The affair i{s designed to be a big community masqued ball with everybody Jjoining in the festivities. It is the one night in the year whea Ligonier tears loose from her moorings and goes in for a good time. There is to be no restraints this year if the suggestions of the committee are carried out. S

It is proposed to rope off a section of Cavin street so that the revelers may have full sway old and young and be safe from vehicle molestation. Prizes will be offered of sufficient value to attract competition. A full program of attractions and the list of premiums will be worked out in a few days. ' Ligonier proposes to do herself proud in the way of a real Hallowe'en celebration in this year of 1920. - As the program materializes the Banner will set forth a list of the beats which are bound to draw the people from miles around. - The merchants and captains of industry of Ligonier have had a prosperous year. ‘So have the farmers and factory workers and it is but natural that all these forces should join in a big celebration and on common ground. : : As the circus booster would say, “Watch For the Big Bills.” ' There may not be any.big bills advertising this annual evemt for the newspaper announcements should be sufficient.

In the meantime it might be as we!l to notify miublic that it may safely get ready for, “the time of its life.” A committee*will call on the moving spirits of Ligonier in a few days for the means of financing this community affair. : : . :

Here You Have It VanCouver, B. C., Oct. 9.—Election of Senator Warren G. Haring to the Presidency of the United States wiil mean the ultimate ratification of the League of Nations with reéservations and “the elimination of all further dispute,” Willlam Howard Taft declared upon his arrival here today at the head of the Arbitration Board of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. : And Here You Don’t.

~ San Francisco, Oct. B.—Senator Hiram W. Johnson before leaving for the East to stump for Harding said: Some time ago I remarked that Senator Harding had scrapped the League.” This was denied by gome wabbly gentlemen and some left-hand-ed newspapers. They may yet insist that he has not scrapped it; he only truned his back upon its obligations and seeks its rejection. The Senator’s forthright stand upon this issue has given him the enthusiasm in this campaign and will give him on overwhelming victory in November.

> Gov. Cox In Fort Wayne. : Gov. Cox spoke to 20,000 people in Fort Wayne Wednesday evening. The crowd to hear him in Lafayette earlier in the day was a large one. All voters seem anxious to hear the great advocate of the league of nations. Quite a number of Ligonier residents attended the Fort Wayhe meeting and were delighted with the democratic presidential candidate. iy Now Slxer, Scoundrels.

THE MARKET DAY ; First One Fairly Successful For Be‘ginaner With Chance For Development -

Consensuz of opinion among the merchants of Ligonier is that the first Market Day last Monday was succes:ful as a starter. It {s believed that future efforts along thel ine will prove more satisfactory. » v - The pubiic sale feature was & complete failure, no goods or stock being offered at auction. This feature of the day will have to be improved and developed. The development will only come with a good deal of effort on the part of the organization.

Then it I 8 recognized that Monday is not the logical day for Ligonler to hold bargain sales. i

- Ligonier is a great Saturday night town and merchants do not get their stocks rearranged until Monday noon. And Monday is established “wash day’ for nine-teuths of the women on the farm. ‘ o " b

"~ 8o Market -Day will probably be charged to Wednesday. Thesa little kin'3 in the scheme will no doubt be strajghtened out by the committee in charge. ' : .

Ligonier needs these monthly bargain sale days. They fit in with the community development spirit. 5

"~ The 1921 Tax Rgte. Taxes will b ¢ much higher next #ear than this. The re: dents of Kepdallville will pay 79 cents moi: on the $lOO valuation making the total tax in that city $2.13. To this must be added a poll tax. o .

The total rate in Ligonier is $2.12 on the $lOO with a poll added. ‘ The tax rate in Kendallville was 80 low that a deficit was the result and. now the people must pay the piper. Wayne township has the lowest rate of any township in the county at 89‘ cents: Albion township has the hl‘h-{ est at $2.16. s

The levy on each $lOO valuation in the various townships, as submitted by Auditor Erwin is as follows: Wayne, 89 cents; Washington, $1.73; Sparta, $1.56; Perry, $1.33; Elkhart, $1.39; York, $1; N0b1e,51.66; Green, $1.14; Jefferson, $1.14; Orange, $1.08; Allen, §1,08; Swan,sl.49; Albion, $2.16 The levies in the varfous cities and towns on each $lOO valuation is ar follows: Albion, $1.60; Avilla, $1.66; Wolcottville, §1.72; Ligonier, $2.12; Cromwell, $232. » ‘ Harding a Bush Leaguer. : (Associated Press) ’ CHICAGO, Oct. 14—The question of whether the members of the. League of Nations would accept a new “association of nations was put to Senator Harding today in a-statement issued here by Congressman Frank E. Doremus, chairman of midwestern headquarters of the democratic committee.

