We have talked about providing ; rest room and comfort station here for a number of years. Always some thing has arisen to prevent it. This is the only county seat in this part ’ of the country wherfe this accomodation is not given to the public and public stations, open day and night are found in nearly every hamlet 'and town. Here the rest room at the court , house is open during the day and the room provided by the civic section of 1 the Woman's Club is open during the evenings J>ut there is a demand for , one that will be open day and night i and properly cared for. Every organi ’ zation in this city is back of the pro ject, but the real thing to learn i ] whether or not the people over tin | county wish It. i We believe they do and we think i the effort now being made to ascer tain the fact is worthy. A delegation of men and women appeared before the board of commissioners this morning and presented their cast and an estimate that a modern sta 1 tion can be built at the court house 1 I for approxmatelv $15,000. The commissioners approved the course and agreed to the plan of circulating pe titions over the county. If these are liberally signed the county counci: and the board of commissioners will act. They wish to do what the people want done ami if you want a res room, built and maintained by tin county, sign and urge others to sign the petitions which will be distribut cd over the county. A $15,000 expenditure would meat an increased levy of three or sou cents if paid in one year. The coal could be distributed over four year at a tax increase of one cent. O course there is a slight cost a there is to every thing we do in tin way of progress. It’s only a question of whether or not we want to go on stand still or back up. The women over the county cat help to a great extent in this move meat and it is hoped they take an in forest in it one way or another. W< will be glad to publish your opinion: if you will send them ih.' Brisbane, who writes editorials for it-arst, think- the election of a presi dent will go to the senate eventually. He declares LeFollette is the only candidate for president who is not , asleep and that he will carry enough ) strnes to throw the dicislon into con ( gre c,, that body win deadlock and the f «u.n cuosen by th e senate to be vice . president will become president. II ' should be remembered in this con section, however, that the campalgn is still to be made. Mr. Davis and Mr. Coolidge will be notified of their nomination next week npd then will immediately start active work. We do not doubt that LaFollotte will Ke t a large number of votes, perhaps a million or two in the United States, but these will be scattered that the only way in which they will effect the outcome is by taking a larger percentage from one of the oid parties than from the other.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt r Wife of the Democratic Leader ' (By Joe Mitch*!! Chapple) i i Now that the Campaign is on. Con- ! vent lon memories have a reminiscent glow. There was a bright little lady Sitting in a box at Madison Square Gulden watching her husband as he held that great throng in breathless suspense, with a speech ringing out in rich, full tones.. Franklin D. Roosevelt was helped to the speaker's stand, and with plucky endurance he stood on his crippled limbs for more than an hour delivering an impassioned speech for the nomination of Governor Al Smith of New York. There was a large sprinkling .of women among the delegates, but there was a power of woman exercised in the old' way—in subtle, subconscious inspiration of "those who confer favors of the joust." When Franklin Roosevelt turned he caught a glimpse of the face of his face which must have spurred him for his climax, for Mrs. Roosevelt is a home body wrapped up in the aflalrs of her husband and fam- 1 iiy- j Mrs. Roosevelt attended the Nation-! al Convention of the National League of Women Voters in Buffalo, but only as an on-looker —the same as at Madison Square Garden —but the perspective of an on-looker often enhan- 1 ces the view. "You know,” she said, “I feel that sometimes an audience and the spectators are quite as necessary as gladiators and speakers for a great oc-| casion. I have felt that with the responsibility given women by the vote! that I here would be something done for bringing about more d< finite plans tor securing enduring and permanent: world peace. It has not been done by i women as yet. Perhaps we continue, to talk a great deal, but something! must-be done with the Democles' blade that hangs over the head of i very mother as she reads on and realizes what war means.” Although there were other issues before the Convention, women everywhere are thinking in common on one i subject—“war must not come again!"! The “fifty-fifty" resolution was passed by both Conventions, and women feel content that the evil laws! reflecting the spirit of the cavemen, days will be eliminated from the statutes of various states.

We hope nothing will interfere', with the plans of the committee whoj have been working hard the past week to effect a compromise that will enable the city council and the Clover leaf officials to get together on the switch proposition. It’s important and it ought to be worked out. No one wants any thing which is unfair and it lool;s like with that pont in view, i ~iwu'd be done. A*ml it s time to do it. Now here is something to worry you: Prof. Henry Fairchild, world’s greatest authority, says that in lO.OOtt <ears there won't be standing room in this country if we continue to increase our populaton as we have the past century. He also figures that by tlie end of this century the United States will have a third more population than crowded China ha- now and with one-fourth less area.

In that row of horse-shoe x boxes where society and beauty have looked upon many fashionable events in Madison Square Garden, society women assembled session after session with keen interest in the speeches land voting, watching the proceedings i is if they were the succeeding acts of I a great play. / Mrs. Roosevelt was one of the wo- ' men present who seldom let her eyes winder far from her husband, —when ■on the platform or on the floor—a 1 conspicuous leader in the Convention I He made the final statement for Governor Smith that he would withdraw if McAdoo would do likewise, thus releasing the delegates. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt has always been a Roosevelt. When she was ■ married it was not necessary for her to change her name Her maiden I name was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt md she was married in New York in i 1905. Whether as the wifi of a New York fltorney, or Assistant Secretary I of the Navy, or nominee for Vice Pres ;ident of the United States in 1920. or busy with the work for the Franklin Free Hospital for children. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has been an active helpmate and companion to her distinguished husband who was hon'cred with votes for President on sev- '. ral ballots.

Aug. 5 —(Special to Daily Democrat).—There is some misunderstanding among landowners regarding laws protecting fur-bearing animals; when said animals may be lawfully killed and trapped, and when fur may be taken conservation officials said today. According to George N. Mannfeld. . chief of the fish and game division. | it i s unlawful lor any person to kill | or possess any fox, raccoon, skun«., , opossum, mink or muskrat, or the j freshly skinned hides thereof during the closed season, February 10 to November 10. except that landowners have tlje right to kill such animals when found doing damage or destroying property on their premises. When an animal i g so killed, however, the fact must be reported to the conservation department in writing within five days, and arrangements made for dis position of the hide or fur. This law carries the provision that holding fur animals for breeding is registers with the department, and legal when the party holding same lias received a certificate of inspection. Such certificate will issued until proof is established that said animals were caught in the lawful open season. There is no provision, bo says, for taking fur animals in closed season for breeding or any other purpose. , Fur farming is rapidly growing in popularity in Indiana, and a number of citizens are realizing a handsome income from it. Records in feld's office show that 110 persons registered Of game birds and fur-breeding animals in the past year. A certificate of inspection which entitles the holder to propagate wild animals in captivity, costs $5 and is renewable annually. o FIRE CAUSED BY LIGHTNING (Continued From Page One) and had the fire pretty well under : control. The large barn Caught fire several times and was badly scorched, but the heroic work of the neighbors and the city firemen saved it from destruction.
