A hundred business men will attend | the chautauqua this evening in a body to hear Harry Fugleman, the rapid fire and intensive business lecturer. Every clerk, business man, salesman, as well as every one else interested in business should attend and all who will are invited to join the Industrial crowd. A section of seats will be r< I served for them and we are sure all i will enjoy it. The strike conditions continue and the time when something must !>• ' done draws nearer for it must com ■' soon or we will all feel the result sj keenly. Mr. Bryan declared that i ■ ' stead of meeting in classes,' the labor ! ing men at one place and the capita ists at another, we should meet a i citizens and work out fair and ju rules for the benefit of the nation. ' is to every ones interest that th ■ ‘ laboring man be treated fairly an 1 that the operators also earn a retur 1 1 and its after all every one's problen ; 1 . | i A national emergency because < the coal and rail strike has been pr< 1 ■ claimed giving the administration * taste of the troubles of thp preceedir one and no doubt causing those i’l H charge to at least modify the assc -1 tion that government is a very simp’. ■ matter after all.

the splendid manner in which the ar rangements have been made and th< reception of the program here. Ht hopes to continue to improve tht event and in this will have the full cooperation of local people. Each number so far has been a gem and a treat and we are assured the high standard will continue through the entire week. Its a fine uplifting diversion and a week of genuine pleas tire for the people of this community who like Instructive form of entertainment, unexcelled anywhere. There in no question but that the future of our state demands good roads through the agricultural sections as well as elsewhere. But there is a very vital question as to how much we should pay for those roads. In the present straitened condition, most farmers are endeavoring to economize wherever possible in order |to squeeze through to better times. I No farmer is spending a cent for refinements or luxuries unless they lead directly to increased production or greater saving. This is a good time for state officials to do the same, and nowhere is it more incumbent on them to watch the costs than in our road building program. The Governor and the state highway commission are strongly committed to the paving of our primary market routes, and to the paving of these with concrete. The cost of this is running close to $25,000 per mile—in some casas higher. We firmly believe that paved roads are inevitable for these main highways—nothing else will stand the strain of modern traffic. But we are not convinced that It is necessary to spen-l $25,000 for. a mile of such roads. Many other states are building good and serviceable hard-surfaced highways at a lower figure. Many highway engineers and other authorities hold that some of the methods to which the Indiana State Highway Commission is committed, are necessarily expensive.—lndiana Farmers Guide. _ < —. BLUFFTON ICE PLANT CLOSES DOWN BECAUSE OF COAL SHORTAGE Bluffton, July 26—Adolph Leimgrubber, manager of the Bluffton Pure Ice company announced this morning that the plant would shut down this evening until the price of coal had come down, so that he could resume the business. He states he has enough coal to last about a week under nromal conditions but this will be used to keep enough ice on hand to supply the hospital and for use in case of sickness. The city will not suffer because of the shut down of the plant, for the reserve supply of natural ice in the houses w-ill take care of this. The houses are well filled at his time and will furnish enough ice to last until the mine situation is settled, he thinks.

I FRANCE FACES BUDGET ‘ DEFICIT OF $350,000,000 I Paris, July 26.—The problem of reI paralions has become France’s “Old I Man of the Sea," always with a I strangle hold on her neck. Since the armistice, France has I spent eighty billion francs, or at the I varying rates of exchange about SB,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000, on the I restoration of her devastated provinces, a task Imposed on Germany by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. This Is the explanation of the entire finan cial and commercial situation of France, her officials say. France has advanced this enormous sum out of her own limited resources, trusting that sometime Germany will make good her promise. Meanwhile, the French taxpayer is forced to pay the interest in this vast debt and the government, facing a deficit of about $35,000,000 in next year's budget, does not know where to turn to find the money for even current expenses. "There is no magician's wand, nor Aladdin’s lamp," said Mr. Francios Marsal, noted financier and former minister of finance, "to fill tne coffers of France with the money of which she is in urgent need." .M. Marshal believes that the limit of taxation has been reached and that the next five or ten years hold nothing for France but hard work, and acceptance of sacrifices. He realizes that France has, as a matter of fact, no real weapon to compel payment. He sees only one way to increase the state's rev enues —by taxing French holders of foreign securities. Unless the budget is balanced and the issue of paper francs curtailed, it is evident that the depreciation of the franc will continue. The check of the proposal of the international bankers to launch a great German foreign loan is still having its effect on the franc on the Paris Bourse. It is almost certain that the dollar will jump again later in the summer when Europe will be compelled to buy wheat and Eng land to cover her cotton purchases in the United States. France has practically lost all hope of getting any cash from Germany for years. Even Premier Poincare, who was chosen to succeed Briand because of his advocacy of the "strong hand,” is forced to admit that thp only hope at present is the realization of the agreements whereby Germany will contribute in merchandise and labor to the reconstruction of the devasted regions. The government is now considering a proposoal of M. Se Trocquer, minister of public works, which would extend Germany’s share in reconstruction from the devasted regions to the whole of France. It would entail a total expenditure of about $1,800,000,000 on public works, such as railroads, the utilization of rivers for the production of electric power, the construction of a tunnel under the Channel and the enlargement of French ports. The untimate cost of this tremendous scheme is to be borne by Germany, according to these plans. MANY FOREIGNERS DON’T UNDERSTAND MEANING OF BATH SAYS HOSPITAL DOCTOR Indianapolis, July 26 —Many foreigners that come to the city hospital here can't understand the meaning of a bath. "Many patients eye soap with an air of curiousity—they don’t know what it is used for,” Dr. Richard A. Poole, superintendent remarked discoursing on the amusing—or just plain aggravating side of hospital life. A recent case was worse than aggravating to a hospital orderly who described a foreigner who thought word “water" was the name of an animal, Dr. Poole said. The orderly soaked the soiled one in hot suds for an hour or so, dumped some strong disinfectant into the water to assuage the stench, took a chew of tobacco so he could eat another meal and then attacked. Many foreigners who “no spick a da English” can’t understand what will happen to them when they go to the hospital and expect the worst, Dr. Poole said. “One patient with scarlet fever was put in the contagious ward, his mother , who thought because she could not see . him, that he was dead and forthwith set up a terrific wail. She was only quieted when we moved his cot where . she could see him by peeking through . the door of the ward. Many "dopey” foreigners that come here do not want to he cured, he said. . There are folks who don’t want them I cured. . They to -slip 1 dope’ concealed . in'Gm'patient's fowi. Watch for the “SPECIAL i ANNOUNCEMENT” of the new ; movie. 175t6 — The committee representing the Inoustrial Association have secured tile promise from 140 to attend the Chautauqua in a body this evening.