“Senator Harding is again talking vaguely about an ‘association of nations,” ignoring the fact the League of Nations is already set up and includes 41 countries” says the statement. “Does Senator Harding think these 41 nations will disband and join his association? The only inference that can be drawn from the senator's remarks, is that he is a bush leaguer, playing with Mexico, Turkey and Bolshevist Russia.” : A Little Too Strong For Them. A dispatch frogqm Elkhart says the absurd utterances of Lillian Russell and Mrs. Medill McCormick on the league of nations in- their Indiana speeches are doing great harm and Mrs. A. H. Beardsley, president of the Indiana“ League of Woman Voters, and wife of Senator Hub Beardshley of Elkhart, has telegraphed a protest to the republican - national .committee against further activity in the state of these women who are speaking under the auspices of the republican committee. Mra. Beardsley is a republican but she is at the same time an honest wcman and evidently believes as most ‘wcmen do in the league of nations.

- Hite-Kime, : Miss Dorothy Hite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hite of Ligonier and J. W. Kime, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kime, of Mishawaka, were united in marriage Monday Octoberll, at the Evengelical parsonage in St. Joe Michi gan by Rev. Anderson. The bride is a popular young lady with a host of friends in this city while the groom is an honest and industrious young man. The happy young couple will reside in Mishawaka where they will be at home to their friends after Saturddy.

Loses $240. Howard Congdon of Bristol, has reported to the Elkhart police that he‘ has lost $240 which_he says he hid“ in a basket of apples. He sold the apples’ to an Elkhart grocer and forgot about the money until several hours later. The grocer says he never saw the roll. N ‘ 2o e ——— - 3 ' Marriage Kept Secret. 3 The marriage of Miss Bernice Vanferson of Avilla, and KeiferToomire of Elkhart.took place at the Methodist parsonage in Goshen on September 29.

To Plead For Better Schools.

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. u-—-lndiana.’n‘ educational system in 1890 .ranked twenty-fifth among the States and Territories as to general efficiency. In 1900 the rank of Indiana was sixteenth while inl9lo its rank was seventeenth ‘among all the States and Territories In 1918 the State had not advancedl and since it rank was still seventeenth. There have been many ranrdom statements made about the rank of Indiana educationally during the last thirty years. These figures are official. They were obtained from the reports of the Russell Sage Foundation which has made a scientific investigation of the efficiency of the systems of education in all the States and Territories covering a period beginning with 1890. - A state wide speaking campaign to get people people from Indiana interestng(i)n the educational situation in this .State will be conducted for ten days beginning Sunday, November 7.

- May Be Demented. | The Wawaka Correspondent tells of an eccentric man apparently 45 or 50 years old who stopped at nearly avery farm house between Ligonier - and Wawaka, asking the road to Kendallville. He said that he didn't know the way and was Naving difficulty in establishing his route. In almost every instance he wanted the woman of the house to direct him on the right road, and his peculiar actions, it is said frightened many women. - He was driving a Ford car_with no top on the machine and without a license number. A small canine chained in the back seat of the machine was the sole passenger and companicn of the driver. Women who he questioned are iaclinad to think he might ‘have been an c:cap:d couviet or de’mentod.

Withcraws Plea ol Gullty.

Rev. Albert S. Menaugh who pleaded guilty in the Elkhart circuit court to the embezzlement of $12,000 trust funds and was sentenced to serve from one to five years in the state prison, has been permitted to withdraw his plea and has been released on $5OO bond. The funds are not due for an accounting for six months and the court held that guilt could not be established until the money in trust is due. It is believed the shortage ‘will be made good and that the re‘verned gentleman will escape a penal sentence. Rev. Menaugh confesses that he was buncoed out of the money by sharpers in Denver on a bongus board of trade speculation. Leslie Breaks Arm. Glen Leslie, employed on the farm by James Vance has a broken arm the result of a Ford kick. After Guy Hieber had taken x-ray pictures of the injured arm Drs. Lane and Hursey reduced the fracture. ‘ Meeting of W. C. T. U. : The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs | T. B. Silburn 'l‘unduymgm, Octoat Hammond has & report to submit.

- Inherited Political Prejudice. To the women of Ligonier and vicinity :— : _ : ’ The editor of the Banner has kindly consented to give me a little space in his paper. ; _ ~ No doubt the most of you think you know with which party you will cas: your vote on November second. How do you know ?By carefully reading and comparing both sides of the questicns before the peéople this campaign and reaching an imprejudiced and unbiased decision as the result of that readIng? Or by carefully avoiding anything that would savor of independent, or:ginal thinking, lest you should depart from the hard and fast, cut and dried, hewn out course of your ancestors?

