OCTOBER CRIES “BOO” AND JACK FROST VANISHES

’■ I ■■ . Where, oh where are the “melancholy days" of which the poet sang as always coming in October? October has certainly been on its good behavior and people in Rensselaer have talked of little else during the past few weeks, even unto the excltision of politics and other important subjects. The first killing frost in this section usually makes its appearance in October, but September has provided the only killing frost this year and then it was

only killing in spots, many garden spots having remained untouched. Tomatoes continue to appear <on the . market in large quantities and nothing has happened in the way of low temperature this month to interne with late vegetation. People 'are giving an evidence of a new kind of restlessness, something akin to spring fever, produced by the unusual weather conditions. The sparkling cool mornings, the iodg, pleasant evenings have combined with summer temperature of midday to , invite people out of doors.

There is a feeling prevalent that such weather as this is too good to be true, and that one must make tiie most of it because this day may be the last Snow may fall tomorrow and ice may come. But in 'the meantime we are beginning to realize what is meant by the designation “Indian Summer.” In respects, other than the temperature, conditions have been very reminiscent of autumn. The countryside has assumed its weirdly picturesque garb, while all over -the city multicolored leaves are being wafted to 'the sidewalks, inspiring the beautiful bon-fires, warm reminders of the actuality of summer.

G. O. P. WATCHES OVER FARMER

INTERESTS OF FARMER EMBODIED IN THE REBUBLI-• CAN PLATFORM. Moses Leopold, Rensselaer, Ind. Republican County Chairman. My Dear Sir:— The Agricultural Department of the Republican National Committee was instituted last January. Not as a pre-election expedient alone, bat in response to the vision of Chairman Hays, who believes that the future history of this country will be determined by the -problem of food; its production, its distribution, its cost and by the depletion of the soil’s fertility, and the loss of its young people. He realized also that, one Summer’s drought such*as many of us have seen and which may come again,- would put this prosperous country in want. Thereupon he resolved to take the organization under him and. use it towards the protection of the nation’s .food resources. ’ This Department of the National Committee is a continuing orje. The

Republican party Jias been committed unreservedly to a constructive national policy toward agriculture and it wifi need leaders, like yourself, to aid in developing it on sound lines that may be safely applied. Speaking for Chairman Hays: It is his purpose to enlist, regardless of their political party preferences, the officers of farm organizations, together with strong editors of farm journals, -Presidents of agricultural colleges, and political economists, to formulate and suggest legislation in harmony with Senator Harding’s expressed views, and those of men who have given thought to the subject, based on actual experience. If Governor Cox should be elected, which we do not expect, a concerted action between the Republican Chairman and Republican members of Congress will be the more imperative, though less potent, in developing the policy he 'has in My connection with the National Committee will soon terminate and I yrish to thank you most cordially for your co-operation in a patriotic effort to secure a safe administration of our government. Faithfully yours, HUBERT WORK.

TWO WORKMEN INJURED; NARROW ESCAPE FOR DOCTOR

•A. G. Bader of the Winamac Construction company, and another ’workman whose name has not been learned, were injured and Dr. Crocket, of Lafayette, had a narrow escape from death when the automobile of the latter struck the abutment Of the temporary bridge spanning the Oliver ditch just west of Newland between six and seven o’clock Friday evening. The machine struck the two workmen who were sitting on the abutanenit and narrowly missed plunging over the thirty-foot embankment into the ditch. _ ~ The bridge over the ditch at this point was taken out several mouths ago to permit the dredge to pass through, and since that time a temporary bridge has served in its stead. Dr. Crockett was not familiar With the road and his machine was but a few feet away from the open ditch when he noticed his predicament. The car struck a five foot drop just in front of the abutment; the front wheels in some way leaping civer the drop and striking the abutment. The machine skidded, but Dr. Crockett was able to right it-before it plunged over the embankment. Both of the men sitting on the abutment were struck in the back by the car, and were knocked ante the ditch, suffering vefy j»inful bruises. Mr. Bader also suffered a deep wound in the scalp, ur. Crockett was uninjured. Dr. Kresler, who was a classmate of Dr, Crockett at Purdue, fortunately happened by a few moments after the accident occurred and attended the injured men.

KNEW McCRAY 40 YEARS.

John Bower of Benton county has known Warren T. McCray for forty years. Twenty-five years ago Mr. McCray bought his original farm in Newton county, just across the road from where the buildings on Orchard Lake stock farm are located, and where Mr. Bower then lived. Five years later Mr. McCray bought Mr. Bower’s farm, when he moved to Benton county. The Orchard Lake stock farm, according to Mr. Bower, is where Mr. McCray has made most of his money and it is where his chief interest Bes at this time . When a young man, he became a clerk in his father’s hank in Kentland,later buying and conducting a grocery, and still later entering the grain business. When his father re-tired as president of the bank, he quite naturally took his place.

His big stock farm is known all over the state as the home of one of toe finest herds of pure bred Hereford s m the country. He has done much to advance the cattle business to this never done business with a more fair or square business man.
