An enterprising town on the Dixie highway displays this sign near a | railroad crossing: ‘‘Stop. And let the train go by it hardly takes a minute; , yen) COT starts not again, intact, and 1 < liettrn still- you're in it.” , < There are alee cases of typhoid J fever at the state penal farm. Thb , way to avoid taking any chances of picking up the germ is to stay away , from there and the way to do that 1 is not violate the law. The water is ‘ now being examined but if it takes as long to get results as it did at Winona, a lot of prisoners will have t a hard time of it. «. ■ t It is estimated that the *2,300.000 bequeathed to Depauw by Edward ' Rector, Chicago lawyer who died two weeks ago, will be reduced by more x than a million dollars which under the law, must go for Inheritance tax. I in Indiana and Illinois. This is an 1 other of the burdens of taxation, wrong in many ways and we presume . that the officials of Depauw will recog ( nize that fact now along with a lot of others who have suffered. Nathan Douohy. Darien, Connecticut. 1 ninety-one years old. hale nd hearty and cheerful, still seeking pleasure, 1 declares ‘we're getting too darn mor- ( al.” Ho says he has been a whiskey , drinker and a tobacco user all his i life and gives that as the reason for his I'vttr score and eleven years. The only trouble with his argument is that several million others who tried , the same plan didn't make the grade. ( We agree w ith him that you can't be happy dodging pleasure. You can l however have ' a good time without * getting “soused” every day. Frank Scott, a congressman from . Michigan and his wife Edna, engaged in a sensational divorce suit at Al- 1 pena, Michigan, are spilling the 1 "beans,” their evidence showing some insides of the life in Washington. Scott says his wife was indiscreet w ith dhe hotel night clerk and others who came to their rooms at night and \ kissed her. Edna says Scott is a 0 booze fighter and a"gambler and about | everything but a statesman. Its no g wonder that laws are not enforced c vhen those who make them laugh at law violations. c 1 We deplore crime and we promise dire punishment to those who murder x and rob and frighten and then we j turn squarely about and favor paroles i and pardons and reprieves. The 1 Omaha Bee thus states it in sensible language: "This excess of sob stuff, this maudlin sympathy tor murderers, this hysterical effort to save them from t the penalty due their crimes, is re- 1 sponsible in great measure for the 1 awful increase in homicides. What 1 \ this country needs right now is more ( thought for men and women who lead | honest and upright lives; more sympathy for men and women who over- < come and less sympathy for criminals. ! The next month will be a busy . period for those back of the great Adams county fair to open here September 15th. A publicity campaign covering the entire territory for fifty miles around here will be made and there will be few who won’t know all

Mr. Williamson says so and we have been told that by every man whom we ever met who has tried it. There are a million and a half things to look after and they all come at about the big program planned fur 1525 fair one that you will be proud of and that will be remembered as ian example during the next decade of years.

WHEN WE PLAYED SHOW

It used to cost a penny in that dear departed time r When I was once a little boy. and ‘now they charge a dime. We used to let the children in for pins to see our play, And now the tiniest little tot in cash is asked to pay. But otherwise, it seems to me, old friends of long ago, They do the things we used to do when we played show. The younsters here at Pointe Aux Barques, as lovely girls and boys As ever cared for little dolls or begged their dads for toys Have (lately entertained us with some clever vaudeville, Seven acts surpassing anything the Shuberts find to bill, And speaking as a critic now I'd say wiith pride aglow-, The acting was as good as ours when we played show.

L, Everett and daughters, Marion and Betty and Mary Jane Sunier, of Bluffton, are the guests of their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Burroughs, over the week-end.

For days before this glad event, our cottages seemed bare, Some missed the blankets from their beds, some missed a rocking chair. A screen was pilfered from oiir room. I faced a sorrier plight I missed the flannel trousers I had planned to wear (hat night. And then 1 tumbled to the cause, a fact I ought to know. We also took a lot of stuff, when we played show. Then came the great performance and one mother said to me: ’’Our blankets are the curtains here. I very plainly see.” And when a youthful star appeared, I said, “Well, I declare! There are the flannel trousers I have searched for everywhere.” Those boys made sixteen dollars from their one performance, though. Which shows what amateurs we were when we played show. ,
