The men 1 in the governor’s own party should at least give him a little consideration for the state's chief executive is trying to do all he can and will ' have troubles all his own for many t a day. ’ i The county council cut twelve 1 thousand dollars from the proposed ' budgets for next year and reduced (lie tentative tax levies six cents on ( the hundred dollars. The bridge pro- i gram was reduced to *4J,,000.06, the ’ general expense budget reduced to 1 ‘l■ I I *90.000.00 and the highway appropria--tion reduced W *102,000.00.’ ' The ( county budget, ixelusive of _Uie_ highway repair fund and including bond , ami interest money on bridges and .- the hospital totals *148,579.00 for next year. The tax- 1 payers will appreciate the saving and < believe that it is a step in the right . direction. < — Adame county for the first time in f history will have a Probation Officer whose duty it will be to deal with • •1 s juvenile cases. The county council, at the request of Judge J. C. Sutton, j appropriated the sum of two hundred dollars for the salary of the for the balance of this year. Judge « 1’ Sutton will appoint the officer and it. is believed that the new office will ‘ serve its purpose to good advantage. , Too much attention to the younger ( people who through misfortune or i lack of good home teaching fall into trouble or do things in violation of the law cannot be given, and in many cases the child can be taught to see ’ the error of his way before crime grows on him. It will be the Probation Officer’s duty to look after such cases. During these days when most people are “living on wheels,” or earning seven dollars a day and spending I eight, it is gratifying to note that the ! subject of of "Thrift" has been added to the curriculum of the Decatur schools and that tho subject, with all its will be taught to the pupils in the schools here. People may complain or talk of "hard times”

but most of the complaint is occasioned by the gait we live. On the surface the people of today are not practicing thrift, that is, a majority of them. Most of us are trying to see how much we can,spend or how qjuch • wo can buy. lxx>k about yon and you can see where thrift could be applied in your own household. The local banks know the true value of i thrift and in order to encourage it [ among the younger generation they i are financing the cost of the program 'in the local schools. If the pupils take an interest in it and try to benefit by the teachings and examples propounded to them it wiH be of great benefit to them. The only regrettable part of the whole matter is that only three minutes a day can be allotted to the subject. The banks are to be' congratulated on their public-spirited act in making it possible to secure the course, and the school trustees an<t superintendent I prove that they are looking to the future and to the welfare and happiness of the pupils in seeing that the I subject is taught them. o Water Sports Planned For Legion Convention Michigan City, Ind., Sept. s.—The ‘ thousands of who come to the state conveatlon of the Ameri- | can Legion to be held in Michigan ] City Sept. 10, 11 and 12. will have th<- opportunity of taking part in and witnessing a program of water sports j such as. has never been seen at a state Legion convention.

“SO THIS IS LONDON” AT THE MAJESTIC FRIDAY

On Friday ami, Saturday" of this week, the attraction extraordinary at the Majestic theater. Fort Wayne, with a Saturday matinee, will be George M. Cohan's production of his “hands-across-the-sea” comedy "‘So This la Ixindon,” which played a sensationally successful four month's run at the Grand Opera house in Chicago, one solid year tn New York at the Hudson theater and Is now the biggest hit ever scored by an American attraction in the English Metropolis, where It is playing to capacity at the Prince of Wales Theater, London, England. "So This is London” was written by Arthur Goodrich, who evidently had the purpose In view of breaking down the silly prejudices that have continued to exist ever since the American revolatton, between the English and Americans. He has succeeded In exposing the fact that most of the aforesaid prejudices are' founded on misconceptions of each others real characters. Keen satire and the clean Cohanesque humor, which "George M. Cohan has so deftly interwoven, serves to provide a continual deluge of delightful, goodhumored ridicule, that strikes the high s]x>ts of character delineation, in both British and American types, while depicting the ludicrous mannerisms and petty peculiarities of each. He has succeeded in proving that most of the aforesaid prejudices are founded on misconceptions of national characteristics of the Yankee and the Britain. —Advt.

FIGHTING FOUL BROOD Indianapolis, Sept. 5. —State agents under the direction of C. O. -Yost, state apiarist, are stamping out the dangerous American foul brood in bee colonies throughout the state this year. Although the authorities have the situation well in hand they are determined to burn out all colonies ,in which the fould brobd appears to prevent the pest from becoming widespread again. The agents first kill the bees with gasoline, then clean out the hives completely, and set fire to everything but the hive itself. Tile American foul brood, according to Yost, does not attack the mature bee. It attacks the larvae, and if not checked will rapidly destroy the colony. If disease wipes out one colony, robber bees on the lookout for collected honey, carry the store left by the dead colony to their own hives and thus another colony is infected. If the bee owner dose not call in state agents or kill the colony him-
