IRK STARTED THIS WEEK ON STATE ROAD NO. 19

Work has been started on the paving of State Road 19, from Nappanee to Elkhart but the people of this city will have to travel the mud roads for some time yet to come. Hinsey & Dull, successful bidders on the road, have unloaded machinery and equipment at Wakarusa and have constructed a work shed just south of the Wabash railroad on the direct state road and have outlined the plan of work to the editor, slating that it is the intention to start work at the Hartman corners, just north of the bridge now being constructed and grade from there northward to the Wabash railroad. When this grading is completed the grading gang will be taken to the north end of the proposed paving and work from there southwards When the grading gang is taken to the north end the work of pouring the concrete will be taken up over the highway from the bridge northward. This will leave this end of the road until last and it is not likely that any work will be done on this end at all this fall. At the intersection of the state road with the Wabash railroad a siding is being laid and material for the ,oad can by this means be right at hand for the workmen. The heavy rains of the last ft. .. .1a.,8 has played havoc with the present gravel road and traveling over it is like traveling the rocky road to Dublin. Some work will have to be done on this highway or in a very short time it will be impossible for travelers to negotiate the stretch from this city to the Hartman corners, Autoists are advised to go to the Locke corners and turn west to get a fairly good road to the north. The first mile is rather rough but this will save a rough ride of several miles. Work on the state bridge is progressing nicely and with the paving contractors beginnjhg just to tinnorth of- this opens up it will be possible for the contractors to have a good road over which to | haul the materials for this end of the I highway improvement." RAPPS TO TAKE A WELL-EARNED VACATION Mr. Rapp, who has just leased bis.j garage to the DeLuxe Motor Sales, accompanied by Mrs. Rapp, Mr. and Mis. Paul Mahn and son, of Elkhart and a brother, H. W. Rapp and wile, of Benton Harbor, are enjoying a Vacation trip throughout Michigan. The first stop will be at Christiana laky 1 and after a short stay there the trip j will be extended to cover the Michigan state. To enjoy themselves, especially along the lines of Izaak \ Walton, is the main part of the ex- j niraion aud just how long the trip will be or when it will end is not! known at this time. Mr. Rapp states! that he is sorry to be out of the j garage business but that attending j to the wants of motorists in winter lime, especially at the gas and oil s service is a little' bit more than he can stand and will agree that a| seven-day-a week job is not what it is cracked up to he even in the best of weather.

“SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN” GIVEN BUS DRIVERS A gathering of drivers of school buses was held at the Junior High building at Goshen Saturday under a call sent out by County Superintendent W. L. Adams. Every care is being taken to avoid accidents to buses and the occupants and of the approximate total of one hundred and twenty bus drivers in Elkhart county about eighty were in attendance at the Saturday meeting. Interesting talks were given by representatives of the Wabash, New York Central and the Big Four railways on “Safety” and a member of the State Highway Police also talked on the duties of a bus driver. In this day when each, year more drivers are put on and smaller schools abandoned it is good to see that precaution is being taken to avoid accidents and the different trustees take into consideration a man’s fitness to be trusted with the lives of the children when hired lor the position of transportation. Many of the present day drivers cross a railroad crossing in the same manner in which they live. Carelessness mark their every movement and when one, accidentally arrives at a railway crossing at the same time a train does it is usually the fault of the train crew that they were on hand at -that particular moment. Trustees Irvin Stahly and Edward S. Ulery from Locke and Union townships respectively, were on hand from this section aud were fully as much interested as the bus drivers for whom the meeting had been called.

F. B. 0. PICTURE CORPORATION GIVES DISPLAY AT FAIRY Tuesday at the Fairy theatre motion picture exhibitors from cities in this vicinity were guests of the F. B. O. Pictures Corporation at an advance showing of F. B. O. pictures for the coming year. “The Perfect Crime” featuring Clyde Book and Irene Rich, “Gang War,” “Danger Street” and a two reel comedy featurette, “Racing Blood” were filmed for the exhibitors. This is the first feature of this kind presented for the exhibitors in a given territory and theatre managers from Angola, Albion, Kendallville, Ligonier, Plymouth, Argos, Knox, Winamac, North Judson, Wakarusa, and Bremen were in this city as guests of (he Pictures Corporation-. At noon the entire assemblage was taken to the Coppes hotel, where an excellent dinner was served. In connection with the filming of a few of the season’s releases a special feature was given by Neil D. Thompson, distributor for the Photophone. The Photophone is on the same order as the Vitaphone, or talking synchronized with moving pictures, but instead of talking furnished music to be played with the showings. No attempt was made to have music especially for the pictures but the operator picked records from stock as the features were sho.vn aud operated the machine from the back of the theatre while, a loud speaker was placed near the stage. By the manipulation of- the machine perfectly attuned music was constantly being rendered in harmony with the pictures. Music with pictures many times make the picture aud any theatre equipped with a Phototone, which any one can operate with but little experience places music instantly at their command. Guy Loudermilk, manager of the Fairy theatre, furnished the theatre for the convenience of the F B O Corporation for the showing of the pictures and the company’s representative was loud in his praise for the excellent cooperation received in this city. The Fairy theatre is an ex cellent picture house for a community the. size of Nappanee and the exhibitors of the other cities in this vicinity were more than pleased with Nappanee’s facilities for the entertainment of visitors. Misses Beatrice and Velma Manges spent the week-end with Mr: and Mrs. Lawrence Faylor, at South Bend. They spent Monday in Michigan City.

