OFF TO A GOOD START The Democratic campaign in Indiana is now officially underway following the "kick-off" held at French Lick last
JKriday and Saturday. The banquet, which brought to a close the two-day Democratic Editorial Association outing, was factual proof of the vigor in which Indiana Democrats will carry out the party's forthcoming platform. ' Former Governor M. Clifford Townsend, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, Pleas Greenlee, state chairman, Frank McHale, -National Committeeman and Henry F. Schricker, also a former governor, headed the rousing program that officially opened the 1946 Democratic campaign. The stake is large the United States senator ship, control of the lower house of the general assembly, eleven seats in congress, county and township offices and key posts in the statehouse. All these are worth fighting for and the Democrats gave notice this past Week-end that Republicans are on their way out. A few breaks may change the trend in Indiana, so close is the balance of the two parties, and this fall is shaping up as another traditional election year with both Republicans and Democrats seeking the majority of the all-powerful votes in no uncertain terms.

LND THE AMERICAN ECONOMY
- In a speech before the House, Representative Ellis
West Virginia described the contribution made by the coal tion
industry to the economy of this country.
i They take note of ; it .particularly in viewidf the fact that ihis

and so forth.
They make note of
the fact
Coal is a billion-dollar industry in that state alone. It is that the same reactionary, anti-
the state's largest taxpayer, its largest employer of labor, I Iabor bl11 (ve,tof by. ent and its largest consumer of electric power. Looking at coti
. from 'a national point of view, it is essential to almost all ! other basic industries. It takes 14 pounds of coal to make .'
one pound of aluminum. It requires 18 tons of coal to make the steel for a truck of the four-ton Army size. And coal -powers 94 per cent of all railroad locomotives, and heats four out of seven American homes. i

They note that these same reactionaries, among them the usual Indiana voting team of

During the next three years, the industries of this om.int,lf.aion orinosed opa and

LADY THROWS CANE AWAY AFTER TAKING NEW RHU-AID FORMULA One lady, who was unable to walk 6 weeks ago4 due to rheumatic pains, says she is enjoying a normal life once again since she took RHU-AID. In fact, she says she has thrown her cane away. This lady had to stay in the house for weeks at a time, unable to get out much. Rheumatic pains centered in the joints of her knees and ankles. She says she felt stiff all over. But in less than a week's time, when she started taking RHU-AID, the awful rheumatic pains disappeared from her legs and ankles. She is well and happy today and says she wouldn't take a fortune for the relief RHU-AID has. given her. RHU-AID is the new liquid formula containing three valuable medical ingredients. These Three Great Medicines, all blended into one, go right to the very cause of rheumatic and neuritic aches and pains. Miserable people soon feel different all over. So don't go on suffering! Get RHU-AID. Bennett's Drug Store. Adv.

Workers generally believe that a Congressman really fitted to hold such a 'job, interested enough to stay on the job, and open-mind?d enough to represent al his constituents, and not jUst a powerful few, might well deserve the pay-raise they have voted themselves. But the workersand they represent 80 of the voting public will tell you quite- frankly and name names, what they think certain of their present so-called Representatives are worth. They are wryly amused tho at the way Congress went about this pay-raise, coyly declining to name $5,000 as the desired amount, but voting instead to take
$2500 plus $2500 "expense money," free of taxational! Also rejecting the proposed $8,000 a year for a high-powered assistant because they were afaraid the assistant might become too powerful a rival for their seats!

It's going to take many new freight cars to deliver all the good things that you, and the rest of America, want and need. The great rail fleets that carried nine-tenths of the nation's wartime freight worked without reinforcement. The U. S. was too busy with other tasks to build freight cars. Since V-J Day many have been ordered, but deliveries are behind schedule. To help right now, the Illinois Central is buildin ,7.r)0 new cars in its own shops, hopes to have most of them workingr Illinois Central customers before the year's end. The new cars will include 500 boxcars, 300 automobile cars, 500 flatcars and 450 hopper cars, all welcome additions to the Illinois Central's fleet of 49,000 freight carriers. These new cars mark another step in our program to provide transportation second to none. The Illinois Central intends to earn your continued patronage and friendship. W. A. JOHNSTON. President

Jenny produced a beer-can opener
IT was days before Virginia noticed the old lady in Ward Eight. Oh, she knew that the old lady's name was Jenny and that she had one of the private cubicles called bedrooms. But she had never really noticed her until Jenny asked her to tea. "tea" was a can of pineapple juice Jenny had on her window sill. Virginia asked if she should take the can to a nurse to be opened. Jenny winked and produced a beercan opener. Virginia was horrified. There was a strict rule about things of this sort. And here sat Jenny with a beercan opener, And you couldn't tell on a fellow patient. The juice was served in paper cups and accompanied by crackers. During the party Jenny told Virginia her personal history. All the time she talked she toyed with the opener. Virginia could not keep her eyes off it and was

glad when she could leave the old lady's room. On the following days there was no way to get out of "tea" with Jenny. The old lady seemed to have a very peculiar look in her eyes. Before long Virginia was under the impression that Jenny was planning to kill her. She never mentioned Jenny to Robert when he came to visit. She could not add to his worries. He would think she had got a worse persecution complex. She thought, Maybe I have. But the sharpness of that opener was not imagined. How easily it bit into a can. "Don't sit so far away," Jenny would say. "I'm a little deaf. Come closer, my dear." And then one afternoon Virginia knew it was going to happen. Jenny opened a can, as usual, but then she set it back on the window ledge. She wiped the opener on her

dress and sat looking at it a long time. Then she looked at Virginia. "A penny for your thoughts, dear," she said. Virginia sprang up and ran to the office. "Why, Virginia," a nurse said, "what's the niaUer?" Virginia tried to think. It had been urgent to reach a nurse but she could not remember why. Something awful was going to happen to her. "Get my doctor, please," she said, as the floor began to soften and swirl. "Take it easy," said the nurse. "Miss Jones! All right, Virginia . . . just hang on to me. Miss Jones get . . ." "Il's never happened this way before," gasped Virginia. She thought, I never had such definite warning. The nuv?? opened a door. "There's the doctor." Virginia could tell hs . was running but would not reach her in time ... ' ' (Continued tomorrow)
