BEGINING HIS CAMPAIGN
For the Democratic nomination for Congress Hon. George H. Voigt of Jeffersonville will open his Campaign in Perry and Dubois counties next week, and then in Harrison and Orange counties. (From the LoulavllU Anxleger, of December 5, 1909.) Hon. George H. Voigt, of Jeffersonville. who is a
district of Indian will begin his canvass in Perry county nextvelc and then in Dubois Harrison and Orange Counties. Mr. Voight is one of the most prominent Democrats in Indiana. He was a member of th? legislature from Clark and Floyd counties and made a brilliant record, Besides this he is a man of ability and measures large in the Third district. His apppnent W. E. Cox, has had his two terms and many friends who once suppported him think it is time for lim to retire and they will support Mr. Voigt. Mr. Voigt is a Democrat of tne old School, of German parantage and speaks the German language fluently and is proud of it. The Anzieger desires to call attention to the fact that it is the German-Democrats of the Third district, who make that district democratic and without their votes the Democrats would have a hard time electing anyone, and that they have never had a German Democrat to represent them in Congress. We have never heard 01 any remarkable efforts of Mr. Cox in Washington in their behalf. Iii the opinion of the Anzeiger the Democrats of Southern IndiarhV and the Third Congressional district will make no mistake in giving Mr. Voigt their hearty support for Congress both in the t rimaries add at the election. In Clark and Floyd i J ir ii i t- ...in
counties wnere wir. voigt is wen Known ne win secure every German vote And the German Demo- . crats of Perry and Dubois counties will do well to give him a hearty support.

PARIS PAWNSHOPS.
Run by the State, They Are a 3an to Alt Classes of People. The "mont-de-piete," as the French equivalent of the ; .nshop is called, is a state institution. Consequently there is not that friendly communion between the lender and the client that one sees in London. There is no "private office" where the person temporarily embarrassed for money may screen
himself from inquisitive eyes.
RUNNING THE RHEA.

unique form of sport "running the rhea" in southern Patagonia ia recommended. The rhea is a member of the ostrich family, but somewhat iraaller. It runs with the swiitncM of a greyhound, or a fast horse and has a knack of doubling on its track, which often serves it in elud-

What Attracts the Attention ef n Solema Faead Man. Clntx rt tiv orkfifTinrn c fi 1 c m on
brought home the following from his last trip: I The proprietor of a tanyard built i a stand on one of the main streets j of a Virginia town for the purposa
of selling leather and buying new hides. When he had completed the building, he considered for a long time what sort of a sign to put up to attract attention to the new establishment. Finally a happy thought struck him. He borad an auger hole through the doorpost and stuck a calf's tail into it with the tufted end outside. After awhile he saw a lolemn faced man atanding near the door looking at the sign. The tanner watched him a minute and then stepped ou and addressed him. "Good morning, sir!" he said. "Morning!" said the other, without taking his eves off the sign. "Want to buy'leather?" asked the tanner. "Xo "
"Got r.ny hides to sell ?" "Xo." "Are von a farmer?"
