McCray dealt in cattle, Jackson in horses. Begins to look as though it were about time for Indiana to go out of the live stock business. They cau't locate the horse which Governor Ed Jackson sold to Stephenson for $2,500, but the last time he was seen, he was limping along with spavined joints and a guilty countenance. Conditions seem to be about the same every where. Federal officials arrested eleven bootleggers at Rapid City, S. D.. where President Coolidge has his summei white house. The complaint seems to have been that the home-made corn whiskey was of low grade. Those cool breezes which came rolling in about noon Sunday were refreshing and delightful. Within an hour those who had been complaining of the warm weather wgre hunting up coats and sweaters and bemoaning , the fact that frost might not be far , away. We are hard to please but we insist the weather man has done a very good job this summer. Because Emory Bronte and Ernie Smith sent out S. O. S. calls for help when it appealed that they would have to land in the shark infested Pacific and then because they did happen to get their plane repaired and to land on a lepper island, Mr. Wilbur of the navy department gives them a "calling.” Its our opinion that if any of the swivel chair boys in Washington had been in the plane when the * trouble came and the gas tank was ; empty they could have been heard 1 squealling several miles without a wireless. ; For a couple of thousand years horses have taken a part rather important in history but with the coming of the horeless carriage we presumed they would be left out. Thats the surprise that our own governor when asked to explain why and how he got a check from “Old Man” Stephenson should replay that the $2,500 was in payment for a horse. That sum would buy a lot of horses today most any where but in Indianapolis. If the governor is spending the peoples money on the same basis, its not to be wondered at that fifty million a year scarcely keeps the state going. ~~ 1 1 With the touring season now at its height, the mechanical first aid department of the Hoosier State Auto Association issues a few’ timely hints on the care of tires. A large portion of car owners consistently neglect their tires. It might be supposed that the makers of tires would with good reason rejoice in this fact. InMead, however, they have gone to some trouble and expense through their organization, the Rubber Asso- , elation of America, to put before the car owner correct information about their product and how to get the longest possible life out of it. The : association points out that the chief f factor in the life of any pneumatic, 1 tires is the air contained within it. L'nder-intiation destroys more tires than any other one factor. It causes rapid tread wear and fabric breaks. When a casing is run flat or much under-inflated, (he extreme twisting literally tears the tire apart. The remedy for most tire troubles is proper inflation. This means maintaining

A drop of more than three pounds In a balloon tire before inflation will cause any or all of the serious results of i under-inflation. See that the nut ut the base of the valve is tight and that the valve Inside is firmly screwed down. Do not guess at the pressure. Always use an air guage, making certain to get a balloon tire air gauge for balloon tires. If you should happen to call No. 665 on the Huntington telephone exchange, the response will be: "International Rotary!” For the next year the office of the chief executive of Rotary International, or International Rotary, either way you want to say it, will be in Huntington. Arthur H. Sapp. Huntington attorney and Rotarian extraordinary, is head of all the Rotary clubs in the world. The Rotarian world will rotate wtith Huntington as the hub of the acitlvlties. By being elected president of Rotary International. Mr. Sapp brought Huntington into international significance, for all mail addressed to him from the Rotary officials of other countries; will be addressed as “Huntington, Indiana, U. S. A.” Os course we don’t advise that you call this telephone number just to get the thrill of hear-' ing Huntington dubbed an internal-] ioual center of activities, but numer-l ous persons already have had the experience—Huntington Herald. 0 ._!;***¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ *1 * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* . i 1 TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES I WEAF—Hook up 7:00 Eveready Hour.

WRITES LETTER - FROM AFRICA i Miss Mabel C. Snyder, Niece Os Decatur Woman, W rites About Her W ork Miss Mabel C. Snyder, a niece of Mrs. William Stewart, of Decatur, I who is doing missionary work in , Sierra Leone, West Africa, has writiten an interesting letter to her cousJ in, Mrs. R. D. Steward, of Wren, O. .The letter is as follows: Taninahuu, via Mano on the I June 18, 1927. IMy Dear Cousins: I Doubtlessly you have given up iiearing from me as it has been so long. I have had not the least bit of trouble keeping busy and. don’t ( suppose you have. I hear you have I been having a little wet weather but you haven't a thing on me. I will . either have to get a canoe or hip | boots soon. We are in the wet . season. There are only two seasons here, the wet and dry. The wet bej gins in March and lasts until Sept, i Then there is no rain. lam thor- | oughly enjoying the rains though for it is some cooier. The sun don’t ! shine so much. I had beefsteak for dinner the first fresh meat I have | had since coming here. To my surI prise it was quite tender. It happened to be a young cow and I got a strip of tenderloin. I To say lam liking it here is putting it very mild. I am thoroughly enjoying myself. Have a family of I 23 boys and I enjoy them so much. ! They are a lot of company and help me pass a lot of time. I am practic'ally never alone for some are usually hanging around. One day I thought no one was around and saw a snake. I I let out a whoop and before I had time tn look around three boys wete there with sticks after it. Another time we heard a terrible fuss from 'a bird outside my window but I did not think much about it for there are always strange noises to be heard but the boys did. A seven foot I snake had climbed a tree and robbed a birds nest. Four boys went after it and after working for nearly half |an hour they managed to club it down and kill it. They were not ' satisfied to just kill it but begged ' until I gave them oil and a match. Then they piled up dry grass upon ( it and had a roast. "It was poison past all other snakes.” I am now a bush woman. That is what the people calj those who live ■up country. Am 35 miles from any |one elese and our means of travel is “shanks." If you can walk fast you can make it in ten hours. Refreshments anil water to drink by the way lif you carry them. I have made the trip five times and expect to go again next week as Institute begins the first of July and as it takes a few days to rest after such a trip I must go early. I have always ‘carried’ a hammock team but in coming the last' time they ‘humbugged’ so I had to walk all of the way even to wading the rivers save one place and then a man carried me on his back. Can you imagine that? Some load I say. In spite of being ‘tired to death’ I (always enjoy the trips for they are a,ll full of wonder. I do wish you | could see some of these wonderful . butterflies. Do wish’ I knew how to I mount them. In only a few places the road is straight as far as a stones. I throw. Each bend reveals something different and you hasten on anxious to see ‘just beyond the next’. I am doing a little bit of everything here and not a lot of anything. I Have been in the school room but it

