Another thing suggested by the late crop of potatoes is that if Indiana soil was irrigated, late potatoes could be raised every fall, no matter how dry it was. Some people jmight laugh at the suggestion of irrigation in Indiana, and say that it Js unnecessary to irrigate, and that the expense would fir exceed the profits. Of course, thv^re is so little fneed of irrigation in Indiana that it will probably never be a great part of the agricultural industry, but with the inexhaustible supply of water in many sec'tions of the state, wind pumps now in use dould be applied to small tracts of land such as potatoes are raised on to good effect without much extra expense.

The wind pumps could still be used for the regular purposes of watering stock, etc.

Vest Cough Medicine Fop Children. "Three years ago when I was living in Pittsburg one of my children had a hard cold and coughed dreadfully. Upon the advice of a druggist I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it benefited him at once. I find it the best cough medicine for Children because it is pleasant to take. They do not object to taking it," writes Mrs. Lafayette Tuck, Homer City, Pa. This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as confidently as to an adult.

CROP THIS YEAR

SHOWS THAT SOIL IS GOOD FOR ANY CROP —IRRIGATION MIGHT WORK WONDERS

OF DRY SEASONS.

Large potatoes are no'novelties this fall. In fact, almost everybody says when large potatoes are exhibited: "W!hy, I have potatoes that are larger myself." It is a fact that there are many large late potatoes. The largest probably seen in many years, and the quality is exceptionally fine. The early crop of potatoes was almost a failure, and people feared that their late potatoes would be no belter than the early potatoes. The dry weather continued so long and it was so late in the summer before the rains came, people preisffdicted that the price of potatoes would be high, and that they would w. have to be shipped into Hancock county for local consumption, but »*3*the late potato crop is a bumper, feln addition to the advantage of

Shaving plenty of home grown pota- *. toes at reasonable prices, there are -other reasons of congratulations. •&UOne of them is that we have a soil that will produce almost any crop if it is given a half chance. Indiana m'is a good state which to live. It produces a great variety of crops, and there is never a famine such as occur in states which are limited to a few products. The season is never so unfavorable that Indiana is not in pretty good shape as to :inany of her products. Even the •_ dry weather this year, which cut down the corn crop, made a large yield in clover seed, which is selling at a good price.

Despondency Due to Indigestion. It is not at all surprising that persons who have indigestion become discouraged and despondent. Here are a few words of hope and cheer for them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers, Indiana, Pennsylvania. "For years my digestion was so poor that I could only'eat the lightest foods. I tried everything that I heard of to ^vt relief, but not until about a year ago when I saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised and got a Dottle of them, did I find the right treatment. I soon began to improve, and since taking a few bottles oi them my digestion is fine." For sale by all dealers. (Advertiserilent.) r.

Has Not Broken With A. A. A. Indianapolis, October 31.—Reports to the effect that the Indianapolis motor speedway contemplated breaking with the American Automobile Association, the governing body of the sport, were decisively refuted today by the aamouaeemeait that the speedywey had arranged for official sanction of its next 500-mile event by the parent organization.

The fact that the speedway in the future will conduct manufacturers' tests on its own responsibility, whieh gave rise to rumors of a possible disagreement, is declared to be well founded, similar tests having been conducted by the Chicago Automobile Club, without A. A. A. sanction nor, it is stated, is there any animus manifested toward the A. A. A. by the speedway in taking such action. Relations between the governing association and the speedway are described as being of the friendliest sort, especially in view of the harmony which, it is stated, should be preserved to insure the success of the impending contest season, now looming up most favorably.

Important.

Bear in mind that Chamberlain's Tablets not only move the bowels, but,' improve the appetite -and strengthen the digestion. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement.)
