Vote the Democratic state ticket, headed by Cliff Townsend, a real man ready to make a real tight for you. Don't quit working. Help get the vote out. That's the surest way to return a big majority in Adams county. Gasoline taxes were *177,101 higher last month than for September of 1935, more proof that the country has “gone to the dogs.” What in the world has become 1 of John Hamilton? He hasn't been heard from for several weeks and there are some who fear he has been inuzzeld until after the campaign. Jesse James was a piker and John Dillinger a rough ueck compared to the thieves who stole tha floor from a Knox county bridge. It has been missing several days and not a trace of it. Frank Knox, candidate for vice-; preaident on the Republican ticket, seems greatly exercised over the debt the children will have to pay and the big laugh is that he hasn't a chick or child in the world. — There is a reason when a person' or a corporation donates more than a million dollars to a campaign fund and when that concern is in, the war munition business, the voters naturally get a little nervous. Don't miss the Crawford meeting at Berne tomorrow night. j There will be a good speech, a ; band concert and a lunch, a good place to hear the issues fairly discussed and to meet your friends. You can thank President Roose-, velt for what he has done for you by voting for his re-election on November 3rd. By doing so you will be assuring yourself and the nation of four more years of action in favor of the greatest number ot people. Mr. Springer insists that lie can operate the state without either a sales tax or the gross income tax. Well there is just one way it can be done and that is the old fashioned method of boosting taxes on your personal property and real estate. 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 K. 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.

The state of Indiana is adverv tlslng for a doctor to serve as ‘ physician at the Indiana Colony ; for Feeble Minded at Butlerville. Some contrast to a few years ago '' when thousands of folks were tryt ing f?> get Jobs and begging for , any thing. t Dean Acheson, former under t secretary of the treasury, who got in a "huff" one day and resigned, » is the latest of the business lead- > ers of the east to line up for ’ Roosevelt. He gives about the I same reasons as did Mr. Warburg > a few days ago. ________ I , The Literary Digest and the i Berne Witness still claim the eleci tion ot' Governor Landon, while all the other magazines and newspapers admit that the election “is 'in the bag" for Mr. Roosevelt. Must be a lot ot folks out of step if they are right. It is charged that the average national debt has increased *6O per person in the United States the past three years. Perhaps so, but don't overtook the fact that I the average income has shot up | too. the increase being *l9O per person. That's not so bad. The next ten days will be busy I ones for those of every political ; party who give of there effort and time during a campaign. There are many important things to be' attended to but you may be sure , that every detail will be arranged by the morning of November 3rd. The liquidation of the Benjamin I Harrison Life Insurance company , does not reflect great credit on • those who were apparently most interested in its success, including I Raymond Springer, Republican I candidate for governor and the more disclosures, the plainer that, I fact becomes. It looks like Earl Browder, communist candidate for the presidency, is getting just what he is after, a lot more publicity than he deserves. Espousing a cause which j does not believe in the constitution, he claims the rights of its i protection. The more he is oppos- i ed. the more his cause grows. The Crawford meeting at Berne j Thursday night, a labor. meeting , here Friday evening, the Roosevelt I Caravan at Geneva, Berne, Moni roe and Decatur next Monday and ; then a program of smokers and speeches over the county to conclude the campaign. Every voter! ' can get posted with just a little' effort. B Arthur Pierson of Muncie, secretary of the Typographical Union.; 1 will speak to the laboring men of this community at the court house Friday evening. While this has never been an organized town < to any extent, the problems are . very similar and Mr. Pierson's speech should be one of the interesting ones of the campaign. Gerald L. K. Smith, who as a 1 paid representative of the late Senator Long, gained some notoriety, now announces he will organI ize a fascist army, desigped to seize the government. Its time some one became patriotic enough to control him. one way or auoth er. The right of free speech and ■ free press surely doesn't include treason or disloyality. o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q.

The seat farthest from the ; curb, so that her escort may not ; be forced to pass in front of her ' unnecessarily. Q. Who should cut the weddI ing cake? A.

WORKMEN RUSH LAND PROJECT Rush Work On 50,000Acre Land Development In State Indianapolis, Oct. 22—(UJ?) —An ■ I army of wortoeu competed with advancing cold weather today in an effort to reach the half-way ; mark of a 50.000 acre land development project in Brown and ) Martin counties. The work is part of a land-use program directed by the resettle- , meat administration which has. nine projects involving 116,0001 acres under way in Ohio, Illinois, I lowa. Missouri and Indiana. Approximately J,200 men arc' making non-agricultural land i available for uses more economic | than farming. i The Brown and Martin county' I projects are sponsored by the I Indiana department of conserva-1 tion. The Brown county area in- j . eludes about 20.000 acres in the. '-ieighborhood of Nashville while the Martin county project covers ] some 30,000 acres north of Shoals, j lieforestation, game preserva-1 tion, soil erosion and flood con- j 1 trol, water conservation and re-| creation are the main factors be-! ing considered in the development work. Steps are being taken to stock ; lakes in the areas with native i fish. Shelters are being built and feed crops planted for upland I game birds. Some of the projects •will have only day picnic areas while others will provide overnight cabins. Three will be fresh water supplies, outdoor fire places and miles of foot trails. "In developing these projects, the resettlement administration is I attempting to eet up demonstration areas to show what can be done,” L. E. Sawyer, assistant regional resettlement administraI tion director in charge of land-use operations, explained. "In the past, thousands of acres , of land in these areas have been ruined by improper farming methods or never should have been i farmed in the first place,’’ Sawyer said. "It is our intention to make a 1 start by placing these demonstra- ■ tion projects in operation. Our hope is that they will sen's as guides for further activities among government and private agencies • as well as individual farmers.” . Sawyer said savings in govern-' mental expense through abandon- > ment of unnecessary schools and i roads in the project areas would assist greatly in reducing the cost of local government. • "It is difficult to estimate how many people these areas will serve but. in view of the proximity of several large cities, we believe this work will make outdoor , recreation available to several • million adults and children who t formerly were denied such opportunities,” Sawyer said. i, All but 15.000 acres of the" needed laud is under option and has been accepted by the federal -| government. Os the total ajiwunt. ; more than 25,000 acres already i have been purchased from the owners. .. ■. Sawyer said selling of this land
