Guard Possessions Well

_ It seems that whatever a farmer has in his possession if it is not fastencd at both ends is liable to be stolen. A farmer over in Noble county tore down an old barn and piled up in separate piles all the choice selectad lumber expecting to rebuild and use the same when needed. Only last week a thief with a large truck deliberately loaded up the best quality and departed for an unknown destination.—Goshen News Times.

WOMAN KILLED AT CROSSING

Mrs. Paul Fisher Fattally Injured When Car Is Hit By Fast Train Near (olumbia . City

One person was killed and another believed fatally injured when the auto mobile in which they were riding was struck by a west bound Pennsylvania passenger train six miles east of Columbia City at 8 o’clock Monday night. Mrs. Paul Fisher 47 died in the Lutheran hospital at | Fort Wayne three hours after the accident. Her ?skull was fractured and both arms and legs were broken in the aecident. Her husband Mr. Fisher age 50 years is sulfering from severe bruises and laceration about the head. Hospital attaches say his (-onditionr' is serious. : Coroner Lehmberg started an investigation- today. ' “Mr. and Mrs. Fisher were starting on a fishing trip when the tragedy occurred. They lived on a farm adjacent to the railroad right of . way where they were killed. An east bound train had just ‘cleared .the crossing and the unfortunate coupie drove their car onto the tracks difectly in front of the passenger train coming from the opposite direction.

THE BELOVED FARMER . (Minneapolis Tribune)

The farmer ,must feel that he is t‘uc} most fortunate person in the world. Everybody loves him. Even those op-‘ posed to gi\'h&g him what he wants love him. Whatéver is refused him is refused him in the mood of honeyed affection. Each refusal is an act of kindness, conceived for the purpose of improving his lot. The people opposing the farmer’s request for a duti on vegetable oils and fats declare solemnly that the duty would do the farmer no good. They profess that they are interested solely in the farmer’s welfare, and one would infer the only force that caused them to dppear before congress at all was the desire to prevent the farmer from making a mistake definite lv injurious to his own interest. The people opposing the farmer’s request for a duty on bluckstrzip molasses again. breathe nothing but love ?fm‘ the farmer. Why if the duty i’wﬂuld do uny‘ good, of course they would be in favor of it! But they are fearful that the proposed duty would only increase the ‘fﬂ{lll(‘l":ﬁ;li\'ill;: costs. Such was their devotion to the farmer and such was their alarm over the adverse effects which the duty might exert upon him, that they left their homes, families and business and scampered down to Washington in order to prevent congress from dealing a cruel wrong to their little friend behind the plow. . It was the same with all the duties the farmer wanted and didn’t get. An increased duty on Swiss cheese? Ah, but it would do him no good! Dried egg? It would be a hardship to him! Casein? Nota penny would find its way into his pockets. - Peanuts? “It would “intensify competitive conditions among American px‘ogu_u:ex's and bhe detrimental instead of a benefit to them.” Tomatoes? “An increase in duty on imported canned tomatoes will not benefit the American growers.” The transcripts of the hearings before the ways and means committee are filled with protestations of affection for the farmer. Nobody ever had so many ardent champions looking out to see that everything he asked for was denied. The farmer’'s tragedy was that the -people who loved him just couldn’t stay home. - And similarly the people seeking new or increased industrial rates all loved the farmer. —They could always be depended upon to show that the rates they were demanding would in no way harm him. The commodity in question only affected the seaboard markets. It did not penetrate into the interior. The farmer would not only be harmed, he would be benefitted. Prices would not go up; they would merely be stabilized; and wasn’t stabilization of price a fine thing for thé farmer? Apparently all the increased protection sectired by industry was sought on the grounds that it would aid the beloved farmer. We suggest that any bandits who chance to operate on the countryside learn something of the new technique The highwayman who holds up a farmer in ihs automobile should explain to him first of all that he :is a believer in agricultural rehabilitation. He should remark that the only reason he is relieving the farmer of his automobile is that automobiles are dan gerous and that he can’'t bear ‘the thought of one so dear to him having an accident. He should add that he is only doing the farmer a good turn in relieving him of his wallet, since an ancient proverb has it that money frequently led to unhappiness and could any true friend wish another unhappiness? In helping himself to the farmer’s watch might attract the lightn ing and that above everything else he wished the dear farmer to be perfect ly safe. Finally while shooting the far mer and tossing his body into the near by ditch the robber should explain to the dying man that in death there is a peace that passeth understanding and that he wanted his friend to whom he was so devoted to enjoy a calm and ‘blessed tranquillity which would il?e permanent. - 5 .._,'.

