Have a good time over the Fourth Int don't take chances. You can be just as patriotic and at the same time be careful. Each year at this : eason there are a lot of serious accidents in which we pay by injuries or by fires. 7he bang of fire crackers has started ami you can het it will continue until midnight of next Monday. , It worries a lot of people but you just can t keep the boys, old and | voting, from making a little noise at ( this period of the year and really we ; don't believe you want to. I j Mr. Parker, who will deliver the address at Bellmont park on the Fouith is one of the brilliant orators t til northern Indiana and you will i t.gree with that statement after you i hear him. Don't miss the big cale- | brat ion on next Monday if you care i for such event*.

Looks as though congress will adjourn Saturday evening, it having been divided by the administration, to lake a chance on the election from a position in opposition to farm relief. Alright lets go. The republicans have succeeded in popularizing some things but we doubt if they are smooth enough to put this one over. We have been asked confidentially by several people whether the Country Club membership list will actually ■lose and to these we can but reply .rat the statement has been made both by Mr. Schafer, chairman of the Membership committee and by Mr. first membership meeting is held next week. Join now if you want in. Parking along the roads which lead past Bellmont park will be prohibited Sunday and Monday during the celebration of the Fourth. Charles MagIcy, road superintendent, lias issued an order and will insist upon its being carried out. Signs will be posted along the road and those who park there will be taking chances. This is right because of the danger to other travelers along the road and the order may save serious wrecks.

The Schafer company, one of the . üb:-:iantial and giowing business concerns of this community banqueted last evening, a part of the program of Hie week which is being devoted t<> a gtmeial conference of all those interested, including the twenty salesmen. At this time a new, up-to-the-iiiinute catalogue, built, at great, expense but providing convenient and necessary information is being ex plained and distributed and the company will start a vigorous campaign for ibcreased butdifess and continued growth. - Indiana paid off Its state debt Wednesday, amounting to two and a half million. When Governor Ralston left the governor's chair, Indiana was out. or debt, but the administrations of Goodrich and McCray, ran the state Into debt again. The Jackson .idministratiou promulgated legislation that diverted all direct levies and in-

herltance taxes formerly spent on roads to the elimination of the state debt and created special gasoline and license taxes on automobiles which are taking care Os highway needs. In other words, with approximately 111. 000,000 spent by Governor Ralston the last year of his administration. Indiana 's now spending $45,000,000 per year. —Columbia City Post. Consumption of gasoline during the first four months of fills year exceeded that of any similar period—more than 20 per cent greater than first quarter consumption last year. Surplus stocks have been greatly reduc ed. and an unusually heavy summer demand is expected. A slight Increase in price of crude oil and gaso line has resulted from these unsurpassed demands, and the Senate has directed the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the situation, alleging price-fixing methods. This may result in much testimony being taken during the summer, but the industry appears to have become accus tomed to these investigations, as they have been in almost continuous pro gross since the close of the war. They all cost the taxpayers money, but they furnish campaign material and jobs for public employees. In addressing the National Association of Real Estate Boards in Washington the other day. President Coolidge commended the realtors’ profession for its leadership of the better housing and better homes movement. He went on: “The ownership of a home, the feeling of independence that comes with possession of a bit of the earth, are among the most powerful incentive to high civic interest and usefulness." The President stated an elemental truth. The stability of America is founded on the wide diffusion of home ownership strongly supported by the aspirations of those other millions who are earnestly striving to take their places in the ranks of homeowners. A sound conception of what it means to possess a piece of land with a house in which to live makes for substan Hal citizenship more surely than anything else save fulfillment of the honorable desire to own a home. —Chi- ... . ... ...... ... ■-

New Automatic Loom Ber'.iu, July 1— (United Press) - I The mechanical loom, which unleashed the industrial revolution when it replaced the spinning jenny eighty l years ago, is now itself to be scrapped if a new invention lives up to expectations. An automatic loom, according to reports from Munich, is soon to be thrown on.the markets and promises to spell the end of the mechanical weaving apparatus. The latest invention dispenses with the weaver's shuttle. The thread, needed for the single day’s weaving. is held by four spools, which automatically unreavel into the w'rap and woof of the new-bbrn cloth. Tho entire mechanism, made of iron, weighs about 250 lbs . and is equally Suitable for weaving cotton, woll, pute, liner, flax and silk. Among the advantages of this machine are its capacity for working day and night.- the safeguarding of the threads, the minimum requirements for energy, protection against accidents and the lack of necessity for laborers. Even unskilled workesr can manipulate the appliance, which has just, been installed in several large German industries. , —o——— Uncle Sam Gives Advice To Housewives Washington. D.

July 1. —No traces of European corn borer were found by Glenn K. Rule, county agent, when he made an investigation yesterday afternoon in tlic vicinity of Ohio City, where it was feared tile dreaded menace was active. Rule reported that the creature which caused fears in that community js the ordinary striped stalk borer, which was Investigated in this county last summer. He also said it is too early in the season for the European boter so be found. Although the striped borer causes some damage it is not nearly so destructive as the European borer. Rule said. He added that the striped borer is responsible for destruction of sweet corn in the city of Van Wert last summer. The pests’ activity there was attributed to the many fence rows in which it makes headQuarters. Rule said the striped jorer conies out of grass along fences when it body becomes too large for the grass stalks. It then goes to corn, oats or whatever stalks happen to be handy. Th e same bo:er has been found in oats this summer. — If you are afflicted with the Rout or a grouch, take a hike, for the big Bellmont Park, 4th It. celebration. Monday, July sth, Dcatur, Ind.

l Antl-Tetonie I Will Prevent U<*)«» If Secured At Once — 1 Uy Richard H Street. Ml> I Member of Crorgus Memorial Institute (Written for the United Press) Chicago. June S» -(United Pres. -Fourth of July, lockjaw and death. I How on»n the three <xsur in the ’.ame sentence in 'he ncv.spaVers describing a sad aftermath of this . ' summer celebration. Net only it Is a sad for a person to die of lockjaw, but It Is sad to realize that death could have been prevented had a pbysieian heen consulted In time Despite the campaign for a sane and safe Fourth, the holiday brings in Rs train of a cldental gun shot wounds and wounds caused by the explosions of cannon crackers which ■ mieone supposed had gone out. So beware on the Fourth of July. Beware that you do not injure yourself or your neighbor. And, if the unexpected does happen, as often it dues on the Fourth of July, take no chances with this horrible way of passing over the great divide. Report immediately to your family doctor f>; the antl-tetanic serum, or “shots" which will prevent the oceurence of loilifaw. The germ of lockjaw, known as teltanus bacilli, are found in the soil, almot everywhere. That's why it is so easy for these germs to enter your body should it be torn by < vio'ent explosion. People whose duties require their presence in the country, most of the tinie, arc susceptible to the disease after injury because Hie germs are so widely distributed. This is true i especially Cf farmers who like soldiers • in front line trenches, are confronted with the chance cf acquiring the disease easily. But scientific medicine has found a meaans of protecting you from death by lockjaw. It has produced a serum which counteracts the poison, which the tetanuc germs causes to be produced within the body. Twitching of the muscles may be the nearest ap- ! proach to lockjaw upon administration of the protective serum. Otherwise there would be. in the beginning, ejamps in the muscles of the neck and difficulty in moving the
