Every thing looks fairly good in this section and with indications that prices will be better than average, the farmer can again take hope. Mr. Porter visited here yesterday and expressed himself most favorable to the plans under way here to remove Elephant rock from its home up the St. Mary s river to a point in this city and to dedicate It to the late Gene Stratton Porter. He feels as , the committee does that it is a finer thing to do than to erect a great

marble monument at a high cost. We are sure if any of the business men of Adams county or any of the farmers will offer suggestion to E. B. Williamson, secretary of the Northern Indiana fair to be held here the week of September 15th. they will be given due and honest consideration by that gentleman and his board and will if possible be carried out. It is the desire to give such a fair as will please the people and will make them desire a continuation of the fair from year to year. Send in your suggestions and let u's print them. The banks of Lagrange county are offering SI,OOO reward for the capture, dead or alive, of any bandit who attempts to rob any of the eleven banks of that county and to make it < • • more effective have equipped the employes of the banks with fire arms. Bandits are thus given notice of a hot reception if they try to pick up any easy change in that locality. Similar action is being taken In almost every county of the state and it will prove effective. Most of the bandits are brave only when they think they have the drop on you. Senator LaFollette will not be burled until next Monday but many

of hia constituents are already doping out what will happen in the Badger state and petitions are being circulated for his widow to succeed him. We don’t know much about the ability of Mrs. LaFollette but we are not ' very strong for the sentiment which sends a relative to succeed an officer. Better select the best qualified man or woman in the state and if that happens to be the widow, well and good, but make sure its the person best fitted to serve the people. 1 Members of the local club of Rotary are pleased and delighted with the election this weA of Arthur Sapp, of Huntington, to be a member of the national board of directors of the Rotarians. He is splendidly qualified for the job, popular among all who know him and just the right Wnd of a man to elevate to so honorable position. He will inject new ideas and will prove a wise and capable member of the directorate. His selection is unanimously approved in Indiana and we believe will be apprelated by every Rotarian when Jiis rvices are summed up at the end the year. nillioQ traffic rules will not do rod unless they are observed tticials do not want to cause

We heard a cur going down Mercer avenue last evening with the exhaust open and firing like a cannon while the occupants were evidently enjoying the racket, we saw several cars cross stop streets without paying any attention to the police signs, we saw two or three exceeding the speed limit, all of which indicates that some will have to be arrested to prove that the laws are in force and can be used if necessary. Officials of Indiana iateurban lines are asking an injunction to prevent the public service commsiston carrying out the law recently enacted and which provides for the issuance of certificates giving buses the right to operate in competition with the traction lines and railroads. They point out that it will bean the ruin of every interurban lines and cause the suspension of most of them. While objections have always been offered to progress there does seem to be some cause for complaint by those who have invested millions. Why not follow the suggestion made the other

day that the traction lines be converted into highways for the use of buses to ire owned and conducted by the traction companies themselves? Hurrah for Bill Hunt, railroad engineer at Buffalo. He has invented an apparatus which uses a combination of gasoline, water and oil and can run two hundred mil»s on one gallon, of gas. Now if he can get it ou the market before his game is checked by Johnny D.. or some other magnate, the people will feel they can afford to drive their cars, even when times are hard. Won t it be tough on the states which have enacted a gasoline tax law and have anticipated the receipt of millions of dollars for road purposes? It would also put out of business most of the gannline stations add rather change A '■‘-» l Sl»r***ilili ii >«nw ..hl, things so much that something is almost sure to happen which will prevent it becoming popular, but a lot of people will be pulling for Bill to put it over just the same.

The statement which was prepared for the Cooperative School Bulletin is as follows: “Indiana is host to the National Education Association this summer. It is the policy of this association to hold its annual meetings in the various centers of the United States. Our country is large and Indiana, therefore, cannot hope for a long time to be chosen again for its sessions. “Educational leaders from aU over the United States will have a place on the program. Both for information and inspiration, this occasion is without a parallel for Indiana teachers. For this reason. Indiana's twenty-two thousand teachers should be well represented. “This event also appeals to our state pride. We hold a high rank in educational rating. We want to hold it) To do so we must take advantage of every avenue that leads to new methods of teaching and to new systems of schools. We must feed the fire of our professional spirit. One excellent way Is to meet [the choice spirits of other states and

June 20 —Governor of Wisconsin, probably will call a special election to choose a successor to Senator Robert La Follette, it was learned today. The Wisconsin executive prefers this course to making an appointment which the iaw permits. In a measure, the decision is a tribute to the late senator, who preferred election of all offices rather than appointments.

BANK BANDIT IS CAPTURED Constable Catches Bandit As He Leaves Bank In Boonville, Indiana Boonville, Ind., June 20, —Cursing the luck that keeps the dollars in the hands of so-called capitalists, Charles Krohn ruminated in jail here today over his failure in two business ventures, once a farmer and just last night an unsuccessful bank robber. Krohn figured his lates turn would have been most renumerative, but his doggone cabby failed in the crisis and $1,500 from the State Bank of Elberfeld, near here, once safely in his hands, was back in the bank vault today. ChasJie, singing the plowboy blues over farm oppression swung into the State bank at Elberfeld, with p gun on his hip and determination in his eye. Herding the cashier and president of the bank into the vault, he scooped up all the money in sight—sl.so0 —and walked out to the taxicab in which he came from Evansville. The cab was there but Charley Schultz, the driver from Evansville, was sipping a eool drink nearby and didn't see his fare. The hank president kicked a burg l*r alarm as ho entered the vault and Constable Snow caught Charlie Krohn. 0 y X Receives Check From Mooseheart Headquarters J. M. Briener, chairman of the .Mooseheart Extension service for the local lodge, this morning received the first check for fifty dollars from the Mooseheart headquarters, to be turned over to the Harvey Ward family. They will receive this amount each month until the children are grown. Mr. Ward, who was a member of the Moose, was accidentally killed last fall and the local lodge applied for assistance for the family, Mrs. Ward preferring this to taking the three children to Mooseheart. This will enable her to educate and rear her family at home. o REV. RUF SPEAKS AT BERNE Fort Wayne Man Gives Interesting Talk In Community Auditorium.