E. J. Barker, Secretary-{reasurer of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, is very optimistic regarding the 1929 State Fair, which will be held from August 31 to September 7. lle says: “Prospects are very encouraging for the 1929 Indiana State FPair. More exhibit space has becn assigned in the mechanical departnient and in the manufacturers buiiding than in previous years, mor¢ concession space has been sold than ever before. “The interest in the. live stock and poultry departments far exceeds other years. i e . “Cattle are coming from New York and Massachusetts, on the east, to California on the west and from North Dakota to Texas from north to south. » ' “The National swine show is being held in connection with the state fair, which has never been done before. This will bring together the greatest swine show ever held in all history, barring possibly the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. “Our race program is the best offered at any state fair and as good as is offered at any Grand Circuit meeting anywhere. Practically all the good Grand Circuit . horses are entered here, : +. “QOur night emtertainment in front of the grandstand is the Gus Hornbrook rodeo, which is one of the best to be found anywhere. In connection with this emtertainment, there will be Roman standing races and steeple chases. ) - “The Indiana University band will furnish music throughout the week. “In . the manufacturers building will be seen the greatest suto and ‘radio shows ever seen at ony fair or exposition. : . “The Indiana State Fair of 1929 is offering a total of $171,745.00 in premiums and pures which is more than $20,000.00 in excess of any other fair.” : :

E. D. Logsdon, of Indianapolis, President of the Indiana Board of Agriculture, which manages the In. dlana State Fair, advises that he believes, with the National Swine Show here this year, this will be the largest fair that has ever been held. Mr. LoFsdon says: ‘ ‘Having been interested in the Indiana State Fair for the past several years, I know that we have had some very successful fairsx but this year there will be held in connection with the fair the National Swine Show which should draw a large crowd, especially since the state of Indiana is putting ug‘ $24,000 in prizes for this show. This should bring large entries in cattle, horses, poultry and sheep, also, as most of those interested in hogs are also interested in some other kind of livestock. “I believe that the people of Indiana realize that the Indiana State Fgir is the largest event of the year and it is only a short drive on these good roads“from every corner of the state. A few days slpent with $lO,000,000.00 worth of livestock, where probably twenty or twenty-five states are represented, will he a long, pleasant remembrance as both :in educational feature and a recreaon, “There will be plenty of amusement, Grand Ofrcuit Racing, Horse Breaking demonstration, Horse Pulling Contest, the night Horse Show in the Coliseum, the rodeo in front of the grandstand each night, and many other features that should be interesting to anf mon. It will pay all of you people of Indiana to take the time to come to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for a few days from August 81 te September 7, inecludYS'" eG S SRR IR :

Less than eight months have elapsed since the first Chevrolet Six was delivered into the hands of an owner—and already there are more than a million sixcylinder Chevrolets on the road! And the reasons for this overwhelming success are easy to understand. . Into a price field that had hitherto

been occupied exclusively by four-cylinder cars— Chevrolet has introduced a six-cylinder car of amazing quality and value. Not only does it offer the smooth, quiet, velvety performance of a great six-cylinder valve-in-head motor—but, from every standpoint, it is a finer automobile than was ever before thought possible at such low prices!
