'JWjfaK 6/Arthur Brisbane <COLD FEET. HIGH UP BIRTH JH)R TWO I£E, WATER, STEAM SPAIN AND TIIE CHURCH. 8,. — Mr. Hyde, secretary of agriculture | talks plainly on the radio: “The stock market lies. It does not tell the country's real condition." That’s true, it tells how high finance is shoveling out at any price the ten and hundreds .of millions of shares of stock that it printed when fools were buying them. Mr. Hyde also says “cold feet in high places” cause trouble, also a fact. The heart knoweth his own bitterness, those in high places know what fearful “Junk" they unloaded on public during* the boom. No wonder their feet are cold. They would be frozen if this were not, as Lord Northcliffe used to say, “a very do- '< ile people." Premier Bennett of Canada says the worst of the world’s troubles are over, “some nation must start a recovery, why not Canada? The recovery ought to be started by this nation, and it will be before long. Il would have started »«me lime ago, except that financial in- « stitutions had first to shed their bur- • den of worthless stocksti while sacrificing good properties for the sake . of the magic word “liquidity.” When our “cold feet in high places eel warmer a little, you will see a Jhange. The Pullman company, compelled < to cut dividends for lack of earnings, requests permission to make a small I extra charge of 2V per cent when ’ two sleep in one berth. The demand is reasonable. Hotels charge. more for two in a room. When George M. Pullman sold berths in his first cai i running from Chicago to Springfield each berth was sold to two as a mat s ter of course, and each one paid hu> I half. You know the story about the indignant passenger who said to Pullman: “I can’t sleep with that long- | legged man in the berth, his knee? are in my back ” The long-legged one was Abraham Lincoln. Marconi, dnusual dreamer. wh< ’ makes reality of dreams, expects, “momentous discoveries,” including a solution of the great problem, “What, is the world made of?” There is Marconi believes, only one kind of matter, that takes different forms.’The dream of the alchemists could have been made reality had they known how to go about it. Some great philosophers worry because matter, the earth, its moun- | tains, our own bodies are only a collection of atoms, made up of elec trona, particles of electricity, nothing I. real. . a - - Berkley, two hundred years, age. declared that the world had no existence, except in mens minds. But we worry needlessly. Ice isolid, you can skate on it at a certain temperature. When it is wnrmei and liquid you’can swim in it and sail over it. Still warmer, it becomes vapor, in which you can lake a steam bath, and still hotter, it will scald you to death. All this does not mean that ice, water or steam is useless, or unreal, or that we need worry about transformations in matter. she earth is solid enough now, bridges carry loads, cranes lift bur- | dens, man rules his grain of sand in the universe. Time enough to worry millions of years hence, and by that time we shall probably be elsewhere in the universe. The national assembly of Spain has signed article 111 of the new constitution “No official state religion exists." This ends the ago-long connection between church and state in Spain. In addition. Spain’s new government proposes to expel from Spain and seize the property of all religious orders “which take a vow of obedi ence directly to the pope. Walsh of Massachusetts s *y« |he duty of business leaders is to restore prosperity and end the slump, and if business don’t do it, the lawmakers will. It will be interesting to see just what the lawmakers do. Unfortunately, you can’t make prosperity bylaw any more than yyu can make total abstinence by law. Mr. Rogers, who spends much of his Time in airplanes, thinking mtch and writing little, which reve. »es the • usual order, observes that the League of Nations is humble when Japan seems to want a war. Rogers says of the league. “It was a great thing to make the little fellows behave. but when the big fellows want to get away with anything it has no more power tharr a senate ting committee.” Dr. J. M. Powis Smith and Dr. Edgar Goodspeed of the University oi Chicago are rewriting the Bible into an American version. The Lord t prayer will start: “Our Father in heaven, your name 'lss revered. Your kingdom come Your wilt be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Give us today bread tor today,” etc. etc. (Conttnoed m Last Page)

