This fine weather is hard on the summer resorts for many prefer the comforts of home so long as the thermometer registers around the sixty or seventy mark. The state owes over a million del lars and it is announced that this debt cannot be paid from the June settlement of taxes as was anticipated for most of the money thus derived is needed to keep the machinery moving. It has come to be a rather expensive machine it seems . Dr. Archenbold, thief astronomer of the Treptow observatory at .Berlin declares that there is a possibility that the whole world will be "gassed" tc death by the poison vapors of a huge content. However he points out that there is no immediate danger but as there are a number of the comets rushing around through space there is some danger that a collision will occur and the gas will instantly depop ulate the world. Be not alarmed for some one is always pointing out such catastrophes and thus taking the joy out of life. The Adams County Witness has not discovered any reasons why John Tyn

dall should not represent this county in congress, at least they have not mentioned them. He would we are sure not employ some poor woman do some work at a salary of eighty dollars, give her ten and keep the change, he would be assolutely trustworthy and would fight every minute forth? people of his district, he would assume the responsibility with a knowledge of the labor attached and would without grumbling, perform those duties. He is fitted for the place and the people will do well to send him to Washington as their servant. Many people are wondering just how the Leonard-Kansas prize fight was pulled off in Michigan City. It was the first real show of that kind in thirty years. Way back in ’92 Governor Mathews sent the militia to Whiting where the famous race track, Roby, was located and stopped a fight and since that time but little efforts along that line have been made. However on July 4th, a real affair in which Kansas received a broken arm and was knocked out while $60,000 was taken in at the gate, was "pulled.” Must have been an understanding or the investment would not have been made. Just what is going on right here in Hoosierdom? The republicans in the United States senate say much about a tariff for the farmer." They actually think the farmer is being taken in on the argument they make that a tariff here and a tariff there will be of great benefit to the farmer. If they are at all ob serving, however, they will cast their optics toward North Dakota, where Senator McCumber has just been given his sleeping powders. McCumber is the leader of the tariff fight, he it is who is putting the bill over, but the farmers out in his home state evidently do not care much about the tariff he would make for them, as they pro ceeded to vote against him wherever farmers lived and about the whole strength of Mr. McCumber lay in the more favored sections of the state. Tire farmers are not going to be tak-

en in by a tariff bill. They know much more now then they did a few years ago. The republican party has played the farmer with its high tariff bill about as long as it will stand and the old party will have to rake up something different. The defeat of McCumber and some more of the hight protectionists is only a forerunner of what is coming in 1922 and 1924—Bluffton Banner. Many republicans are leading the opposition to the proposed tariff bill which will increase costs of living and fatten the purses of a few who don t need it. It should not pass. . — COL.

A revival in business is shown in the reports of auctioneers from all parts of the United States, since auction sales are a comparative true barometer of business. „ — MICHAEL MILLER SERIOUSLY HURT (Continued from page one) the| family. Mr. Miller Is sixty-six years old and is one of the substantial citizens 1 of Decatur. Mr. Meyer is ill Barney H. Meyer, retired farmer, and one of the prominent citizens of the county, has been ill for several days at his apartment in the Haugh block above the Quality case and restaurant. He took sick several days ago and it was stated by relatives that he had symptoms of typhoid fever. Striking Rail Unions Ready to Confer Now (Continued from page one) cr and Jewell looking to the establishment of a basis for conferences, were expected today. Jewell planned ; to answer Hooper’s latest personal letter. i Incidents pointing to the opening of ■ a peace conference were: I—A statement by Hooper that the

Os the Shop workers despite the strike. 2 — The statement by Jewell t he was “ready and willing to deal with an authorized person on any reasonable basis.” 3.—Statements credited to union leaders declaring they believed that if the railroads and union representatives could get together around a table the differences could be adjusted. While the labor board and the shop workers sparred for an opening, maintenance of way employes planned to take another strike vote. President E. F. Grable will submit ballots intended to gain the support of his union on the compromise effected with the labor board whereby the first strike was declared off. Conference between D. W. Holt, president of the signalmen and labor board members will continue today with all indications pointing to at least a temporary settlement of difficulties. The possibility of other unions joining the shop craft strikers later in case the shop workers are successful in tying up traffic to any extent, was pointed out by some union leaders. It was declared by high au thorities that the roads must break the shop workers’ strike in order to prevent walkouts by other unions. Minor clashes between new workmen and strikers were reported today. The most serious were at Slater, Mo., and Bloomington, 111., At Slater 30 new employes were driven from their jobs by several hundred Chicago and [Alton strikers. The clash at Bloomington involved workers on the same road who surrounded a truck bound ■' for the railroad yards loaded with lumber to erect shelters for strikebreak ers. A request to Governor Small that he send troops to Bloomington will not be complied with unless there are further evidences of trouble. Although union headquarters hercontinued to insist that the walkout was practically 100 per cent effective railroad executives declared this was greatly exaggerated and said many men who walked out Saturday have returned to work. Strikebreakers At Indianapolis I Indianapolis, Ind., July 6. —A full ■ force of strikebreakers has been em ployed in some lines of work in the f Big Four shops here, railroad officials declared today. The company as been advertising

V. Hart, genera chairman of the Big Four machinists said today. San Francisco, Cal.,-Four hundred and thirty-four striking shopmen returned to work today at the two general Southern Pacific coach shops at Sacramento and Los Angeles, therebysaving their seniority pensions and past privileges, Southern Pacific officials announced today. Washington—Steps were taken by the post office department today to protect railroad mail from the strike of railway shopmen. Officials of the post office department conferred with the department of justice men on the possibility of government protection. Orders were sent to all division mail superintendents to report fully any interruption of mail transportation. Wash, Ind.,—Sheriff Hugh Faith prepared today to put six deputy sheriffs on duty at the Baltimore & Ohio shops here tonight where 703 shopmen are striking. C. G. Stevens shop superintendent who requested protection from the sheriff declared the strikers were hurling rocks onto the company’s property and yelling “scab” at companyworkmen. Neither shop officials or the sheriff expect serious trouble. Establishment of the guard is merely a precautionary measure. Pittsburgh, Pa., —July 6 —(I nited Press) —The Pennsylvania railroad served notice on its striking shop employees today that they must apply for reinstatement before July 10 if they desire re-employment.

Proposed systems have been received by the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture from all but eight states. They are plotted on a large square map of the United States and carefully examined as to the co-ordination with the roads of adjacent states and service to all sections of the country. Where co-ordination is not satisfactory conferences are held with all interested state highway officials and routes are adjusted.

Many states have already adjusted - difficult problems with their neighbors. | as an example, the system sent in by | Nebraska showed a bjg gap in an im- I portant road along the northern bor- I dor. It was learned, however, that I South Dakota w-ould follow with a sys- I tem that would look like pictures on a I 'toy block. Since the federal highway I act of last November became a law, I only roads certain to be on the system I have been approved for construction. | • — SOX AND GRAYS WIN The Boys base ball league which is I composed of a number of teams made up of the youngsters of this city is meeting with great success, several games being staged this week.
