Got. Landon’s Letter Cheers Sick Youth CHICAGO, ILL.—A fellowship of experience between Alex Oskirko, 17, and Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican nominee for President, has eased the long days on a sickbed for the boy. Alex was injured in a football scrimmage, osteomyelitis set in and now he is a chronic invalid, subject to continual pain. Gov.

ALEX OSKIRKO Landon heard of the case in conversation witha fi iend. As a result, Alex got this letter: “Dear Alex: Just today I learned of you. I want you to know that you have my deepest personal admiration for the magnificent fight you are making to regair ycuf health and strength. “You may have heard t .at, as a boy, I too suffered an accident in a football game while a student in the Marietta academy at Marietta, O. While not as serious as youfs, that accident forced me to give up football playing. “Keep your chin up, old man, and let's look forward to the day when you are strong again and we can sit down together and talk over the game of football. “Alf L andon.’* Canadian Editor Gapes at Roosevelt Squandering TORONTO,Can.—Canadian editors and, readers are noting the spending program of the Roosevelt administration. The Financial Post of Toronto, a non-partisan publication, quotes an article in the Sphere of Washington (a monthly magazine of fairly broad views, published by Whaley-Eaton) as saying: “He (Roosevelt) is the most extravagant ruler ever known to recorded history. Not even Solomon, who left the people of his country impoverished, could hold a candle to him. He has dipped into the stored reserves of the nation—those reserves which were created by sweat and blood of men and women—and he has squandered them like a prodigal. “Nor has that contented him. He has ’dipt into the future far as human eye can see' and mortgaged eve’ything in sight. He has raided the integrity of every insurance policy in the United States. He has flung the shadow of a possible inflation, worse than a pestilence, over every hearthstone in the country. For every one person to whom he could possibly promise economic security, he has deprived ten of that security.” “Sunflower Salad” la Campaign Dish KANSAS CITY, MO.-Even a luncheon dish can come out for Gov. Alf M. Landon for President Mrs. Thomas Coyle, of 4144 Locust sheet, delights Republican guests by serving her “Sunflower Salad”. Here’s her recipe: Dice contents large can “fruit salad" and drain into bowt Remove rind from two oranges, cube and add to fruit Add juice at one lemon to fruit juices. Add juices and required amount of warm water to contents of two packages of gelatine, stirring mixture till clear. When almost set, add fruit Mold mixture in shallow sauce dishes. Unmold on lettuce leaves. Around each mold place sliced canned peaches for sunflower petals. Chopped dates and pecan meats, moistened with mayonnaise to make a paste, form the center (which should be big enough to look like a sunflower and not a daisy, aays Mrs. Coyle). Garnish with mayonnaise and vote for Landon and Knox. I Average Farmer $197 Loser Under Roosevelt Chicago.—The Roosevelt administration paid the average farmer $l7B in benefit checks while loadl ing an increase of $373 in national debt upon him up to June 30, 1836, says a statement by the farm division of the Republican National committee here. I “Government appropriations for ;the four year period, beginning ! March 4, 1933.” says the statement, | “greatly exceed the value of all I farms in the United States. They amounted to $37,499,976,000. The ! value of rural real estate and buildings in 1935 was $33,838,844,000.” WaOaeo Writes for G. O. F. Chicago.—Daniel A. Wallace, uncle of the New Deal secretary at agriculture, is writing a series at articles tor the farm and lay press, as a member of the farm divirioo at the Republican National coremittre here.

