MR. SH1VELY.

3 I--*"

President Wilson's letter urging the people to return Senator Benjamin F. Shively to the senate Is probably the highest tribute the executive has paid one of his able assistants. The president commends Mr. Shively for his devotion to duty and his high sense of responsibility' to the people and the president makesfit patent that he leans on the Indiana senator for counsel aod for assistance during the present crucial days of the.administration. The president has emphasized his position in this regard. It Is made apparent by the president's letter that the congress, which has been in practically continuous session for seventeen months, is I about to adjourji oiver to December.

It is equally evident that the foreign fl war has thrown upon the chief execbtive an extraordinary weight of duties which will leave him no time to take any part in the coming congressional

campaign.

That campaign from the democratic side calls for no such effort The renorMnacle is one which speaks for itself To have reformed the tariff, to have ~-H, lightened the burde.n of taxation on the consumption of 'the masses, to have restored the* nation's regard for the sanctity of treaties in the Panama canal tolls legislation, to have cleared 'up the debatable ground around the anti-trust laws, to have opened the way for the restoratfb& of the American merchant marine—these are among the acts of this sixty-third congress to date which make the president understate rather thai^ overstate the truth when he says that It has been "more fruitful in important legisj* lation of permanent usefulness to the country than any other session of congress within the memory of the active public men of our generation."

The record calls for no pretense. It only calls for a "plain statement of things actually done."

Maple Avenue church with liguresj .showing that that church has thelargest Junior league in the world. The report in the Tribune relative to this development of church work directs attention to the present effort to direct the youth to the influence of the Sunday school.

Reports gathered by the Indiana Sunday School association from each county in the state show that through organized and persistent efforts these schools have reached a point in the number of pupils, in teaching forces and in higher officials, where the Sunday schools rank in size and strength with the public schools of the state. There are 5,215 Sunday schools with 556,331 pupils, ranging in age from infants on the 2,461 cradle rolls to the gray-haired members of the adult bible classes. The officers and teachers number 63,994. The report shows that ervery Sunday there is an average of 348,642 Hoosiers, young and old, who answer the call of the school bells.

The state association Is a compact organization reaching every county. It is making persistent effort to organize the Sunday schools of the 1,016 townships, and In many counties the full organized force has befen perfected. The association is working along these organized lines not only to maintain the present number of pupil^ and the standard of religious education, but to draw Indiana boys and girls, fathers and mothers, into the Sunday schools in still greater numbers. There are 762,927 Indiana children from 6 to 21 years old, and the total state popula tion is 2,700,876, the figures showing that 2,080,551 of the state's population is not on the Sunday school member ship rolls.

TRIUMPHS OF PEACE.

While the nations of Europe fly at each other's throat, while Mr. Roose velt and Mr. Penrose try to annihilate each other with verbal bombardments, while Mr. Perkins besieges Mr. Roberts in the city hall, while all these signs and portents of carnage and unrest thrill the soul, while all this is happening there comes the restful solace in the news that pumpkin pie is in season.

In the days when that indefinable tinge comes to the skies, when the tang of autumn is in the air, first message of the coming change of the seasons, when the verdure of the fields and the woods takes on the glorious colors that beautify the departure of the summer days* when the toiling hu:/ ban.Jirjaij gathers his corn into shocks, the^e lie revealed In the fields the yellow pumpkin, proof of the forethought of the planter, evidence of the fertility of the soil, promise of gastronomic delights in the days when the winter wind shall test one's mettle.

That rounded yellow pumpkin, ripened in the summer sun, promises a joy that comes to full fruition only in the autumn or in the midst of winter. Given over to the skill and wisdom of the housewife, it is put in shape for the family to feast and fatten upon.

Of generous dimensions, open faced, possessed of an appetizing appeal, possessing no quality and containing no ingredient that produces human Ills, the entire message of the pumpkin pie is

The Weather Man—

The weather gods are fond of jokes, and they are always taking pokes at this poor weather man they ridicule his every word and make his prophesies absurd and spoil his fairest plan.

He says, "To-morrow will be fair, with sunny skies and sparkling air, I'll bet my liver pad." And Father Firkin, reading this, says to his wife, "The woods I miss—we need au outing

one of human delight, its only purpose the satisfaction of normal appetite. It is a detveloper of domestic joy. Its appeal is to the growing boy or girl of wondrous appetite, to the man whose labor calls for food which builds up, to the aged who bends beneath the weight of years., Some things in this world are transitory but pumpkin pie, secure in the hearts of patriots, can nevtfr perish.

