OCTOBER PROMISES VARIED WEATHER First Half of Month Will Be Warmer and Stormier Than Last Fart. Jupiter Influences Felt. (By O. D. Harbaugh) Summer is past and September is passing rapidly (written Sept. 28) and we have compared our Sept, forecasts with the daily weather changes as seen locally and reported by the press and by the weather bureau and ate satisfied with the guess. The first two weeks were quite warm, the Mercury mounting to record breaking temperatures for September. We stated that a Mercury solstice would tend to influence the 2nd and 3rd storm periods, central near 10 and 14th, while severe* storms would probably sweep in over the gulf. Our records show that beginning with the 11th, we experienced a 5 day period of rain and storm unequalled this year, during w‘hich 4.69 in. rainfall. As this storm swept eastward a high barometer swept in from the northwest sending the mercury to ‘4 4 and the weather bureau reports killing frosts all along the Canadian border one week earlier than in 1924. We are now in the last storm period of the month. We listed the 27 as the central day of th e period and during Saturday night 1.U4 inches rain fell and while the moon is far south and only past first quarter a Mercury equinox is approaching which will tend to blanket the land with clouds and aid in keeping up the temperature till the moon reaches full Oct. Ist, then crossing the equator 2nd to reach northern extreme by 9th, all warming influences, so that the first half of October will probably be warmer and stormier than the last part. Note cloudy days at least. The Jupiter influence will become more noticeable in freakish weather over all the earth for the next year or so and we must consider his power at all periods. At this time we also find a Mercury equinox central on the 4 th, a regular storm- period central near the Sth, a Venus, solstice on the 11th, moon’s positions have been given, Venus and sun ipass to conjunction on 7th, while Jupiter stands at quadrature same day—■ all tending to produce more stormy than fair days. We will not be surprised to read of West Indian hurricanes, far east typhoons (Japan and Philippines)", while quakes will no doubt be felt in the north half of the United States and across to Japan near the 8 to 10. Again, when the moon crosses the equator south bound the 16. turning new 17th, equatorial quakes are quite probable. Owing to the Mercury influences we will no doubt escape a frost at this time but after new moon the 17th to first quarter the 24th the temperature will drop sharply and what vegetation that remains green and growing will feel the changes. Os the 6 storm periods of the month the first three promises to be the most severe, with more Indian summer days in the latter part though the month promises to go out stormy and cold. We have had the mighty Jupiter influencing the weather the past year more than for years and we have noted some weather freaks that we in our short study of meteorology will attribute to some extent at least to his power or influence. Both Ireland and India have had an excessive rainfall. Japan has suffered more from quakes the past 18 months than for 10 years before. Th P Rio Grande valley has experienced the wettest summer in its history. The northern half of the United States from '•oast to coast has experienced more quakes than has occurred in years before. Mt. Shasta, California, has become quite warm. All vegetation on the mountain side dying off. The MacMillian arctic party was forced to return on account of severe storms. If we are permitted to liv e to observe the weather till the next Jupiter equinox which will fall late in 1931 or ’32 we may know or prove how much or little of these weather freaks are caused by the great planet. Make the most of October’s bright blue weather to gather in the corn as while November is not normally a stormy month, the days are quite short and soon pass and there are several storm periods that promise enough disagreeable weather for many parts of our land. St. Joseph Co. Dairymen Placed On Honor Roll In recognition of their achievements in developing herds of dairy cows to a yearly production of over 200 pounds butterfat, six members of the St. Joseph county cow testing association have been placed upon the Honor roll of the National Dairy Association.

