PRICE OF PORK
HOLDS STEADY
Little Affected by Drastic
Drop in HOqS.

The sharp decline of hog prices,
$3.50 per hundredweight in the last
few days, has had virtually no effect
on retail pork prices in Indianap-
oils a check today revealed.
With porkers bringing $11.90 a
hundred Tuesday as compared to
$13.40 Sept. 10, retail prices on
chops, fresh ham and shoulders
have fallen only from l to cents
a pound in virtually all the city's
meat markets.
In the better markets chops are
SO to IS cents, fresh ham so cents,
and shoulder 80 to 35 cents. Last
Mondays prices were: Chops, so
cents, ham SIS cents and shoulder 35
cents.
There's something wrong with the
market" said G. w. Pearson, market
superintendent of the Piggly- Wiggly
Ellis stores.
Other meat dealers went farther.
It's the packers, they declared. They
killed hogs like wildfire when the
market was down to SO a hundred
last spring and have quantities of
smoked meat on hand which they
are dumping on the market and
holding up the fresh meat market,
| the dealers said.

HANDS OFF is
C. 0. P. POLICY
ON WILLEBRANDT
Campaign Heads Decline to
Halt Sargent Aids
Speech Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - The
Republican campaign heads will.
pursue a hands-off policy in the
prohibition campaign waged against
Governor Alfred E. Smith by Mrs
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant
attorney general, it was learned
authoritatively here today.
Herbert Hoover, Chairman HUI
bert Work of the Republican ma
tional committee, and President
Coolidge, who has control of Mrs
Willebrandt, are saying nothing
about her activities; their friends
and advisers conclude there is moth
ing else they can do.
The position of the leaders is
that Mrs. Willebrandt is a Govern
ment employee who can speak any
time she desires on prohibition or
other subjects. They contend they
do not have authority to dissuade
her from making further attacks
along the line, of her recent
speeches, as has been suggested by
several prominent Republican Of
ficials and newspapers.
Consequently, Mrs. Willebrandt is
planning an amplification of her
campaign. She has an engagement
to speak Oct. 6 in Kentucky, and
may go later into several southern
States,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.-James j.
McGrath, attorney, came into the
national presidential campaign to-

Senator Bruce, who told of Curtis
having a generous hip flask at the
Pimlico race track, explained the
story had come to him from a man
who had a drink from the flask.
McGrath, who, in a written state
ment, sustained Bruce, was called a
"willful, malicious and deliberate
liar" when Curtis was shown the
statements at Omaha last night. o.
Bruce attacked Curtis at the same
time he charged Herbert Hoover
with drinking. Clarence Darrow,

ity for it, so far has declined to
confirm.

G. 0. P. LEADERS
SUPPORT DALEY
AT PERU RALLY
Candidate Calls for State
Cleanup; Party Lines
BY ROBERT L. BEARD

PERU, Ind. Sept. 26.-"If the
: Democrats don't elect Frank G.
Daley Governor they had better
quit!"
These words from Frank E.
Bearss, veteran Miami County Re-
publican leader, were typical of the
expressions of Democrats and Re
publicans alike here after Daley
: reiterated his demand for a state
cleanup" before a crowd which
janmed the Wallace Theater Tues
day night.
Other prominent Republicans
were in the audience who joined
in the reception given the nominee
and Mrs. Daley at their hotel, in
GUIDED: John Shanaberger, secretary
of the Miami County farm bureau;
John BosSard, manufacturer; F. B.
Lamson, Chamber of Commerce
secretary; Roscoe Coomler, insur-
ance manager; Frank w. Bearss, DR..
w. E. Burk and William Smuck,
rock-ribbed Republican G. A. r.
veteran.
Pledges Economy
Scores who shook Dailey's hand
declared they were Republicans, out
would cast their ballots for him.
Peru, normally, is Democratic, and
Miami County Republican, both by
narrow margins.
'sDailey is sure of carrying the
co,Intvo said A. w. Mott, Demo-
cratic county chairman. "Repubh-
cans are abandoning party lines to
support him"
Alex M. Pursley, eleventh district
chairman, Hartford City, was opti-
paistic for Dailey'S prospects
throughout the district. Delegations
from surrounding counties attended
the meeting. Hundreds were turned
away.
Harvey Cole, prominent Peru at
torney, introduced Claude Y. An
drews, attorney, as permanent
chairman.
Deploring the rapidly rising costs
of State government, Daley pledged
himself to program of rigid econ
only and an honest effort to mini
nize taxes
The average annual cost of State
government has risen from $11,000,-
O0OO in the last year of Ralston'S
administration to $40,000,000 IN
1927 under Ed Jackson, he Saics
"and 1 don't think the kind of gov
eminent we've had is worth the in
creased"
Stresses Secrecy Issue
Daley advocated elimination or
consolidation of State boards and
commissions and the restoration Of
home rule. Proposing to change per-
sonnet of the public service COM
mission, Daley answered the charge
of Republican forces that he knew
too much about the back door to
the commission"
He was applauded for his pro-
posal to municipality owned utilities
fro mcommission jurisdiction.
Swinging to the keynote of his
campaign, 1.-THE greatest issue right
now is common honesty and decency
in State government" Daley ran
rough shod over the Republican
record of corruption and implored
"honest, upright Republicans to join
us in clearing the good name of the
State"

talking together for a while we were
invited by Senator Curtis to go into

with him.
This invitation was accepted, and
after we reached the bar, four
glasses were produced by the bar
tender, and Senator Curtis took
from his pocket a pint bottle of

