This city and county is going along about as nicely as any we know of with business good and with a friendliness that cannot be denied. That's the best asset any community can have, ■" Ray Shoaf wanted to see how a dynamite cap was made and proceeded to lake it apart. Just about the lime he got down to the real works, it went off and Ray learned that it doesn't pay to be too curious about such inventions.

It would have been j if be hadn't received medical treatment. Th* National league pennant is still in dispute and will probably require the very last game to decide it.

The interest shown by school children and by the various farm organizations the past few years has put the fair over in a big way and it now excels in every department. The Hoosier State Fair is recognized as one of the very best in the entire nation. The tax rates will soon be fixed find in the various Adams county units the rates will be satisfactory and much lower than a few years ago. This is due largely to the facts that the bonded indebtedness is being paid off and the funds returned from the state as a result of the gross income tax law are being returned to the cities and counties. It is a decided improvement for the property owner. Candidates will soon be feeling their way for the 1938 campaign and those inclined to toss in their hats should be careful to weigh both sides of the public. Discover if you can what they are saying against you rather than what they are "saying for you and then make I your decision. Usually when a man becomes a candidate he looks only for favorable reports while his critics may have more to do with results than his boosters. One man can plant a tree and seem to have almost mystic power Ito make it grow, while another fails. The difference, often called luck, is that one gives careful attention to every detail, looks out for trifling things that the careless man never thinks about. One wo- < man puts up pickles that are perfect, while another follows the same method and fails. The difference is in craftsmanship, exacting attention to details which comes from genuine affection for the job. That is something you can't buy with money. It was this spirit which inspired the old feedlot axiom, “The eye of the master fatteneth the cattle.” — The Prairie Farmer. Funeral services were held at Fort Wayne today for the late William J. Hosey, who served as mayor of that city for seventeen years, retiring three years ago. He made a careful study of municipal affairs and was recognized as one of the best posted men along that line in the entire United States. Honesty and efficiency were his watchwords and even his political opponents, admitted he practiced what he preached. He advocated the elevated tracks in Fort Wayne, the city light and power plant, the water filtration plant and many other improvements. Due honor is being paid to him today by all Fort Wayne and by many people from outside who knew and respected this splendid man. — o All-Negro Jury Serve Walnut Ridge, Ark.

INDIAN* COAL STRIKE THREAT .... —— I Indiana Miners May Be Called Out On Strike Wednesday — Terre Haute. Ind., Sept. 13 <U.P. -Orders for a strike, of Indiana union coal miners Wednesday were held in abeyance today while district officials of the United Mine Worker* organization awaited peace overtures from Indiana coal operators. Frank Barnhart, president of the Indiana union organization, said he had not yet requested autboriza- ; tion from John L. Lewis, interna»tional president, at Washington, i for a strike and refused to enlarge upon possibility of the walkout. "We failed to reach an agree- ■ ment with the operators at Saturday's sub-committee meetings and there is no conference planned today." he said. "If negotiations are resumed, it 1 will have to be at the request of the operators' association.” Barnhart said the union would hold out for the 16 bt.Vc daily wage scale —the issue which has deadlocked the negotiations for a new contract for a period of over , five months. , In regard to a strike of 13.000 I union miners throughout the j state's rich coal fields, if agreement is not reached by Wednesday. he said: "The policy of the international board of the United Mine Workers ! provides that unless a contract is I signed or well on the way to com- ■ pletion by Sept 15 the miners may I be withdrawn from the shafts upon ' petition of district officers " He declined to amplify this statement but the strike was believed imminent in view of the sac. that a contract apparently is far from being "well on the way j to completion." The old contract between the I UMW and the Indiana Coal Operators association expired last March 31. Miners have remained at work during discussion for a new agreement. I The conference for a new contract has been disrupted three times by the union's demand for a 36 scale and the operators' persistent refusal to accede Operators agreed to the 50-cent increase determined at the Appalachian conference last spring, making the Indiana scale 35.57 ■ compared to the $5 paid under the old contract. They refused to
