We suppose the state police carry those big revolvers so what they say will sound more emphatic. If it doesn't quit raining in this section until October, congress is going to have an awful lot of water to carry out between that time aud spring. You will get more real pleasure out of the Decatur Country Club than you can get with the same amount ot money expended any other way we know of. We can't see that it makes much difference whether congress meets in October or November to take action on the flood situation. It ought to be pretty well over one way or another by then. The Daleville farmer sent to the penal farm for giving his wife whiskey when she was ill evidently doesn’t have the right standin with the attorney general. The governor has refused him a pardon. The sneak thief who stole SIOO,OOO worth of jewels from the Schidlap mansion at Oyster Bay certainly used good judgment in selecting the place.; and saved time. It would have taken a long time and a lot more ot effort to have secured the same amount from the clothes lines of the Jones and Browns and Smiths. The fire losses in the United States last year was about $600,000,000, a gain of about twenty million a year since 1923 and a united effort is now being made by insurance companies and by others interested to stop the spread of the red monster’s plague. Rural communities and small towns contribute heavily to the loss and there is but one way to stop this unnecessary loss. That is by studying fire prevention, seeing to your equipment and being careful. Four nice days right in a row is the record this week and the farmers of Adams county have certainly taken advantage of it. As a result several thousand acres of corn have been planted and there is just the sign of a smile on the face of the average fellow interested in agricultural pursuits and a hope at least that we may have a crop. A week ago it looked about as discouraging as was possible and its wonderful what a difference a few days can make in this section of the country. You may not care for golf for yourself but you surely care for this community and you believe in doing those things which place it at the front as an ideal place in which to live. Then you should support the efforts of those who are trying jo do that. Already the wonderful course and the modern club here is attracting much attention and this will continue. We can make it an outstanding feature that will mean much to every citizen here who really believes in progress and wishes this to be an ideal city. Some one in Washington seems t.i have been mistaken. Senator Smoot yesterday conferred with the president for quite a while and then announced that it had been decided to call an extra session of congress to u.scuss flood relief, the meeting to be held in October, but this morning it is announced from the White House

■that the announcement was premature and that the president has not yet committed himself to such a program. The president is noted for being careful and there are those who feel that at times he is careful to a degree that hurls more than it helps. Anyway the affair has the people ut Washington puzzled and we might add that it lias had the folks out west puzzled tor some time. Efforts now are being made to apply the new tax law, which members of the state board of tax commissioners have said was almost unworkable. One of the first tests has come in Shelby county where a showing was made that farmland had been assessed for more than its value. A survey, I covering several sales, indicates that the assessments are 10.71 per cent, too high. Since January 1, 2,770 acres of farmland have been sold at an average of $92.68 an acre, while similar land is assessed at an average of $104.37 an acre. The new act contains three ways in arriving at true‘ valuation. One is the “normal earning capacity under conditions ot av-l erage efficiency of operation of prop-* erty of like kind and character, sim-' ilarly located"; the second is “volun- ( tary sales, if any, of similar property in the same vicinity”, and the third is "the speculative value of said property, if any.” The board may authorize a horizontal decrease in assessed > valuation, but has no authority to in-, crease the valuation of property that has been assessed too low. The evident intent of the act was to give relief to farming communities, if such relief was found to be neded, but the statute does not distinguish farm property from town and city lots. Although urban and farm real estate are viewed alike by the law there evidently will have to be a different manner of treatment for taxation purposes. Formers of the act only had one kind of real estate in mind, it would seem. —Indianapolis News. o Used car bargains in our classified ad. Saylors Motor Co.

EXERCISES Beneficial To Body If Not Overdone I Washington. June 9.—(UP) —Exercises and games taken in moderation and with proper precautions are very beneficial to the body, according to Dr. Hugh 8. Cumming, Surgeon Gen- 1 erul of the U. S. Public Health, Service. "Exercises are of the most benefit when taken in the open air,” he said. “It must not be forgotten, however, that if overdone as they are apt to be in competitive athletics, these other-, wise beneficial exercises are likely to be harmful. "Lack of exercise causes ‘certain muscles and organs of the body to become weak and flabby from little use and this condition reacts unfavorably on mental and body health and vigor. "The general increase in circulation which takes place as a result of exercise benfits all parts of the body. There should be u reguar time of day Set aside for exercise, just as] there are regular hours for meals." Dr. Cumming said walking is one of the best moderate outdoor exercises. He listed horseback riding, swimming, golf, tennis, and handball

ns other exercises which afford recreation as well us aid to the body. "Before one engages in any kind of sport or exercise, it is best to have a physical examination made by a competent physician to ascertain whether the heart, lungs, kidneys, arteries and other vital organs ate in conditions to stand the exertion. This is particularly true of people of middle age and past, especially if they are no longer accustomed to exercise. “Do not attempt too much," he warned. "One should never play so hard as to feel exhausted or to feel too tired to rat. Sufficient exercise to exhaust is sufficient to harm. "After 411 vigorous exercise one should immediately take a warm shower followed by a short moderately cold one. The body should be vigorously rubbed and the clothing changed. This is very important because colds ahd sore muscles may follow the chilling of the body which results from standing around in clothing soaked with perspiration." o Mrs. Charles E. Holt house has returned from Detroit, Michigan, where she visited friends.
