American exports increased last year but chiefly because the new business came from oils, typewriters, automobiles and safety razor blades. The only difficulty with this is that these products don't grow very prolifically on the average Indiana farm and thats where we are short • The warm shower this morning was worth a good many thousand dollars M is claimed by those better qualified to speak on such problems than we are. The crops need warm rains at this season and the best proof is in the beautiful green color of the grass as compared to a few days ago. A farm relief law withouj a minimum price for the surplus grains will not benefit the average man. Unless 1 the farmer can sell his product at a prefit, he will get no where whether ' the government or some other agency . buys his goods at a loss. The joker ' in the bill now in congress will probably be a loop hole of that kind, unless it is closely watched. The legal notice to thq public that ' the city will ask the county com- ' missiouers to convey the old cemetery v to the city that it may b e converted into a park and beautified, is now on fife, the first official step towards an improvement much desired and long discussed. There should be no delay in any of the steps necessary for ‘ this work. With the park completed, 1 that section will present a much bet- 1 ter appearance within a year. • Bud Taylor, a Terre Haute light- I height boxer whipped a Filipino youth , I to death in a ring at Milwaukee the | i other evening. This is the second | time in his short career that the! ! “Terrier" as he is known in fistic circles has killed his opponent with' his fists. Suppose it was a boxing ( ' contest and the result of course acci-, * dental. We must have our sport in J this country and though we abhor , bull fighting in Spain 4tnd Mexico, we jan't stop because of a few objections to incidents of this kind. E. S. Shumaker, E. A. Miles and J. L. Martin of the anti-saloon forces ! have been cited to appear before the < Supreme court and show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court for slandering that judicial body. The action is taken at request of Attorney General Gilliom who takes the position that no difference what the cause, the right is not given to undermine the courts. The men must appear on May 11th to present their defense. The mediocro automobile driver | must save the traffic situation in our large cities today. The inferior and | the perfect drivers are causing all the idifficulties and are responsible for accidents and traffic tieups. It is not difficult to understand how the inferior driver causes accidents to his own and other machines, but the ’‘perfect” driver appears too perfect| to be blamed. The “perfect” driver never gets into an accident himself. He never violates a traffic rule. He nevyr gives vociferous traffic cops a chance to enjoy themselves at his expense. The “perfect” driver careens down the street just to and not exceeding the maximum traffic speed limit. Pedestrians see him a block away, and even if they have the right-of-way they hesitate to cioss the street as the "perfect” driver speeds

toward the crossing, However, he makes a “perfect’’ stop just to and not beyond the danger line, breaking no traffic laws, but frightening pedestrians so that they tear to cross the street while they have a chance. The “perfect” driver turns around corners with amazing accuracy and disagreeableness. He winds in and out of traffic with a skill that drives other motorists frantic. He is always immediately behind some automobile, honking for them to speed up or get out of the way and passing them at the most Inopportune moment. The "perfect” driver is always right. He is so absolutely and recklessly right that other drivers and pedestrians fear him. He is the most disrupting element in the traffic situation. It is the drivers who are not quite perfect and know it, who are mediocre and therefore careful who keep traffic moving in a steady and orderly line.—Lafayette Courier-Jour-nal. With only ten days left to finish the primary campaign, the candidates are working faster each day. With contests on in each township and county, a large vote is expected to be polled and the candidates for United States senator will thus have more vpies to divide. Interest in the candidates for that office is overshadowed here because of the local contests and for the further reason that no campaigning has been done in this county by the candidates except by mail. 'lt will soon be over and ‘the winners and losers will be glad to know their fates. hi this county so far as we have learned, it has been a clean and fair campaign and it should so continue, with the idea of aiding your party in winning the November eletcion. o - - 17 5.

Hey, little Miss Three, Climb up on my knee And i ll tell you the tale Os the Skillamaree; The skillamaree. With a horn for a nose. Which frightens the children Whenever he blows. Now up in a tree Just as gay as could be, Lived «t bird that was sought By the skillamaree; To catch him he tried Every' way that he knew. For he thought he would taste Very nice in a stew. , Now all the day long The bird warbled his song Not dreaming of evit Or thinking of wrong;

Experiment Verifies Wave Theory Os Light I Bloomington, Ind., April 22. — | (United Press)—Experiments which j arc regarded as a complete verifies- i tion of the wave theory of light have , been carried out in the Indiana Uni- . versity physics laboratory by ProsesI sor M. E. Hufford. I A photographic image was produc- | ed by causing light to diffract around | a two inch steel ball and a photo- I I graph wffs made by substituting for | the lens of a photographic system a , steel sphere. i These experiments were hailed by I physicists as complete verification I of the wave theory of light.
