When new oats and whent arrive
from the threshlng machine there is
always a temptation to oyerfeed the

often results in heavy losses.

his usual hour of rising the family
went 10 his room and found that he
had apparently passed peacefully away
in his sleep.
Mr.. Harris was native of Burrill-
vile. X. l. Born in 1871 he came to
West Woodstock about thirty-eight
years ago. where as a citizen and
neighbor his integrity and friendly in

an esteem and generous response in
the hearts Of all. His cheerful, unsel-
fish disposition he carried into ripe old
age.
He was endowed with physical vigor

County grand jury for first degree
murder in the Staying of Mrs.
Myrtle Miller, SO, of Muncie.
Her body was found on lonely
road near here Sept. /.
No other indictments were an
nounced by Judge j. r. Hinshaw,
although Mrs. Irene Meyer, "a. con-
fessed being participant in the
crime, and charged that Homer
Patterson, Terre Haute, struck one
of the nineteen blows which crushed
Mrs. Miller's head.
Patterson has not been appre-
hended since his escape in Terre

ley were captured. No action is
expected to be taken against Mrs.

witness in which the State hopes to
send Beasley to the electric chair.
Beasley made no comment when

WATSON LIKELY
TO EAT WORDS
Boomerang Threat Faces
Former Hoover Foes.
BIZ Times SDecidI

DU lmcS SDCCtdt
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Aside
from its mud-slinging aspects, the
presidential campaign is developing
its humorous side. Among the
amusing developments is the parade
of bitter-end opponents of Hoover,
prior to Kansas City, who now are
getting on the bandwagon.
Among them is Senator Jim Wat
son of Indiana. Before the con-
vention, Watson was one of the
master minds of the "allies" who
sought to stop Hoover. Now he
claims that he, personally, never
said anything against Hoover. An
other is Carmi A. Thompson of
Ohio, who managed Senator Will
lis campaign against Hoover, and
who now is treasurer of the Ohio
Republican committee.
In this connection some Repub-
licais are concerned over report
that the Democratic national COM
mittee intends to issue a pamphlet
entitled What They Said"
1t will contain quotations from
Hoover's erstwhile enemies, and
among those whose words will be
recalled, it is said, are Senator
Charles E. Curtis, Hoover's run
ming mate; Senator Simeon D. Fess,
keynoter of the Kansas City con-
vention; Senator Guy Golf of West
Virginia, and former Governor Gift
ford Pinchot of Pennsylvania.
