If you own a vacant building and the windows are filled with circus bills and the date is in the past, take them down. It looks like we were asleep an.l no one Is attracted by a drowsy community. Senator Watson intended to take a month's rest but he finds there is too “■ much action in Indiana and so he is filling a few dates getting in trim tor the battle of ballots that he is wise enough to see is assured. Jim will have the scrap of his life next November. - ■ Quite a number have told us that they will take off their coats and work for a corn and dairy show as proposed to be held here in October. It can be made a real event, one that will be talked about for years to tome if enough people will assist in putting it over as it ought to be. Will you? If we can secure another hundred « members to the Benjamin Franklin Highway Association we will have done something worth while and we will be able to meet all the expenses of placing this county on the map of this .great eoast to coast route. If you haven't joined, do it at once and help prove that this is the best county of the middle west. While the thermometer was registering from 90 to 112 degrees in almost every section of the country a game commissioner in Minnesota claims to have found a locality where snow was falling and the weather was of freezing temperature. That must be some "moonshine" they have up in that country. . . — .... . . >'at ~L r v•nfa'■ : dulled because along with it comes the announcement of continued lean times for the farmers. We insist that not until those who produce the crops are given a profit will we have good times worth talking about and planning on, and we're for whatever is necessary to produce that condition. A dollar will buy twelve dollars worth of French francs just now and we are expecting to soon be able to trade even the million Russian half dollars we bought a few years ago for forty dollars, for a trunk full of the French money. No nation can afford to permit her credit to slip and France is paying dearly for her poor statesmanship. There is a thrill in driving a car at a greater speed than the law permits. but after all its foolish for v lien something happens it's often too lale to remedy the damages. Thirty-fiv e miles an hour is permitted In this state and that will usually get y-m where you are going in plenty.' 1 of time. Perhaps this speed we are traveling these days is too fast in I c iy way and the best thing for all < . Uo to do is to slow down a little. uuu .'U— rj.'i_L»‘.r We have heard considerable talk . nd several complaints have reached ' us concerning young children driving cats, it being pointed out that boys, and giris who are from ten to tour-' teen or fifteen years old are piloting automobiles. Os course its a violation of law and If some accident occurs it may result seriously. Why ke such chcnces fa these days whan f reqtliree all the carefulness an j

older person xan give to drive safely? Hot weather is necessary at this | I,me of year and there is no way to got away fiom It unless you can afford these modern summer resort rates, but its boon a fine summer up to now and since It takes those hot days and night to make the corn and beets and other crops, let's try to stand it and not complain too much. Wg can get away from a lot of the disagreeableness by being careful about what we eat and drink. We arc informed that the democratic state committee is receiving an average of one hundred dollars per day from the "Dollar a democrat" campaign. Thats a fine.urethod of raising money for the campaign and' is certainly just the opposite of the flan used by the republicans who would ignore such a trivial amount •n doubt, it's a good thing for the people to stay as far away as possible from Pennsylvania methods of campaigning. When people or interests are willing to invest millions in a campaign, you can safely guess they expect It back in one way or another. — The golden wedding anniversary of I Mr. and Mrs. John Niblick of this city was celebrated in a delightful and splendid manner aboard the Pacific steamer Minnedosa on July sth and the story of the unusual event was cabled to American newspapers. W e congratulate the bride and groom and extend the hope of this community that they may repeat the wonderful wedding tour on their diamond anniversary. They will conclude their fiftieth anniversary celebration by attending the exposition at Philadelphia where they spent their honeymoon in 1876. o

