ELEPHANT ROCK ATTRACTS NOTICE: — When the two federal highways through this city have been completed and thousands of tourists are annually motoring through, one of the 1 points of greatest interest will be the . memorial erected to the late Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter and when the tablet has been placed thereon, the base covered with a lawn of green sod and hardy shrubs complete the landscaping it will' b e a most attractive and fitting monument. We are proud of it and we are sure every one will point out to visitors this spot of ( beauty which so splendidly complies ( with the wishes of she who lived , with nature and so wrote about it , that the world listened. , The following editorial appeared in ] the Port Wayne News-Sentinel Saturday evening: "'Upon a huge boulder in the yard , of the court house of Adams county } at Decatur, Indiana, a beautiful tablet has been placed in honor of Gene j Stratton Porter, beloved Indiana auth- ( or. ( "Mrs. Porter went to Decatur as a bride and there her one child was born. Later she moved to Geneva, Indiana, where in the environment of , the storied ‘Limberlost’ she found inspiration for the books which were ( destined permanently to enshrine her in the hearts of millions of readers. ? "Typical of the personality of the author, a personality of as simple gradueur as the great Mother she loved to write about, is the remark i she is said to have made to her hus- I band one day as they sat upon the i porch of their 'Limberlost Cabin North.' Breaking a silence Mrs. Porter said 'Daddy, I should like to be buried under that tree out there Wiiii ' I want, no maus< ,aum.' "It is fitting that Decatur erect this | memorial to Mrs. Porter, whose passing made the world poorer, though still enriched by the memories of her 1 all-inclusive sympathy and understanding heart.” A man attested for speeding came into the office the other day and wanted his name kept out of the paper. His request was not granted, because he is known as a professional speedster, says the Lake County Tiines. If the speed maniacs endangered only their own machines and their own lives, there wouldn't be anything to wotry about. Perhaps the world would be better off and safer if they would wreck their machines and kill themselves. But the man who goes tearing through a city street at forty-five and fifty miles an hour is a menace to others. Other automobiles are not safe on the same street; pedestrians are not safe on sidewalks or at crossings. The speed fiend is one of the most dangerohs of criminals, for he is nothing but a criminal. His criminality lies in his 'indifference to the safety of others. Officers of the law do well to hunt him down, and judges upon the bench are recreant to their duty to the public when they Jo not- impose the full penalty of the law upon him. The speed maniac is not to be shown any mercy, at any time, by anybody. That is why he talks to deaf ears when he goes to the newspaper office and asks that his name be kept

lout of print after he has been arrestI'ed. its up to Canton, Ohio to erase the idea that the thugs and bandits and underworld are tn control of the city. News stories from that fair city, the home of the late martyr president. William McKinley, Indicate that Don Mellett was killed by those who did not favor his campaign to clean up the community atul that now even | the police are afraid to hunt down the murderers for fear they will be made victims. James M. Cox is the owner of.the Daily News and It we know hint and his make up ami we think Wg do, that city is in for an awakening that will give the public an entirely different idea. A dozen or more new members to the Benjamin Franklin Highway Associatipn were secured Saturday afternoon and evening and the splendid response to this movement is more than appreciated by the officials of the organization and by all who are interested. There is no desire to get a penny that is not needed to put over this important project, not a dollar is to be made by any one, no “salaries are paid, its a patriotic effort to put this community on this great federal route. Won't you take out a one dollar membership? Believe it was Mr. Taft who said that a revision of the tariff did not necessarily mean a revision down ward, but the .people replied by defeating him in such a decided vote that we would think that even Mr Coolidge and Mr. Mellon would under stand that the folks believe in a certain amount of tariff but that “too much is plenty.” There is a great difference between a tariff for revenue and protection and one for price fixing by those who do not need it except for greater profits from the farmers and the rest of us. That's to be the political issue this*year and in 1928, so get ready for it. Yes sir, this'is just the kind of weather you ordered and its tine lor the corn and beets and all the rest of us. Remember that up to now the summer resorts have been suffering flor business.

They left me home to mind her. and I smiled as such a task, , To mind a lovely three-year-old's a job that 1 should ask. ‘Thought I: "1 11 let her romp about, and sit beneath a tree And smoke my pipe ami real a book, as happy as can be.” And now the day is over, and at last she's safe in bed. But. oh, my feet are weary by the strenuous pace she led!

July 19—(United Press) - Since the main business of the Summer frock is to be colorful we offer a few new colors suggestions. Black, navy and dark shades are almost disappearing as warm weather creeps on Pastel shades rule tor play and evening weaj. Claret- and wine shades are the newest to appear in smart Fifth Avenue shop windows. One can hardly describe the new wine shade since it has a rose hue that is indescribable in it’s loveliness. Satin dresses of this shadi and felt on velour hats are conspicious in the better class shops. Light blue is one of the most popular evening colors worn* by broadway actresses. At a recent benefit at least one-fourth of the performers wore various shades of pastel blue chiffon, tulle or silk crepe. •Slate blue is the shade Paris is effecting at present. This is a soft slate blue color which will be very becoming to wearers'of duller blue tones. Yellow is popular in New York, particularly in a shade called ‘sunni’. it ts chosen for sports as well as evening wear. Some of the newer hats of felt or straw come in this shade. Green may be said to lead above all other colors for sports wear and the most popular shades are bottle, almond, grass and chartreuse. Colored fur and brushed wool form the collars of many sports coats. For instance, a bluish grefin woolen coat has a collar of matching green brushed wool. An evening cape of orchid clyfL