Pen-O-Grams

OF CITY STREETS JUST A MATTER OF TIME Many of the 5 property owners in the city are becoming impatient at the delay of the contractors to finish the paving. The contract for the paving calls for completion September 1 but when a contract is let usually the job is completed whenever the contractor sees fit. Nappanee is unusually blessed with getting work finished on time. A sewer was constructed recently which was to be completed last fall and many citizens still lay claim to the fact that it is not yet completed. Last spring the contract for the street paving was awarded to the Cecil B. Coil Construction company and w-ork was started early enough that the work should uow be completed. A good job of grading and an excellently laid curb put enthusiasm into the ones directly affected. After the comple-j lion of the curb the middle of the! streets are still awaiting the con- • j Crete and they resemble nothing j more than a good place on which to 1 play tennis. The rainy weather of the: last few days anakes the alleys a j poor place to Vavel and property j owners are in hopes that they will • 1,.- given an outlet before suuw flies: STILLSON BROS.

Washington, D. C„ September 6. - A transcontinental round trip at the very outset of the presidential campaign has put Herbert Hoover fa touch with the nation’s point r view. Enroute to and from California, he met. and conferred with party leaders from more than half the states in the union, with the result that he enters the home stretch prepared to concentrate on those issues which the voters have decided shall determine the outcome of the present contest. For the present, the Republics* nominee is devoting all of his time to conferences at his new headquarters here. His recognized penchant for co-ordination of all divisions within an organization again is manifesting itself in the careful working out of the details of a na-tion-wide campaign program. There "ill be nu “hitches” when the drive starts, if Herbert Hoover can help it. and ail of his experience in carrying out huge undertakings is being devoted to that purpose. Ihe eastern states are frankly ad mil ted by Republican Readers to be a battleground, because’the opposi lion is centering its fight there. With this in mind, Mr. Hoover’s first move since his return to Washington ha* been to talk over all phases of the 1 con lest along the Atlantic seaboard. I In that section, as in the others, the Republican nominee has the extra advantage of a tremendous popular. I ity among women voters, and hundreds of neighborhood clubs are being formed by women leaders to encourage women to take an active pan i u the Hoover-Curtis campaign. History seems to be repeating itself in the determination of the tariff issue to push into the front rank. In spite of Democratic efforta to keep the tariff out of the campaign limelight, it becomes increasingly apparent that the old but healthy question of protection for Ameriean production is the pivot on which, hundreds of thousands r votes will turn— most of them to Hoover aud Curtis. I he studied manner iu which both Ihe Democratic platform and the aci eplanet? speech of Governor Smith have avoided the use of the word protection” is generally accepted as prom that the theory underlying Re ' publican tariff making—that it is written purely to protect home industries is not recognized by Democratie leaders, in spite of the high sounding phraseology of their tariff 5 plank. liie effort of tile Democratic ptal- | Im m to adopt the difference in cost of manufacture at home and abroad as the measure of adequate tariff protection recalls that leading Democrats, at. the time of the adoption of the Underwood tariff in 1913, during the Wilson administration, assorted i hat the cost of production theory [had been “absolutely rejected” as a to tariff making. In 1913, the Democratic ways and means Committee repudiated the very tariff theory the. Democratic party of 192,S assumes to be the only correct one,” says Francis A. Adams, well known economist ill New York Uity. ’’Governor Smith would administer to American business the same [sleeping potion as Cleveland aud .Wilson used in 1892 and 1912, Both those Democrats recommended tariff 'reform” immediately after their election, resulting in a lowering of all duties, which made it harder tor American manufacturers to do basiness and to employ labor at good wages and (or American farmers to market their produce at a proSL" FRIENDSHIP CLUB TO MEET WITH MRS.