'! (® by Tho Ontury Company.) WNU Service THE STORY I CHAPTER I.—Barbara Devon’s wedding and departure on her honeymoon I leaves her brother “Laurie.” success- ' ful playwright but somewhat Inclined . Ito wildness without her restraining j influence. His theatrical •associates, . Hodney Bangs and Jacob Epstein, promise to “keep an eye on him.” CHAPTER 11. — Laurie, who is wealthy, refuses to settle down to ' work, announcing hla intention of resting and seeking “adventure.” From his window In New York he sees the reflection of a beautiful girl in a mirror in the house opposite. I CHAPTER 111 Laurie Meets Miss Mayo • 1 Laurie thought much that day about I the girl In the mirror, and he was again home at eleven that night, to the wonder of Mr. Bangs, who freely expressed his surprise. “Something pleasant been coming your way?" he tactfully asked. Laurie evaded the question, but he felt that something definitely pleasant • had come his way. This something > was a new Interest, and he had needed a new Interest very much. He ■ hoped he would dream of the girl that I night, but as he and Bangs unwisely consumed a Welsh rabbit before they went to bed, he dreamed Instead of I something highly unpleasant, and was glad to be awakened by the clear sunlight of a brilliant January day. i After breakfast he strolled across the square Into the somber hall of the studio building on its southwest corner. The hall was empty, but he fouud and rang a bell at the entrance of a dingy elevator shaft. The elevator descended without haste. When ft had reached the floor, the colored . youth in charge of it inhospitably filled Its doorway and regarded the ' visitor with indifference. This young | man was easy to look at, but he was no one he knew. i Laurie handed him a dollar and the youth's expression changed, first to one of surprise, then to the tolerance of a man who is wise and is willing . to share his wisdom. The visitor went : at bnce to the point of his visit. "A young lady Ilves here,” he began. “She is very pretty, and she has reddish hair and brown eyes. She has a studio in one of the upper floors, at the front of the house. What’s her name?" The boy’s face showed that he had i Instantly recognized the description, tat be p- uu-eseu 'drninau<.l/.r •'* I “Dat young lady mils' be *’fss Mayo, in Twenty-nine, on de top flo’. She jes’ moved In here las’ Tuesday.” . “Where does she come from, and ' what does she do?" I The boy hesitated. What did all 1 this mean? And was he giving up too I much for a dollar? Laurie grinned at ’, him understandlngly. ' "I don’t know her,” he admitted, "and I don't expect to. I'd like to I know something about her —that's all." 1 The youth nodded. He had the air j of accepting an apology. “I reckon She come turn some fnr’n . place. But I dunno what she do," he reluctantly admitted. ‘‘Mebbe she ■ ain't doin' nothin' ytt. She's home ' mos' de time. She don’ go out hardly ' 'tall. Seems like she don’ know many I folks.” x. | He seemed about to say more, but stopped. For a moment he obvlous- | ly hesitated, tlien blurted out what i he had in mind. J “One t’lng got me guesstn’,” he muttered doubtfully. “Dat young lady, j she don’t seem t' eat nothin’ 1" “What do you mean?” Laurie stared ' at him. II The boy shuffled his feet. He was on uncertain ground. . j “'Vhy, jes' what I said.” he muttered. defensively. "Folkses here either eats tn or dey eats out. Es dey eats In, dey has stuff sent in—rolls an’ eggs an' milk an’ stuff like dat. Es dey eats out, dey goes out, reg'lar, to meals. But Miss Mayo she don' seem to eat in or out. Nothin’ comes in. an' she don' go out 'nough to eat reg'lar. I bin studyin' 'bout it conI sideFble," he ended; and he looked ■ | unmistakably relieved, as If he had passed on to another a burden that was too heavy to carry alone. Laurie hesitated. The situation was presenting a new angle and a wholly unexpected one. It began to look as If he had come on a sentimental eri rand and had stumbled on a tragedy, i There was a chance that the boy might he all wrong In his inferences, although this chance, Laurie mentally admitted, was slight. He knew the shrewdness of this youth’s type, the precocious knowledge of human aaI ture that often accompanies such I training and environment as he hat! 112'1. PlUhSblZ—he sHSpected _even

more than he'had revealed: Homething must be done. Laurie drew a bill from Ids pocket. “How soon cun you leave the eleviitor? 1, he asked. •• 'Bout one o'clock " "All right. Now. here's what I want you to do. Take this money, go over to the Clarence restaurant, and buy a good lunch for that lady. Get some hot chicken or chops, buttered rolls, vegetables, and a bottle of milk. Have It packed nicely In a box. Have them put In some fresh eggs nnd extra rolls und butter for her tireakfast. Deliver the box at her door as if It came from some one outside. Do that and keep the change. Understand?" “Taali, sah!" The boy’s eyes and teeth were shining. "All right. Go to it. I'll drop tn later this afternoon for your report." Laurie turned and walked away. Even yet the experience did not seem real. It was probably all based on some foolish notion of the youth s; and yet he dared not assume that It was a foolish notion. He had the dramatist's distaste for drama anywhere except In its legitimate place, on the stage; but he admitted that sometimes It did occur In life. Tills might be one of those rare occasions.
