We haven't heard of any one standing on their head atop a flag pole for a couple of weeks. They might try that. L— ■ Young Hob LaFollette of Wisconsin, a son of his father, says the talks of President Coolidge in tile Bia k Hills is a lot of ‘‘bunk” and will not avail I him as an aspirant for a third term in the White House, indicating that | there may be some political fur flying when the proper time conies.
Down at New Castle, Indiana, tiny had an electric storm the other evening, during which a church, three business houses and twelve residences were struck by lightning, with a total loss of more than SIOO,OOO, probably a record along that line. The storm continued several hours and had every body about there convinced that the end of time had arrived. We heard a tourist complain last evening that one of the down town n t rooms which he had visited was no: as clean as it should be, a matter perhaps more important than it seems. Visitors make up their minds whether a town is good or bad by what they see and usually such incidents as this are far reaching. The rest rooms should be just what the name implies and this is not true unless kept in a sanitary condition. Stephenson has reached the desparate stage where he hungers for company and strange as it may seem 1 those who but a few years ago were his chums and confidents and some of whom profited politically by contact with him. He has given up going free and now desires only to show some of those whom he claims have 1 forsaken him in time of need. That may help some. Chamberlin and Levine who flew across the Atlantic together have quarreled and Chamberlin refuses to associate longer with his partner. It is said the "fuss" was caused by a' cablegram from Levine to Byrd, challenging him to a race from Paris to New York. That seems to have been a breech of flyers etiquette and' Chamberlin after telling Levine what he thought of him, immediately disolved partnership. Some times the less we say the more popular we are. The president l of the United States recently made | a speech in Hammond and less than 25,000 people heard him and these not so very enthusiastic. A few days ' later Colonel Lindbergh flew over Indianapolis and it is estimated that some quarter of a million people stood on buildings and on the streets and waved their hands in response to a friendly shake from Lindy. What do you make of that? Commander Byrd is abltious to say the least. He will ask permission | from the navy department to fly to the South Pole, to the interior of Brazil, to Arabia and to the top of Moun Everett from where no traveler has ever returned. He and his comrades will sail for America next week and expect to start for the South Pole in September, taking photographs which should be of great benefit to science. Henry Ford has ordered his magazine, the Dearborn Independent, to stop attacking the Jews, according to
Shopping by. Plane Now an Actuality "'SSL , Wi 1 \ i I > ■ When Mrs. T. Higbee Embry, of Cincinnati, wants to visit friends or shop in some nearby town, she hops there in her airI plane. she says. a story from New York City. For | several years the Independent hats been almost vicious in its tirade against the Jews, which people it was claimed was taking possession of I banking, theaters, amusement, manufacture and sports. The announcej ment that Ford has apologized and admitted his position as wrong is i rather startling and quite surprising.
u| If you have been running the stop y signs, stop it and if you haven't, for e the good of every one, don't start doing it. Besides being a dangerous practice it is a violation of the city t ordinance and makes a lot of trouble 1 ' for you and the officials. They have 4 1 been trying to be lenient but there is ■ |of course a point where forbearance ! | ceases to be a virtue and we feel from 5 ! expressions we have heard, they ’ have about reached that point. j The county board of review has ■ completed the annual job of revalu--1 ing the property as returned by the assessors and by township horizontal increases have brought the total valuation to about where it was a year ago. This seems necessary in order jto equalize the taxes and to prevent a high tax rate for after all the money ■to pay the expenses’ of government .and improvement, must be met and I there seems to be no other way. If any body knows one they would confer a favor making it public. Reports from over the state indicate that in some instances proper attention is not being given to building the foundations for state roads. I If such is the case it is of course seriously important for without proper base the roads will not be and can- | not be improved from year to year. | Inspectors on these roads should see I that the specifications are strictly I complied with for aside from the financial loss to the state and the tax payers there is the inconvenience of having to close the roads later for further repairs or rebuilding. Roads should be built right while under conI struction. o ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Hookup 6:30 pm.—Goldman band.
