Favor Smith

Indiana Farm Bureau Federation swung definitely to the support of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential nominee as opposed to Herbert C. Hoover, G. O. P., standard bearer as result of Smith’s views on agricultural relief, expressed in his acceptance speech. Organized farmers’ allignment with Smith as exs pressed in no wuncertain terms by William H. Settle Farm Bureau kKederation president marked the only desertion from strictly partisan views indicated in expressions today from prominent Democrats and Republicans on Smith’s speech.

Many Licenses Issued Approximately 300,000 rfisident fishinz and hunting licenses will be issued during the fiscal year ending Septemher 30 which means virtually one licenses issued for each 10 of Indiana,s approximate 3,000,000 inhabitants. ' ‘lt is the biggest license sale ever put on in Indiana, and a fifty thousand increase over 1927,” declared George N. Mannfeld superintendent of the fish and game division of the state conservation department, whose- of> fice distributes them.

Mannfeld optimistically believes the fizures will eyen go higher and, con, sidering that licenses sell for $1 each points out that not another state in the Union sells so many resident licenseg considering population. : It is further remarkable in that under the Indiana fish and gamsg laws, landownes, their children, tens ants and children of tenants, do nog have to take out a license to hunt on land owned or controlled by them, nor to fish in public waters on their lands, ‘Also that no ex-service man who is a resident of the state, has to purchasg a license, but instead enjoys a freg ‘permi-t. _

State Police to Enter (Case

Mystery was piled on mystery at Angola with the unexplained return of Sheriff Charles Zimmerman who had been reported missing and who for some time was feared to have been the man whose body was burned beyond recognition in the fire which destroyed a barn near Freemont Wednesday morning. No explanation was forthcoming as to where the sheriff had been since he left the jail Tuesday but persons at the jail verified the statement that he has returned. It was intimated that he might make a statement later. His disappearance was connected with the finding of the body at Free, mont when a Hudson sedan which was unlocked by keeys found in the ruins on the body was found mysteriously lparked in the garage at the /county jail. : t

‘Chaucer Mindful of ~ . Opportunity in Life - Chaucer was appointed comptroller of customs in 1374.

The post of comptroller of the customs and subsidy of wools, hides and woodfells and the petty customs of wine—one of the fattest jobs in the city of London—was not the only prize which Chaucer managed to gather during a career of diplomacy; for the writing of the “Canterbury Tales” was only a spare-time hobby. ~ Chaucer, who began as a royal page, had undertaken miany embassies. One, in Italy, had been so successful as to earn him a grant of a piteher of wine a day, to be supplied by the king's butler, Two years later he re ceived £l6 13s 4d for some secret service work. A mission to Flanders and an embassy to the king of France brought him nearly £80; no small sum in those days. It was, no doubt, these journeyings abroad that enabled him to dip into all the treasure houses of Christendom for his stories. But his merry man nér of telling themn-—-that we owe to his genius alcne; or, perhaps, a lit-

tle to the county which he: made his home; for if a man can't be werry and poetic in springtime and in Kent. when and where can he be?—From the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail, :

Body Can Get Along Without Special Food When John oversleeps and misses his morning orange or Junior gets away with hiding his spinach under «the potato skins, don’t have instant visions of lack of vitamines resulting in scurvy for one and rickets for the other, advises Milo Hastings, director ~of the food research laboratory of ~ Physical Culture Magazine. “The human animal was not evolved on a basis that makes it needful for him to have a complete supply of every element his body uses three times a day, or even once a day,” he declares in Physical Culture Magazine. “The body can endure for weeks ‘without any food element, and some times even may benefit from the process. No doubt there are some elements on which we could exist on the store already in the body, for months or possibly years. I even suspect spinach might be eaten one month to correct the acid tendencies of eggs eaten the month before.”

Forward-Looking Wordsworth speaks of the “man of hope and forward-looking mind.” The attitude that brings happiness and success in this strange and mysterious life is the attitude of the “forwardlooking mind.” After we are grown we should have sense enough to know that we are not going to live very ‘long, but we should have vision enough to know, also, that life goes on and on, reaching steadily upward. Not far upward or quickly or drastiecally, but yet perceptibly. To make life in any sense worth living, to give our own lives meaning and purpose and direction, we must have forward-look-ing minds. The belief in a better day is what makes possible and profitable the work of this day.—Grove Patterson, in the Mobile Register, .

