Indianapolis lias adopted a curfew law and lads and lassies under sixteen years of age must hike for home before nine o’clock in the evening. And its not such a bad rule even for a city (lie size of the capital. And these be dog days? Well, one would hardly realize it from a look at the thermometer the past few days. The weather is unseasonable and those of us who complained of the hot sun a couple of weeks ago are now croaking that its too cool. Perhaps we re just a little hard to satisfy. Howard Dennett, another lieutenant M D. C. Stephenson, the man who claimed to be the "power ' tn Indiana, is under arrest at Indianapolis because as a member of the state police fotce.be protected rum runners. Some organization that man Stephenson had, some bunch of officials to enforce the laws of the state. What will be the end? One good move toward economy bv the government would be to reduce the franking privilege and the public printing and mailing bill. Too many pieces of mail are carried free. A cold-blooded study of the situation could reduce the volume of free mail and the use of paper, ink, mechanical time and labor by a wide margin.— South Bend Tribune. \ During the month of June the state of Indiana this year collected 3785,338.52 for gasoline taxes as compared to 3325.858.52, the same moflith last year. Thai's going some for hard times and that’s some lax, no difference whether its paid at the county treasurer's office or at the filling stations. Unless we get excellent returns in the way of improved roads, there is going to be a big, loud yell one of these days. Directors of the new coast to coast highway proposed through here by the Findlay business men, will meet at Logansport, Indiana, next Monday evening to discuss plans for proceeding with their efforts. They act like, they mean business and there is more probabilities of success than on any line yet proposed. The people along the proposed route will await with interest the plans for continuing the work of securing more improved highways.

The nation ha lout an unusualy number of prominent figures during the past few months, men and women of great ability and who will be missed from the councils. Among those who have passed to their reward are Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter. Thomas It. Marshall, Senator Lafollette, Senator Ladd, William Jennings Bryan, Sen ator Lodge, Samuel (Jumpers and a number of others of more or less prominence. They were leaders in their work and the death of several ot them a 1 least v ill effect the future in various ways. The autocratic state tax board have again shown the people that what they demand, they collect. With stroke Gt the pen yesterday they Increased the taxes of thousands ot people tn the state.

Next year they will tpll you about their wonderful record, but don't forget they are making you pay for it. — The five per cent, increase in valuation of farm lands and improvements in Adams county, horizontally ordered by the state tax board yesterday, means a boost in the total valuation of tliis county of over a million dollars. The Adams county valuation as honestly assessed was about twenty million dollars and the five per cent, advance over that adds a cold million. Its easy to do so long as we permit I lie pow er to be vested in throe men al Indianapolis who scarcely know where Adams county is and who care less. The local authorities made every possible effort to equalize tlie values ami to make a return which would stand the test of the state hoard but, without avail and about all that is left is to grin and pay. Several cases of typhoid fever at Winona Lake last June resulted in asking the state board of health to investigate. They did so and for some reason or other seem to have taken plenty of time. Any way they come along now with the recommendation that arrangements be made to use the Warsaw water mains and find that due to the fact that the sewage system of Winona is inadequate and dangerous, the water

at the resort should not be used, it seems rather queer that so long a time should elapse before making such an announcement. The health of the people is far more important than any thing else and of course those in charge of beautiful Winona will Immediately see that a proper sewage system is installed. o —. — i Big Features Os ) RADIO \ Programs Today f SATURDAY'S RADIO FEATURES WEAK.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR CORN CROP Members Os Junior Corn Club Os County Make Report of Their M ork A summary of answers to a l<tt<t sent out recently from the county agent office to the members of the Adams County Corn club indicates Uiat prospects for a good corn crop this year are fine. A number of members. who reported, inclosed letters with their answers, which Indicates that, although the beginning of t i< season wax favorable, the corn in its present condition indicates an excellent crop will be grown. A few difficulties were encountered by dab members such as a late frost on the night of May 24, and recent storms. Hail has also caused some damage in the case of a few members. Some interesting information is contained in the summary relative to the ways the corn has been cared tor by various members. It is found that the average corn club member cultivated the corn 3.5 times. One boy who planted on April 21 reports that he cutivated his corn 7 times. Another boy cultivated his corn only/ twice. It will be gathered from the answers relative to the "stand that practically all seed corn was given a germination test. Each member was asked to make counts in five average rows on his acre and determine the number of stalks in the average 100 hills. The number of- stalks ranged from 109 to 400. The average number was 278. There are about 80 corn club members in the county. They are competing for trips to the Purdue Club Round-up to be held next May. and for various cash prizes which shall be given in addition. Grades on ten-car samples of corn selected from seed corn gathered from the acre and cost of production, along with the yield obtained, will enter into the final grade.
