We don't like to take the joy on* of life, kids, but do you realize that school opens three weeks from today? The merchant who advertises during the next month will show an increase in business over those who do not. The wise ones gain while the foolish lose. Which will you be? A Dollar Day would help every merchant who took part, would be appreciated by the public and would show that the community is a snappy, energetic and business like one. The corn borer has reached Allen bounty, Just north of us. and it may 4>e wise to watch that none of these destroyers are carried over into this county. They are also reported in Dekalb and Steuben counties, and when once well started they are difficult to eradicate. In selecting a parking space for automobiles, if th e council decides to" provide this convenience, care should be used in placing it where it does not inconvenience residents or where there is danger of the congestion causing accidents. Bathing at the lakes over the week end seems to be almost as fatal as automobile accidents at this season of the year. Each Sunday brings the reports of a half dozen or more ... age swimmers. There is an element of danger in swimming in deep water that should make everyone who so indulges use the greatest care. It you will buy an extra ticket or two for chautauqua you can entertain your ft lends in the very best way and help along one of the finest events of the year. The sale of tickets is very satisfactory and the committeee hopes that the enthusiasm this year will outclass that of any year since chautauquas have been given here. It’s money mighty well spent, for you will hear lectures and concerts that are worth several times the price of admission. County fairs properly conducted and with a program of interest, are a benefit to any county. We are informed that the 1926 exhibition of the Northern Indiana fair will meet every expectation of the people. The dates are September Ist to 4th incflisive. a Saturday fair this year being the inauguration of a new idea. The Trigger the crowd, the better the fair from every standpoint, and a success, this year will assure a continuance of the -county fair here. With the outlook for sugar beets and corn very good there is no reason why the season shouldn't prove a profitable one. and it will unless the markets are popnded down just when the hardest season comes. It has been a good growing year in this vicinity, though in some districts the long drouth has caused heavy losses. Our farmers need a good year, and to have it they must have a large crop and good prices. Here’s hoping they come through with sufficient profit to

•make up some of the losses of the r past few years. i; g!t— The "dollar a democrat" campaign continues to bring a pleasing amount into the state campaign treasury ’. each day. and it’s the very best way ’■ in the world to finance such an organization. If the democrats win in In- ’ diana this year they will be under, obligation to no clique, no gang, no , one but the people, which means that j legislation and administration can be J rendered unhampered. Send your ( , i dollar to this office or to 11. Earl i Peters, state chairman, at Indlanap- [ oils. If you purchase stock in a build- ' Ing and loan association, you help your community, make a good invest- j ment and save money. That should . he sufficient reason for anyone , who can to become a member. You I can pay in any amount from fifty 1 I cents up per month or you can pur- j chase the stock outright, it pays good , returns and at the same time it pro- j vides a continuous sum of money for ! financing building of new homes in ■ 1 this community. Don't put it off any longer. Join this week. The stock will soon be worth more money and this is a wise time to start. i The farmer is discontented because ■ 1 1 prosperity is not passing his way. j The average farmer gets less for his! labor than an office boy of a kitchen ‘ domestic. His grievance is real and J of long standing. Make no about that. The Middle West holdsL the balance of power in this country, it is not. like New England and the 1 South, tied by Civil War habits. e The Middle West switches from party to party. It elects Presidents , and it breaks them. Co-operation t and business organization for the sale 11 of his crops, and not government ‘ price fixing, are needed to give the j farmer a fairer return for his effort, j Until he obtains equality with other classes, uniest will continue. —Col s a lier's. ° a * BIG FEATURES * of R AD I O * 8 * >++++++++ + + + + + *+ | t WEDNESDAY'S RADIO FEATURES ’ (Copyright 1926 by the United Press) 5 W.JZ.

Little Janet wears a pout, | Wonder what it's all about? Little David's chubby hand In her face was throwing sand. This beyond the slightest doubt Is good reason for a pout. Something's wrong when boys will hurl Sand at such a little girl. David's mother says that he Promptly sent to bed shall he. Janet quite agrees he should, Maybe next time he’ll be good.

And perhaps I would not have been up yet had the sun not of come in the window and awakened me. I was in Frisco all day, Sunday, Aug. 8. It is just up one hill and down another. I was all through Golden Gate Park, on each one of the docks, 132 in all —but only a second each. I left Salt Lake at 2:oo—turned my Ingersoi back an hour—and took the ‘ "Feather River” route of the Western Pacific to Oakland, Calif. On leaving Salt Lake, the train went for 30 miles or more around the edge of the lake, and after leaving the water all you could see for the next 70 miles was salt beds —just as dry as dear old Indiana. It looked just like a great large desert and I guess that is what it was. At Salt Lake City I was on the grouiids of the temple, and in the auditorium and heard the organ re-! cital at noon. But .you have to be ( an awful good Mormon to get into the ( temple—therefore, all I could look at was the outside. But it is wonderful.' The "Feather River Canyon" is al-j so a beautiful place, for you go through 33 tunnels from Salt Lake' to Oakland —900 miles—the longest tunnel is about 9,000 feet, and the shortest one is 1,100 feet. But the scenery cannot be described. Between Frisco and Los Angeles' I came through Santa Barbara. You' can femember what happened there' a few years ago. You can still see some of the ruins. !‘ is also a wonderful train ride. ..And iiow, I am in Ocean Park. Four about six blocks south is Venice. To] the west lies the ocean—two blocks.

‘'Wait," say 1 with sombre face, •‘Let’s investigate the case, 1 don’t clearly understand What made 4)avid throw the sand." David answers, "Well, you see Janet threw some sand at me."

Nothing interesting ' to see a star on the beach. About all you can hear here is the , aeroplanes. The mail station is not far from here, nnd 1 was down yesterday and there must have been 30 of them. An independent field is close by, and it costs one cent a sec(ond to ride. My, what a beautiful day and it is not too hot. The word ideal describes the temperature. Best wishes to all.