closes the 24th for a six weeks vaca-, lion. We are all anxious for those | two breathing spells each year. I assure you we need them after 20 weeks of close work. Rather enjoyed it. Suppose it will be necessary to teach again next term. Gave exams last week expecting to close yesterday but as the boys do most of the farming it was necessary to keep school a week longer to finish the work. I don’t mean finish for that is never accomplished in Mende land. Yes I am still, yet or again Hiram Hayseed. Am managing a 40 acre ranch but I am here to tell you that farming is not here what it is in America. Here is hoes, matches and blacks. Are pushing the farm work here to help support the work on the field. Will have tons of koko and cassave, native foods, some rice, and they say we should reap at least a ton of beans from the patch we have planted. Have started a banana patch, having 35 plants out and about a dozen more suckers ready. We sure have wonderful bananas here. It is nothing to have them 10 inches long and six around. Some that we weighed, weighed over a pound A meal in itself, eh? Put out about 1000 pepper plants last week. Will have about 100 more later. Today we baked bread. Am teaching one of my boys to bake. He does splendidly. Only baked 55 loaves. We sell some of course but our loaves are. small, like buns. You see I have a stove but no oven’or pipe. (That is not all that is missing either) so we use a 'bake pot.’ Takes from 10 to 15 minutes for one pan but it is small and I can only put eight loaves in at a time. I have only 3 pans so I left the baking entirely to the boy wh?e I laid out more and he did fine. It is the first I had left him alone. He usually mixes it but he was not well this a.m. so I did it. I do very little actual work for I have boys to i- : I > j ''l » tuS ® If quality , and i satisfaction are itn,ij portant to you. you ; l . will surely want RED TOP.

!do it. Have two cook boys to cook Ido the dishes, etc. Another to do the bed room work, bring water and a boy for this and that. It is a real | task to supervise all. I usually cap- . tain a team on the farm, at the same time having my house boys working and sell medicine too. People have walked for two days to come here to buy medicine, so you see the results cf my boys saying "White Mrs. sabbie to sell strong medicine.” Our church work is not what we; wish it was at this place. We have | I no church but the chief has promised | jto build one as soon as the rice is. I all planted. I do not claim to do . much in the church work. Only take I one service on Sunday, teach a S. sJ ; class and have a watch care. If ! they send me back 1 want to organize i a C. E. for the school boys. I hardly I think they wi/1 move me this July as I came here only in April but you | never can tell what a stationing i Makes Girls More Attractive I If the face powder you now use does | not stay on long enough to suit you—does not keep that ugly shine away indefinitely—does not make your skin colorful like a peach—try this new wonderful special French Pro- . cess Face Powder called MELLO-GLO.

I shall ho I™ the ma n who has boon here was here so long that he has almost grown fust. . Work on every line is very slow. I guess we should not expect too much though for they are hardly a generation from alatgery and have tin. minds of children. One of my hired laborers was a slave. A missionary bought him and he has been with the mission over since, a free man but no mind of his own. Am very sorry to learn of ljh« deaths in the family. Little did I rcalixe when I said goodbye to some that it would be for over. How changed things will be when I return. New faces in place of old ones, hut 1 guess such things must be, and when we die in Him to lose the world is our gain. I guess I am writ ing to both Nora and Saruhamlnot? Was that not the arrangement? I may have forgotten. I must close for this time. Am really sorry that I have not the gift to write letters but perhaps some day I can talk to make things interesting. Would appreciate hearing from any and all. Lovingly, your cousin, MABEL*, o ' Gives Lepe.' Census Sidney (United Press) — There are 2.000,000 lepers in tha world today, according to William .1.
