RECKLESS DRIVING: — The Hoosier Auto Association snys tin a recent statement: ‘Some of these days a determined effort is apt to be made by federal enactment to require a device on all motor vehicles to limit the speed to about twenty miles an hour or so—and the more fifty-miles-an-hour drivers there are the quicker that time will come. “The driver who keeps up his road speed, or anything near it, when he passes through towns or villages is most surely prompting the thought that speed governors may be necessary on all cars. • "The driver who insists on passing everything on the road —who in so passing at terrific speed swfTys so close to another vehicle as to crowd that car off the road, or come near to doing so—he is also fostering the idea of the mechanically controlled speed limit. “The driver who insists on driving with headlights not only known to be illegal but known to be against all common decency from the standpoint of public safety, is surely bringing down a day of wrath on the heads of all other motorists, most of whom are fair-minded and wish to regard the rights of the other fellow always. “The driver who dashes on through blind intersections and who gives little heed to railroad crossings; the driver who utters those famous last words: ‘I think 1 can make it’—those fellows will eliminate themselves from the picture eventually byway of the trippie-play-locomotive, to coroner to cemetery—with the ambulance given to assist. But, the trouble is they nearly always take a toll of innocent and helpless victims with them. There are many other types of drivers doing their part to speed the day of drastic regulations. Beautiful services in memory of the late president, Warren G. Harding were held yesterday aS was done in thousands of towns and cities over this nation. The service here was simple, impressive and attended by several hundred patriotic citizens. Dr. Hill's address was intended to impress the audience with the fact that some efforts to lighten the burdens of the presidents should be made by all of us, and it did. The great responsibili- , ties of our executives and the never ending “mussing up” by office seekers and politicians, will break down the health of any man who conscientiously assumes the high duties and Dr. Hill plead for a change in the attitude of our people towards the president. His address was a direct and eloquent appeal to reason with a eulogy for the departed president and his splendid wife. The prayers offered Were sincere and the songs sweet and impressive, it was an appropriate service for the hour. The gloom which has prevailed over the nation the past week will gradually rise as we busy ourselves with other matters. Depressing as the sad death of the president has been, it is the will of He who calls us to higher planes, that we go on with our work litre. r*crlliipo tucov things occur that we may stop a few hours and a few days and think. For eight

days the people of the netlbn hhVh mourned the death of a beloved president who yesterday was consigned to the tomb tn his old homo town of p Marion, Ohio. Wo shall not forget f. the lessons emphasized by the life of “ Mr. Harding, but we will go on to the ’, future with grlivo dcfermlnntldn to live up to the standards fixed by our great leaders. s ) Washington is filled with politicians s ) big and little now. The little fellows ’> are Job hunting and the big fellows ) are too, but on a lantor scale. They I are trying to find odt just which way the wind is going to blow for the presidency. They overlook the fact that the selection will not be made for nearly a year and that in the meantime the things which transpire and , the methods used will have much to , do with the question of selecting leaders for the campaign next year. President Coolidge today really begins his great work of governing a hundred and fifteen million people.. During the past week while he held the office in reality there was a hushwhich held back the most of those who would impose upon the Now they will feel themselves licensed to go the limit and the president will have some busy hours. o — t Germany Will Import Wheat From Russia German grain importers have con- 1 traded for 12,795,000 bushels of rye from Russia to be delivered during the coming year, according to a cablegram received by the United States Department of Agriculture from its representative in Berlin. The Ger-, man Government has advised the United States Agriculture Commissioner that the contracts have bene made and that part payment is to be made in goods. — o > Going, Going, Sold!

Aug. 11—More imfo. pendent football teams will be organ , Izod in Indiana this year. The grid game becoming more poty. lar each season and larger crowds will witness clashes between independent elevens in 1923 than in pre. i vious year. • From all parts of the state aggregg. i tlons of stalwarts will be welded Into strong teams. Gosport and Shelby ville in south central Indiana will present formidable combinations. Evansvllle will put a strong team In the i field from the extreme southwestern part of the state. Northern Indiana has always hkd many strong teams. The Kokbiho American Legion team, which made such a wonderful record in 1922, will again be organized.’ . , It is possible for managers to arrange good schedules with mahy strong teams in the state—with teams 'he fans want to see.
