TIE UP FARMER. ROB HENHOUSE William Brown, of near Granger, was visited one night last week by two strangers who shoved a gun in his face, bound him. blindfolded him and set him on the porch of i)is house while they proceeded to rob his chicken house. Why blindfold a man? Today it is no uncommon occurrence to wait up to a man and demand bis money so we can see no j reason for two men deliberately blindfolding a farmer while simply taking a few of his chickens. The farmer was foolish in the first place to objecting to having bis chickens taken. Cooperation means success today and it is quite likely thai this man would have helped the robbers sack the fowl if he had been asked in a polite way. Chicken raising is usually blamed on the farmer’s wife and we would advise any- ; one helping himself to any of the feathered .tribe to be sure that it is the husband that is ashpd for assistance.

PRY BODY IS INCORPORATED Indianapolis, August 2 V Articles erf incorporation for the Protestant legion, which proposes among other tbihgs to “disseminate truthful information and known facts regardin', all candidates for public office,'' were filed with the secretary of stale Friday by Forrest Sellers, Earl B. MeCallie and Albert E. Arm-j strong,, all of Indianapolis. In the articles it is stated as the, belief of the organisation that '"‘all; citizens, especially candidates public office, should be unswerving adherents of the 18th amendment to oar federal constitution and all accessary enforcement legislation connected therewith,”

From the position in which E. S. Shumaker today finds himself we would advise that the above legion find substitutes for the officers in case that a “peeved” candidate starts proceedings to prove that their "truthful mlormation” is false. Much as a truthful dissemation of the truth should be sought many politicians higher up are very much adverse to having the truth told as “truth is stranger than fiction U> quite a number of them. It has been said that a truthful politician is ari unknown quantity and we are waiting to see just how far this organization will go
