How'd you like to be the Ice While we are grunting about the weather and most of us deploring the fact that it’s a hard time to make things go in a business way, don't overlook the fact that the ice man, the ice cream naufacturer and dealer, , the merchant who sells hot weather goods, and the boy who lives near the i swim mln' hole, all like It. President Taffs Fourth of July visit to Indiana was a carefully plppned at- 1 tempt to solidify the republicans of I the state to get them to back ex-Vice' President Fairbanks in a grand rally I tor the president. The love feast was , held as scheduled and the proposition j cheered, but when the real line-up was talked over the next day. It proved to be a difficult matter to talk a Berev ( idge-ite into a proposition that will , boost those who openly fought and defeated the ex-senator. The fight for control of the state will be as bitter as ever. THE CITV’S AFFAIRS f — CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I Wm. Geary • 10.00 D. F. Teeple 9 04 Wells Fargo Exp. Co 4.85 Adams Exp.
