NEWS HEMS lIS VIEWED FROM TIE - EDITOR'S STANDPOINT POLICE SHOOT PROWLER Wilfred Warner. 21. of 537 James street, Elkhart, is in the Elkhart General hospital with a bullet wound j just below his right hip as the result of failing to comply with an Elkhart police officer’s command to halt. Warner >vas being sought on “peeping ToriT charfte ami the policeman wanlying in ambush at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schmalzried, 907 Princeton street, Elkhart, “ Friday night waiting for him when he appeared. Old enough to know better you say and yet he is fairly certain that this man thought as little of consequences as the young men of this city who at the present time are “playing pranks” in their own way. This mail’s modi cine may be hard to swallow but it is a warning for all to "keep their nose out of other people's bnsiness.” RESIGNS SUNDAY SCHOOL POSITION : I Resignation from his position as I Sunday school superintendent, elder] and chairman of the hoard of the First Christian church was the answer of It. (1. Estili so criticism of his activities on behalf of A1 Smith, democratic nominee for president. Estili is president of the A1 Smith for President club. He formerly was a republican. Estili evidently believes that AI Smith and religion do not go hand in hand and he preferred his political activities to religious work. Christ can wait but A) Smith must be elected at once and no time or effort is to be wasted AT PALACE THEATER SOUTH BEND Three- acts are equally featured starting Sunday at Die Palace theater South Bend. These - are Frances Renault, Nordstrom and Hartford and Laßclie Pola. The former is the famous female impersonator whose gowns are said to represent a king's ransom. The! wardrobe displayed by this international star who seems to be a compo- [ site of the world’s expert manikins | represents sSjO.O<>(* worth of finery, j This display of gorgeous gowns seems to fully justify his title of “A Slave of Fashion. ’’ His impersonations are Splendid bits of character acting, but to the fair sex at least, it is his costumes that carry the wider appeal, Nordstrom -and' Hart ; ford arc a capable pair of funsters! who combine singing, dancing: and | music in their entertaining skit La i Belle Pola, is a most wonderful monk j and offers something entirely now j and original in animal i raining. Harry Jolson, brother of the famous j A1 John in, and a clever blackface comedian and Singer himself, is prominent on the hill. Ales and Darling, a clever comic and a pretty girl and another ,ict completes the bill. Scheduled for Thursday and the balance of the week are Chain arid Stam. original funsters ill a skit that is a perfect blend of harmony, melody and fun: Masters.

SOFT WINTER WHEAT PRICES WILL PROBABLY REMAIN STRONG IN 1929 (Contributed) Farmers may be interested in the outlook for prices on soft winter wheat for the coming year. The soft winter wheat production in 192S has been the lowest in years and is commanding a good premium over other varieties of wheat. There was no carry over of soft wheat and (here is not much probability of there toeing much, if any, carried over from the 192S crop. This should result in fairly good prices for soft! winter wheat like that grown around Nappanee, during 1929. Kansas and spring wheat cannot. fee used in any quantities for the working of pastry hour for cakes, 1 pies, etc. The bakers and house-: wives must have soft winter wheat i Hour for such purposes. Prices on western wheats will probably remain fairly low during 1928 and the forepart of 1929. But soft, winter wheat should command a premium on account. of the low production this year and no surplus.

FIGURES DISPEL A SMITH MYTH Returns Indicate the Governor Makes Poor Showing in Rural New York. HAS BEEN LOSING GROUND Ag ricultural Districts Vote Against Him —Strength Diminishes Rapidly From 4922 Peak. Election statistics mark the fact that the great political popularity of Governor Smith in his own State is A Democratic fiction. He has gained public support as the State executive only In New York City, and he has invariably failed to gain it outside of that city. .As candidate for Governor he would have been defeated, outside of New York City, at each of the four elections where that city gave him the office, and usually he would have been snowed under. He would have failed by net lossfes ranging from 93,000 to 410.000 votes. Election statistics show tlmt he hag been a local leader only. He has never become a State leader because he has never gained the confidence of the State at large. Without the indispensable support of the Tammany organization in New York he would have remained a small factor In the politics of his State—a mere local politician. T.he same statistics manifest that the last two of Smith's elections are far from proving that "he has made any gain in the conlidence of the State at large. On the contrary, these last two elections prove that he has lost a considerable share of the support he had previously received in the districts outside of Tammany control. In 1922 he lost rural New York State, hut he carried thirteen of the fifty-seven up-State Counties. In the presidential election year of 1924 he captured but one up-State county —Albany, the official home county of the parly in power. Two years later, in 1926, he recovered no more than three of the twelve up-State counties lost in 1924; and he lost the State, ■ ; . his usual Tammany controlled il :i lin New York City, by upwai sos • times as many votes as 1. - To'.': ft tie one year (1922) when te s • ht to become a real State ' ader. That is. at his last election, . ,vo years ago, he lost up-State by 236,350 votes, as against his corres aiding loss of only 93,278 votes in L 22, The indisputa: figures of the election returns thir record that, despite Smith’s nation: ! ambitions, he has, during his last ' .’n terms as Governor, retired a ]or><> - backward from his desired, but unattained, post as a true State leader, to his old, original rank as a successful city politician. Cocliclge Security I consider it my duty to carry forward the principles of the Republican party and the. great obj. lives of President Coplidge’s polici* .—all of which have’brought our country such a high degree of happiness, progress, and security.— Herbert Hoover. Ten Thousand Gommanrunents The basic principles laid down in the Ten Commandments ; :<d the Sermon on the \uint are as applicable today as when they were declared, but they require a host of sub-, sidiary clauses. The ten ways to evil in the time of Moses have increased to ten thousand now, — Herbert Hoover. Praises Hoover
