Where is that fellow who said we wouldn't have any summer weather? Take a look at the crops you old pessimists who were predicting a month ago a total failure. Everything is booming and the lost sixteen days have already been made up. Indications now are for a bumper, so be happy. The Geneva boys did good work in holding the state road route. It would have been easier if we had a county road organization and there may be some other matters to look after before we get through. We all want the best for the greatest number of people and we ought to be prepared to look after our own interests. Allen county assessors refuse to meet the demands of Phil Zoercher to boost them and will let the state J board put on the horizontal increase. If they don't and the present assessments in Allen county are permitted | to stand, then all the counties in this section are too high and will be pay-! ing a share of Allen county’s expenses to the state. Wouldn't is be fine to be included in the wonderful five day trip on the Leviathan which satrted today? Six hundred are enjoying the hospitality of Chairman Lasker of the shipping board and the cost estimated at two million dollars is charged to the tax payers of this county. If such trips as these are designed to make proposed ship subsidy popular, those in charge are “kidding” themselves. A Fort Wayne man driving a big high powered car at a rate of speed said to exceed the thirty miles permitted under the law failed to turn the corner just north of town last night and struck a car going north. Both cars were badly damaged but the occupants luckily escaped. Mr. Meyers who was driving the car from this city to his home, could not escape the crash and as a result will have a big financial loss. Why car drivers persist in seeing how fast they can drive on a road of loose stone and even try to make a turn is beyond comprehension but they do

and the worst part of It is that when something happens, often careful drivers on the road get a big part of the damage. The First Christian church of Pine ■ Bluff, Ark., wants mothers to bring their babies to church. But it doesn’t want the babies in the auditorium. It has devised a novel way of letting 1 the mothers take part in the church I service undisturbed and yet keep in - touch with their babies. The infants are installed in a nursery adjacent to the main auditorium, and there is an electric signal system by which to communicate with their mothers. There, is a cabinet in the auditorium, facing the congregation, with a‘separate number for every baby and an electric light behind the number. When any particular mother is needed in the nursery, her signal flashes up and she can go and look after her offspring. It sounds extremely modern and efficient. But it also sounds as if those electric lights might distract the attention of the worshippers just as much as a baby crying in a pew. —Goshen News-Times. Though the State Highway Commission has decided to leave the pld route for the north and south highway stand, it is very important that we have a county organization just the same for there are many things ' which should be looked after. With the right kind of an organization we could have much influence regarding material and width of road and other matters of importance. Also the time is near when east and west roads will be considered and within five years it is estimated the main trunk highways will be established. These roads will be built and maintained by the state and government and it is just as important that we J route them through this county as it was fifty years ago that we got rail- ' ( roads. A county organization could , assist in marking the roads and could , do a number of things of great benefit to every one. We would like to see such an organization formed and believe it would prove most advantageous in many ways. o —— Hawkins Company Loses Suit In Miami County Peru, June 19—Mrs. Nancy Barker, 80-year old resident of Rochester, was given a judgment of $7,000 against the Hawkins Mortgage company, of Portland, by a jury in the Miami circuit court late Saturday afternoon. The judgment rendered was for the full payment asked for in the complaint. Mrs. Barker claimed that she had been swlndeled out of $6,000 of her savings by a stock salesman of the defendant company. She was granted this amount together with interest and attorney’s fees. It was not learned whether or not the decision would be appealed to a higher court. —. • -o MENU TO BE SERVED BY W. R. C.
