One thing "Lindy" has found that is that when a man becomes fa-, mous he loses his privacy. Every time he turns about now he is hounded by newspaper men and sight-sec-' ing folks, so when he wants to slip' down to Washington to get the plane he needs must do so dining the night. Perhaps after the S . Louis reception he may be permitted to attend to a 1 few matters forw himself, but it is doubtful. I Just about every* body in the country will be pulling tor the speedy re-* covery of Will Rogers, famous humor- * ist who was operated on today tor a* serious disarrangement of the gall I appara.ua. For many years Bill has | traveled from town to town spreading joy for millions and has found time in between to write for hundreds of newspapers. We need Rogers in this country and we hope he will* soon be spilling his funny sayings again. Some idea of how speedy we have' become in this country is evidenced* by the fact that a new book can now * be found in the book stores of the cities entitled "Charles Lindbergh,* his life." A month ago no one would have paid any attention to suctf an edition but now they are selling like hot cakes. During the past three * weeks, the book has been written and printed and marketed, another nonstop record. In a nearby city a store which had | i been in business more than fifty years closed a few days ago and when the ' owner was asked the cause, he said it was the decision made a few years ago to reduce overhead by doing without advertising and thats what usually ' happens in such cases. Advertising is telling he people what you have' to sell and is more important than 1 rent or clerk hire, for without cus- * tomers you don't need the other expense. The average fellow gets such a kick out of hooking and landing a trout * that we doubt not that President Cool- 1 idge who took in seven on his first morning out, has already forgotten the trials and worries of state. And thats fine for even a president must ; let down occasionally or he will break down and the same is true for every man and woman who carries responsibilities. You should plan a vacation.' it takes you out of the rut and makes life worth living and usually there is some way to arrange it. Peru will open their new municipal golf course Saturday, five holes being! ready for use. While it is advertised as being free, a twenty-five cent green * fee must be paid. The course is costing the city thousands of dollars and will cost them many thousands'll! the future if it is maintained. The Peru Tribune urges every one to assist in taking care of the links and asks the players who digs up a piece of sod with his club to stop long enough to carefully put it back, adding this paragraph: “We will soon see whether or not the people appreciate things 1 that are given them.” A group of men have organized at Linn Grove, Ind., to manufacture air- * planes. It looks like a pretty nervy undertaking, but some score of years ago, it looked quite as foolish for some concerns that started in the manufacture of automobiles, yet

' many wonderful cities today are the 1 result of that daring or years ago. Linn Grove Is a small place to venture ■ into the great field of flying but the promoter* plan to manufacture mod- | era airplanes and monoplanes. A veteran filer is associated with the I company and he is planning to use *a new wing curve which he recently designed. The state of Michigan walked off with the lion’s share of > the auto manufacturers so it is to be * hoped that Indiana may put herself ■ in line for the "air business.” —Co- * lumbia City Post. I - I John Parker, former governor of Ijouisiana who had charge of the flood situation in ills state announces that danger to life is now over in the inundated regions and lie has resigned. In his statement he gives due credit to Mr. Hoover and his department and much praise to the Red Cross. The great organization for the relief of I suffering does a great work and is an I institution worth while. When dis- | asters occur, they do not wait for .red tape or developments, but immediately get on the job and stay there until every thing has been taken care of. I We are proud of the fact that Adams county gave liberally to their fund for this cause and it should be remembered that the work of the Red i Cross is by no means over in the I flood territory, though others let up. (They will take care of the situation I for months to come and many who , have lost every thing they have will I need much attention during the next year. — Delaware's new censorship barring newspaper reporters from the divorce courts, in imitation of the English press, muzzling law is a censorship * which, from every point of view seems * vicious. It sets up a gag precedent which is un-American. It offers the worst kind of divorce seeker — the kind that asks separation on the slightest whim and without a just * complaint—to operate under a guaranteed mask. It encourages, rather than discourages divorce, at a time j * whqn the great need of society is a i reduction in the number of divorces. | I _ j The principal cause of divoree today I is too hasty marriage and too easy ( * divorce laws. No upright man or woman needs to fear the limelight of publicity where there is just complaint for separation. It is the loose-1