Millions Honor Landon on His 49th Birthday TOPEKA, KAS.—“Landon day” was celebrated for the first time on September 9 by millions of Americans who expect that Alf M. Landon, governor of Kansas, will be the next president of the United States. It will be the 49th birthday of Alf Landon, Republican nominee for president and governor of Kansas, a “typical prairie state.” In the nation - wide Landon celebration many friends and admirers in Pennsylvania, the state of his birth, and Ohio, where he spent his bjyhood, sent greetings to Gov. Landon. The Republican National Committee celebrated the day by issuing a new Landon campaign poster. This will be distributed throughout the country. It shows a recent portrait of Gov. Landon. Besides the usual heading, “Gov. Alf M. Lan- < don, Republican nominee for president,” it carries the following caption which holds him up as a new national leader: “That leadership along the trail. Which we have loved long since. And tori awhile, Has come to us again.” New Deal Spending Would Buy All Land in 3 States KALAMAZOO, MICH. - Money spent by the Roosevelt administration this year is enough to purchase, at *IOO an acre, all the 36,000,000 acres of land in Michigan, the 14.000,000 acres in Indiana and the 35,000,000 acres in Wisconsin, David W. Davis said here in an address before the Kalamazoo County Republican club. “As a nation, we are wealthy beyond the dreams and comprehension at man but we cannot yet comprehend the meaning of a billion dollars and the least appreciation at this vast sum is held by the men in Washington who are distributing the taxpayers* billions,” said the speaker, former governor of Idaho and assistant secretary of the interior during the Coolidge Administration. 81a to Destroy Feed To destroy food and raiment b a sin, and the Bible tells you ao.

County Will Receive Share of Gross Tax $124,344 To Be Distributed Among Schools and Dependents In Kosciusko Kosciusko county will receive 126,380 of gross income tax in 1937 for schools, old age pensions and assistance for the blind and dependent children, according to offical estimates submitted today to Governor Paul V. McNutt, and announced at Indianapolis. The toital distribution to the county is divided as follows in the estimate: Schools $97,500.00 Pensions and assistance $28,880.00 Total ... $126,380.00 This distribution of gross income tax means that Kosciusko county will receive from the state next year more money than the people of the county paid the state in gross income taxes for the 1936 fiscal year. As compared to the total distribution of $126,380.00, total tax collections from the county were $75,424.81—a difference of $50,955.19 in the county’s favor. Thus the money spent by residents of the county in larger cities and the money taken from the county by concerns with offices in other cities was returned in part to help pay the cost of government in the county. Money to be sent here by the state would have to be raised by local property taxation if the gross income tax were repealed. If the distribution next year were not made, an increase of thirty-two cents in the average tax rate for the county would be necessary, according to present valuations. The Governor, however has obligated the administration to the full distribution and it will be made unless the gross income tax law is repealed.

DEMOCRATIC CHOICE FOR CONGRESS

—~ t I

Hugh A., Barnhart Believing that 260,278 people who live within the confines of the Second Congressional District would be interested in the pre-election activities of a congressional nominee, a representative of the press interviewed Hugh A. Barnhart, Democratic nominee for some sidelights on his campaign to date. Mr. Barnhart stated his district is comprised of thirteen counties which cover an area over 150 miles in length an dllO miles in breadth, and from his own recital of his campa-gn activities, the reader may form his own opinion as to whether a congressional candidate has much to do. Continuing Mr. Barnhart stated: “The mileage record of my Ford, which I checked on the day I was nominated up to the present date, reveals I have traversed exactly 11,241 miles, all within the borders of the Second District. I visited all of the thirteen counties early in the spring, becoming acquainted with party leaders and workers and forming the groundwork for the precept campaign.” The congressional nominee’s bookings for the remander of his campaign call for a visit in one county each day and a meeting each night, as well as joining in each political meriting where state or national speakers are appearing in his district, and this of course means thousands of additional miles. “About the middle of August,” Mr. Barnhart stated, “I again started my trips and since that date until the present, I have been in every county at least twice and several as often as six times. I have conversed with the voters and addressed meeting in all of the counties. In these contacts with the voters, I have aired my views with citizens from all walks of life and while some disagree to the methods of our administration and other point to mistakes which have been made, yet nearly all agree that the Roosevelt administration has and is doing a wondeiful job in restoring prosperity in the district and nation. Everywhere, I find the farmers are especially apprecative for what has been accomplished in their behalf. Several of them relate how their homes were saved and how their mortgages have been refinanced through government aid. These farmers, as a whole frankly give credit to the Roosevelt administration for what already has been done for them and are positive an even more constructive program will be carried through during the coming four years.” Mr. Banrnhai t stated he has stressed the import of President Roosevelt having a congress that will carry out the administration plans and that the people of the Second Indiana District have representation in Washington which win work whole-heartedly for their interests. He argues that with President Roosevelt in the Whitehouse for another four yean, it is most imperative that the congressman be of the same party, in order that the interests of the individual, community and district may be properly represented.

