Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. The women of Adams county will enjoy the address of Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis very much if they attend the banquet on the evening of the 15th. Get your tickets now. Have you registered? It will be too late after today and if you have not done so, you have simply disqualified yourself and of course should not complain about your government. That was a tough ball game that Fitzsimmons pitched and lost for , the Giants Saturday, allowing only four hits while his team had eleven. That s what makes base bail. You just ean't figure it. Join the crowd for Bluffton Sat-| urday evening when M. Clifford Townsend will speak at the auditorium. This is "the campaign meeting for Adams and Wells county and we should send a large delegation. We will give you the real vote the night of November 3rd and you ean depend on that more than Sny of the straws or predictions. And it s going to be right because the people usually do the right thing when the time comes. When the "murderers row" of die New York Yankees got to working. they smashed the Giants for a new world record, hammering the ball all over the lot and putt-1 ifig eighteen runs across the home plate. They really looked like “champs.” Industry has absorbed 7.000,000 of the idle men in this country during the past couple of years, according to a report from the Cham her of Commerce of the United States and that is of course a conservative report. Why would any one wish to change a condition of that kind? Senator Borah is honest. He ad-! mits that the money spent in this country to render relief to the poor, unfortunate and suffering, was justified. Os course it was and only the "piker" is crying now. When a crisis arises it must be met and this one was and in the right way. Another month and it will all be over. In the meantime there will be many speeches intended to mislead you as to the real issue— ! which is after all what is best for the average man. Os that there should certainly be no doubt in the mind of he who can remember back just four short years. The three million people in Indiana deserve sound government. They have had it the past sour 1 years and every one who studies' these things, knows that. The noise you hear is political clap . trap and nothing else. You can continue good government in Indiana by electing Cliff Townsend. Cliff is the man. I The U. S. Chamber of Commerce wants a half billion dollar slash

lin expenditures and a balanced i budget during the next year. They may get that from President Roose- ; velt If business continues on the I upgrade but if they change horses Hu the middle of the stream, it will ' be hard to suy what they will get j or not get. Congratulations to Conrad Gilllg who is ninety years old today. That Is a ripe age and Mr. Conrad has much to be proud of. He has led a busy, active, splendid life and has the respect and the good wishes of every one who knows him. Still in excellent health, his i friends hoi>e he will live to observe < i many more birthdays. Hope you are properly register-1 , ed. If not you won’t need to pay 1 any attention to election day and | you should not complain over re-i 'suits. If you are qualified, of, course yon should plan to vote. Remember, this year, you can if > you are going to be absent on elec-. tlon day, apply for an absent voters ballot and thus protect your vote. Sheriff Brown, the state laillce and others who assisted in apprehending the men who held up the two filling stations at Berne, deserve credit for a good job. The way to stop this “stick up” business is to act promptly and flrm-| ly. The young men who thus ruined their lives will have an opportunity to give serious thought to the old fashioned idea thaf honest v is the best policy. i A straw vote depends ou where and how it is taken. Any one knows that and so far we don't know how any of the polls being ' i taken now for commercial purposes and as a form of advertising are being taken. Consequently, we have no way of knowing how aa'livii'ic any of tb.’in are. While ( most of these straw votes show Roosevelt in the lead, they are neverthelels not to be depended on too strongly. The vote on November 3rd is the one that will count. Yellow lines in state roads in Indiana are warnings. These lines mean that the driver must not pass any vehicle in front of him during the length of the yel’ow line. Get that in your mind and keep it there if you wish to avoid trouble, Any I driver disregarding these lines will he deemed guilty of reckless driving and liable to arrest. The lines are being placed on curves and hills where passing or going around other vehicles is hazardous. Careful driving should be the first consideration of every automobile driver. Greater care is the only way to reduce the traffic toll. It has beeu recognized from the' I beginning that the taxation program in the Republican State platj form was put there only as ages- ■ ture and bait to get votes. The platform deciares for a reduction in the amount of gasoline and automobile license taxes collected, for a reduction of fifteen cents to three cents on the state tax rate on property and for repeal of the gross income tax. To replace this in , come to the state, the Republican platform proposes the enactment of a net income tax law and "other laws.” No other than Raymond ' Springer, Republican candidate for governor, let the cat out of the j bag as to the absurdity of the proigram. Thus far, Republican speakers and press have been extremely i silent on the amount of money a i net income tax would raise. Mr. I Springer now points out that 34.- ■ 000,000 would be the amount. He 'doesn't consider the number of people with money, that would change their residence from Indi ana to states that have no net income tax law. This would probably lower the estimate by a big amount. The gross imoute tax is returning over fifteen nullion doli lars to the state to say nothing about the reduction in the state property tax levy and reduction iu

I gasoline and auto taxes. Does any voter believe Mr. Springer is a mircale man who can snatch the I millions of dollars difference out of the air? The only result of such a program would be a return to higher property taxes. —The Washington Democrat. o • ♦ Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee To Keep Plants Moist Here it away to keep a plant moist for several days without watering. Set a bowl of water aliove the level of the plant. Twist several strands of darning wool together and soak them in water. Place one end of this wick at the bottom of the bowl and let the other end hang over the plant.A steady drip will continue until the bow! is empty. Children's Bloomers Sew a small hook and eye at the end of the rubber Ground the knee of the child's bloomers. This rubber . can be easily removed when the bloomers are laundered and greatly facilitates ironing. Pastry Board A piece of clean white oilcloth makes an exce'lent substitute for the pastry board. It is more easily cleaned than the board, and can be rolled up and iput away in a clean place for next time wanted. 0 COURT HOUSE Support Money Ordered Chelsen Wyant plead not guilty j to a charge of child desertion.
