E. B Chester, residing southwest of the city, will soon have the biggest '‘walking’” plow in the country. It now sits in front of the Maxwell implement store, where it is a curiosity for many who pass. The plow throws a furrow 24 inches wide; the length of the implement from the handles to .the end of the beam is 12 feet, and it weighs 350 pounds. Six horses or an engine will be required to pull it, and no one man can lift it from the furrow. Mr. Chester bought it to plow in wild, rooty ground.—Valparaiso Vidette.

Thanksgiving this year falls on November 26, and when we think of the terrible conditions in Europe as a result of the great war there, we certainly have a whole lot to be thankful for. The United States is at peace with the whole world, for

which condition the present national administration is entitled to the gratitude of all the people of America, and more prayers will go up on Thanksgiving day that this condition may continue than ever before in the history of this country. POLITICAL NOTES. Vote NO on the propostion of spending $2,000,000 for a centepnial celebration in 1916, and YES on the constitutional convention question.

The election will be held next Tuesday and it behooves every democrat to come out to the polls and vote early. Vote in the forenoon, if you can possibly do so, as It makes it much easier on the ones detailed to get out the vote to know that you have voted, and everyone should come out and express their sentiments at the polls. It is just as easy in most cases for one to vote during the forenoon as it is to wait until along toward evening, and The Democrat especially urges its readers to come out and register their vote early in the day.

Local politics Mas been quite lively all week and there has been more hustling on the part of candidates perhaps than for several years. Democrats know that we usually have to “draft" men in to get them to consent to run for office on the democratic tickets in Jasper county, and after they have drafted and get out and make a campaign, with the loss of time and expense such campaign means to them, they naturally want to make a respectable showing, at least, and the democrats of Jasper county owe it to these men to give them their hearty support. Come out next Tuesday and do YOUR part, now that they have done theirs.

The Democrat wants to urge upon the voters of Marion tp., the fact that they should support Edward Herath for township trustee. Mr. Herath is a good clean man, exceptionally well qualified to fill the office, apd he will not be obliged to devote much more than half of his time-^—with a consequent saving to the taxpayers—to the duties of the office. Until he moved to town and engaged In business here, owing to his being troubled with rheumatism, Mr. Herath followed farming and was known as one of the best and most intelligent farmers in Marion tp. When you go to vote next Tuesday, don’t forget Ed Herath for trustee.
