O--O .The Fred Bays meeting at Bluffton Jast night was one ot the most enthusiastic political events held la this district in a long time. Fred stirs bis audiences with the real spirit because be believes what he preaches. —o Bids will be received (or the turbine and boiler for the city plant on November Ist and no doubt there will be reasonable bid;, that will permit the letting. The work of building the machinery and installing it is expected to require almost a year. —o *Thos»- who throw paint, break windows or otherwise mar or destroy property with an idea they are having fun as the Halloween season approaches, may find they are guilty of malicious trespass which is a rather serious crime under the statutes ot Indiana. —o The Blue Creek drainage project will lie one of the largest ever attempted in the county, important in its conveyance of water from Qiousands of acres into the St. Mary's river. Like all public improvements it has Its boosters and also its doubters. It will be an Interesting proceedure to follow. o—o *• Jack Dempsey who made three or four millions with bls fists and spent it has come back and is again worth about a million with sestaurants tn New York City aud Xhami and with many other activities which prove be has become >iwe And he is more respected Uns than in his old reckless days. O 0 We bear little about the tight Ing ot cavalry and lufantry on the western trout as we did in the world war. The strategy ot Germany seems to be. flrat. destroy fr damage the British fleet and fight in the air. This is a flew war and not like any thing •ver fought before and there may be many surprises before it's over. O—O • The banquet and reception for Fred Major. Decatur young man recently elected grand master ot the ptate I. O. O. F. will be held next Thursday evening with a banquet at the First Christian church aud a reception at Lincoln school. Mr. Major deserves much credit tor his excellent showing in slate lodge work and his many friends will be happy to honor him You will eujoy the bicycle carnival tonight tor the program is of

■ great'interest. The parade will be held at 7:18 and the public demon afration will be held at Lincoln School at eight o'clock. ' Don Lash. f»minis Hoosier athlete and holder ot many records for running la the feature speaker here today. He addressed the school children thia afternoon, will apeak at Rotary thia evening and will attend the public demonstrations. D. C. Stephenson's petition tor a new trial In the Noblesville circuit court was denied by Judge Gentry, the former head of the KKK thus losing his thirty-second effort to go free. Immediately afterwards his attorneys tiled a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, an action previously decided by | the supreme court several years ago. Getting out of prison doesn't seem so easy these days. —o The sugar factory is stepping along and already almost half the I beet crop has been delivered at the yards. The big plant Is elklug about 1.450 tons per day. exceeding last year's run and the beets are testing out with about a 15% sugar content. So tar the campaign has been very satisfactory except the sugar is moving slower than was anticipated due no doubt to the large buying movement of a few weeks ago. o’o ■' • A bunch of men with loud voices and a stack of newspapers with scare headline did quite a business here for several hours, charging the unsuspecting public live cents for a paper printed many hours before and containing no particular news of interest that hadn't appeared in the local paper hi the afternoon. That's one way < to increase sales hut we doubt if it adds to the popularity of the | paper which indulges in take : means of selling. n—o “Business this month Is the best for any October in ten years. The United States has experienced one of the most sensational boomlets in its history in the last two j months. Figures gathered from i all over the country, which 1 found ( on my des* on my return from the Far East, tell a spectacular story. Business is now 22 per cent above . a year ago and within two per j < '-ni of ihe 19.17 peak’ ICM hard- < ly believe that business has soared so rapidly. Yet, the figures which I have at hand do not lie. I They show that textile mills, auto- * mobile factories, machine tool ’ shops, steel mills, railroads, plants, lumber camps, aud ship- 1 yards are bristling with activity. When 1 sailed out of the Golden < Rate on August 25, the temper- ' atute of business was 87 degrees ' according to my Babson chart. To- , day it is 113 degrees compared with the 1837 high of ill degrees and the 1829 all-time peake of 122 degrees.”—By Roger Babson. O—O This country is not at war ajid hopes to escape entanglements in any international conflicts, but is taking no chances on what might happen. The newspapers have carried Items frequently ot troop movements to Panama. The country has been told how fleets of bombing planes have goue from our coast to Hawaii. We are rushing defense measures in Puerto Rico. We have a naval base In Cuba which is In readiness for the maximum of usefulness in case of trouble coming to thia country, and 1 nobody is able to guarantee that I It will not come. The precautions taken to safeguard the Panama canal are specially important and 1 timely. While the Panama canal belongs to us. it is a most import--1 ant Ihik In the routes of world 1 trade. It would be to the advantage of Germany, for example, to put it out of commission, not as a blow at us so much as a hand!1 cap to British and Freuch routes of supply. We are. In fact, custodian of the "Canal for world use - as well as owner of it. We owe 1 au obligation to neutrals as wellj
