They are booming Will Rogers, famous Follies humorist, for govenio. of Oklahoma, a smart thing to do, for they would thus secure a lot of free publicity and a durn good governor. Rogers has away of say ing things in a most amusing manner but If you dig under the surface just u mite, you always find a bushel of good sense. He would make a splendid executive. A dozen people drowned in northern Indiana lakes anil rivers the past couple of days. One little fellow lost his life in two and a half feet of water and the list of dead discloses that half the number were good swimmers. It’s a foolish thing to overexert in the water. You can.have just as much sport and derive more beuefit from bathing in a sensible manner tbau by trying to make records of swimming or diving, 7ou cant be ton careful at this sport aud ita <* good thing to teach the children. - - — According to W.

They found that wages in Enrobe arc about one-fourth to onethird those paid for similar work in this country while cost of living is' about fifty per cent. This is in Hue with reports from other sources and there is no doubt that living conditions in this country are far better on the average than in any other. Mr. Goll's report is a very interesting tine. The price of gasoline jumps onecent on the gallon today and is now practically twenty-five cents in Indiana. Just why is not explained. Os course three cents of it is for a tux which will, it is estimated, raise ten million dollars in the state and this money is supposed to be used on the roads. It we ean secure our proportion of that amount its perhaps alright. but it s a huge tax and to make it popular the state highway commission or whoever has charge of the expenditures, will have to show cal results. If we could have the same amout of money raised here by gas tax to use in Adams county, we feel sure we could build more roads and just as good. Any way we figure t. twenty-five tents a gallon for gas is a rather high price. o • I | Big Features Os ) RADIO I Programs Today / TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES < opyright 1925 by I'uited Press WJZ, New York. 454; WGY.

He plans to be a romant'c Russian. The actor believes he can endow the Russian lover with the same romant ic glamour which now surround* every handsome son of Italy or Spain because of the original Valentino in terpretation. The cameras are a ready grinding out the initial scenes of Valentino’s next production, which he trails” The Untamed". Rudy of course is the “un-tamed”,-pact of the picture. He is a Russian bandit, stealing everything from vodka to girl's hearts mostly the latter. He rid.es aauusomely on a fast horse, dances and makes love will, the same ardor tliat characterized, “The Sheik”. He does not wear whiskers and then arc no bolsheviks in the story as the action takes place before the Russian revolution. But he is a “sheik” at heart, and he plays it in a diabolI leal fashion, in a background of old Russia.
