Hope you didn’t forget to pay : your taxes in the campaign rush. Two bank holidays this week. election today and Armistice day on Friday. The campaign is over and it remains only to count the votes. Returns will be received at this office. Well the weather was about perfect for the entire campaign so there is nothing to complain about along that line. The Krick-Tyndall fund must be completed this week if we desire to have the big mill rebuilt and the hundred men returned to work. Voted yet? It not, better hurry for every ballot cast is important. The polls close at six o'clock. Perhaps you can make it. The season approaches when it will be dangerous to travel over the highways except by using the utmost care. Icy aud slippery roads go with the winter season and it's wise to keep control of your car. Thanksgiving is near, coming . early this year, the 24th, two weeks from Thursday and we have many things to be grateful t for. We live in a peaceful nation with many natural resources and a happy people. The men who have worked at < the Krick-Tyndall plant as well as numerous local trades people are strong for its reconstruction and 1 every one of them is more than willing to do his full share. They deserve the support of the people ot this community. In this country we conduct elections each two years. T.-rey are important and always interesting, but the fine thing is that when they are over we are again good neighbors and friends, working together for the best interests of i the greatest number of people. You are welcome to call this office tonight for election returns Telephone 1,000. We have arranged r-j receive the returns as soon as they are counted from over the county. Please be specific in your requests for information in order that we may answer all calls as promptly as possible. fflgßgC3.Tr" .m. san Do you realize that Christmas will be here six weeks from next Sunday aud everyone has so much to do to get ready for the occas- ' ion. It’s not too early to select gifts and have them laid away and , it does get a lot of worry off one's mind to have these duties of love 1 out of the way. Last-minute charges do not help > a candidate very much but they ' will probably always be used by some of those who seek office or by their friends The modern 1 campaign however is much clean- j <

A few hundred dollars will complete the 810,000 fund for the rebuilding of the Krick-Tyndall, ' plant, assure us of a 8200,000 concern on the tux duplicate and return a hundred men to work at i good wages. We believe it Will continue to grow and will become an outstanding concern of Its kind for the entire state. 1— The sudden death of Judge Mills of Portland caused great sorrow • here for he was well and favorably . known. A lawyer of ability ami experience, he had proven one of the ablest jurists in this part of the state. He conducted court here on several occasions and Was regarded by attorneys as a fair 1 and impartial judge. It is about time to prove or disprove the polls, straw votes ami guesses of the wise oues. Usually they are very accurate, though two years ago they all missed it I and one national magazine was forced out of business because of j its wild predictions. When these polls get so perfect they can be I absolutely relied upon, they are going to take a lot of the fun out of the campaigns. The autumn weather is here and j from now on every one will bi looking for wearing apparrel for the cold season. Prognosticators inform us that the winter is to be severe. The people will need and want warm clothing. Wise merstores. This paper is read daily by some 15,000 people who live | and prefer to trade in this radius. I Tell them what you have. Let j ing from home merchants who will back up each sale. In other words advertise consistently. It pays. Ohio and Arkansas furnished the most unusual or freak incidents during the 1938 campaign. t In Ohio the senatorial candidates, taking a tip from Lincoln and ; Douglas, met in a series of six debates on New Deal policies aud . "standing room only' signs were hung out for each political meeting where they met. The idea was . to arouse the voters from their apparent inertia and add excitement to the campaign. It did this all right, and had another wholesome effect. It kept the candidates. both speaking from the same platform, from injecting personal ’ ities into the campaign. In Gar- I j land county, Arkansas, goat glands < were an issue. Jay Rowland, Hot Springs attorney and candidate for ‘ state senator, promised, if elected, . to introduce a bill in the legislature giving all men over 60, if they ! i so desired, goat gland treatment . tor the purpose of personal rejuvenation. This is an entirely 1 new wrinkle to garner votes of older men and women. We may ( expect to see the Indiana Republicans trying it out in 1940. i o Household Scrapbook ||' By Roberta Lee ( < * « Cleaning Hair Brushes It is exceedingly important to wash the hair brushes r'-gularly. , Dissolve two tablespoons powdered borax in boiling water, adding . enough lukewarm soapsuds to make , two quarts.

They took her to a stone quarry near here, bound and gagged her and administered a drug, she said, before n searching party discovered her in a cave a short distance ' front the quarry Sunday night. Although her father, Arthur Mellinger, Indianapolis carpenter, said he believed her story, he doubted whether she was kidnaped for ransom. He told Peterson he had little money and that his daughter probably was mistaken for some other girl. Physicians who examined the girl said she had not been assaulted, and that she now is In “normal" condition, ready to return to school. Bloomington police were skeptical of the kidnap story. "We have found nothing to indicate a kidnaping." Police Chief Claude Meyers said. Only clue they had was a brown sweater-jacket, believed to be a man's, found in a corn field near the quarry.