Auto Signaling Required By Law "In the old days when a car was going to make a turn or come to a stop, it was no unusual sight to see arms extended from the car in every direction,” says Charles M. Hayes. “Back seat driving has gone out of fashion to a great extent but a reaction in the matter of signaling has set in. Today the back seat passenger refrains from signaling, but in too many cases the driver also neglects to signal. "Many motorists are of the opinion that this is merely a courtesy of the road whereas it is a definite obligation imposed by law. The motor vehicle act in Illinois says: "No driver of a vehicle shall suddenly ' stop, slow down, or attempt to turn : around without first signaling his in- ; tentions with outstretched arms or ' otherwise to thos e closely following in the rear.” "In Chicago a city ordinance requires drivers moving out from the curb to signal their intentions. This is a common sense regulation In effect in most cities, and one which would prevent many accidents if adhered to.’’ Public Taste in Music "The quality of American musical appreciation, sd far as my concerts are concerned, has consistently improved during the last fifteen years,” so writes John McCormack, the eminent tenor, who will be Iheard in recital, for the benefit of the Scholarship Club of Notre Dame, South Ren^i, Friday evening, November 20. "Whether this is true for the publi ' at large I don’t know, but I know that it is true for my public. Fifteen. ten, even five years ago I would never have dared to put on the programs which I give today everywhere. Now fully half mv concerts are devoted to the songs of the masters, and Schubert. Mozart. Haendel, and even Hugo Wolf are listened to and applauded by the very same people who a few years ago had ears only for popular ballads. “They who have ears to hear can be made to hear if the singer only will be patient and gradually accustom those ears to what is new to them. This has been my consistent policy from the very first moment 1 stepped on to a concert stage, a policy I have never regretted. It is. indeed, the only policy imssible In educating the English-speaking public to true musical appreciation.” Will Try For Ton latter Club Aira in John C. Haag, living in Marshall county, four miles southeast of Walkerton, will try for membership in the Hoosier Ton Litter Club for the third consecutive vear, next Monday, when county agent L. M. Ruttier of Plymouth, will come out to weigh up his porkers. The litter of twelve Rig Type Po land China hogs has already tipped the beem at th« ton mark but the weighing Monday will be the official record. Mr. Haag Is a firm believer in raising good hogs although he says it is not so much a matter of the breed of stock as it is the care and feeding of them. Mr. Haag issues an invitation to all farmers and all others interested in pork •production, to come to his place Monday morning, Oct. 5. at 8 o’clock, to see th e weighing and find out how Ton Utters are produced. GINGER Hill CROSSING CIAIMS LIFE Os MOTORIST Louis Solomon Dies Os Injuries Received When Train Hits Truck. Louis Solomon, of South Rend* died in St. Joseph hospital, Friday forenoon from injuries received when he was hurt in an automobiletrain crash when the Eord truck he was driving was struck by a New York Central passenger train at Ginger Hill station early in the morning. Solomon brothers, junk dealers, were driving to North Liberty ami did not see the approaching train, although the track is clear to the North for a distance of perhaps five hundred feet. Roth men were tossed clear of the wreckage and ipicked up by the tracks 75 feet from the crossing. Louts received a crushed skull, which was responsible for his death. Jacob, the younger brother, received lacerations about the face and numerous bruises. He will recover it is thought. Roth men were taken to St. Joseph hospital in a private ambulance where Solomon died without regaining consciousness. The Ford truck, was completely demolished. Solomon is survived by his wife and three children. Funeral services were held from the Forest G. Hay funeral home Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. , Raising Funds For Christian Hospital With reports from various parts of the state indicating an enthusiastic response to the appeal for contributions to a $500,000 fund with which to purchase for the Indiana Christian hospital the nuilding, grounds and equipment now occupied by it at Indianapolis, the statewide campaign is being pushed with redoubled effort by the members of the board of directors of the hospital association. Field workers representing the hospital association are at work in all parts of the state organizing the campaign for the hospital fund among churches and affiliated organizations Os the Christian denomination.

This gathering which was planned at a reunion at Valparaiso some time ago. was a complete surprise to l em Mr and Mr McAllister received four flv< dollar gold pieces, many nic*- flowers appropriate for the occasion, a fine wedding cake, hoi lir fifty candles and many .-Incere greetings. Th*- day was -pent in visiting and reiatlin thln.^ that happened many years a. with a bountiful dinner at noon an-i a p ogram of solos, singing by the crowd, music on the accordian and -hurt talk>.

