Di. MORR FOR JOINT SENATOR For months the friends of Dr. John W. Morr of Albion have given him ns rest from their- demand that he Dbecome a candidate at the Democatic primary for = Representative to the United States Congress from the Tweflth District of Indiana. Much to the disappointment of his friends and
admirers Dr. Morr has steadfastly retused’ to allow ‘his name to appear, giving as his reason for such refusal that his professional business and the various enterprises in which he is actively associated demand practically all his time. It was only after beseeching iupon the part of these friends that Dr. Morr eventually "did promise to stand for eelction to the Indiana State Senate. This position will not require all his time as would that of United - States Congressman and will not so greatly interfere with his various business -interests noi hamper his business associates. © And Dr. Morr is one man who welcomes friendship in business matters. His experience has conclusively proven that friendship and business will mix notwithstanding the. general impres-
sion to the contrary. : SV _ That Dr. Morr is capable goes with. out saying among those who know him. He is an execptionally able busti. ness man. He is a highly suces"sful practicing member of the medical pro-
iession. His experience as actual manager of his farming interests place him in a position far and away above the average man to know the problems of the farmer and how ‘hest to correct them. : -
We congratulate the counties of Al. len and Noble in having the opportunity to entrust their legislative busi. less to aman so well qualitied,.
In. an interview given this paper yesterday Dr. Moor said among other things that he was not seeking office but that he was one among severai others who weer persuaded that the time had come and that the conditions in Indiana and the nation were such that there was no chance for a courageous energetic man to side-step the issue any longer. That if we continued to place the responsibility ot the state upon the shoulders of men too weak to carry the load, we must not complain about the conditions at Washington and Indianapolis being as they are at ‘the present time but accept them as the inevitable outcome of selecting men for office who have no qualification or fitness for the oifice they seek. .
Continuing Dr. Moor said: “Too many men become candidates for- office who have only themselves and their own interests in mind. We are sufferitig from- this condition this very hour; yes sir, this very minute we" are wpending hard earned money trying to dislodge from our state and national government men of this very kKind. I need not metnion the names. Every school boy knows them. Suci a disgraceful condition as this has nc parallel in history and God forbid that we ever have another like it. If the people of Allen and Noble counties select nie_as their joint senator, I will shoulder the responsibility as a man should and my main thought will be to serve my district and state, I will have no cut and dried program. Tne opinion of every honest man and woman in the district will receive my consideration, and the advice and council of such will be sought and much appreciated. | : E
“We must afford some relief through tax reduction and support of the farmers co-operative marketing program or every farmer in this nation is headed for bankruptey. Farmers business is so out of balance that eight and a third million factory workers made $43,672,785,000 worth of factory goods in 1921 (says ' the census bureau’. That same year our agricultural production was valued at $12,402,000,000 and required the ser. vice of more than ten million people. These ten million farmers got little more than one quarter for their products that the eight million produced with their labor. These facts and figures are known to every farmer and they show in a concrete way how out of balance conditions are between these two great industries. . “Destroy the farmers business and what have we left? Nothing. We must do all we can_to build up our agricultural life. Mza(ing farm life profitable will make farm life likable. We can not long endure if one-half of our people are bankrupt. “I will favor a strict law enforcement program and also -a thoroughshowing up of all ¢rooked prepositions. ; ;
“The public demands a deal straight from the shoulder and if I am chosen as their representive I propose they shall have this: very thing.” s

Peculiar Polities.