FARM KNOWLEDGE.

Many letters are being received by the department of agriculture which indicate that farm women in various sections of the country have come to believe that the government is about to assist them with grants of money to individuals. This unfortunate mistake which, It is feared, will be the cause of considerable disappointment, appears to have arisen through a misunderstanding of the Smith-LeVer act recently passed by congress. Under this act funds contributed both by the federal and state governments are made available for practical demon stration work in agriculture and home economics. Experts from the agricultural colleges and county agents, both men and Women,'are to show farmers and farm women the value of modern methods in agriculture and housekeeping, and demonstrate the use of laborsaving' devices. The purposes of the act are thus entirely education and there are no provisions whatever for direct financial assistance.

This demonstration work which the Smith-Lelver act is designed to promote has already met with considei# ab|e success in the states where it has been started, but the additional funds now available will greatly Increase its efficiency. To avail themselves to the full of its possibilities the department officials recommend that farm women form local clubs and then communi

And when the morning comes, thvy start, with gentle rapture in each heart, to sample woodland joys the parents trudge along in front, Aunt Susan does her 'customed stunt and herds the girls and boys. They reach the woods, a cheerful crowd, and then a big, black, inky cloud encompassesi it ful crash, the winds cavort, the lightnings flash, and not a roof is nigh.

At evening—rain still pouring down t—a weary bunch drills back to town, old Firkin in the lead and as through mud and ooze he plods, the vows he swears, by all the gods, would make your bosom bleed. "I will not rest or sIee.p," he cries, "until I punch that prophet's eyes and twist his nose, by. heck!

MEDALS FOR BRAVERY.

During the Franco-Prussian war some 40,000 German soldiers were decorated with the Iron Cross. During the present war there has been a generous distribution. There are even stories of satchels full of the decorations being captured by the French, crosses made of light grey castings.

The Victoria Cross of Great Britain and the Cross of the Legion of Honor of France are, like the Iron Cross, bestowed for distinguished bravery the field of battle. The bravery may be of any kind, and requires only reliable attestation.

The United States decoration of the Medal of Honor Is of a far different significance. To win this badge courage a soldier must distinguish himself "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity, at the risk of his life, beyond the call of duty." No soldier, no matter how courageous his conduct on the field of battle, can receive the Medal of Honor unless he has gone beyond his actual duty. A

The total number of Medals ^f Honor granted by the government is less than 4,000. A few were bestowed on men who participated In the recent taking of Vera Cruz. The recipients may justly hold that the medal is the most honorable bestowed by any nation of the world.

A gang of burglarious Invaders are looting Indianapolis, and what hurts the town most Is the fact that the burglars carry away their plunder in an ordinary delivery wagon when they should use an auto truck.

It Js said that the rheumatism which is afflicting the British soldiers makes them fight all the more fiercely. Probably a touch of neuralgia or gout would turn them into demons.

A common sort of mistaken economy is exemplified by the Clinton man who refused to pay $5 to spend the night in a Chicago hotel, slept In a park and was robbed of $3a0.

The war wits are having sport with correspondent Paul Rohrbach's name.. But a good deal more fun can be found in the roorbacks that are signed "Official."

According to Gen. Joubert, the German army is the finest machine in the world. Now the French leaders would haJve us believe it is a flying machine.

Mr. Cade really ought to have something for this fine weather. How would an iron cross do—or, maybe, a doublecross?

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Saturday, October 3, 1914.

Astrologers And this an uncertain day, for, while the sun and Neptune are in beneflc aspect, Saturn Is strongly adverse.

The leading of the stars Is most fortunate for whatever concerns shipping interests. There is an evil omen, however, for the Pacific ocean, where "a shape of fear" may rise from the east.

As the friendly aspects of Neptune incline to success and benefit through foodstuffs, this should be a profitable rule for provision dealers, exporters and manufacturers of canned fruits or vegetables.

Neptune is in a place read as indicative of a tremendous growth of socialism. In England it is predicted that railway and postoffice employes will cause trouble, owing to the agitation of leaders in the movement.

Scandals in hospital management are foreshadowed by the stars. These will be uncovered In Great Britain and Germany as a result of the exactions of war, the seers declare.

There is a prophecy that Merico will