The election of 1920 is a very important one in the history of the United States because for the first tine women have the franchise and because the issues are of so much consequence. If every woman voter will this year at the very beginning of her suffrage, pledge herself-to vote for the candidate who is in here estimation the most deserving of her support and with the parting advocating the highest principles, cutting the cable between herself and her traditienal political teachings, if it is necessary, the nineteenth ammendment will be justified American politics will be cleaner, and our national life better. :

. Our government is necessarily a government by party. This is inevitable_since we elect our officers and since new conditions bring about new needs. 2 o ¢

In 1787 when the question of the adoption of the Constitution was 'before the people, there came nto existence two parties, the federal favoring a strong union and th. antifederal, opposed to a strong union and holding that each state should be a sovereignty in itself and all the states bound together loosely, merely to further international interests such as commerce, taxation, etc. These parties served to determine the attitude of the people toward the problems then before them, and through the decision of the majority the policy of the nation was established. This was perfectly all right and natural The political parties became a tool, 80 to speak, subservient and. subordinate to the problems and guestions before the people. That is the nature of the political parties in France today A question comes up for the people to decide. Each man reaches a decision for himself, alligns himself with the group of men that thinks as he does, and a party comes into existence. ‘There are often as many as eight pol:tical parties at one time in accordance ‘with the various problems and the relative importance the people attach to each problem. When the election is over the parties quite naturally dissolve.. . A

In our country this is not the case. Each party has come to be a fixed institution. Instead of a party existing as a means to an end, a means to determine the pulse of each individua! on the important issues of the day, it became the end in itself. A small group of men get together, look about them for principles that seem to be the best winners, incorporate them f#n their platform and then every American knows what he stands for, because he knows what his .party stands for. And his place in his party is as fixed as the laws of the Medes and the Persians. In our country. political tradition sems as sacred a thing as religious tradition. - Thus every American who does not think . for ‘himself becomes a slave to a party, managed by men who have become professional sports at the game, and usually men who do not know the meaning-of fair, clean play, either. e as i ~ Are we new votm;ohgto be dominated by this kind of politics, or'are we going to be influenced by the principles at stake, shaping our ideas each season by what we think is the crying need of our community ,and; our nation? Bl 5 . A Woman Voter ‘Herbert B. Bmwu ught the re- | Wayne where she died to Topeka In in the Brown hearse. . =

‘Speaking to the men and women voters in a tour of the state, Thomas Taggart, democratic candidate for Senator, urged the election of Cox and Roosevelt and Dr. Cariton B. McCulloch, democratic candidate for governor. He appesled to the voter: of both sexes to uphold the League of Nations and thus do away with war and its devasting costs. : ' “If I am elected senator,” he sald, =1 shall regard myself as a director in & corportaion charged with the responsibilities of aiding its management in the Interest of the stockholders the people. The running of a government 18 nothing but a business proposition.” In speaking of the League of Nations Mr. Taggart made an appeal to the mothers of Indiana to give their support to a medium that will prohibit all future wars. He declared the Republican leaders were misrepresenting the league for partisan reason and showed that Senator Hgrding was against it as is Johnson, Borah and Hearst.: :

“The people of Indiana are for the league,” he said “The mothers of sons who spent weary months on the firing line in France want the leagu»r. It is the greatest human document since the declaration of Independence yet a few jealous partisans attempt to be little it. How any father of mother who had sons in the world war can vote the Republican no-league ticket is beyond my comprehension.”

TO BUILD SERVICE STATION Standard Ofl Company WIII Sell BuildIngs at Cormer Cavin and Pigeon Ligonier is to have a public »rvki station erected and maintained by the Standard 011 Co. = :

The corporation some time ago acQuired: an option on the lots at the north east corner of Cavin and Pigeon streets and that title to the property has been acquired Is shown by an advertisement to sell the buildings on lots 2,3, 4,5, and 6. £

- The buildings are old, but may be repaired when removed to other .Jocations and converted into comfortable residences, waking hongs for a number of fainilies. : D

The Standard Oil Compuay is erecting these seérvice stations in about all the cities in the country. - =

