HAWKINS IS GUILTY:— Yes sir, E bob, the wheels of time grind slowly, but they grind exceed•ng fine. It took the Jury just a dozen minutes to find Morton S. Hawkins, the Portland financier, guilty of using the mails to defraud and he will serve a several years terms in prison. Fifteen or twenty years ago, Mort .started out to get a million dollars and he did it, but for some time it has been known that his methods of getting it were some what questionable and nearly a year ago fourteen men associated with him in the enterprise of which he was the head, were convicted. It was a cinch that Mort would get a similar or larger dose of the same medicine and on the eve of October Ist last, when lie was to go on trial he disappeared. For months the federal sleuths hunted him and he was finally located and arrested at Dayton several months I ago. He fought removal to this state for trial but lost and his hearing came in Indianapolis this week. He was the only witness for the defense, con , tending that if given time he would have made every company a par investment. However, the evidence by 'other witnesses did not indicate that and his conviction was disposed of as soon as the jury could organize and report. Hawkins unquestionably has abilityhut like too many in recent years was lured by the opportunity to sell worthless stock. He found that i gullible people would buy poor stock almost as quickly as they would good stock and so he fed it to them in large quantities. The lesson is that it doesn’t pay after all to violate the laws. This man will now serve a tiresome term in prison and during the rest of his life will dream of the distress and sorrow he has brought to many investors who gave him all of their life's earnings. During his career of a few years, it was shown he handled five or six million dollars and many others profited by being a part of his organization which finally became extensive, reaching a hundred cities In which he conducted branches and covering a number of middle western states. The Fourth of July is at hand and for the next twenty-four hours you will hear every where you go, the boom of fire crackers, the noise of the cannon and see the colored lights of the roman candle, sky rockets and toy baloons. Annually we celebrate the occasion of July 4th, 1776, when we declared we “are and of right ought to be free and independent.” To be sure a lot of us do not realize just what its all about but a sufficient •lumber do catch the real purpose of the occasion sufficiently to make it ta continued popular event. It is well but it is also important that you use the greatest care to avoid an injury which will cause you sorrow the rest of your life. Be patriotic and observe the occasion but remember that it is not a day when license is granted to cause injury or destruction to your self or others. Newspapers over the state are boosting Lew Ellingham for state chainffan and his selection would be a little the smartest thing they ever *

The Ku Klux Klan has put President Coolidge in the hole by extending an invitation that he review their parade at a big national metding to be held at Washington early next month. He will have to find some kind of a loop holo for either acceptance or rejection of tne invitation, means a division of his forces. No difference what job we hold, there are plenty of difficulties to surmount, it seems. John D. Rockefeller says as far hack as the family tree is disclosed he members have been spanked when they needed It. Suppose if they didn’t tiring in enough cash each day they were taken out and strapped. That explains how the richest man in the world piled up a fortune of a billion in one life time, but that's commerlalizing it. Well, any way. we are keeping cooler with Coolidge than we would if we had to keep cool with he and congress too. Its almost uncanny how well we are getting along with out a continuous session of the law makers. The really big men of America have made good by doing those things they didn't want to do when they didn't want to d<> It. o - —

The years are long as you look ahead. But short when you've lived them through. And the yesterdays in the past lie dead, And gone are their pleasures, too; For the Joys to be seem far away, But swiftly they join with some yesterday. . ) Youth looks out with an envious eye. On the great world's changing stage, And it longs to share, as the days go by In the cares of the older age; But age looks back with a sigh and cries: "How swift is time and how soon it flies!” Youth says slowly the long years drift FOURTH My country's birthday! In the morning sun 'Old Glory ripple s. beautiful to see. Unstained by hatred, shame or tyranny! Now ere the round of duties Is begun. From this day's minutes, let me take but one. And as a child unto its parent's knee Comes with its birthday offering happily ( So let me come, a loving, grateful son.

i Dunes Park Reservation | Attracts Wide Attention Indianapolis. Ind.. July 3 1 •’’l lai.)-With Governor Jackson * UM' ance that his admlr.Utration favors tho creation of a state park in famous Dunes bordering the shores of Ijike Michigan, and that he wis is this work expedited, th eeyes of the nation turned to Indiana which is preparing to set aside one of the most outstanding state reservations on this continent. The Dunes park reservation is to be national in scope as regards service and importance of preserving a scenic and botanical wonder Its ini portnnee is better realized when we >arn that In June ppblicatfbn the National State Parks' Association. John Barton Payne, of Washington, president of the American Red Cross, and park association chairman, writes of the Indiana project in part as fol lows: “Perhaps the most interesting state park development, as regards service to a large population, is the hasten Ipg of the establishment of the Indi ana Dunes Park, on the south end of Lake Michigan, through the interests of Governor Edward Jackson of Indiana, stimulated by Richard Lieber, director of the Hoard of Sonservation. Governor Jackson lias encouraged Mr. Lieber to start immediate acquisition, assuring him of continued financial support.” Everett L. Gardner, member of the conservation commission, is now in the Dune country, together with other members of the Dunes purchasing commission, and is making splendid headway toward acquiring the site tor this great reservation That the nation is aroused over the state park jnovement, which, in the language of Stephen T. Mather, direc tor of the National Parks' Association means “A State Park Every Hundred Miles," is evidenced in the unusual activity of many states herein the last year.
Mid west states have been particul larly active during the last twelve months in increasing ami improving their state park and forest areas. ( Quoting Mr. Mather, "Indiana is to add a park at Lake James, in its northeastern corner, Illinois is to create a new conservation commission with funds to acquire areas for forestry and recreation. In Ohio. State Forester, Edmund Secrest, is acquiring scenic areas in the south western section. Michigan continues to add. largely by gift, to its splendid state park system which totals BS miles, acreas. largest in number of any state. Recent notable additions are; Muskegon state park of 550 acres of short and dunes, more than half paid for by a fund raised by the Chamber I of Commerce, and a 2,000-acre tract,! formerly the hunting lodge of the Dodge Brothers, in the upper peninsula, acquired through Howard B. 1 Bloomer of Detroit. I Wisconsin has added new parks, | and is creating a great northern forest park of 98,000-acres out of state forest land, Minnesota state park administrators are planning to co-ordin-ate its extensive system, increased by recent gifts. lowa has added to her beautiful river gorge and lake parks. Southern states, following the lead of Texas, with its 51 gift parks, are likewise active. Florida's legislature has a bill for state park development North Carolina has created a department of conservation and deelopment with means for developing parks. Tennessee has created a state park and forest commission, and appropriated funds for state and national parks. Studies looking toward legislation for state parks and forests are -fiow under way in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. o—r . Fish with poisonous flesh are a r danger in the Phillipines.
