bushels per acre, which is two bushels below last year. Buckwheat. which in most cases was reported short and in full bloom,! showed a seven point increase over last month.
