Buettner, Associate Editor Thursday, October 25, 1928 “liiow not what the truth may he, I tell it as ’teas told to me.”—Editor. HALLOWE’EN Hallowe’en, tfie eve of AU Saints Day, is a Christian institution. Yet like some other* occasions of Christian observance it has practices that are of pagan origin. It is related that on or about November 1 the Druids burned fires in honor of the Sun-god in thanksgiving for the harvest. They also believed that Saman, lord of death, called together at this time the wicked souls that had inhabited the bodies of men. There still survives in some parts of Ireland the term “Virgil of Saman” for October 31. The Romans also had a festival on November 1 in which thanks were given to the goddess Pomona for fruits ot the trees. From these customs comes our Thanksgiving Day. It is easy to trace from pagan history the Hallowe’en practices that have survived to this day—the ducking for apples, the bonfires, the use of witches, gobbhns and pumpkin heads in decoration and disguise. We do not believe, as did people of a former day, that witches and their black cats ride broomsticks across the, moon on Hallowe’en, and Cupid’s lotteries ,of the apple paring and the lookingglass do not attract this generation as they did our ancient forefathers, but enough remains of the old order to keep alive interest in this night of magic and hobgoblins. ——_—. —o “The Road to Ruin’,’ is a picture every one ought to see Thursday and Friday, at Crystal, Ligonier. baTdespaired of HEALTH; THEN SHE HEARD OF KONJOLA Severe Miseries Os The Stomach Banished By Use Os This New Remedy. r MRS; IDA PA’ISON “I rejoice to recommend Konjola, for I know, from delightful experience, what it has done for me,” says Mrs. Ida Parson, 815 South Buckeye Street, Kokomo, Indiana. “ My stomach had been in a terrible condition for a long time,” continues’ Mrs. Parson. **l was run down generally, had headaches and dizzy spells; I could not sleep, but rolled and tossed in pain. Gas formed after I ate anything, and bloating and pains around the heart felt like they would stop my breathing. I simply dragged through each day, and was discouraged beyond words. “Konjbla relieved me quickly and permanently. A short treatment, and my pains vanished, appetite returns, and with rvfy organ functioning properly I picked up strength rapidly. Today I am enjoying better health than I have for years, and Konjola did all this .for me after everything else had failed; I hope that all who suffer as I did will give Kpnjola Hie chance to make them well.” Konjola is sold in Syracuse, Ind., at Thornburg’s and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

Our Business Creed 1. To build au institution so soundly that no one ean ever rightfully doubt its integrity. 2. To sell merchandise so good that the simple truth about it will always be an adequate recommendation: one priced so fairly that its value can never be questioned. 3. To regard our interest and those of our customers as one and indivisible; to place the permanent satisfaction of the users of our merchandise forever above any temporary advantage to ourselves —in short to earn public confidence by deserving it. and then to regard it as a sacred trust. 4. To these purposes we dedicate ourselves. BACHMAN’S SOUTH SIDE Isaas Wagner is still on the sick list. Mrs. Will Cripe of Goshen spent last week with friends here. Mrs. Merl Laughlin and Mrs. W.

This is the warning which the United States biological survey and many states are broadcasting because the hares and rabbits throughout the country are infected with a disease called tularemia. This debilitating disabling and sometimes fatal disease can be transmitted from rabbits to humans. There were 500 deaths traced to the disease last year. MILLIONS FOR HIGHWAYS At the November election voters in six states will decide upon the question of issuing $330,000,000 in highway bonds. Five or six other states are considering added highway bond issues which may aggregate $500,000,000 for the completion of state highway systems. This will prove a good market for some of the surplus capital now going to Europe. o — ‘ The Blue Danube.” a splendid picture at Crystal, Ligonier, next Sunday and Monday. October 28 and 29,
