Munice, Ind, JAM. chairman
Will H. Hays of the Republican ma

New York to the bedside of his son,

by the news of Colonel Roosevelt's
death. He said:
1.-The strongest character in the

Colonel Koosevelts place. In the days

The town is full of newspaper cor

alighted in swirls of snow that ac-

the silent village streets disconsolately,
looking anxiously for action" When
finally big flag was raised in front
of the postoffice, all the movie men
in desperation gathered there to film
the Tapping banner.
Sycamore Hill was silent and still.
Except for the crepe on the front
door, the knots of newspaper men
standing about and the arrival at long
intervals of automobiles bearing
friends, it was a deserted home, for
death had taken charge.

the townsfolk as to how the idea of

felt that they had suffered a personal

grief. A number of cables arrived

The Wheat Situation.

Premature ripening of early varieties
in many sections has resulted in great
amounts of shriveled and undeveloped
grains which are unfit for seeding pur-
poses.
Half of Maryland's wheat crop was in
the field during the long spell of wet
weather following harvest.
Between IS and so per cent of the
wheat sprouted and molds developed, re-
sulting in loss of about $4,000 900.
Little of the wheat will be fit for mil
ling purposes though it may be used for
feed if properly handled.
Diseases such as scab, smut, etc. have
been especially prevalent causing losses
approximately $4,000 900.
Let's all work together to make the
best of bad station, first, by notifying
the County Agent of and available sound
seed wheat; second, by employing such
preventive measures in the treatment of
seed to eliminate diseases in the 1920
crop as are available; third, by utilizing
in every possible way all grain unfit for
commercial purposes; fourth, by tanning
out the undeveloped and diseased grains
from wheat used as seed; fifth, by seeing
that you SOW wheat as nearly as possible
to the date Sept. 20 to Oct. S, this being
the date specified for this immediate To-
cality.

Primary Election Over.
Hot Fight Put Up For Places
On Ticket.

Primary Election for the selection OF
Candidates on the county Republican and
Democrat ticket was held Monday OF
this week. The democratic leaders some
weeks ago agreed on Candidates for all
Offices except that of States Attorney
and Sheriff, hence the big fight was al
most wholly among the republicans.
Locally, republican aspirants and workers
got busy very early, and during the fore
noon considerable interest was taken in
the election and most of the vote polled.
Candidates from this end of the county
were taken care of particularly well,
although some cutting was done. The
marking of ballots is said to have been
very strange, no system apparently
being used, some persons voting for but
one candidate, others two or three.
The result in this district and county
is as follows:

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of September 18th new must
cal comedy
'ROLY BOLY EYES"
with Eddie Leonard and famous COM
pany of comedians and singers.
John Cort brings new musical comedy
to Ford's week of Sept. 18th entitled
"Roly Boly Eyes," with Eddie Leonard
the popular minstrel as the leading fea-
ture.
The play is really dramatic comedy
with pretty girls. and excellent music by
Edgar Allen Wolff.
There is story of dramatic interest
involving boy who had been forced to
leave home under unjust circumstance s
to which he could not give the solution.
Later he returns to the home town as
the leading spirit of minstrel company
and Is unrecognized. Into Billy's hands
comes the opportunity of clearing his
reputation and righting great wrong.
And what is more of winning the girl
with the Roly Boly Eyes, whom he has
never ceased to love. The whole has a
distinct tang to it and is given adequate
setting, its lyrics are unusually good, its
background unique, and there is a wide
variety of thrills, in itself forming ar
unusual feature for musical comedy.

Streets In Good Condition.

The oiing and chipping of the Thur
mont streets in town have put them in
better condition than ever before, the
roadway being almost as good as that of
the State Road. Mr.. William Stoner,
one of the Commissioners of ThurmOnt,
has been giving his time and attention
to this work, and deserves mLce praise
for what has been accomplished.
Along with this work the Board of
Commissioners should start curb cam
paign. At present the curb line is
practically nothing. some properties have
a curb others have n one, some high others
low. Got together and establish grade
for the entire town, See that suitable
curb is put down, and then grade the
street to the curb, the same as has been
done by the State Roads people.
