New York Have you joined the Benjamin Franklin Highway Association? Just 10l Americans attended the Brittisii festival. Sounds like a wild west show. A long, stow rain over the week-end would he acceptable to most folks in the middle west mid would mean a dollar or two an acre on crops. We need about eighty-five more members to complete the organization of the Adams County Franklin Highway Association. We need you. if you can tell who murdered Don Mellett, the Canton editor, you will receive $27,000 in rewards. Don't all hold up your hands at the same time. Another heat wave is coming, according to the weather man but what tan you expect, during the last lap of July? This is better than the frosts which were predicted. A hundred and fifteen banks have closed in Georgia and Florida which is one way of squeezing the water out of those marshy lots which sold at fabulous prices a few months ago. What goes up must come down but some times the bricks drop on the heads of innocent bystanders. Everybody enjoyed the concert ?iven by the Decatur boy's band last evening and we congratulate the lirector. all who have made It possible and the boys. Its a wonderful raining for any youngster and not jnly furnishes something worth while for them to do but entertains thousstnds of people who love good band music. 'crested in community affairs wit ■ hero last evening to inspect the Deratur nlvnicipal swimming pool. They declared it the best in northeastern Indiana and praised this city for this, progressive step. Its such things as this that makes one city better than another and its worth ten times what it costs. Appropriations for operating the government the next year are $471.tmo,non greater than for the past year and attention is being called to the voters that this is in the face of Coolidge economy so widely advertised. There is something wrong some where and many are of the opinion that we are being "slickered" again by the same crowd which talks one thing and does another. ————— When a man spends a lot of money to go to the United States senate, he expects to get it back some way and ultimately you consumers pay the freight. Its easy to figure if you really think about it seriously. They say James Watson’s nomination cost him a couple of hundred thousand dollars. He can never get that back honestly as a member of the senate. Why not release him so he can go to work and make it back? Another week-end is here and thousands of cars will again be on the road, dashing to this place and that, to lakes and to cities, and town. There is danger in the mad dash of today and while it probably won't do any good particularly, it is about all we can do. to careful, keep your eye on the other fehj

low. you don't know what he Is going ’ to do, watch the railroad and highway crossings, avoid accidents if possible. Some one murdered Don Mellett a week ago, some one, perhaps several ; know about all how it happened, who t did It and why. If there Is a sufficient desire to learn the truth, it will be ’ forthcoming and the quest should never cease until the guilty parties > are brought to trial and convicted 1 The affair should at least clean up ■ the underworld section of Cant >n i and make It a safe city In which to ’ conduct a clean newspaper. . .. z French people are permitting sentimental foolishness to run away with their good sense and are insulting Americans who are touring that country and spending their money. Yet this nation financed them and furnished men to assist them in winning the war. Secretary Mellon arrived there today. Will they call him "Uncle Shy lock" or will they talk to him in a sensible manner, 'seeking advice as to the best means of increasing the value of the franc? Much depends on their decision. Jack Dempsey is going to defend his heavyweight championship honors, at Chicago, September 11th, when he will meet Tunney, a runnerup who has been seeking the opportunity some three or four years. Jack will get $406,000, Tunney $150,000 and charity SIOO,OOO while the rest of the profit goes to Tex Rickard who framed the fight. It is expected that enough "suckers” will pay the exorbitant admission fee to make a total of $2,000,000. Aren't we a lot of soft marks to make a fuss over sue t an affair? But we will. * Big Features Os • • RADIO * Sunday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright, 1926. By United Press Central Standard Time Throughout WEAF — Hookup. 5:20 >p in.—Capitol theater program.

t|DR. KING’S JOB APPEARS SAFE I > Indianapolis, Ind.. July 24 —(Unitted Press)—The conclusion of the reign > of the insurgent faction which has I ruled affahs of the State board of i health for the past 10 months was seen In the offing today. Duo to poor health which may carry him to California, announcement has been made that Dr. Homer C. Haas of Peru, one of the insurgent faction may resign. Haas, together with Dr. T. Victor Keene of Indianapolis and Dr. James A. Turner of Indianapolis have been opposed to the retention of Dr. William F. King, member and secretary of the board. Unable to oust King they tried him on a charge of mismanagement and placed hint under "probation.'’ In an effort to break the disorder, Gov.

King's friends had feared that he w’ould eventually lose out in his fight to keep the secretaryship since his term expires next spring some time before that of Dr. Keene. if a new members, favorable Io King is chosen, with the support of Dr. John H. Greene of North Vernon, the position will probably remain unJcopradised. — o-20-Year-Old 20-Year-Old Ridicule Os Automobile Reprinted By Willian Allen White Emporia, Kans., July 24. —(United Press)—"The automobile has brought an economic revolution and with it a social and political revolution." William Allen White writes in commenting on his own fun-poking at the motor car of 20 years ago. exhibited in the Twenty Years Ago column of the Emporia Gazette. The 20 year old item read: “Atchison may have her brewery; Hutchinson may have her salt works; Topeka her woolen mills; Wichita her packing house, but Emporia is about to have a garage. "We can’t pronounce it. but it is a livery stable for automobiles. A garbage or garage or whatever you call it is a great thing. The real Kansas aristrocracy is the gasoline aristocracy. And as a sign of Emporia’s social grandeur she is going to have one of those blamed garbages.” To which the editor adds today: "How quickly times have changed Twenty years ago the garage business an experitntTo ainlu.it a..' ■.l.aby m?ii are cii^ligeu’voVne feeding of the automobile as are engaged in tl:a care and teeuing ot non.c sapiens. It costs almost as much to keep the wheels going under our cars as to keep the wheels going in our heads. "As it is, the revolution has come quietly and only wise people know haw deeply it has affected economics, politics, and American Society from top to bottom." — o - Three Apples Per Week Eaten By Americans Washington, D.
