We can carry more of the smaller bills, soon to be turned out by Uncle ■ Sam but can we get them? Aye, there's the rub. The only fellow over in Europe who isn't warming up to Captain Lindbergh is Mussolini and he is never enthusiastic about any thing unless he's the whole show himself. Don't let the yards or the streets or the vacant lots get to looking raggfed now just because Decoration Day is oyer. Remember that almost every day is important now with so much traffic. Talking about the proposal that the president call a special session of congress to take care of the flood situation, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: “Why, isn’t the flood enough trouble for one country?” ‘Spect it is. The rains continue and so far no one has figured out just how the farmer of this section can outsmart the weather man and get his crop in, cultivated and harvested between showers when they come as frequently as they have this spring. Why all this talk and blow about changing the Wright bone dry law when the regular session of the legislature is nearly two years away? The only relief seems to be a special session or a continued acquaintance with the bootlegger. Italy with about half the population of this country is organizing an army of five million men. Mr. Mussolini evidently has something serious on his mind or he would not agree to such an expense and he is not the ::r : naan to cream ot world control. President Coolidge is going to the Black Hills way out in South Dakota for his vacation and a lot of the natives out there will wonder why he is doing that and thinking that a trip to Washington would be enough vacation for them and it would. After all a vacation means a change of scenery and a change of the things we see every day, so both are right.

Henry Ford drove his first little old two-cylinder car along side his fifteen millionth the other day and announced the proposed manufacture of a new car that will have the same influence the next quarter century that the old car has had in the past. Thats a big statement but not half so big a guess as it would have been to say twenty-five years ago that millions would be driving the flivver. Another twenty-five year-old boy jumped into fame yesterday when George Sauders, of Lafayette, won the five hundred mile race at Indianapolis. He was scarcely even considered a “dark horse” but he whisked his Dusenberg Special around the two and a half mile track two hundred times at an average of over ninety9 sever* miles and copped the first prize. It seems to be a year for the youngsters. It is noticeable that none of the money getters in the Ing speedway classic were of the old timers we have heard about. Leo Meehan, one of the best known picture directors from Hollywood and a son in-law of the late Gene StrattonPorter has arrived at Rome City with

a crew of thirty men and women to film scenes for "The Harvester", one of the authoresses most popular stories. They will also, it is announced, come to this county for several settings and the picture will then be finished at Hollywood. The story is one of the most interesting ones of its time and the picture will no doubt be one of the big ones next year. Walter Scott, known in the west as "Death Valley Scotty" is alxiut to “cut loose" again. He is a miner who prospects for years and then when the hunger for the bright lights get so strong he can’t stand it, tears out on a good spree. Some twenty years ago he rushed across the country spending a fortune and it is announced that he is planning another trip that will create almost as much interest as did that of Lindbergh. He has arranged with the Sante Fe railroad to leave Los Angeels the morning of July 4th ou a special train with he as the only passenger and to make the run to Chicago in thirtyeight, hours, twenty-five hours less than the fastest time on record. He is paying $25,000 for the little excursion and thats only a small portion, of what he proposes to put in circulation. It is claimed he has recently made four million dollars out of his platinum mine and we presume its alright for him to scatter some of it. Due honor was paid in this county to the soldier dead, over Sunday and Monday. Fitting services in which the heroes who offered their lives for the grand old flag were conducted and hundreds of people joined in the various services. Flags fluttered to the breezes and everywhere was displayed a sincere respect for those soldiers whose names are silent when the roll is called. Two distinct services were conducted here, one on Sunday in charge of the Legion and the Spanish American veterans and another yesterday by the Woman’s Relief Corps. In each event the few remaining members of the G. A. R. took part and with each program was the placing of flowers on the graves of the soldier and sailor dead and a suitable observation at the bridge and at the peace monument. Decoration Day was well observed. One noticeable fact was that the men of the World war took a larger part than heretofore, a signal that in the years to come they will continue the observance of this
