Good Tailoring
The state board of election commissioners lias decided to give the Progressine ticket fourth place on the ballot for the November election. The only parties to be below the Progressives on the ballot will be the Socialist and Socialist Labor. The order in which the names of the parties will appear on the ballots are: First, Demo cratic; second, Republican; third, Prohibitionist; fourth, Progressive; fifth. Socialist; sixth, Socialist Labor. The action was explained by the board by the str.tement that the Progressives were given fourth place, the station occupied by the people’s party when that party had a ticket in the field. The People’s party will not ask for a place this year, and for that reason its place is given to the Progressives. There is a law on the Indiana statute books, passed a number of years ago, which specifically provides that the name of the Democratic ticket shall be placed first on the ballot and that the name of the Republican ticket shall have second place. The places to be occupied by any other parties are to be determined by the state boerd. '

All the Schools of the County Closed Next Week While Teachers Attend School.
Indianapolis Will Devote All Nex Week In Honor of Hoosier Poet.
All the teachers in Montgomery county will be in attendance at the annual county institute all next week in Crawfordsville, and likewise all the schools in the county are closed for that event. Some splendid talent appears on the institute program and a week of good school work is promised. It is not optional, but compulsory that the teachers attend these institutes, as a part of their regular school year, the date and arrangements for the week of school for teachers being fixed by the county superintendent. There is much serious objection too among the patrons of our public schools to this week of school vacation so soon after school begins and they are asking the question why this* week of county institute was not held before school opened. The young men on the farms are needed badly in the fall just at the time school opens, and more especially in this year of a scarcity of farm hands, and the early opening of school takes him off the farm, and then forces him into a week of idleness only four weeks later and at a between-season for tbe farmer or after other farm help has been procured to take up the young man’s work at home. If it is necessary for the state of Indiana, and the school patrons by taxation, to pay for this week of school for our public school teachers, why shouldn’t these same patrons make an objection to taking a week out of the school term for the purpose, when the county institute could just as well have been held before school opened and with no detriment to anybody?
For good tailoring, backed by steadfast loyalty, let us send your orders to A. E. Anderson & Co., of Chicago.
Durihg the second week in October, James Whitcomb Riley, the beloved Hoosicr poet, will be I he center of the greatest ovation ever tendered an American writer. October 7 is the poet’s fifty-ninth birthday, but owing to the fact that the celebration in his honor will bo of such proportions that it will be impossible to confine It to one day, it has been decided to extend it over a period of six days, beginning Monday, October 7, and ending Saturday, October 12. Indianapolis, Mr. Riley’s home town, has taken the lead in this event, but the movement has spread like wildfire and it is doubt ful whether there is a city or town in the United States which will not have one or more events scheduled in honor of the poet who through the medium of his verses has struck a responsive chord in every breast and has succeeded in bringing poetry home to the people. Riley programs have long been popular with literary clubs and during Riley week these programs will take on an added interest. Mr. Riley is widely known for his love of children. Like his great predecessor, Longfellow, he has been able to fathom the beauties of the child nature better than most men, and many of his best poems have been written for, or about children. For this reason “Riley Week” will be generally observed in the schools with special exercises.

WANT NATIONAL SYSTEM
Farmers to Meet to Get Plans for Marketing Their Crops.
The Farmers Society of Equity, of which J. A. Everitt of Indianapolis is president, has issued a call to local and district organizations of producers of grain, live stock, cotton, vegetables, fruits, rice, poultry, eggs, dairy products and others for the conference to be held at Indianapolis Thursday, Oct. 3, to plan and if possible, complete a nations! system for marketing farm crops. One thousand five hundred and sixty-two such associations have been addressed. An invitation has been extended to each state experiment station, each agricultural college and to each officer in charge of agricultural interests in each state.
Just to Attract Attention!
Dr. Hurty, the valiant and persistent knight of cleanliness and purity, has at last tilted his lance in the direction of the farmer and in characteristically vigorous language denounces the average country home as breeding place of filth and disease. Doubtless what he says is true of some farms and of some localities but it is altogether likely that he has adopted thi« exaggerated style for the purpose of making an impression. Perhaps it is necessary for him to do this in order to attract attention and get the public aroused. But it is safe to.say that the conditions he so vividly pictures are not general in Montgomery county or in'any of the advanced rural communities of which Montgomery county is so excellent a type. —Crawfordsville Journal.