Albright, officiating. Rurlal was in Walkerton cemetery. Mt. Vernon Sluggers Lose to Donaldson The Donaldson nine overwhelmed the Mt. Vernon Sluggers Sunday bv a score of 1 2 to 2, kt the Donaldson park. Edwards did the home slabbing and 1 turned in a very creditable performance. Johnny Northam started in the hill for the visitors but his fast ball was no problem at all. The last of the fifth saw his finish. Harry Mechling finished the game allowing but 2 scores. That, there is something “radically wrong in the state of Denmark”, is evidenced by the fact that there are 584 divorce pleas now awaiting a hearing during the September terms of the three St. Joselph courts. This it is estimated, is an increase of perhaps 50 over the number of cases filed for trial during the same term of the •courts last year.

LOMBARD AND BELOII NEXT ON N. D. CARD f Hay lor l.anic Was Great Siii-prise Po Kocknv Followers By James E. Armstrong. Notre Dame's first game has i come and gone. Bay lor proved to , l>< only another run in the ladder upon which the Notre Dame team I i climbing steadily to undreamed of heig!>t.~ in the football world. 'I h» outcome of the game surprised Rockn< followers, in fact surprised even the wily Coach himself.' । The outstanding feature of the: : ime wa.s the brilliance of the new i machine under tiro. With a 11 • scire against, any kind of a team in the opening J game, Rockne might be, and is already, hailed as one of the most carefree coaches in the country. ! And Rockne, it must be admitted ; on account of his baldness, is not' netting gray hairs oxer his new ma-। chine. But there were flaws in the opening name, minimized by the weakness of Bavlor, and practically overlook'd by the spectators in the orgy of scoring, that would mean far different things against such teams as the Army. There is little use in saying that ' Notre Dame fears its next two games. Lombard, the next opponent, is a strong figure in its own 1 little Nineteen, and has, upon one occasion, given Notre Dame a scare. Beloit, too, has outgrown Wisconsin. But neither team is lively to stop the whirlwind that swept almost at will through the Baylor team. But back of the two smaller schools looms the always threatening shadow of the Army. Playing men of long football experience and men who are veterans of the strong college teams of the country, the । Army is one of the most menacing | teams on the football map. Notre < Dame semis to have cast a spell ( over the Plains, but Notre Dame has no way of knowing when the hypnosis -will cease. There is always the threat. And it is toward this threat that Rockne is pointing now. i Precision in shift. accuracy in . passing the ball, sureness in tack- [ ling, these are some of the points that are being strengthened and which will be the features most closely watched in the Lombard ’ and Beloit games. Speed seems to :be present in plenty and there is only the task of directing it. Flan- ( nagan, Dahman, Prelli and Roach । all have speed and elusiveness. I O'Boyle and Hearndon. with a little less speed, have weight, drive and ■ great interference qualities. En- ( right has the pile-driver style in the full-back’s position, while Hanousek is the leaping and side-step-ping holder of the same berth, Scharer play's a flashy, instinctive game at quarter back; Edwards is the cooler-headed, precise and dead!ly passer, punter. interferer and | field general. There is little to ( choose in these backfields. All have j great value and their services will I likey vary with the style of the ; team Notre Dame plays. You can’t tell anyone in this part of the country that Notre Dame will lose a game. Close followers of the Notre Dame team admit that it is much stronger than they had expected. Rockne still holds that con ditions from the Army' game on | will be much iifferent. Rut since Saturday even Rockne occasionally smiles. The mother-in-law joke has play- । ed out, but the one about the post office pen may hold its own a while longer. Honesty is no doubt the best po- • licy, but there are three others well ‘worth considring—fire, life, and accident.

