MORE LAWS NEEDED.— A recent number of the Congressional Record says that a total of s**.080 laws have been put on the statute books by Congress. Os this number, 49 have been nullified, leaving the supply now on hand, 50,011. It is indeed a matter not to be wondered at that on every side a great hue and cry is being raised for i more laws. How can any man keep straight with only 50.011 laws to guide him? There is an old saying that two. theads are better than one. Th s is true, and no doubt most of us would j be better off If we had two heads instead of one. And just as every man. | woman and child in the United States should have two heads, so there should be two laws where now we have but one. Instead of 50.011 laws.j what this country needs is 100,022 laws. It is the one universal outcry of a mighty people. Bankers, railroad executives, bricklayers, clairvoyants, ventriloquists and. in fact, men and | women everywhere, regardless of | their parents' politics, are shouting aloud that they can’t get along on 50,011 laws. Thin men up and down this fair land are saying, ‘ laws, laws; we demand more laws!!’’ Vat men from Maine to California are crying out, "Give us more laws or give us' death!” 1 Now is the time. Make hay while the iron is hot! Find out the name of your congressman and write h m today. (Harry Daniel in Thrift Magazine.) That’s right, Harry, and be sure to include laws providing control of the ( weather, that every man must receive at least a million dollars a year and go to Heaven when he dies. Thurman A. Gottschalk of this county and the representative for Adams and Wells has been appointed a member of a committee, suggested by H N. Sherwood and officially appointed by Governor Jackson to make a complete survey of school conditions in Indiana with the object of making such a report to the next general assembly as will co-ordinate and unify the system of rural education in the state. The committee will study factors entering into the rising cost of education and the methods of speeding the tax payers money, the i proposed changes in the taxing unit and other questions which have be ( come and are becoming real problems. Mr. Gottschalk will prove a valuable member of the committee and will we feel sure, with the valuable experience he has had in the past, represent the people of this section of the stale, in a capable and honest manner. When you figure it out, the person you really live with, is yourself. The more you let others in, the more you can crowd yourself out. As you give •yourself in service and love you grow through the gift. But no matter howbusy your life, how crowded your hours, how keen your excitement, how •many your hobbies, how important your task, how interesting your work, how great your love for home and family and friends— no matter how big the city yon live in. how great the crowds yon move in—there comes

Nearly five hundred people died during the past week as a result of the extreme heat wave. These are scattered over many states and the direct causes vary, including prostrations. wind storm, lightning and illness bi ought on or accelerated by the hot weather. A strange thing about the heat wave is that while in most of the states it has broken all former June records, in Colorado, Montana. 1 Arizona and one or two others, the 'average temperature is below normal. Poems by Edgar A. Guest, beyond; question America’s greatest living poet, are now appearing as daily features in this paper. We believe you will like them and that many people will find pleasure in clipping them and saving them for future reference or use. Guest has his own | style and is human. He writes in a 'happy way of the things which ■'“vvill | Interest you most and you will, we know, enjoy his verses. 1 j-"" As was predicted the heat wave broke Saturday afternoon just when 'the weather bureaus were declaring it ’would not do so for two or three days. The rains helped out and grass, crops, flowers, trees, everything has picked up and everything and everybody seems revived. An occasional shower J during the next week or two will mean mill ons of dollars to the farm'ers of the middles west and we are 'reasonably sure they will come. ..i A good county fair is a wonderful advertisement for a community add ! i it is as well a great week so reverybody who enjoys such events and we ] believe everybody does. You may 1 not care for all of it but one big thing 1 about a good fair is that there is something that you like. We are go- ] ing to have one here the week of September 15th. I o

MOTOR COACH IN I SERVICE ON ERIE Makes First Scheduled Run This Morning; Replaces Steam Train

The gasoline motor coach which has been substituted on the Erie railroad between Huntington. Indiana, and | Marion, Ohio, to replace passenger i trans number 238 and 227, passed through Decatur this morning on its first regular schedule run. The coach will leave here eastboniid, at <:57 a. m., and returning westbound, will leave here at 7:52 p. in. The coach will carry mail, express and passengers. Three men will have charge of the new train. There will be an engineer, conductor and expressman. These three will take the place of a former crew of at least five men and often-times six on the steam train. Many eastern railroads have been , running gasol ne operated trains for some time. They are said to be a great saving to the railroad and tan be run more efficiently and give better service. The train will’be used permanently on the Erie unless it proves unsatisfactory. A great speed can be secured from the new trains. The coaches are light, hut safe and „ it is expected that the new schedules can be cut down considerably after the trains are used. u o Indiana And Ohio Are Tied For Big Ten Lead i Chicago, June 3.—Last week saw the possible upset of Ohio State’s ; hopes for retention of an undisputed 1 lead in the Big Ten baseball champi ionsh,p race, waen the lowly Wiscon- ! sin Badgers defeated the conference , leaders 1 to 0 and Indiana took the 1 j Chicago Maroons, tied with them for { second position, into camp 3 to 1. . 1 Ohio and Indiana now are tied for the | lead with eight games won ami two . lost.