JUDGE ROYSE ADDRESSES FIRST MEETING OF YOUNG REPUBLICANS

Judge L. W. addressed the first meeting of the Young People’s Republican club, which was held in the library, Friday evening, and officers of the organization were elected. Miss Olean Snepp is president; Roscoe Howard, first vice-president; .Walter Smith, secund vice-president; j Mrs. Harry Grieger, secretary; Er- ■ nest Buchholz, treasurer. Directors at large were chosen, two from each (precinct; these being: Eugene Maloy j and Miss Helen Bowld from the first precinct; Floyd Disher and Harry P >rter from the second; and Miss Nell Sprague and Charles Kroh, third. j . The officers and Frank Greene will be delegates to the Junior coni vention to be held Nov. 12 and 13 at Anderson. Acting as chairman of the meeting. Mi- Green introduced Judge gave the history of the Republican party as one who had seen it come into being and watched its growth since that time. He said he, as a little boy, could j remember the birth of the 1856 presidential campaign when General ! Fremont and Buchanan were running for president. News then traveled so slowly it took weeks before they | knew who really had been elected. Then in 1860, Judge Royse re- ; membered, was the tremenduous enthusiasm of the Lincoln-Douglas campaign. “The Republican party came into HURT IN ACCIDENTS Mrs. Roy Brown dislocated her right elbow when she fell froni a step ladder last Wednesday afternoon. . She had called on Mrs. C. M. Vawter, and as they talked the two women ate grapes, picking these from the arbor in back of the house, near where they stood. Mrs. Brown stepped on the second rung of the nearby ladder and as she reached overhead for a bunch of grapes, the rung gave way and she fell on the cement pavement, dislocating her elbow so ghat her forearm was twisted out of shape. She had presence of mind enough to pull forcibly at her wrist and snapped the bones back in place. They helped her home and she came in to the doctor where her arm w-as put in a cast for a few days. It improved so rapidly the cast has been removed but Mrs. Brown’s injury is still painful. Ralph’ Thornburg injured his right hand in an unusual way, Monday. He was breaking ice with an ice pick, at the rear end of the drug store, and did not notice when the wooden head flew off the pick. He brought his hand down forcibly to break up ice and the palm ,of his hand went on the blunt end of the pick sticking up from the ice with such force that it drove the pick nearly through his hand near the middle finger. The injury was treated immediately and is recovering nicely now, Mr. Thornburg says. - — —© ■ — DINNER PARTY HELD.

Residents of Syracuse and vicinity saw the world’s largest dirigible, the Akron, Saturday afternoon, on its return flight from Chicago. One of the airplanes which it carries had been released and was circling it like a tiny bird. The radio had announced it when ship left Chicago, but peo pie here had little hope of seeing it. When a few did they kept the telephone wires hot for a few moments, telephoning their friends tr ge« out i doors and “hava look.” , o — PATIENTS IMPROVING i Mrs. Clarence Snyder, who had a tumor removed in the Goshen hospital last week is reported as improving and returned home yesterday. Earl Darr, who was operat- ! ed on the same day, for appendici- » tis, was able to return to his home Monday.

TO ASK THAT LESLIE CALL LEGISLATURE Township Farm Group Will Petition for Cut in Taxes Officers for the coming year were j elected, and it was decided to circulate petitions through out the township asking that the governor call a special session of the kgisk.ture for the purpose of cutting taxes, when the Turkey Creek Township Farm Bureau met in the High School Tuesday evening. Walker White was elected president for the coming year, succeeding Sherman Deaton who has held the office for four years; Dora Clingernian, vice president; and Vivian Disher, secretary. Mrs. Sherman Deaton was re-elected social and educational directoY. The petitions for the special session of the legislature had been sent to Mr. Deaton by Mr. Taylqr, tax and legislature director of the farm bureau, for circulation among the township. Each township of the state has received similar petitions, asking that tlfe legislature meet to take up the tax question. Unless specially called by the governor the legislature will not meet, until a year from next January. The Turkey Creek Bureau voted to circulate these petitions about the township for signatures, and Dave Clayton, Walter Koher, Mart McClintic, Dora Clingerman and Wilmet Jones will do this worjk. The petitions start by asking that the governor call the special session to change the method of taxation giving the reasons: “That for 10 years agriculture has suffered all the hardships and losses resulting from the unprecedented deflation of farm commodity prices, thereby causing a condition that in terms of farm products more than doubles farm taxes and is still increasing them; . “That our present tax laws are discriminatory and unfair because they tax directly, only the income from property and leave the income from other Sources free of all dirpet taxes; “That tax laws now oh the statutory books are incapablle of successful application to intangible. < and, personal property, a fact that detHjles the tax load on tangible property. “That because of these unfair conditions the owners of real estate both in the city and in the country nvw find taxes so burdensome That their property has little or no sale value because taxes consume the net earning power; . - “That further continuation of our present tax system will bring general confiscation, disaster and ruin t» property owners, and bankruptcy to many political subdivisions of the state.” The meeting of the farm bureau had opened with a song by the assembled group, followed by a program. Miss Lois Kline and Miss Katherine Disher sang a duet, and Miss Pauline Shock gave the reading, “The Punishment of Mary Louise.” Miss Lois Kline gave the reading “O Jack-O-Lantern,” and Lois and Katherine sang another duet, and Katherine gave a reading. Then the Misses Pauline and Irene Shock appeared in costume and acted out the song “W’hen You and I W’ere Young Maggie,” which MrDeaton sang accompanied by Mis. Deaton. On account of the absence .of Clarence Snyder, secretary, Vivian Disher served in his s place. It was announced at the meeting that the district meeting will be held in the Albion Methodist church, Oct. 30. Mr. Townsend is to speak at that time, and the president of the Indiana Farm Bureau and the head 6f the social and educational department will also address this meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Deaton and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Koher were chosen as delegates to the county convention to be held Nov. 7. Alternates are Mr. and Mrs. Dora Clingerman and Mr. and Mrs. Mart McClintic. o ITS SPRING . Last Thursday Louis' Solt brought into the office some samples of early spring mushrooms which he had just picked that morning.
