Republicans Anxious, Maybe? . An idea that the Indiana Republicans aren't at all sure that they will be able to beat the Indiana state Democratic ticket became obvious over the week-end by some of the statements made by Hobart Creighton, standard-bearer for tfie.Tndiana Republicans. , In an address Saturday, he warned his followers . that the-election was "not in the bag." He told his listeners that the GOP must get out and work to win the election. " Emphasizing that the GOP voters should not be overoptimistic, Mr. Creighton said that it would be "embarrassing at least" for the Republicans if Dewey and Warren should carry Indiana, but the Democrats bury Creighton and Rue Alexander, party aspirant for lieutenant governor, under Democratic votes. Yes, it would be. But it will probably happen. The last time Hemy Schricker ran for governor he ran ahead of the Republicans, who carried the state on the national basis. Mr. .Crieighton might well fear that the same thing will happen this year. .But the important remark in Mr. Creigh ton's address was that there was no excuse for any Republican scratching his ballot. i v if! In other words, there are no good Democrats, only good Republicans, one of the most ridiculous statements ever made. But Mr. Creighton, when the voters of Indiana elect Mr. Schricker as the next Governor of Indiana, will probably find that the voters recognize that there are better men among

me democrat ranks, and return the people of Indiana to, good

southwest corner of this county and later to the township. The date when the Gill family reached Sullivan County cannot be given with assurance, but it is said that one of the name was among the advance pioneers

only member of the territorial

legislatures who- lived within the boundaries of the present Sullivan County. New Treaty Up to this time the country north of the Indian Boundary was not open to settlement, and thus the greater part of cur present county had not bsen redeemed from barbarism. , But in 1809 was effected a treaty with the Indians which not only brought into 'the public domain a large territory including this county, but was one of the causes for the uprising of the Indians' under Tecumseh which preceded 1 the opening of the warof 1812. By the Indian treaty of September SO, 1809, the Indians Ceded all the county between the boundary line established by the treaty of 1803, the Wa-

line drawn

from the mouth of Raccoon Creek in a southeasterly direction to White River. Raccoon Creek is a few miles above Terre Haute, so that by this treaty the United States public domain was extended from

In the vicinity of Carlisle and

vere four block houses during

the first decade of the century, ;ach being the home of' one of

the prominent families of the

county, and each one serving ?s a refuge for the other fam

ilies living nearby. Fort Hadion was built about 1806, and

took its name from the pioneer

sion of an Indian alarm, ana

they naturally "came to be known as Fort Haddon, Fort Holder, etc. Little Information During the first decade of the last century little direct historical testimony can be found concerning the settlers about Carlisle and along the Busseron. An examination of the files of the Vincennes . Western Sun which began publication in -1807, brings to light an occasional item concerning the people of this vicinity. These items are often valuable in fixing the dates of settlement by different families. At that time Vincennes was the business and official center for this county, and the inhabitants on the Busseron went there to get their mail and to transact all business that connected them With the outside world. A list of advertised letters at the Vincennes Postoffjce eti July 1, 1807, discloses two

names that belong to the pioneer i history of this region Samuel! Ledgerwood and Robert Gill. I

Huntingburg Falls To Dugger, 26 To 0 ' Dugger's Bulldogs chalked up their third straight victory of the season Friday night when they downed the Happy Hunters of Huntingburg by a score of 26 to 0. The Hunters held the Dogs to a 7 to 0 lead at .half time, but couldn't hold the Dugger team in the last half. ' The Bulldogs scored in the first quarter when Hall caught a pass and took it over. Another long pass, this one to Arnold resulted in the second Dugger score in the third quarter, and Arnold caught a Huntingburg pass for the .third Dugger score. Cornelius carried the ball across for the fourth touchdown. The game was a rough one with the Bulldogs getting 11C yards in penalties, and Huntingburg being set back 20 yards on penalties. Dugger returns to the homt field next Saturday night when they play the Palestine, Illeleven in a game starting at 8 p. m. ,

Corn growers, confronted with lack of facilities for handling " their record yield this year, now may obtain newly. developed build- "; ings that increase crop value by drying as -well as storing the grain. The new agricultural development is a Quonset 32x36' adaptation C - that handles 5,000 bushels of ear coin. Local dealers can erect and - equip it to receive corn in a few days' time. Drying is accomplished . by forcing air through the corn at the rate of 25,000 cubic feet a " minute. . j ' 1 The Quonset is equipped with special bracing, a motor-driven fan 7'' and a slatted framework which runs lengthwise through the 'building's center. Corn piled around the frame forms a tunnel into which -air is blown. The air Circulates through the corn, absorbs moisture, and escapes through vents at the building's top. The special equip- ' ment can be removed easily when the Quonset is desired for other uses. Another corn-handling unit, the Quonset portable crib feeder, has been developed to eliminate most of the labor in hog production. One ... 500-bushel filling of the crib will feed approximately 40 pigs from l'- : weaning until ready for market. - ,
