Many a good flivver gets cussed by someone, usually because he doesn't understand it and the same thing is true of people. You can't sit on your hands and grasp an opportunity and the opportunity is no good if you stand still too long after you do get hold of it. Remember that we all agreed a few weeks ago to keep the town cleaned during the whole year. I«ets not forget that good resolution and to keep it we have to do a little each week. The democrats are in session today and tomorrow and the rank and file at home are hoping they will use good judgment, nominate a strong, ticket on a platform, short and understandable and returns determined to make a battle next November that twill mean relief for a burdened people. They have a splendid opportunity to win and after that to reach the hearts of the people by a clean and fair government. We hope the politicians dow n at; Washington will stop playing politics long enough to pass the Haugen stabilization bill which will assure a return of prosperity to the farmers. Much of the talk that it would be unsafe government is bunk pure and simple. Any thing which will make the country enjoy healthy prosperity and cause our people to be happy is safe, not only safe but sane and J “durn” good judgment. A quarter million autos were stolen in the U. S. last year. Auto stealing has become a profession, but Senator Capper has a measure he believes will make it much less common. It requires every person selling a car to furnish a title to the purchaser as is done in selling real estate. A! similar bill has been introduced in the house by Representative Little of Kansas.—Mid-West Review. The law- is very similar to that of Indiana. E. B. Williamson is working hard to put on a Fourth of July celebration, an old-fashioned one to which. you can bring the whole family and I know that you are going to have a good time, with a big program day and night, thrillers and speeches and entertainment and fire works and he is deserving of the support of the people. You can have the biggest event here you will find any where. Lets all plan to stay home this year and have the folks come and enjoy the great patriotic holiday. , If any of our skilled mechanics are finding the season a little dull and want a “real” job they might "take Notice of a ‘notice’ ” in this issue of the paper. All that will b e necessary is to set down and write a letter to the supervising architect of the treasury at Washington, saying,‘please sir. I want to bid on the job you have in this fair city of Bluffton.’ He may, or may not, want to know the color of the hair, eyes, just what ticket the applicant might vote—under pressure. Then, if fully satisfied the applicant is a fit person, he will mail back a set of specifications, with questions galore and dimensioflt on an even larger scale. Then all you need do is to send in the bid and 10, and behold. you may get a contract for making two screen doors for the Bluffton posteffiee.

With the approach of the summer camping and vacation season, it is timely that health officials are issuing warning regarding the danger which may be met in the use of water for drinking and cooking purposes, which is found in springs or streams, in camps or other places. Frequent tests of drinking water in cities and towns where water systems are maintained have practically eliminated any danger of typhoid fever from this source, but this can not be said of the water that is commonly found in camping places, especially if these places are used infrequently, and care has not been taken to examine the water supply. Water found in summer camps may be clear as crystal, yet it may contain germs which may have serious effects upon the person drinking it. Springs which appear to have their origin in safe places may be infected with germs from a source that is not easily discovered. It is wise not to take chances on contracting dangerous diseases when the exercises of judgment in keeping with medical knowledge may save lives, or at least avoid serious illness.

D'Arcy Ryan, director of the Illuminating Engineering labratory of the General Electric Company. This recent demonstration was the first public showing of the new headlight, on which Mr. Ryan and his engineers have been studying and experimenting for more than three years. The new lights were demonstrated first in the searchlight in the laboratory, in comparison with many other types of lights, and later practical tests were made on city streets and country highways. I These tests showed that the new lights not only illuminated the roadway exceptionally well for a distance of more than 200 feet, but lit the ditches on either side of the road so that persons in the auto could casilp read road signs even when the front of the car had already passed them several feet. This backward illumination is one of the new .features of this type of light. In* rounding curves, particularly sharp i turns, this wide side beam proved valuable in keeping a view of the ditch constantly before the driver. Both in the laboratory and in road tests, demonstrations were made to show that these new lights would not cast a blinging glar. Visiting