Methodist Women Plan Radio Carnival "Right this way, ladies arid j gentlemen, for your hot dogs, hamburger sandwich ?s, peanuts, crack-' er jack, popcorn and candy, ice cream and cake. Step right up and j have your fill. See Minnie, the wua । girl, sihe eats ’em alive, also Do Do the dog face man. Step light this I way and have your fortune told, ■ etc., etc.” Yes, sir, Walkerton is to have a real for sure ’nuf street carnival and its to be given by the ladies of the Methodist church on Wednesday afternoon ana evening, October 14. The town lot commons, at the band stand, will be transformed into a biu midway, lined wit 1 booths of all kinds wit'.*, everything that gong to make a good, clean street carnival. There will be colored balloons and whistles for the kiddies, whips and confetti for the young men and maidens and something doing all the time for everybody. S >me big free act- are being v >r’ed i*. > for the occasion. Th** Malkerton band, under the direction of J. A. Rumbola. will be on hand to dispense plenty of lively music during the evening. There will be a farm preduce ! ' i Inch -arden truck, poultrv. era... etc., will be offered for sale. other booths will sell ice ci e.tm md ake, chop suey, hammirge’L and hot dogs, candy, parcel post articles, pop corn and permits, and carious carnival novelties. A second hand booth, at which used articles of various sort will be so^d, is also being planned. Miss Lulu Williams Wil! Address Ulub •The Community club will hold its regular meeting in the club rooms Fridav afrernon. Oct 2. The special feature of the program will be a talk on ''National Relations,” by Miss Lulu Williams of LaPorte. A good musical ; rogram will also be given. The meeting is open to the public and the ladies will cordially welcome all those who come. Members especially urged to be present. ill Exhibit Fine ( attle At Exposition One hundred Ayrshire, Rrown Swiss. Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey cows, animals that have proved to b«* profitable and efficient producers of milk and butterfat in the hands of average farmers under ordinary farm conditions, will make up one of the featur-- live stock exhibits of the 1925 National Dairy Exposition at the 1925 National Dairy Exoostion. October 10 to 17. These cattle will come from eleven hading dairy states to show the value of the purebred dairy sire, the cow testing association and proper j feeding and care. St. Joseph county I farmers will see in this big herd | the results of the combined .-kill i and experience of successful dairy- ' men. In order to introduce better i cows and encourage improved ' methods on farms in sections where dairying is comparatively new, ar- i rangements have been made for selling these grade cows at auction Thursday, Oc’ober 15th. STATE Will COMPUTE PAVEMENT ON ROAD NO.I Executive *>f State Highway Commission Declared This is Decided. The Plymouth-Peru pavement, the last lap in State Road No. 1, north of Indianapolis, is practically sure to be constructed in 192 6, according to recent assurance from State highways commission sources at Indianapolis. In discussing the matter with Ross Brown, superintendent of the Plymouth territory for the commission, one of the highest executives of the state body declared that he could not make any definite statements about what pavements would be built in nortnern Indiana next year except to say that the Plym-out-Peru section on State Road No. 1 would surely be paved. This indicates that the Chambers of Commerce and the other boosters for State Road No. 1 have made their point good in urging the completion of this pavement or else the highway commission heads had already determined on this paving for 1926. Road boosters in northern Indiana are anxious that the ValparaisoWarsaw gap on State road No. 2 also be closed or as much as possible of it. Hints come of a favorable attitude toward this paving though nothing definite is known. Plymouth Pilot. Nickle Plale Issues New Train Schedule A change in the passenger train schedule for the Nickle Plate railroad. effective Sunday. Oct 4. has been announced by Clyde Fish, local agent. Two trains have been taken off, leaving but one each way daily. The early south bound train. No. 21, due in Walkerton before 7:00 o’clock and the late north bound train, due in Walkerton at 9:23. have b<sth been withdrawn. Train No. 20. north bound, will be ^ne in Walkerton at 11:40 a. m„ and train No. 23, south bound, will be due in Walkerton at 1:10 p. m. These will be run daily except Sunday. A Jot of unfortunate people can not obtain credit enough to enable them to live beyond their means.

