The weather conditions were just about ideal for the study of the eclipse by those who make this their business and we may expect some 1925 information soon. Sutjday should be Sunday and not the Fourth of July. It will be if every church member and every one in sympathy with the work being done by these organizations will take part in tomorrows services. You can’t lose any thing. You are sun l to gain advantages and you will add to your self respect. Tomorrow is Sunday. —■ There are about a thousand young ladies in Vassar college it is said and recently each was asked her opinion about smoking. Os these 132 reported they liked cigarettes, 524 do not smoke and the others had no opinion. Now Arthur Brisbane wauts to kno» which lot will be married first and which will make the best mothers? It's something to think about. The Indiana state highway commission will eventually eradicate the railroad crossing just north of Monmouth we are assured but these matters require time and preferring not to delay the work, the commission will proceed with the work of improving the highway and will taka care of the track elevation as soon as possible which will perhaps lie within a year or so. The contract for the road north from this city will be let the latter part of next month after due notice has been given in the newspapers of this county. '■ "■ ■ ■ — We are so swift these days that eclipses of the sun slip by almost unnoticed. When the sun was hidden •in 1869, chickens went to roost, business ceased, people prayed and there * was it general observation of the •■vent. This morning between sever and eight o’clock an eclipse supposed to be nineteenth-twentieth total o ■ cured but so far as could be learned not a chicken hid its head and ha'f the citizens of the country forgot i there was an extraordinary pjieotioincnon on. And it will be a hundred years before such a thing occurs again, it is elaim'cd by the wise bird . The cross word puzzle was crowdicd out yesterday and a number of suit- 1 »< r bers called in to tell us they wet'- 1 disappointed. We promise you it will not occur again it there is any way to avoid it but were are glad it occurcd for ouc reason, namely, we found out that a lot of folks look for the puzzle:. each day and unless you tell us we have no way of knowing what features you like and wliat you don't care (or. In this case we are sure there are enough men. women and • liiidren interested that we should continue Io publish tin tn and we will t glady do so.

the constabulary measure through ami if it carries will take credit for that measure. It is safe to predict that whatever the outcome they will find some place and some way in which to declare they have been useful to the state. There is much foolishness about it all and certainly a waste of good time. ■ —. — The Hoosier State Automobile Association is making a campaign to secure the assistance of every citizen in the state in selling Indiana to the tourists and they are making a number of suggestions. Here's one paragraph: "Wafer—good water, is one of the problems that the tourist has to solve, but not many towns ever think about making their water supply 'A reason why,.' There is a garage in Dyer that has a deep well right in front of the gas pump and the owners say that well has sold them more gas than anything else they ever tried. And the water isn’t in the gas. A jack ass isn’t much to look at but by golly lie's not afraid to blow his horn and he does it. That's a lot better than having something to shout about and failing tp. doi. it.” Indiana did not make a very good showing in the “get .out the vote” campaign in the 1921 scrap. Statistics now compiled show that we fell off from tho previous election 11.2%. The little state of Wyoming made the bept showing with an increase of ”7.7 per cent while Mississippi where they don't need to vote, was second. Texas was third and California fourth. Idaho made the poorest showing with a decrease of 9 per cent. In the nation 51.2 per cent took advantage of the opportunity tn vote. Os the 56.000,900 entitled to the franchise only 29.000,000 voted However the report shows that in the entire United States more cligibles voted iu Indiana proportionately than in any other state. The poor showing is made from the fact that in this state we have been voting harder than in most sections of the country.

Berne and Monmouth will play the other semi-final game at 3:40 o’clock this afternoon. Indications are that Berne and Kirkland will batle for the championship in the final game at 8:40 o'clock this evening.
