Take down the old placards and bills from your business front. Nothing 100k.3 worse or proves a merchant is asleep like a lot of dirty old card signs in the window. Reports from the program, parade, reception and other committees show 4hat every thing is progressing for the big day here next Tuesday. There is not a hitch and it will be a happy occasion if all the people join in making it so. Get your basket ready for the picnic at Ilellmont next Tuesday. If you haven't time to pack one you can secure refreshments on the grounds as there will he several stands conducted by various churches. Plan to attend the big celebration and plan for all day. Pm Hand, is voting on the selection of a postmaster all this week and the results will be interesting for its a four to one shot the favorite won't be high man.

If this is possible we will have a class of five hundred as a number are coming from other counties to join the class here.

About the greatest contributor to ( motor accidents these days is the t reckless driver and there seems to be 1 many of them. As soon as a person 1 ( learns to drive a car they seem to desire to see how fast the. old thing £ will travel and if some one gets in 1 their road —well then its up to tie 1 c goddess of luck. The safety bureau ' o ft he Hconfer Motor Club is making a campaign against reckless driving ( and it is hoped they will succeed in - placing the soft pedal on the speed 1 demons.

The strike situation continues ratlj■ | or serious. The outlook for a settle-1 ment of the coal strikers looks bright- j er than any time for several weeks 1 j but as this news comes we are in- 1 formed that the railroad workers are showing more fight and a determ- { ination to further paralyze the nation | by a tie-up of traffic. In the west on t several roads no trains are operating and there are reports of much suffer- < ing. This is but the start of an 1 economic condition, the end of which ! cannot be foretold. When a snow! bali starts down hill it is hard to I stop until it reaches the-bottom and especially so when those behind it give it an occasional shove. The people are the “goats” but in these strikes they do not seem to be greatly considered. Indiana does not permit prize fights but Michigan City has pulled two contests during the past few weeks that would require some kind of ail expert—the sheriff of that county not being one—to distinguish between a prize fight and a sparring CUM*' '* ' ,-V‘fe - : V

match. On September Ist they will have the big attraction, Jack Dempsey. the world's greatest fighter to meet big Bill Brennan, second only to Jack. Suppose that oue of them lands on the other's jaw or finds the soft place beneath the heart and the recipient goes to sleep? Is It still a boxing exhibition? If Michigan City can have world championship bouts what is to provent similar affairs in every couuty In the state and why not compete with New Jersey and Nevada? In other words just why can Michigan City get away with this? A lot of people are wondering.

After Art Smith, the brilliant airplane pilot at the McCook field, Day ton, finished a series of exhibition flights a few nights ago, doing some loop-the-loops, etc., with his airplane Illuminated, it looks as though most anything can be done with the heav-ier-thun-air machine either during the cusolmary day flying schedules or during the night. At any rate the government announces it is going to give additional attention to night flying tests at the McCook field. A mail airplane has been ordered to the field for these experiments. Searchlights and other necessary equipment for many flights will be provided. The circumstances seem to indicate that Unde Sam's postoflice depart ment considers that mail delivery via the airplane route, both day and night, can easily become a possibil itv with proter attention given to the subject. Night flyiug, as a matter of record, is still in its infancy in America. In Europe it is engaged in, both for commercial and experiment j al purposes. During the World War I many raids of airplane squadrons' struck terror into the hearts of un- ] happy neighborhoops thus visited. The government likely will discoaei | that American pilots can be as sue-1 cessful with night flying as with day flying.—Dayton News. MESSAGES FROM GOVERNOR ANI) U. S. SENATORS (Continued from page one) terested in any embodiment or ex j pression of those ideals along prac- 1 tical lines. It is not enough that we proclaim ! charity but we must justify our ex- j yressions of faith by our works. It is ] not sufficient for us to advocate in! general terms our desire to care for' the widows and the orphans of our 1 deceased brothers, but’ this altruistic ! expression must find its way into the! actual deeds of those who proclaim it. i if their professions are to be believed, j in other words, we must square the j

deed with flic work if our professions of fraternity are to be passed beyond I lie stages of mere verbal announcements. And how can this spirit be better manifested than by generously caring for the helpless children of deceased brothers? This is the very essence of fraternal charity, and there fore, every movement of the character ot tiie one in which you are interested should be encouraged, by all right feeling and right thinking people. I earnestly trust that this enterprise will pass from the stage ot speculation to one of success, and that it will prove a blessing to the Order that establishes it and to the community that, fosters it. Very Respectfully Yours JAMES E. WATSON. •August 9, 1922. I>r. Roy Archbold, Decatur, Ind. My Dear Doctor: I have been asked for my opinion of the value of the movement projected by the Rrotherhood of American Yeomen to establish a “City of Childhood.” r do not believe that any finer way could be found to give expression to the best instinct of humanity than by the establishment of that kind of a home. I have the great honor to be a member of the Loyal Order of Moose which, as you know, founded such a. home at Mooseheart, Illinois. I feel that the State of Indiana had been greatly honored if something on a similar plan should be established within her limits and 1 cordially endorse the plan and hope that it may he carried to a highly successful future development. • Very Truly Yours. HARRY S. NEW I August IDU, 1322. [ Dr. Roy Archbold, . Decatur, Indiana. My dear Mr. Ardibold: 1 have just ' learned of the movement of the Prctherhood ot American Y«ow«4 to
