B ; The general verdict was that every one earned a prize which made it decidedly difficult for the judges to redach a decision. ke The groups of five or more was a new feature in the parade and a most interesting one, B

_ There were no less than a dozen groups and all worthy of consideration. Notably among these were detachments of little tots whose ap-| Ppearance was most appealing all #miling and happy. Then came the Y. W. C. A. group in a beautifully decorated car shaped like a fairy boat, filled with beautifully gowned young. “ladies, the crusaders led with a proud horseman bearing a flaming cross, the KuKlux Klan with their mysteries veiled from the public eye, the wagon . driven by a typical farmer loaded with a huge shock of corn surrounded by uniquely garbed children playing the role of pumpkins. Many predicted that this exhibit would surely win a prize and it, was certainly worthy of the high praise it received. =k Then there were the clowns, the .pairs and individuals characters all having their particular merit. . Grand Marshal Kuankalman preceded the iLgonier band which led the parade and the procession was fully ten blocks long.. .= ~ C. R. Stansbury and W. C. B. Harrison . distributed several hundred horns and rattlers among the little people which had the effect of raising the proper din. A e Howard Fisel, A, J. Hite and wWill Roe managed the red fire so as to cast a ruddy glow over the long line ~affair, certainly had a most efficient ~ organization of judges and the hearty - thanks of the community is due this ' Mary visitors came from the country and surrow mm %mm%&ﬂdw

' The murderer then started for Albion when he was arrested and has been confined in jail ever since. ‘Wake Smith is about 25 years of age and served in' the world war. Later he was committed to a reformatory in Ohio on some offense and had been home but & short time when the fatal shooting took place.

SELECT NEW OFFICERS

Farm TFederation and House Division Hold Joint Meeting At Al. ; bion Saturday. i Joint meeting of the Noble County Farm Bureau and Home Division was held at Albion last Saturday and the following officers were chosen for the Bureau: : President—W. H. Favinger Vice President—Fred H. Green Secretary—M. J. Parks Treasurer—S. 8. Steel. ; Delegates to State Meeting to Farmers Federation—W. H. Favinger, George Harvey. Before the election of officers Lewis Taylor state Treasurer and. Director of the State Farmers Federation made an address before the delegates and visitors in whicl he very ; forcefully brought out the great benefits the farmers have derived from .the state organization during the past year. He said in part “The Farm Federation has organized producers commission firms in the greater live stock ‘centers. These firms have developed enough ‘busines sto attract the larger buyers: In Indianapolis alone -the farmers commission firms have saved $lO,521.70 in about eightm onths of operation.' This will be apportioned back to the shippers. The State Farmers Federation has effected other large savings by making transportation cheaper and quicker. Through legislation the interurban lines throughout the state have been encouraged to haul live stock and railroad transportation of all farm commodities has been improved. It is the great number of farmers back of the Farmers Federation that has put things across in the legislation. The drive of the Indiana Farmers Federation last spring put the tax appraisement down fully twenty percent.” 4 The Producers Commission Firm in Indianapolis had another record week ending Oct. 27th, beating their, previous: high mark of 156 cars by 39 cars. The Producers stood first in| receipts and handled 18.7 per cent of all cattle, sheep and hogs coming in the yards. e : .

Bill, Bill, Who Has the Bill?

Farmers were promised a speedy enactment of the Truth in Fabrie biill in the event that the republicans controlled the congress. The measure was duly passed by the lower house and sent to the senate. § It just so happened that the bill went to a senate committee headed by James E. Watson and there it stuck and is still sticking. = The woolen and cotton manufasturers who desire to sell shoddy fabrics for the real article 'are opposed to the bill.
