When Mr. Vestal makes his trip over the district next week, he should prove the untruth of the statements published by the New York World recently that lie has been securing a seventy dollar per month ‘•rake-off" from a janitor, allowing her ten dollars for doing the work and then he should make the World take it back. The voters of the district won’t think much of this kind of money grabbing and Albert is a candidate for re-elec-tion. George W. Steele who for a numb r of years represented this district in congress, died at Ids home at Marini, Indiana yesterday. He will be remei 1bere by all the older citizens. Through his services the National soldier's home was secured f >r Marron, Indiana, and later he was f >r I many years, the superintendent of that home.

I 1 the least of which is that "It Is charg ed that Camp is the head 7 tit a ring at Indianapolis which tries to use the ‘ banks of the state to float securities r offered by n clique of Indianapolis -bunkers.''- There are a good many der pnrtinenta of the state and national government which do not seem to be running just as smooth as they should. i - - i We cannot guarantee you that Deca1 tur will land the Yeomen home but we can assure wou that the publicity already given this city is worth many times the efforts made here and the small amount of money invested, it pays, to be progressive and It pays to put our best foot forward. It is something worth while to bring to this city the busy board of directors of that organization, the officers and delegations from various cities and that we will do. The board comes here in

continued session, with power to take 11 such business action here as they 1 may see fit. That's much more than s most of our people thought could bo accomplished and it is now the entire 1 field against Decatur. Not a single objection has no far been raised to our proposal and the chances are all in our favor. It remains for us to sell tho board on the 22nd of August. , With the help of you—and you—and you and all of you, it can be done. The construction in Lake county of a piece ot country road said to embody all of the advantages in road construction developed since motor travel revolutionized road building is a matter of considerable importance to the country, and particularly to Indiana. This stretch of road is one and one-third miles long and lies along the Lincoln highway close to the Illinois boundary. It is on or.e of the principal east and west highways in the nation and near enough to Chicago to be readily accessible to good, road enthusiasts drawn to Chicago by business or other reasons. The Indiana highway commission, disbursing a joint state and federal | fund for good roads, will bear less I than half the expense of the expert- | ment. Most of the money is understood to have been given by private j interests working through the Lin- | coin Highway Association, an organ- | ization which has done much notable | pioneer work in good roads promo- I ti in. Tho width of the roadway | proper will be forty feet, or practi- | tally twice the width of many hard E surface roads now being built in in- I diana, and special attention will be E paid to the drainage, the problem I which has resulted in much inferior E road construction in this state. The E addition of boulevard lights and a f sidewalk to the road will raise it to F the status of a country boulevard. Indiana is fortunate in its oppor- f h unity to have this example of su- t perior road building before it during t jthe period when it is striving to make t jnp for its tardy adoption of a good road policy. It is not contemplated at this time to any great extent, but the 'experiment should go far toward settling some of the problems before the state highway commission, such as the best material for roads of various type, and matters pertaining to width and drainage. When completed, Indiana's network of main highways should be better for the example that will be set in Lake county this summer.—lndianapolis News. Local Men Return From Yeomen Meeting in lowa (Continued from page one) insisted that the home movement is bigger than anything else in his life, even including Yeomanry to which he Is a devoted slave. The local committee chairmen and others interested will meet at Industrial headquarters this evening to hear a report of the meeting and to make further plans. Efforts to secure the attendance here of Manager Hill and Mr. Parker are being made and plans to secure the united support of Ins diana homesteads will be insisted upi on. Everyone should back this big i. effort.