Mount Lassen Active

Mount Lassen, America’s principal active volcano, is still asleep, but the spectacular effect produced by blowing clouds of snow mixing with the steam that the crater is continually emitting may give the illusion of a return to activity. The effect is es«pecially striking when it occurs near sunrise or sunset, reports R. H. Finch, associate volcanologist of the United States geological survey, whose job it is to keep his finger on the pulse of the slumbering volecano. That it is merely slumbering, and not dead, is indicated not only by the steam, but by frequent earthquakes. Sometimes several shocks occur on the same day.

Pathetic Death Message

A death message of pioneer days which never reached its intended recipients. was revealed at Dover, Ohio, with the finding of a heart-shaped stone, on which the following inscription had. been laboriously scratched: “Let be known if found. ['m bleeding to death. May, 1818.—F. B. W.” The entire surface of the stone was occupied by the message, which was almost effaced by erosion. The stone was found near a culvert where it is believed to have been uncovered by.recent high waters. :

Synthetic Wood From Coal

Since coal is largely vegetable matter, scientists will be able to convert it into artificial wood for the manufacture of furniture and many other uses, experts point out. " Cellulose or vegetable matter .is now being manufactured into synthetie wood for various purposes. [t is durable, hard and heavy, and takes a good polish. A large supply is seen in the tropics, where trees and plants now grow in great profusion and are serving no useful purpose.

An Improvement

Ellen Terry was once rehearsing a Shaw play, and G. B. 8. was standing in the wings. Some one said to him: “Is Miss Terr) speaking the lines as you wrote them?” : : Shaw, greatly impressed, replied: “No, she is speaking the lines as I auesht to have written them.”

DEMOCRATIC HEAD APPEALS - FOR FULL VOTE THIS YEAR

Election Offers Opportunity to Register Views on Many Important Issues.

ALL SHOULD PARTICIPATE

Deplores Fact Only Half of Electorate Usually Goes to Polls—No Excuse for Absentees. :

(This is the first of a series of statements on campaign issues by the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.) : By John J. Raskob o

Nothing is more important to the future of America than that our citizens manifest their own interest in its future by voting. We must deplore the fact that in the last presidential election, of fifty-four million qualified voters, only about fifty percent cast their vptes. This year, it. is anticipated that there will be fiftysix million qualified voters 'in the country, and I hope and urge that the great proportion of these will take advantage of the Voting Right. It is a sad commentary on our democracy that Germany, with only half of our population, saw two million more votes cast at its election for president than the United States in 1924. We are generally behind other countries in the voting record, although in foreign countries the voting franchise has been a comparatively recent exercise of sovereignty by the citizens. It is commendable that both parties this year are making earnest endeavors to have enrolled a very large vote. If an administration is to function well and to decide wisely on important issues, it should .be governed by public opinion. We certainly do not get the public opinfon of the United States when only fifty per cent of the qualified yoters appear at the polls. The time to record either satisfaction or disapproval of officials is on Election Day. ‘Grumbling about our public servants on other days of the year is largely a waste of time.

Minority Government

We do not want to see here a government of all the people by fifty per ‘cent of the people. We have been ‘having a government by only a maijority within the fifty per cent, which is far .less than the actual majority ‘of the qualified voters. This coming election will afford the people an opportunity to register ‘their views in no uncertain way on some fundamental issues. Neither of the candidates, if elected, would feel primed for acting as Chief Executive if only a portion of fifty per cent of the voters is respeonsible for his certificate of election.