Loans Add 400 Million to Roosevelt Deficit WASHINGTON. - Fresh borrowing added 400 million dollars to the deficit of the Roosevelt administration in mid-Septem-■ber, according to an announcement by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., j secretary of the treasury. The addition might reach a total of ' 440 millions, he admitted. The United States deficit on Sept. 9, before the new borrow- , ing, was 414 million 551 thousand. During President Roosevelt’s administration the national debt increased from 21 billion to more than 33 billions. SCHOOL NEWS Baseball The Syracuse High School baseball team was defeated by Leesburg, Friday evening in an extra inning game by a 9-7 score. Bukels home - run in the third inning was the feature play of the game. Nearly all of last years team graduated and coach Neff is depending oi. freshmen material to build a new team. The Buk- i el-Halsy battery should win some games with a little help in the other positions. Frida yevening this wek, Syracuse plays at North Webster and next Tuesday evening, Sept. 22, Milford plays at Syracuse. Begin Band Program The beginners* band program is getting under way and there are about sixty pupils that are interested. The plans at present are to have a beginners band at the elementory building, consisting of pupils in the fourth and fifth and sixth grades, also one at the high school bulding consisting of seventh and eighth grade pupils. _ The first band has only 22 members this year but is very well balanced and promises a real band in a few months. Friday at 12:45 in the high school auditorium, representatives from the Conn Band Instrument factory and Mr. Grstafson, the new band teacher will give a demonstration to beginning pupils and their parents, with the various band instruments. All parents that are interested should come to the high school Friday at 12:45 and see this demonstration. Pupils will be tested on various instrumentsand parents will be asked to partially decide which instrument they would like to have their child play. It is very important those interested parents come to this demonstration, as it will be hard for a pupil to enter the band after it is org- j anized. New Pupils New pupils in High School this term: 11th grade Opal Miller; 10th grade Annie Weatherholt; 9th grade Ruby Nicolai and Adrain Warstler; Bth grade Rosetta Goble, Beverly Walter, James Hughes.

Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, announced today. The open season •rill apply to the entire state with only cock birds to be taken and a possession limit of four birds. Establishment of an open season on cock pheasants for Hoosier sportsmen marks the inauguration of a new field sport and one that has been' an ticipated with eagerness. Liberation of pheasants was started in Indiana several years ago as a means of building up a sufficient supply to add pheasant hunting to the quail and rabbie shooting which attracts thousands of sportsmen each fail. Propagation of pheasants for liberaition has been carried on extensively during the past three years at the state game farms and with the cooperation of local conservation clubs. Approximately sixty thousands pheasants have been distributed from the game farms during the past three-year period with other thousands liberated by conservationists who had been furnished eggs by the Division of Fish and Game.

timated that approximately fifteen thousands pheasants will be liberated by conservation clubs this year. As a guide to the stock of pheasants ’now in the state, the Department of Conservation is asking that all hunters taking pheasants during the three day open season, report the number taken and the approximate location. This information will be valuable in future stocking operations and will be a basis upon which propagation schedules can be determined. Blanks on which to make these reports will be distributed by game wardens, county clerks and agencies issuing hunting licenses. Provision for an open season on pheasants was made by the general Assembly in 1935 but the open season on pheasants was delayed after a survey of the state was made and the State Conservation Committee recommended delaying the open season until 1936. The order providing for the three-day open season on I 'birds and fixing the possession limit at four—bag limit two in any one day, hunting, shooting, killing, puri suit or possession of a cock pheas- ! ant at any time other than during the specified open season, except under a breder’s permit issued by the Division of Fish and Game. ■ known for years as the Jones’ hll.
