The boost in prices on grain and livestock are encouraging and we hope they continue in force. Os course just now the average farmer has but little to sell and the question bothering him is whether or not the prices will hold when the harvest begins to move. The candidates who are figuring on how many can hear their speeches when made over the radio should also get an estimate on how many sit and listen to a political speech for an hour. When you get tired of listening on the radio you can cut out much easier than you can leave a crowded hail. More than fifty people were injured in riots near Worcester, Mass., last night, following klan parades. That’s foolish on both sides. If men and women arc silly enough to want to march around in night dresses and Imagine they are doing any thing but fattening the purse of some smooth organizer, let them march. They will get tired after a while and quit. Plans tor the coming campaign will be completed in the eighth district s(»n and it is probable the fireworks will open early in September. The only registration in this county will be held thirty days before election but there will be poll taking, speeches, rallies and the usual effort to arouse the voters. It is important this year that every one who has the right of franchise takes advantage of it. The French delegates to the interallied conference seem to be getting a little common sense through their craniums. They have held out for impossible things from Germany and have held up the settlements which would mean peace and prosperity. Now they are about to do what they have been asked to do and what everybody knew they would eventually have to do. The county needs a rest room and while we would not urge an Increased (fix rate we hope there is some way the county councilmen and commissioners can figure to provide comfort stations beneath the court house. Every county in the middlewest has this convenience for those who visit the county seat and certainly this splendiid community can keep up with them. A petition is being circulated asking the board of safety to keep Winchester ami Second streets open. As the order now stands all cars must stop at "Five Points," causing much inconvenience and some confusion. Ev,vy one geetns to be trying to obey the order and that’s a further reason by the board should be reasonable the request. lt they do not h It advisable to Wincheß .

From his earliest boyhood days, amid the haunts of Greene County. Alabama, where he was born in 1864. W. P. G. Harding has been known as u financier. Necessity compelled a training along this line in tjte days of Recon- ■, struction in the South—a situation i. somewhat analogous to after-war con-, , dltions overseas. On the old plantations. where fields had gone to weeds, and the war had left its scars, he s learned that production was the first t question. How to prepare for produc- , tion was another question. His first , determination was to secure an edit cation and he had the distinction of 1 being the youngest full graduate of ( ■ the University of Alabama, obtaining' his M A. in 1881. With a diploma that • i he could not well afford to frame, he , began as a clerk in a private bank at 1 Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Efficiency soon ’ makes away and he became book- I keeper. The Berney National Bank 11 called him to Birmingham and even- i tually he became president of the i First National Bank of that city Ap- l pointed member of the Federal Re- i serve Board in Washington in 1914. i and in 1916 he was the managing director of the War Finance Corpora- < tion.

He says "half we eat keeps us alive, the other half kills us." f A man past fifty who works hard should have three ounces of meat a day, those who don’t work so hard, should have less. The Frenchman is taught from childhood to eat less and leave the table hungry. In America we are so hospitable, we urge every one. even the children to eat more.

living. Tin- cost of living Is a relative term. The purchasing power and activity of the dollar is what counts. Money accumulating in the .banks nnd not working indicates a smokeless chimney and idle workmen. ' The great mass of American people are beginning to appreciate the cour- ’ age it requires to create and pay new payrolls. No business is immune f’.om its ups and downs. When it is down the overhead and labor must be • I paid and credit is strained, debts are I I incurred, so when the tide turns th'jjl man who stopped the hole in the dike I must not be denied well-earned ad- I vantage* to build up revenue 'in the 5 flood tide.” Enthusiastic concerning the adjustment of world conditions. Mr. Hard-! Ing insists that recognizing conditions p of others and then eliminating temper t and politics, racial hatred and sec-‘a tional bias will soon crystallize a o general world financial policy that \ will lead to general prosperity. L ’ There are conditions and problems 0 at home among our own people that y must be adjusted before we can be- 1 come a factor abroad. Some people! seem to think of life as a physical \ process. They eat. sleep, have physeal amusement and want to settle' all questions with fist fights or with,, force.

July 30.—(Special to Daily Dr mocrat)—Pavement is completed on St.ati Road No. 1. between Indianapolis ami Kokomo as the last gap at the Tipton- Hamilton county line was closed July 17. However. says John D. AV illiams, state roads director, in the commission’s weekly traffic bulletin isued today, this pavement can not be used before August 1, as 21 days curing is necessary. The town of Westfield is still widening the street parallel with the highway necessitating continuance of a detour. Three uncompleted bridges projects north of Westfield also will make necessary a detour for several weeks around new pavement at the Tipton -Hamilton county line. Williams pointed out that excellent progress was made the last week at paving State .Road 22 between Indianapolis and Martinsville. This contract calls for approximately 25 miles of pavement. Saturday July 26, a-check showed 10 miles completed on the Indianapolis end. and 4 miles on the Martinsville end. Be cause through traffic between the two cities finds it more convenient to use No. 12. only local traffic uses a part of the completed No. 22. The commission. Williams says, is vey anxious to push this project as No. 22 carries a great colume of traffic from southern and western Indiana to Indianapolis. Ordered To Store His Ford; Traded It Off (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., July 30—Louin Northern was arrested for speeding an,i as punishment was ordered to store his flivver for forty days He

traded the popular low priced car in on a new automobile. He thought that excused him from the storing or- ' dvr. This is what Northern told Motor 1 Policeman Tremp who has post coni- 1 pleted a survey of the city to see 11 < motorists are obeying the storag< rules Imposed on merely 206 in a re- f cent speeder cleanup drive by police. t Northern was the only man out <’ < forty arrested to disobey the stor age order. Trent? said. Northern got t a ride to police headquarters in the f patrol where he was reslated. He f was expected to be fined in court this 1 afternoon. * Tremp found interesting things while making his survey. One motorist asked permission to drive his car forty feet. He wanted to put it under shelter. Many motorists were taking advantage of the layoff from driving by overhauling their cars, and many were being repainted. 0 ALL OVER INDIANA Shelbyville—lnhabitai ts got excited when Ed.
