If you take the car out tomorrow remember that several million others are using the roads in the United States, that they have their rights and that some of them take more privilege than they should, that you can't be too careful if you expect to return with a whole skin and a car that you can use Monday. An expert attending the American Testing Society at their French Lick convention this week said that if women woud iron but once a month the irons would last seven times as long, which means however, a large investment in shirts, skirts and other linens. Most of us are lucky to have enough to last from one week to another and can’t possibly arrange to make it month to month. They are certainly after the Duvall bunch at Indianapolis and its a safe guess they will get them. Each day an affidavit is being filed against some one connected with the administration in efforts to make them change their minds and get out of office so they can hire a manager. The latest to be "pinched" is Johnny Collins, city purchasing agent who is charged with having accepted a SSOO bribe. It must be a flue outfit. Os course every one wants Commander Richard Byrd to play it safe and we would not urge him to hop off in the face of a storm but the fact remains that if a fellow had wanted to or needed to go to Europe real badly the past mouth, he would have saved considerable time by using a liner. It seems a sure thing that before the airplane travel overseas is it-Tc popular or pioflCtiblxs, r-wtli L-c.-.--to be made more dependable. Political leaders now announce that the special session of congress which will convene in October is not being called because of the flood but because of politics. The president desires to get the factional discussions out of the road before convention time next June and feels that a few weeks ex.ra may be necessary for that. Thats exactly whats wrong with the country. Congress is no longer an agency for the good of the people but a big political machine whose main object is to continue certain men in fat jobs.

F. W. Anderson, who operates a general store at Cozad, Nebraska, a , town of 1,200 and who has gained a reputation as one of the best mer- 1 chants in the United States and who docs an annual business of $300,000, recently told a bunch of business men in a convention held in that section that his success was due to advertising more than any one thing. He I said: “If you don't tell ’em, you can't ] sell ’em. Every groceryman and I every small store merchant should spend at least two per cent of his gross income for advertising. It ’.s so powerful that it can change my breakfast, my automobile or my place of living.” He is right of course and you know it for his success is po different than that of every man who has put it over. Josephus Daniels has found the man the Democratic party should nominate for the presidency in 1928, but he says he Isn't willing to make the name public just yet. “They're killing off | everybody who comes out now,” says' Mr. Daniels. “I’m keeping quiet about

my man until the right time.” This is the quintessence of wisdom. When you find an ideal candidate there Is no use in permitting him to be slaughtered through a premature announcement. Besides, by keeping his name under cover Mr. Daniels stimulates the curiosity of the voters. If he had named his m»n yesterday the candidate would have been a one-day story only. Now Mr. Daniels made him a guessing contest, which should last until the North Carolina editor chooses to beat all the newspapers In the country by publishing the name in the Raliegh News and Observer. We are willing to start the contest by making the first guess. We guess that Josephus Daniels can see his ideal candidate when he looks Into the family looking glass.—New York Post.

We saw a photoplay the other day that. didn't have anything to do with morals, sexology or abnormal psychology. There wasn't any wayward daughter of a dancing mother. There were no suppressed desires or Freudian complexes. There was no free love and no cheap kisses. No morbid heroine blew cigaret smoke out of her nose and reclined voluptuously on a divan to ensnare her moon-calf lover. Even jazz, the mainstay of the “big film feature,” was strangely absent. The story was one of romance. It was love and adventure. Sublimation replaced prostitution. It was the kind of a show that sends you away with a “good taste in your mouth.” It was American entertainment. Let the Russians have their Tolstoi. Let the “hig-brows” have their Isben. Let the morons have their Wilde. Healthy Americans like moonlight on the water with tinkling tunes floating across the lake. Give us romance that bathes in a rose-tinted haze an otherwise drab world. The war brought us morbid literature and drama with a "kick". The war is now rfver. Americans want romance again.—Peru Tribune. * BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ +♦♦♦♦++♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦* SUNDAY’S FIVE BEST RXD5ffT> MATURES Copyright 1927 by United Press Central standard time throughout.

: CONVICTS FIGHT i IN MINE SHAFT Instigators Os Mutiny Over- ! powered By Those Not In Sympathy With Move I Lanning. Kuh.. June 25—(UPI—The grim story of a hand to hand battle I at the bottof of u 720 foot mine shaft between 278 of the 328 niutim us prla- . oners who were not in sympathy with i the muty, was related by convicts in their cell house's today. Driven by fear and hunger the men who were not in sympathy with mutiny, charged a barricade behind which they had been held prisoners an l after breaking through, assaulted the instigators of the mutiny with handles, shovels and rocks. Tuesday the strikers overpowered the guards in the coal mines, barricade the men who were not in sympathy with the strike, and declared a stiike agaist prison officials. Mutineers Lose Ground The battle beneath the ground con-

tinued back and forth and with each onslaught the mutineers lost ground A call was made to the surface for held on'—ETAO IRTJA ETAOINNN ous men were driven and wun guards us reinforcements the prisoners were within sight of the elevator cage. Here a threat was made by the mutineers to blow up the -haft with dyna mite but the rush was started again and the mutinous convicts were dtlven past the shaft. At one stage of the turmoil, the mutineers used acid in their flight and several men suffered slight burns from acid. After gaining control of tb elevator the mutinous men were overpowered and sent to the surface 12 at a time where they were taken by guards and placed in their cells. Weakened by lack of food and exhausted from their flight, their faces griuiy with coal dust and some streaked with blood, several of the imprisoned men collapsed when they reached the earth’s serface. Seven men are recuperating in the prison hospital today from wounds but none were in a serious condition. ——o Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pave
