Chicago Driving an automobile while intoxicated is one of the most serious crimes we know of and should be punishable by fine, imprisonment, confiscation of the car, a bar from driving again and what ever else is necessary to break up a practice which places every body on the road in danger. Tlte summer weather continues unabated but with an occasional cool whiff from the north. Its fine while it lasts but should not prevent you from making preparations for the severe winter which has been promised. The state highway commission is sending out notices that they have absolutely nothing to do with map schemes now prevalent over the state. The map published in this paper re cently is all authentic one as are all I those which are published over the signature of the state commission but all others are frauds and fakes, originated for the purpose of procuring money from the merchant or the traveling public through misrepresentation. The Northern Indiana Fair comes I next week and if the weather" is right as the signs indicate, you will see one of the best agricultural ex positions ever given here, according to the advance statement of the secretary and manager. The program is a complete one and every part of the fair is as near ready as is possible at this time. From now on the park will be a busy place and one week from today the grounds will be a lively, active tented city with a thousand attractions for you. Make your plans to be thereLabor Day is over with its picnics, reunions lake trips and excursions and most every body is back on the job. The occasion marks the wind-up of summer vacations and the resump tion of school, court and business activities generally. The occasion in this section was a very happy one with no accidents of unusual severity. The next event of public interest here is the Northern Indiana fair which opens a week from today and which promises to be a real affair of enjoyment. Colonel Billy Mitchell, reputed to be the smartest aviator in the American service, who was an ace during the World War and who knows what he talks about when he criticizes the army and navy and declares the Shenandoah wreck was plain murder, is to be court martialed and discharged if he doesn’t shut up, which he won't do. He is going through with it because his martyrdom will be of benefit to the service and will force the government to do some things he claims should have been done along ago. President Coolidge is trying to put the soft pedal on his remarks but. isn’t getting any where and the investigation promises to be as interesting as were those "takes" which followed the war. School days are here and several thousand boys and girls- began the year of educational training this morning. Unlike the times of a decade or two ago the average youngster does not dread the opening of school for instead of drudgery, dull care and

of Adams county. The faculty will do whatever they can that the chil- • dren may profit from the years work. • Its up to the boys and girls and their j J parents to get from their lessons ,' every possible benefit and every thought which will aid them in the business life of th- after while. Thousands of dead fish are floating on the waters of the St. Marys in Fort Wayne according to the newspapers of that city and meetings of citizens hav e been called to ascertain the cause. Os course we folks down this way who have felt the Injustice of previous claims that similar happenings were caused by the retuse from the Decatur Sugar plant, can’t help smiling, for this to some extent at least, justifies our claims. Because of the insistence of the people of Fort Wayne the local company has been forced to expend hundreds of thousands of dollars and are now building a reservoir through which all the refuse water will be filtered. It looks as though the State Conservation department and those of Fort Wayne who have been strenously objecting to the sugir factorys use of the river, may now turn their attention elsewhere. ♦ • I ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat file ♦ ♦ Twenty years aflo thl* day • ♦ • Little Marie Gass celebrated a birthday with a party last evening.

the DIFFICULTY OF GE (To Billy Professor William Lyon Phelps, philosopher and friend. This summer day these simple lines of lasting loye are penned ! How curiously run the years, how strangely flows life’s tide. That I ehetyid come with praise and blame, nor can the two divide; I blame you for the charms I praise. 'Tis all your fault. I say. That I who had much work to do ' played truant yesterday. If you were other than you are or I lived not where you do. Or if it were not such joy to share ’ a day with you, Or if you frowned as many frown, or j sneered as many sneer And had no reverence in your heart ’ for things which men revere, 1 could remain at work unmoved and 1 plod my tedious way. But just to be with you awhile the ’ vagabond 1 play.

Billy Phelps. I set it down in lasting black and white 'Tis all your fault that I am here and working late tonight. So for the very things I praise in you I also blame. Yours is the fault if time shall bring to me a shiftless name; And if at last in failure I my poor career shall end The throng may donbt me when I say; ”1 had too good a friend! His fault was that he was so fine, so gentle, and so true. That just to be with him I shirked the tasks I had to do.”