THE AUTOGRAPH CRAZE

Autograph collecting was once gracious pastime
Collectors in those days liked to have letter or au
thenc document of some sort with the celebrty's sig
nature quite normally and reasonably attached
Today autograph collecting has become an obses-
sion in lot of people who care less about having
autographs than about the ability to say they have
them.
Booksellers invite authors to spend few hours
in their stores, meeting buyers and autographing
mountains of books. This stimulates sales of course
but does not mean much else.
Popular lecturers are besieged after their talks
not by interested people asking intelligent questions
but by autograph hounds demanding signatures. The
following description of such situation is typical of
many. 1t happened to Kermit Roosevelt at the con-
clusion of illustrated lecture about his hunting trip
in the Orient.
mo sooner had the lights flashed on than hun
dred boys seated on the front clambered in
up on the stage and demanded autograph.
THE obliging captain Kermit sat down and began
to sign his name fast he could write. Thirty min
utes later he still signing furiously while other
of boys crowded around. Finally his arm gave
out and the high school principal persuaded the boys
to go home
Perhaps, though, there is really poetic justice in
this Lecturing the public has come to be almost an
obsession in everybody who does anything the least
bit out OF the ordinary. The autograph fiends may
discourage the lecturers in of time

Then, all of sudden, Uncle
Wiggily saw Baby Bunty hopping
along on the ground beneath him.
He was only Il little way above the
earth now. And when he saw Bunty
he called:
ITo, Bunty, dear. Catch hold of
ny coat tails and pull me down.
For Uncle Wiggily's coat had tails
as long as the tails of Jillie and
Jollie, the mice children. ''Catch
hold and pull me down and then |
can pull Nallie down!' said Uncle
Wiggily, for by looking toward the
ground he could see his tails almost
dragging in the dust.
"All right! IN catch you
cried Buntv. It sounded, when she
said "catch you,' as if she were
sncezing, but she WASH t. She ran
along after Uncle Wiggily and
caught hold Of his coat tails and
pulled as hard as she could pull.
But the March wind was much
stronger than the little orphan rab-
bit girl and. all at once, with hard
puff, the kite was sent higher into
the air, with Nallic sitting on the
top edge. And Uncle Wiggily was
Fitted off the ground as he had hold
OF the kite string. And as Bunty
was holding to the rabbit gentle
man 5 coat tails she, too, was lifted
eff the earth.
"Oh, look at mel" cried Bunty.
Uncle Wiggilv knew there was
only one safe thing to do. That was
fer all Of them to get on the kite
and sit on it until il had blown them
to some place where it would be
safe to come down.
"It's lucky | made Nallic's kite
good and strong" thought Mr..
Longcars. Looking down at Bunty
he said to her: ''Climb up by hold
ing onto my buttons and perch your
self en- my shouldcrs.'

SCHOOL EXPENSES

Education, observes President Lowell of Harvard,
IS the biggest single business in the country 1t employs
100000 men and women and costs 50 600, 600 900 a
year And much of the money President Lowell charg-
es is wasted
good many taxpayers take the same view Are
they right?
Only moderately so, say other educators. 1T is
business not yet thoroughly organized, and ineffc-
lent in many respects yet the whole we'll serving
its great purpose.
Says defender who is also statistician:
Critics of the public schools who cite enormous
increases IN expenditure in the last decade. and who
imply on the part of the schools corresponding waste
tuness and extravaganza do not tell all the facts
School expenses, of course, have increased-but
almost precisely IN the ration as expenses have
increased for families stores and the various depart
ments of government That is say, the cost of edu
cation has simply risen with the cost of living.
Another thing. might we'll be said: The educa-
ton today IS better than il before the war Meth
DDS are better equipment is better buildings are bet
ter teachers are better Instruction is richer Try the
children and compare their all-round knowledge with
what their parents knew at their age. Observe the
larger outlook on life they gain from their instruction.
See what done for them in the matter of health and
sane living. There is immense progress.
The plant is still not used to its capacity Build
ngs and equipment might be utilized for children or
grownups, more hours of the day and more weeks of
the year. But that is the communtys fault And prog
ress Is being made along that line.