- Rural Service. = ' The service of the Red Cross in America may be divided roughly as follows: 23% to the cities, 77% to the small towns and open country. Of this latter division, the bulk of attention has been centered on the small towns, some Qf the reasons for this being that the cl‘x&o&er seat has been located there; it has been easier to redch people in groups; leadership is more numerous, and the needs in suca places are more easily seen. T But now Red Cross efforts are more expanding to include the districts lying vutside the towns the real farming districts. Economic conditions have in the past few years drawn special attention to the country as the source of all production, and at the same time people are coming to realize the fact that ¢he country presents an urgent need for social service. . Red Cross Educational Centers are placing great stress on ftraining for rural work, and as a result, leaders are being developed who desire to work with country people. ‘The Summer School at Ohio 'Bu‘u‘lfnlversit_vi this year .included a Red Cross course for -Rural Community Organizers, the first of its kind to be offered. 1t i significant that in addition to the regular students of this course, a number of other students attended the class regularly. , : -

One of the most hopetul indications for the success of this work is the fact that the country people themselves realize that thére is a distinct field for a Red Cross worker among them. At present the demand far exceeds the supply. In some cases community studies have been made which revealed needs that were wholly unknown to exist. A program to meet these needs very often involvs a Red Cross rural worker. , S ~ Family Political Changes. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News: : e Sir—A straw vote in my family and my wife's family shows the following changes. Oyt of eighty-seven votes of our brothers and sigers - familes eighty-four votes for Cox and three votes for Harding. Out of forty-six male votes for president in 1916, Wilson 14, Hughes 32. All this change is due to the stand of Harding and Watson on scrapping the league of nation and a separate peace with Germany. J. D. Miller and Whole Darn Family

PEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS TAXED TO HOLD ASSEMBLAGE ’ " MONDAY EVENING EMERIGK SPEAKS OCT. 18 Matchless Address Holds Big Audlence Spell Bound For More Than One Hour : ~ The largest and most enthusiastic meeting in Ligonier during the pre. sent campaign - was addressed by Claude G. Bowers in democratic headquarters Monday evening when fully 200 women and men sat spell.bound for more than an hour under the influence of the matchless oratory and convineing utterances of the speaker.

~_ Before the meeting was called the Ligonier band rendered several sclections and the hall soon filled with voters greedy for all the information obtainable on the great issues of the campaign and they were fully reward-

“The speaker first dealt with state issues, calling attention to the miserable financial administration of Gov. Goodrich who in his campalgn four year ago had promised s 0 much, the iniquitions tax law. The brazen effrontery of the state tax commission and the deprivation of taxing units of the state of their self government. He also pointed out the wanton extravagance of the state highway commisston and the great sums wasted by that imperfalistic body in its junkets over the state, and he did' not overlook the garage built to house the commission's pleasure cars at a cost to the taxpayers of over $BO,OOO. The scandalous - treatment of the benevelent, educational and penal institutions of the state was also referred to in proper terms. ik

~ Of course the Speaker paid most attention to the main issue of the campaign, the league of nations, and this was discussed not altogether from a partisan standpoint but from the positions of the candidates for president of the two great parties. “In his letter of acceptance and in every utterance touching the subject gince Gov. Cox has declared in favor of entering the league of nations,” said the speaker. . - - .

“In his letter of.acceptance and in ten subsequent utterances Senatcr Harding was vague and indefinite as to his position on the league but when he reached Des Moines, lowa, under the cutting lash of Senators Johnson and Borah and Hearst the senator declared that he had turned -his back on the league and was opposed to any and all its obligations and therefore he favored staying out.” = Continuing Mr. Bowers declared the issue is thus clearly drawn, the democratic, party and ' its candidate for president favor joining the league as expressed in platform and all subsequent utterances of Gov. Cox while the republicans made no direct pledges in -their platform and their candidate for president wabbled and wiggled until finally he declared himself’ unequivocally opposed to any league in principle. : So those republicans, comprising more than 90 per eent of the voters of the party, are disappointed and humilg—ated by the acrobatic feats and mental ‘contortions of their presidential candi-

date on the main issue of this campaign and now nothing is left them but to smoother the solemn dictates of their conscience and vote: against the league or show the courage of their convictions by voting for the lcague in their support of Gov. Cox. i In presenting ‘these facts the spea}er did not neglect to point out the solemn responsibility resting upon the voters in the campaign which closes Nov. 2. :

Mr. Bowers was interrupted by frequent outbrusts of applause as point after point was driven home. Many visitors from Albion and out side points attended the meeting and enjoyed the masterly address. . Mayor Henoch enteratained the speaker while in the city and -W. C B. Harrison presided at the meeting and introduced Mr. Bowers. :

The next meeting will be held in Democratic headquarters over Williams drug store next Monday evening, October 18, Attorney Rex Emerick, of Kendallville, an able and finished speaker delivering the address. . The large attendance of women voters at these meetings indicate the deep interest felt by the new voters in the campaign i:sues. ' Poland Thina Hog Szle.