WILL DISCONTINUt StMtSTER EXAMS. Local School Faculty Vote Out i Old Time Educational Measuring 1 i Stick. > । 5 l In a teachers meeting held on , । last Thursday evening it was decidjed to discontinue the regular sx i week term tests and the semester I , examinations. Instead frequent tests j I are to be giv* n when units of work ; | have been covered and the report . । cards will contain no examination ! grades. The test grades will be used i. by the teachers as a measure for f the class grade. 5 i The teachers also decided to us e -[ a notice system to parents when } , pupils from their homes are doing s ' unsatisfactory work. These notices I will be sent at the end of the secI : end and fourth w-eeks of each six- • week period. Very often parents ; ! can aid the teachers in removing . j causes for the low grades. With this j idea in mir|? the new ;lan was j adontod. 2 | The Sophomore and Freshman classes have elected officers for the £ school year. Howard Moyer, John . Spahr and Hilda Skinner are presir ! ident, vice-president 'and sreretarvs ' treasurer of the Sophomores. The _ Freshman chose Rosamond NusI baum for president, Marie Davis for pice-president. Russell Clark, for K ' secretary and Irma Winner, treasj ure. Arlene Studley is now enrolled as a Junior, Lois Studley as a Freshman, and the young brother Eugene, has entered the first grade. ■j Albert Van Wanzeele of the third grade had the misfortune to fall s from one of the swings on the plays ground last Thursday afternoon 2 and fractured an arm. He was taken t to South Bend where an X-ray picf ture disclosed the severeness of the t injury and the arm was placed in } a plaster paris cast. At four o’clock tomorrow after- . noon (Friday) the Walkerton H. . S. baseball team will cross bats with . the Argos H. S. team on the local diamond. Two weeks ago Argos defeated Walkerton in a game iplayed in Argos by the lop-sided score of 11 to 2. Since that time the । j Walkerton boys nave shown marked j improvement under the direction of ( Mr. Bohn and Mr. Sears. They are going to reverse the decision in । this game with Argos. Come out to the baseball park and see them do s it. Friday’s game will be the last game on the home diamond this i autumn. On last Friday afternoon with Hornung on the mound and L. . Nusbaum behind the bat the W. H. S. baseball team set the Hamlet H. S. team doxvn with a 13 to 3 , thud. The Walkerton boys all play- , ! ed “beards up” baseball and Hamlet . . had no chance after the first i itch- , led ball. , , What was intended for a baseball I game with the North Liberty H. S. : on Tuesday evening became a red .hot batting practice and race [ around the bases for Walkerton. ; I Using five second string men. Nash, ’ ■ Shultz. Reiter, Cline and Moyer, the Walkerton k'4i- made two and three base hits galore. North Liberty’s outfielders were continually racing back to the ball park fence after the long hits each time Walkerton came to bat. Nash and Shultz appeared in the pitchers’ box for I ■ their first attempts as hurlers ani ' each acquitted himself splendidly, striking out several North Liberty batters. After securing an unbeat- ■ able lead Walkerton slowed down anid 1 permitted North Liberty to get a few runs. Walkerton scored 23 3 times in six times to bat while ) North Liberty’s score was 7 in sevg en times at bat. . The Oliver Screen t Douglas Fairbanks has never before produced a pkture which ofJ fere.d him the latitude and scope of expression that is given in his new United Artists vehicle, “Don Q, 3 Son of Zoro.” which will be shown 2 at the Oliver Theatre, South Bend, ’ for eight days beginning Saturday, 3 October 3. ’ To begin with, ibis feature is ” I replete with all th^ romatic dash • and go of earlier productions. coupled with an unusual opportun--3 ity for histronic work, due not only to the highly melodramatic nature p of the story, but also to the fact that the star is called upon to B carry a difficult duel role—difficult because he depicts youth as r well as age. He will be seen as Zorro, a sedate Zorro, mellow and philosophical with the passing of " years but a fighter for all that, his * grim determination spelling indomitable courage. As the son, Don Q. he will reflect the dashing devil- ? may-care spirit which made his Zorro interpretation famous. Added to the opportunities for excellent acting are the hair-rais-ing stunts which have always kept a Fairbank’s fans in a flutter between their seats and the ceiling, theoretically speaking. “Doug” pern forms feats in this picture that I- will seen incredible. ’ PUBLIC SALE n h At my place 4 miles east of Walk- ( erton. and 4 miles south of North q Liberty, on Friday, Oct. 2. at 11 d o’clock.