In 1924 Mr. Coolidge received #fteen million, seven hundred and twenty-five thousand and sixteen votes. Mr. Davis received eight million, three hundred and eighty-six thousand, six hundred and twentyfour votes. Mr. La Fellette received four million, eight hundred and thirty thousand and four hundred and sev-enty-eight votes. ~And there were scattered one hundred and fifty-seven thousand votes. The total vote was only twenty-nine million, ninety-nine thousand, one hundred and thirty-one. There were qualified to vote in 1924 fifty-four million,” one hundred twen-ty-eight = thousand, eight hundred and ninety-five. So that Mr. Coolidge, who was elected President, only received a little more than one-fourth of the qualified votes of the country. Research into this neglect of voting by the people of the United States

has led our legislative bodies into taking action in order to develop a greater vote. The principal measures in this line have been the various laws made by the states for “absentee voting.” Forty-five of the fortyeight states.have made provisigns so that absentees from these states may cast their ballots. : For every one hundred votes cast for President in 1920, there were ninety-six who could vote but did not. This is no way to elect a President of the TUnited States, who, under our Constitution, is given more power than any one human being in the world,

Remember, this campaign will be the- most .stirring in the history of American politics. There is no American who does not want to take pamt in it. In many instances heretofore the race has been very close. Under our Electoral College system of gelecting a president, one state may decide the result.” In that state, a few votes either way may determine the entire election. One man’s vote is as good as another man’s vote. The quality known as Americanism lis demonstrated to a mathematical certainty at the polls. Your vote is valuable. Do not throw it away. It a debtor owed you money, and you were away on the due date, you ‘would make arrangements for him to transmit your money to you wherever you might be. You can make a similar arrangement in regard to the vote. Absentee Voting Simple Voting under the absentee voting laws is made simple and requires but little effort. Let your government hear from you no matter where you are on Election Day. ‘The candidates will struggle incessantly in making an appeal for your vote. They are at least entitled to expect you to exercise your fran: chise. Strong men are running.‘ Great issues fill the air. It will be up to you to pass judgment and you cannot do it if you fail to register. The American vote has a background of bloody sacrifice by the Great Americans of all our Wars. If you choose to be voteless, they have sacrificed, to that extent, in vain. _ After a terrific struggle, the franchise was granted to the women of America. - In the 1920 election it lis estimated that the women cast thir-ty-seven per cent of the total vote; and forty-three per cent of the women qualified to vote actually voted. Im only a few of the states did the women cast fifty per cent or more of their voting strength. The issues presented at the coming election will be of intense interest to the women of the land. The cost of living, employment, freedom of conscience, religious liberty and equal opportunity should attract a great majorify of the women to register and to vote. . Casts Portion of Vote

Every man and woman yho votes and does not encourage the other members of their families to do likewise only casts a portion of-a vote. Working women have a vast interest at stake in the election. Governor Smith stands as the champion of human rights and welfare of the working women. Of no other accomplishment is he prouder than of the guccess attending his efforts in the State of New York to better the conditions of women in industry. As President, he would have a tremendous influence on national legislation towards the same end. I trust the women will appreciate his services in this respect by their registration and vote. : : ; . REMEMBER, -YOU CANNOT VOTE IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER.

FORMER BOSTON MAYOR IN FIRST VOTER DRIVE

- Organization of the first voters has been started by the Smith-Robinson League of First Voters under the chairmanship of Andrew J. Peters, former Mayor of Boston, and Mrs. John Harlan Amen, a daughter of Grover Cleveland. Strategic points have been selected throughout the country for regional headquarters to direct the organization of the young voters. - “The new voter in the coming election occupies a position of unusual importance in the political flig{ment of the country which exists today and may well hold the balance of power,” former Maygr Peters said in accepting Chairmanship of the Men’s Division. “The candidacy of Governor Smith- makes an especial appeal to young men and women, because Governor Smith stands pre-eminently as the champion of the rights for equal opportunities for those young men and women to expand and develop ' in the Hfe of our American community.”

~ Then, the treatment of constipation, ‘biliousness, headaches, mental depres<gion, indigestion, sour stomach and -other indispositions that result from -constipation was entirely by means of _simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and ‘roots. These are still the basis of Dr; Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which is g combination of senna and other mild Jaxative herbs, with pepsin,

The simpler the remedy for constipa: tion, the safer for the child and for ;Zou, and the better for the general ‘health of all. And as you can get re: .sults in & mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? st - A botitle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will last a family several months, and all can use it. It is good for the babgebecause pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcoties. In the proper dose, given in thi ~directions, it is equally effective at fifi ages.