As the democratic organ of ftone Twelfth congressional distriet . the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette is play. ing peculiar politics in coming. out flat footed for Dale J, Crittenberger for governor before the primary and before the candidate is chosen. It is unfair to the other -‘candidates. Should one of the other aspirants be successful in gaining the nomination the Journal Gazette will find itself in rather an embarrassing position. , Ordinarily party papers wait until a candidate is named by primary or convention and then support him. But the Journal Gazetie seems too impatient to do this. -

Scientists Claim Earth Is Fragment of Sun Astronomers, geologists and physicists are generally agreed that, vast ages ago, the sun was 4 §pinning, flaring mass of matter, and that as it whirled, a series of fragments detached themselves from it, which be-came-the planets, one of which is our earth. A fragment-of the earth’s mass broke off and formed the moon, Astronomers give us convincing reasons for supposing that sun and earth and moon and all that system were then whirling about at a speed much greater than the speed at which they are moving today, and that at first our earth was a flaming thing upon which no life could live.. It was certainly long ages from the time of the breaking off of the earth’s mass from the sun before condensation of water and rainfall could take place. The very oldest rocks must have been formed before there was any sea at all, when the earth was too hot for'a sea to exist and when the water that is now sea was an atmosphere of steam mixed with the air. Its higher levels were dense with clouds, from which a hot rain fell toward the rocks below, to be converted again into steam Jong before it reached their red-hot surfidces. It Is quite impossible to estimate the ages that must have passed before the earth’s crust solidified and atmosphere and water ang rainfall as we know it were possible, v
Alaskan Fur-Seal Bull - Fasts Amidst Plenty
The Alaskan fur-seal bull, although surrounded at all times with ample food and drink, has a period of complete fasting for three months out of each year. This occurs during the breeding season. The bull ‘is kept in a perpetual state of excitement and activity by continual fights to protect his harem of cows from other bulls. At the beginning of the breeding sea- . son the bulls are in marvelous condition, weighing as much as four hundred pounds each. Tlieir; pelts are thick and firm and they have a tre-’ mendous amount of energy. At the end. of their period of fasting they are drained of all their stored-up energy; and the fat has disappeared: from their flesh and bones.
Mistook His Opponent
Two pickaninnies, not thoroughly accustomed to ocean bathing, were engaged in a “water fight” off a Florfda beach one windy afternoon. The fight consisted of desperate attempts on the part of each combatant, breast deep in water, to dash more of the ocean in his opponent’s face than he himself was getting. They did not notice the huge wave which rolled slowly up to them, lifted the little fellow nearest the beach clean' off his feet, and sat him gently in the back water. - .
Considerably surprised, the pickaninny rose to the surface, dripping and spluttering, and turned to his companion, an awed expression on his face. ‘ o
“Boy,” he said, breathlessly, “boy, yo' got me licked.”—Harper’s Magavine .
Assuming the Blame
A school presided over by a very harsh and bad-tempered teacher had a visit one afternoon from the bishop of the diocese. . :
The bishop, a genial soul, called before him a white-faced urchin who was very much cowed and depressed by an undeserved punishment he had re ceived that morning. “My boy,” said the bishop, in eloquent tones, “who made this great and glorious earth of ours, and set the sun, moon and stars in the wonderful firmament?” ' .
The white-faced boy began to blubber.
- “I did,” he said, “but I won’t do it again.” o
Great Help to Him
. A canvasser was selling tickets for a raffle, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to a charitable object. He went all around the village, and at last he called at the shop of one Mark Sturdy, the butcher. : He needed some persuasion, but at last the old man went so far as to ask what the prize was. “It is a magnificent encyclopedia,” replied the canvasser. “Very useful indeed, and absolutely the finest work of its kind on the market.”
. “Oh,” sald old Mark. “I must have a couple of these tickets for my son, Sam. He's a great cyclist.” ‘
The Humorous Farmer
- The summer boarder’s brand of alleged humor was very tiresome, more than the old farmer had contracted for when he quoted rates. Cracks at everything pertaining to rural life were becoming monotonous. The grizzled agriculturist was about due for a come-back when the summer boarder hailed him from the edge of a patch of swampy woods. =
' “If lam bitten by a squirrel,” asked the facetious one, “will I go nutty?” ~ “No,” responded the farmer grimly. “And if you are bitten by a frog you won’t croak.” ' :
Was He Hitting at Her? ~ “Robert,” sald his wife, “here’s an article which suys that good humor - makes the ideal home.” : . “That’s all right, my dear,” he replied. “Doesn’t it say, too, that gaod dinners are the basis of good humor?”’ ‘'—Boston Transcript: : Jay Ramsby has returned to the old home farm out on rural mail route No. 3 for the summer. ; 5 Mr. and Mrs. Dean Wagoner and little son of Elkhart were visitors with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wagoner the first of the week.