No man in America has more friends than James Whitcomb Riley. During the years he traveled as a lecturer he met thousands of people, who, attracted by his magnetic personality, became warmly attached to him. There are hundreds of thousands more who have never met him personally, but who are his friends nevertheless. They are the ones who have been reached by his verses, for so sympathetic is this great man that it would be hard indeed
Attorney General Thomas A. Honau has handed out a decision which will interest a large number of young men who will become of age the day after the coming election which will be on Nov. 5. “I will be of age at 15 minutes after 12 o’clock, Nov. 6,” wr.ote a young man. “Will I be entitled to vote ?’’

That something is wrong with the churches most people will admit. Religion is what it ever has been. There is no change in it and there never will be. The teachings of the Bible are right. The gospel is all it ever was. Salvation can be secured in the one way and that way is shown by the Bible teachings. All the sinners but all can be saved. God is. Christ, his son, is the way of salvation. These things stand. But there is something wrong with the church. The high church cfficials.the preachers and the church members tell us that. The attendance is not good. Enthusiasm among the membership is not what it once was, is not what it ought to be. Even common interest seems to be lacking. Revivals fail to revive. Doctrines backed by argument fail to convince. People pay their money to support the various lines of church work but not bo liberally or so willingly as they once did. There is something wrong. What is the answer?
The August crop report of the agricultural department shows up better than was expected, and the recent rains will yet increase the crop, especially of corn, which is now rated at 80 ger cent, of normal; the average yield of winter wheat is placed at 15.1 bushels an acre; spring wheat 90.4 of normal; oats crop is up at 90.3 of normal, the average yield of oats is placed at 31.9 bushels an acre. The Indiana average is said to be higher than the above figures.
“Sure,” replied the attorney general. “You will be as much entitled to vote under a ruling of the supreme court as any veteran soldier who fought in the war of 1861. Go to it.”

to find a man, woman or child who does not appreciate Riley. Although Mr. Riley is recognized as a great poet by critics of the sternest school, he prefers to be known as a humble singer who raises his voice that humanity may be benefitted by a little of life’s sunshine. He has found the good elements of everything and so optimistic is his philosophy that he has never found it necessary even to hint at the sorbid things of life. This is one of the reasons why he has won so large an audience and why, when he was simply writing a daily column of verse for an Indianapolis newspaper, long before his name was well known, he attracted the attention of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There is no more popular man in Indianapolis than James Whitcomb Riley, and this popularity does not come merely from the fact that he is a world figure. He was popular long before he was famous and when in his presence one forgets the fact that ho is the greatest American poet. He is just a man, simple, unassuming, likable. His fellow townsmen have always taken pride in doing him honor, and that pride will be greater than ever during the celebration of “Riley Week.”

Last Indiana Log Jail.
The log jail of Brown comity must go. The grand jury has so recommended and the commissioners are in favor of doing away with the old landmark. It is purposed to include with the new jail a dwelling for the sheriff. The log jail is the last of its kind in the state and has been the object point of tourists for many years. The jail is a two-storied affair and contained only two cells, the one above having been used to detain women prisoners. The walls are about three feet thick, there are no windows and there never was known a prisoner to have escaped from the jail.

Monied men, financiers in Wall St., and others, foretell a very prosperous season before us, and base their prediction upon tha largo farm crops that are being reported, One authority declares that the outlook is for the largest gross farm production, and if prices should continue anywhere near as high as they are now in average, the tillers of the soil will reap the fattest returns of any year since the republic was born.
