The unpopularity o£ normalcy which it is now evident is simply a plan to reduce wages and incomes of ordinary citizens and add to the weath of the capitalist, is evident with each primary held. Indiana slapped the administration By nominating Beveridge, then came Pennsylvania and now Kansas has selected the most progressive enemy of the stand patters in that state as a candidate. Herny Ford has written his autobiography which is being published in a number of magazines and papers , and in which he is trying to proVe that he is a business man and not a reformer. Perhaps he is a candidate for president on an independent ticket and perhaps he will get some votes though this nation has always been decidedly opposed to anything which tends to break down the two old parties. Just the same our people are; great for trying new things and Ford as president would certainly be that. Decatur has long needed a public rest room and numerous efforts to secure one have heretofore failed. Now the civic section of the Woman's Club has worked it out, has contract 1 ed with the library board for rooms f on the first floor or basement,—convenient and well equipped. They will make them comfortable and will see that they are taken care of, a , splendid work and we are sure their' efforts will be appreciated by the people of this city and the women of the entire community. The co-oper-ation of the Libary Hoard also deserves sincere commendation. Parking spaces on Second, Madison and Monroe streets are being marked off today and the officials Advise is like castor oil—its one thing to prescribe it—and another to take it y But You’ll find “WHITE STAG” Cigars “Just What the doctor ordered.” For sale by all dealers.

A nine-year-old Jay county boy, who killed a playmate of about hia own age by stabbing him in the ueck, is not old enough to be sent to the Indiana Boys' School at Plainfield. Formerly the age range of boys admitted to the school was from eight to sixteen, but in 1919 the legislature amended the law, making ten years the minimum age limit The law provides that the age of a boy at the time of his commitment to the boys’ school shall be considered rather than his age at the time of his offense. The Jay county boy could be made a ward of the court or the board of children’s guardians and sent to some institution where discipline is strict Probably what he needs is a thorough examination to determine whether he is mentally responsible for his act—lndianapolis News. The celebration to be held here in July will probably assume the importance of a state affair. It is not designed to land the home but to prove to the visitors our vision of the big work. It has been repeatedly said that large classes and big shows will not assure the home but tho Yeomen lodge will appreciate the efforts made to give publicity to the big work in which they are engaged and of course the selection will go to some city which has shown a desire for the school and a vision of the ideal. This should be distinctly understood to begin with for the Yeoman day here is to be the most unique and original ever given if the plans can be worked out. Much de pends on the co-operation of our peo pie and they have never failed to respond to public affairs for a righteous cause. +++++♦+♦++♦♦♦♦* * WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD * +•*•+♦++++ + ♦ + + + + + Yesterday’s Hero—Babe Ruth singled in the eighth inning and drove in two runs that gave the Yankees a 9 to 7 victory over the White Sox.

GENERAL ELECTRIC PLAY WAYNE OIL TEAM SATURDAY The next battle on the program for the local General Electric team will be staged Saturday afternoon at 2:45 o’clock at Bellmont park when they meet the fast Wayne Oil team of the Fort Wayne Industrial league. The visitors will come to this city with a first class team, having a number of leaguers and Lincoln Lifers on their squad and expect to make things hot for the locals. The locals however have strengthened their lineup, going into the battle with a much better team than the last two games and expect to break their losing streak. Plan to attend Saturday afternoon.

- POWER OF TWO CENT STAMP I r Washington, D. C„ Juno B.—Few places are left on the globe where the 1 übiquitous American two-eent stamp ‘ won't take' "an cute or fraction thereof" of first class mail. i The recent addition of Haiti and j Bermuda to places where two cents j will carry a letter draws nearer the day when a two cent stamp will take a letter anywhere, be it north or south, ' east or west. ’ The National Geographic Society . here has just published a bulletin calling attention to the present "cruising radius" of our familiar little red square, bearing George Washington and the memory of his deeds to all corners of the earth.

