That was a fine old breeze that came yesterday afternoon breaking the hot spell and making it possible to get a breath of old fashioned air. Ano everybody appreciated it too, Mr. Weatherman. j Ml ' Remember 8:15 Wednesday morning at democratic headuarters- Evans Woollen and other state leaders. Meetings will also be held at Monroe, Berne and Geneva. Meet Mr. Woollen and see if you don’t agree that he will make a splendid representative of Indiana in the senate of the United States. Well, well, an American girl finally swam the English channel, did it two hours less time than either of the men who had previously accomplished the feat, did it and was apparently "fit as a fiddle” when she climbed out on the other side. These modern American girls are showing the folks over there some speed in sports these days. Make what excuses you will, talk good times until you get blue in the face, hut the fact remains that the farmer's dollar is worth only sixty per' cent of the other fellows and is worth thirteen cents less now than it was ten years ago. And just remember that until the farmer is really and truly prosperous, the good times they talk about is “bunk.” The investigating committee has reported that no one was responsible for the stroke of lightning which destroyed an arsenal in New Jersey causing the death of twenty-one people and a loss of $57,000,000 worth of property. No wonder people consid- ... ikm l-Uii»«iiF*iitij ri-.'** —**'*■<•» '■ O' l * graiis and takes and about every-1 thing else. Indiana which in 1890 was the sixth state in the union in population has slipped to eleventh place according to the latest figures. The state has not backed up but has not grown as rapidly as other states. “Spect a lot of Hoosiers now have a home address in Florida or California. In this state people make money rather easily and then move to some place where the winter climate suits them better. The program for tins year's Chautauqua is one of the best ever offered in this county. It contains lectures, plays, the famous Green band, junior work, concerts and six days of happiness. The tickets are but three dollars each, an average of about twenty-five cents for each wonderful performance. You can't afford to pass it up. Get a ticket now- and help the committee. Governor Jackson has his plans all laid tor that half mi I non dollar appropriation for more room to house state employes. He expects the incoming legislature to be republican, and if ft is, th e appropriation will go through. But remember the half million, like the reformatory de luxe and other industries under a republican administration, is only the beginning, More half millions will follow to keep that first half company, never fear. But one must not be a "calamity howler”—that disrupts things so.— Bluffton Banner. The Dayton, Ohio, Herald com-

manta editorially on the duty a city 'owes to the taxpayers, in salvaging old street pavement by utilizing it as a base tor a new wearing surface, rather than laying an entire now pavement. "It has been demonstrated," says the Herald, "by exacting tests over a considerable period of time that tha resurfaced street is almost as good as one newly paved, regardless of the material originally used in its construction. It makes the street ’new' again at a traction of the cost of building one inew. The old road beds have gone through the natural process of cracking and settling but inherently they are as good as when put down. Usually. only the surface needs repair or replacement.” The Herald points out that different forms of asphaltic or bituminous wearing surfaces double the life of old streets, at half the cost of new pavements, and that such surfaces can be applied at a minimum of trouble, expense and de-

lay. It then says: “A man does not tear down a house if it needs painting. The city ought not to tear up a street because it needs a new surface.” - '/ o- ■ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES * ♦ of RAD I O ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Sunday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1926 By United Press WPG Atlantic City (800) WIP Philadelphia (405) 7:50 pm (S. 8.

London? Buenos Aires? Budapest? Belfast? Paris? Distances—in communication—are no longer reckoned in miles. Minutes and seconds are the measuring sticks. A flash from London would reach this newspaper in three minutes—from Buenos Aires in forty-eight seconds. A world-wide news-gathering organization called the UNITED PRESS makes this possible. There are rival organizations both in this country and abroad. This is a UNITED PRESS newspaper, first because the UNITED press is one of the largest news-agencies m existence with unrivalled facilities—second . because its foreign bureaus are in charge of American news-, papermen—and third because of its independence from any Governmentally kepi' agency its news is completely impartial and free from propaganda. 22’ r-"- u ""<° WM, hM been Mrrin, r^r...
