No Chance to Sleep There.

Oelwein Register: 1t occurred IN
an Oelwein church Sunday evening
and is somewhat out of the ordinary.
A young baker took his best girl, who
is employed in a hotel, to the even
ing service-a very commendable
move, by the way-and 1t happened
that he had small alarm clock in his
pocket. A wicked friend, unknown to
the baker wound up the alarm at.
tachment and set it to go OFF at sos.
Just as the preacher announced his
text and was making an Introductory
statement the clock started an op.
position attraction. Buzz, whirr, zip

A Prophecy.

b.
indianapolis Star Two elements
in American life are much given to
figuring out separation bS.aeen Taft
and Roc evelt For different reasons
they like to imagine that when the ex
President regains his native neath be
is going to prove an arnbas Tment to
the adm '-iistration.
Mark this prediction: That when
Theodore Roosevelt returns TO the
United States next Tune ne will EN-,
brace an early opportunity to put
himself and his greet influence behind
President Taft end the 2 ,icies they
both represent. He is not the man
to encourage the talk OF his own
nomination for the presidencg in 1872,
and he is not the man to weaken in
LOYALTY to one who is doing his best
to carry forward the Roosevelt pol
icies.
Here in Indiana this prophecy may
have some interests for these Repub-
lfcans who hesitate about entering
into this campaign with sincerity and
zeal. When the battle of 1910 IS
Joined it will be national In its sig
nificance and scope, and the party in
this state will be fighting IN close
touch and accord with both the Pres
ident and the ex-President for Repub-
lican success.
No Republican who takes pride in
his past or entertains hope for the
future can afford to be fousd sulking
in his tent this year. Nor will they
be so found. Each in his own way will
find his place and do his part

What HalIinaer Ought to do.

Charleston News and Courier:
Henry Watterson says that Bailinger
must go. If we were in Ballinger's
place we should tell Mr.. watterson
that we would see him in Savannah
before we would let him tell us what
We must do; and then. after all this
investigation busin IS was over, we
would go to Mr.. Taft and tell him
that we were going, not because we
were guilty Of any of the things charg.
ed against US, but simply because we
thought so much of him and of the
way he he'd stood by us that we would
not subject him to the least embar.
ragsment by staying.

HAPPY FARMERS
SELL THEIR COTTON
MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS WILL BE DIVIDED
AMONG COTTON GROWERS HERE

The news that cotton was selling
above fourteen cents was heralded
abroad Friday and all day yes erday
trains of wagons loaded with cotton
came rolling in. During the day Fri
day more than twenty thousand dol
lars were paid out on the streets OF
Ardmore for cotton alone and yes er-
day nearly double that amount was
paid iuto the hands OF the farmers.
Cotton IS making better than the
farmers expected on the first OF Sept
ember Men like J. b. Pruitt Of Fox
says the crop Is turning out better
than was expected when the plant be-
gan to open. From almost every sec
ton OF the county the same report
reaches the market and the eXcelenl
price that is being paid will surely
cause every bale that has been gather
ed to be thrown upon the market.
While some OF the best financiers OF
the country believe cotton will go to
twenty cents during the season the
farmers themselves are not so hopeful
and they are willing to take II and
l. cents for their cotton.
with a crop of twenty-five or thirty
thousand bales and the price hu ging
closely around fifteen cents 1t looks
now like two and half million dollars
will be the value of the cotton crop
In the trade territory OF Ardmore.
Such an abundance of wealth will Re
lieye this country this fall and Carter
county will be on the highway to
prosperity.
The merchants We're busy yesterday
A vast amount of goods were sold
farmers did not quibble about the
price of merchandise and invariably
good grade of merchandise was call
ed for There is every reason thai
hopes should run high in this portion
