One advantage of holding the world series in the east is that it comes through early and is all over by the middle of the afternoon. It certainly should not take so much publicity to stop the gambling in Hancock county. It's against the law and Governor Townsend is right when he declares it cannot go on. Six or seven hundred women from central Indiana visited the sugar plant and soy bean factory yesterday and needless to say were surprised and deeply interested in the process and its mag nitude. The gas rates have been approved by the public service commission and the changes will soon be made here and in Fort Wayne and Bluffton, assuring high grade fuel, plenty of it and at as low cost as it can be rendered. One thing about those Yanks that may console the fans of other teams is that the main cogs of the machine are growing older each year. Several of them are well up in the thirties and have perhaps seen their best days. The corn crop it is reported is about fifty million bushels larger titan was estimated a month ago. due to the September weather which was about perfect for the late crop. This will mean a slight drop in the prices and is expected to effect the retail prices of meats in due time. The world will agree v.ith the Roosevelt statement: "If civilization is to survive, the principles of the Prince of Peace must be restored. Shattered trust between nations must be revived." A crisis is on and the battle so far as the United States is concerned, is to save democracy. It is said There is less general' interest in the result of the world series than ever in the history of the great national game. The 1 country at large is somewhat tired of sub way series and the crowds in attendance this year are largely made up of New York and Brooklyn fans. King Carl Hubbell was knocked off his throne in the sixth inning of the first world series game when "Lefty” Gotnez walked anti murderer's row began butting the ball over the field like nobody's business. Up to that time Hubbell, had pitched one hit ball and seemed to have the game under control The strikers in the Joliet prison are sure to get the worst of their foolish performance. Locked in cells they can do nothing but starve by refusing the food offered them and if they wish to do that, society will not worry much. They, hardened criminals, most of them at least, and have in no way earned special treatment. Hoover. Lowden aud Laudon. met to talk things over aud agreed,

' on something, just what, no one seems to know. They are iu a mess and know it. Take the first letters of their names and insert an "E" after the letter "H" and i that's what it is to try to inaugurate a plan that will suit the conservatives, yet capture the progressives. Any one who can supply that can have Hamilton's job' NOW. Keep on working for the com muuity. This is the best one you can find any where and we are growing and going. A new $250.000 school building will help. Additions to our manufacturing plants, new and modern homes and apartments, business houses, a public auditorium and other improvements are in the not very distant offing. We are on the way to be one of the ideal small cities of America. Don't stop. The community welcomes all visitors and this includes those men who are temporarily here to complete the hooking up of the gas mains. Most of them are nice fellows who attend to their business and cause no trouble, but as is usual in a group of this kind there are a few who seem to derive greatest pleasure from carousing aud fighting. These should and perhaps already do understand that this is a peaceable city, where such things are not long permitted. The people of this nation liked the attitude of the President in his Chicago speech. It was the address of a man. unafraid, but preferring peace to war. It was heard around the world, receiving the approval of England. France and Russia, but not so agreeable in Japan, Germany and Italy. It is a terrible thing that the world iu this day and age of education and supposed reason, will permit the bombarding of women and chil drew and uou-combattauts, for the benefit of a few. The rest of the I world should say no to such acts and mean it. When President Roosevelt drove through Hood River, Ore., the other day someone on the sidewalk tossed a package at bis automobile. Alert secret service men instantly knocked it down. When they opened it. they found it contained flowers and a hand-embroidered handkerchief. An elderly woman said that she had thrown it; she meant it for a present for Mrs. Roosevelt. Her charming little gesture came to a sad end. and the woman doubtless felt bad about it. Yet what is the secret service to do? There are just enough homicidal nit wits on earth to justify them in fearing that such a package, sailing out of a mixed crowd, might contain a bomb. They were right in doing what they did. But one can't help wishing that such care was uu necessary. Dr. J. Halsey Gulick, headmaster I of an academy, let the boys of his school find out for themselves that 1 slot machines are mechanical picki pockets. Instead of preaching against the evils of gambling. Dr. Gulick obtained a confiscated slot machine, placed it in the school, aud asked the mathematics teachers to provide a problem involving the law of mathematical probability. The pupils were given spurious money to play the machines in the solution of the problem. The hoys discovered a number of interesting. withal convincing, facts, among them that the "jack pot,” paying $5. was hit only once in 1.000 times, or in other words, they fed 3200 into the machine to get $5. Other winnings, in reality losses, wore in the same proportion. The pupils of this school no longer throw their money into a slot machine. — Richmond Pallad- ' ium. r TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File | ♦ ♦ Oct. 7, 1917 was SundayAbner Cox of Hartford City visit‘ed in Decatur Wednesday.

Oct 7 Twenty-six bundled Indiana young men aud i boys between the ages of 17 and 23 years will be selected for membership in the civilian conserva-, tion corps. October 15. Fred Hoke. I director of the state selecting i agency announced here today In announcing the quota and enrollment date Mr. Hoke was explicit in pointing out the value of the CCC in training youth for | places in private industry. "The main objective of the civil-1 lan conservation corps is to train [ and place American youth in pertnaneut jobs iu private industry . I Many other worthwhile objectives.' such as Improving body and mind . aud strengthening morale are, achieved in this process, but the; goal toward which every effort is i made is to train and inculcatei habits that will make CCC en- 1 rollees desirable employees." Hoke . said. Commenting on the advantages ! a boy or young man may obtain in • the CCC. Mr. Hoke said. "Besides , training on the job. each camp has an educational advisor. Classes ; in the ordinary grade school subI jects are held for those needing a better educational foundation. Ad- ■ ditional classes, such as civics, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping mechanics, drawing, photography i i and others are held for those inter-1 I ested. Attendance is uot coinpul- J I gory, but camp advisors urge I youths to take advantage of the I classes " Hoke pointed out that patriotism was taught and respect for Ameri-! can principles was stressed but in no way are the boys considered as soldiers, nor are they under any military discipline.
