Fourth of July comes next and its only a month off. By the way, the celebration here is to be one of the most interesting in the middle west. It was rather an old fashioned Decoration Day so far as the weather ' was concerned, with occasional showers, a hot sun and wound up with an all night rain. The number of serious accidents reported since Saturday are unusually ■Snail considering the double holiday and the fact that millions of cars mere in operation over the country. Can it be that we are 1 eally trying to be more careful? We wonder why memorials for expresidents are not converted into funds, the proceeds from which could be used to give poor boys and girls education instead of putting it in piles of marble which do no good except as meccas for tourists who are looking for sights. Frank Lockhart, a twenty-three year-old dare devil from Los Angeles, driving a Miller Special, won the 500-mile race at Indianapolis yesterday and incidentally, the $40,000 that | goes with the Honor. He was flagged' down at the end of 400 miles however because of a terrific rain and the race was stopped. Fancy gowns and hats worn by the society ladies were ruined and a number of people were injured in the rush for shelter when the clouds opened. Lockhart drove a wonderful race, stopping but once, to change tires and driving the four hundred miles without relief. The corner stone of an SBOO,OOO memorial to Warren G. Harding, former president, was placed Sunday afternoon at Marion, Ohio, with an elaborate program. Senator Frelinghuysen presided and addresses were made by Vice-President Dawes, Senator Willis, Senator Fess, Governor Do’nahey and others. It was a I notable event, attended by a large crowd and the ceremony was impressive. The memorial will be a very handsome one und attract world wide attention. Already more than a million visitors have registered at the Harding tomb. The democratic state convention will be held in Indianapolis tomorrow and next day and Adams county delegates are leaving this evening and early tomorrow’ to be on the job. The big contest is the selection ot a candidate to oppose James E. Watson for th ( > senatorial long term and this battle it is expected will produce some real thrills. The delegation from Adams county will probably support John E. Fredricks, of Kokomo, who received a plurality of more than seven hundred votes in the recent primary. The Adams county representatives will hold a meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss plans. —_■■■ Hl i 11 'B— Every few days the newspapers publish accounts of thefts which have been committed in cases of persons who withdraw’ sums of money from the banks, or use money they have kept in their homes for payments on property or other transactions. A bank check eliminates all possibility of loss of money in making payments. Bankers are particular to know that persons present'ing checks for payisest are entitled . to the money, and even it a check is

Bunks require identification before making, payment on checks, and the writer of the check can immediately stop payment on it If it is stolen. Persons who keep money in considerable amounts in the home do so at their

own risk. Would-be thieves have means ot securing information which B may not be suspected by the person L who keeps money in his home, or they • may even take a chance of finding currency hidden about the house, the resulting loss is the same. There r Is no reason why any individual - should draw currency from the bank i when a check will complete a financial transaction; neither is there any excuse for a person who receives • money undertaking to be his own ’ banker. > Almost any person of normal mind . is quick to appreciate the "Value of > dressing for comfort as the temperature rises, but not every one is wise enough to change his habits of eating to conform to the principles of ' health established by medical science after much study and investigation. , In the summer months it is the part j of good sense to ignore even the ini junction of the federal agricultural department to “eat more meat in order to help the stock raisers, and it will be found that persons who are moderate in the use of meat, practically eliminating it from the ration , in summer, will find it easier to maintain a condition of health. Any other I at tides of food w hich are found to overwork the vital organs or bring distress in any way should be readily discovered by the adult, even without the advice of a physician, and such foods may be abandoned to the advantage of better heath. Foods which are promptly assimilated in the winter months become harmful in the summer. Nobody likes to have the charge applied to himself, of course, but it will probably be found that excesses in eating are at the foundation of more physical ills than almost any other cause. The dangers from over-eating are multiplied in the days between June 20 and September 20. <»♦♦•*•*«*•***** * Big Features Os * • RADIO • TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright. 1926.
