Obey the stop signals and observt • the through streets, it will save you much trouble, arrest, perhaps at accident. The best way to avoid illness at this season of the year is to by careful about what you eat. We can't change the weather but we can control to a large extent the effect it has on our bodies. Indianapolis out after the demo cratic national convention for 1928 realizing it will be a real one and of great business advantage. And they are not alone for Albany, New York wants it. It costs the people of America t lot of money to operate and pay the expenses of the government of thi District of Columbia. Congress ha*, apptopriated more than thirty-three million dollars for the current year Thats an increase of several millions. Arthur M Evans, writer of nationa fame and political expert, says tin middle west is afire as a result ot the failure of congress to. provide an; remedy tor the farmer and he l«e diets that it will carry over to 192S' with a split as serious for the republican party as was that of 1912 The fight at this time is particularly noticeable in lowa, Nebraska, th* Dakotas. Wisconsin and Minnegot: and is reaching to Indiana. Ohio Illinois and other states. The com ing campaign promises to be as warn as was that of the Bull Moose days Street car men at Indianapolis ar< working up an old fashioned strike Jn sympathy with the New York cat men and though it has been on only a tew days, violence is reported. Cars and busses have been stoned, wires cut and other acts which tend to wards anarchy have been reported It seems foolish and there is surely some way for the men and their em ployes to avoid these calamities which endanger life and property and seriously inconvenience the public. Youth in Indiana has won anothei honor, Collier Young, of Indianapolis having been chosen, at the Philadel phia sesquicentennial exposition, athe most representative boy of the nation. Mias Elizabeth Flett, ot Rochester. Ind., a school teacher whe accompanied Young and Miss Sher wood on their eastern trip, was selected as one of the three prettiest girls at the exposition. That is not surprising as most Hoosier school teachers can qualify in a beauty show and when th e state association meets in Indianapolis every autumn the dis play of feminine pulchritude is worth seeing— Indianapolis News.

The city administration is to be congratulated on their plans for another progressive move, that of providing free parking space for automobiles. Arrangements are now being made towards securing two or three vacant lots which will be mark ed, lighted and policed and where those so desiring may park their cars while in the city. It will prove not only a great convenience but will aidi in solving the ever increasng prob-, Jem of taking care of traffic. Always. 6n Saturday night and often at other times the traffic down town becomes so congested that travel is slowed up and there is great danger lot' 1

autoisls and pedestrians. The parking space Idea will advertise the city and prove a splendid stop. Much interest was manifested in he first meeting of the members of the Decatur Country Club held at the* Industrial rooms last evening. The board of governors were elected and will assume their duties at once. Mr. Telford is to call a meeting soon xt which time the organization will b e completed by the election of officers and the appointment of conimittPes for the various activities Plans will be announced as soon as tossible and a general meeting will probably be held for the purpose of idoptiug bylaws and rules. The >oard of governors will have a big work to perform and can only do it successfully with the assistance of ill the members who will be asked •to aid. Another fight has broken out tn Chicago—the city, it will be remembred, which asked the federal govrument for aid in quelling gang wars. The news dispatches tell of his quarrel in pithy form: ten men fight ten minutes for ten cents; ten policemen arrest eight, four are sent o the hospital and four to jail, but no one knows who got the ten cents. When a thin dime will create such a scene as this It is certainly time for ntervention of some kind. The police patrol responding to the riot all used more than ten cents’ worth of gasoline and the hospital care for he four combatants will aggregate a rood deal more than a total of two nickels. And besides that the fines 'or all of the men engaged In the brawl will run into a good many imes ten cents.

Husband’s Effort To Teach Wife Lesson Costs Him A Fine Vienna, July 7.—(United Presx)Betrgylag ona's wife is costly even when done to stop her tongue, according to the experience of an Austrian who has just returned to Vienna from a vacation in Italy. During their vacation days the Austrian's wife begged him daily to buy her some silks and linens in Italy because of the low prices. She insited that she could easily smuggle them past the Austrian customs. But he continued obdurate. On the return trip home (he customs official merely raised the lid of the trunks. He touched nothing. A smile of innocence from the woman banished from his mind all ideas of prying into her luggage. When the official was gone the woman began to upbraid her husband for his stupidity in not Jetting her make purchases in Italy. In order, as he thought, to teach his wife a lesson, the man went secretly to the official and bribed him to return again to the compartment of "the blonde lady" and