June 8. —The annual 1 summer school at Purdue University will start Thursday, June 15, with cn- 1 rollment coming that day and classes 1 starting the following morning. Indications now are for the largest summer school enrollment ever obtained here and with the 33 instructors, reg- ■ ular members of the Purdue staff retained, there will be ample provision ’ for all who come, Dean L Roberts states. * The summer school sessions were 1 resumed two years ago after being • stopped several years on account of ! the war. The enrollment then was * 45. Last year it was 172 and judging * from the large number of inquiries 1 from teachers and high school gradu- • ates of this year, it will go consider- ‘ ably above this figure this year. Courses will be offered in all lines s of agriculture, home economics, trades and industries, education, academic . topics including chemistry, biology, English, history, mathematics, etc. Physical education also will offer an opportunity for the men to learn ( coaching methods employed by Purdue, and the women who are preparing ' to teach also can get some of this work. In addition to this a conference ! of the school period, starting 1 June 15 and ending June 24. < Credit will be given on a university 1 degree for the work taken during the 1 summer, and many will take advan- ' tage of the summer work in order to * finish their work for graduation. ' BERNE MAN KILLED IN ACCIDENT IN KANSAS . , LAST SATURDAY EVENING . I Berne, June B.—The body of Forest Riesen wbo died at Downs, Kansas, ' I last Saturday evening arrived here on i I the 10:0 train yesterday morning acI companied by the father, Gideon RieI sen, who had gone to Downs in re- | sponse to a telegram stating that Forj est was seriously injured. Funeral I services will be held Friday morning I at the home east of town at 9 o’clock | and at the Evangelical church at 10 I o'clock. Burial will be made in the M. I R. E. cemetery. The American LeI gion will assist in the services, a teleI gram having been received by the loI cal post from the post at Downs, Kan. I Gid Riesen stated this morning that I the accident happened last Friday I morning between 8 and 9 o'clock while I making hay. Forest was driving the I .... tliey were unloading a load of I alfalfa hay into the barn. The sling I with the hay had been pulled up but I did not trip, when the horses jerked I and broke a tug. When the sling I failed to trip, the horses again jerked I and the second time tore two more of I the tugs. The doubletree which was I fast to only one more tub swung back " with a terrific force and struck Forest " in the abdomen below the solar plexus. I STATE BOARD WOULD | ELIMINATE ONE TEACHER I • I Indiana State Capitol, June 8. —ReI organization of the smaller high I schools of the state, through the adopI tion of a program calling for the elimiI nation of one or more unnecessary ■ teachers, will result in a saving of ap- ■ proximately 500,000 now wasted in ■ salaries of the excess teachers and the I money can be used in improving the ■ school system of Indiana, according to I statements made tonight by Dr. Alex- ■ arider Inglis of Harvard university, ■ and Dr. Frank P. Bachman of the gen- ■ eial education board, who are conductfl >ng the state school survey. The two ■ educators held a conference with B. J. ■ Burris, state superintendent of public | instruction, and urged the.adoption of ■ the nev( program for the high schools B with ihe beginning of the fall school B term. B The proposed program of high ■ school work, which was devised by Dr. S Inglis after an exhaustive study of ■ Indiana school conditions, provides so ■ the elimination of one or more teachS ers by a systetn of teaching certain " subjects on alternating years.

Btat«* It Another Way. “The whole proposition in a nutshell." »*id Dr- "U t 0 offer lho required first and second year subccts every other year. By this method the services of one teacher may be dispensed with in a school now employing four teachers. “The big problem li> Indiana is the small high school. Sixty »er cent of the high schools huve not more than seventy-five pupils and 75 yer cent have not more than 100 pupils. A sev-enty-live pupil school ought not to have more than three teachers, but four teachers is a conservative average for this type of school in Indiana today. “In addition to the excess teaching force, the high schools of this type have largely an inadequate curriculum. It is a college entrance course.” About 450 Such Schools "There are approximately 450 small high schools in Indiana,” said Dr. Inglis, “of the type I have in mind. A saving of one teacher in each school, with an average salary of 31.000 a year, will mean an annual saving of approximately 3450.000 in salaries." * WERE MARRIED AT NOON TODAY (Continued from page one) The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. DeVoss. She was graduated from the Decatur High School and later attended Normal School. During the past few years she has been a very successful teacher in the Decatur public schools. Mr. Harris is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Harris, of Sheridan, Indiana, where he is employed as a book keeper. Mr. and Mrs. Harris will reside in Sheridan. o LABOR MEN IN MEETING (Continued from page one) of calling an early meeting of the conference for political . activity which under the leadership of John son and others met some weeks ago in Chicago, has been put up to Johnson. Sime of his colleagues in that effort to unite organized labor, the farmers and all the forces holding grievances against the present order of things have suggested to Johnson that instead of waiting until
