Representative Crumpacker Given Praise By Two Newspapers.

Kentland Enterprise. Judge Crumpacker’s selection as the Indiana member pf the republican national committee places him in a commanding position in the conduct of the campaign next fall. Judge Crumpacker is easy the ablest man Indiaha has had in congress for several years. As chairman of the census committee he has one of the most important places in the house of representatives, and now as member of the republican national committee his influence will be nation-wide.

Concerning his position in congress the Gary Tribune says: “Judge Crumpacker is not a “Cannon” man in the sense of following the behests of the speaker. He is opposed to the war on the insurgents which the Cannon men desire to force on the president. He is an all round republican who, in the event of the success of his party next fall, may well seek the speakership for which he 'has been named so many times.

“Some of the papers of the Tenth district speak of Judge Crumpacker holding his seat in Congress too long. They want a change. They think he has had enough. “There is no sense in this kind of talk. The place for a congressman is not a prize to be given for party work. The place is one where the member can be of value to his constituents and to the nation. Position and influence in congress are gained only after years of service. Judge Crumpacker has attained both. Yet some newspapers would turn him out because he has held the office long enough, they say, and put a man in his place who would not know Washington when his train reached there. Such a man would be absolutely useless to the Tenth district and to the nation for at least his first term."

Owing to the continued advance of flour and the fact that us Quakers are on the “square,” we will continue to give 16 oz. to the pound and maintain the high standard and quality in our loaves of Quaker bread. We will be compelled on and after February Ist, 1910, to sell our bread at 6c straight and advance the wholesale price onehalf cent per loaf. This is not done to get rich quick, hut to meet our wholes sale bills promptly. I would rather be a good fellow in rags than to be rich anyway. To be rich I would not know how to act, but to be poor, that’s my long suit. Tours truly, THE MODEL BAKER, by GEO. FATE, The Fat Dinner Man.
