Radio fans want to get that “sawmill" noise out by tonight so they can hear the roar of the SharkeyDempsey mill. Senator Watson is for Senator Robinson for reelection which is notice to Harry New to go ahead and crack his heels together. Watson is also for Coolidge unless he can grab the nomination himself. Its a great game if you don't weaken. Its a cold week in the middle of surpmer wheh some one is not breaking a record in this country. A Texan has set up a new fad by going a hundred and fifty hours without sleep. He did it by living on coffee and cigarettes. Don’t complain too much about your taxes. Over in China the license fee for operating an automobile is 137.50 a month and the lowest price on gasoline up jo this time was $1.50 per gallon. Guess that would make the average fellow hesitate about investing in a ‘machine. From what we can learn of the postmasters convention in Indianapolis this week the problem of giving the best service to the patrons was secondary to how the boys could hold their jobs another four years. Politics seemed to be the biggest part of the program. A year ago today was the hottest of 1926, the thermometer registering ninety-six in the shade, so there is nothing much to complain about the weather. We notice in the twenty year ago column that in 1907 at this period scores were dying daily from the heat. That should make us all feel better. George Dale, the Muncie editor is so loud in his praises of Governor Jackson for having granted him a parole that it looks as though he had talked to some one who had been at the state penal farm. Those who have been there insist that its the last place they care to return to and they will easily realize how much Dale appreciates the parole. Two young fellows kidnapped the treausrer of Shelby county, Ohio, at Sidney yesterday, while he was on his way to the bank with a satchel containing $40,000 to be deposited. They took him out in the country a few miles and dumped him alongside the road, its funny how they knew he had this large amount with him

and that they handled the treasurer ' so gently, hut perhaps the Investigation will disclose the reasons. Several local business men have told us that they expect io spend their ' vacation this year right here at hom i, ; playing golf, boosting the “fat and lean" game, having a good lime and ’ saving a lot of money. Trips to the seu shore, lakes or mountains are I tine for contemplation but the event is i usually ruined along towards the end 1 when we begin to realize what it I cost and what we could have done ' with the money. ______________ King Ferdinand of Roumania is dead. His son, Prince Carol, who refused to abandon his wife, has refused the brown and a guard of soldiers will prevent him entering the land of his father. Michael, son of Carol, aged five will become the king, ruler over twenty million people. When he becomes a man he may be a very great king and he may be a very bad one which thought alone makes us wonder why the people continue such a government. Coolidge economy, much talked about and little practised is perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that he does not hesitate to spend a hundred thousand or so for his summer vacation, moving his corps of servants and assistants out to South Dakota where they live in the finest style. Entitled to It? Perhaps. But what gives us a pain is that he dots It and then brags about not spending money. What his little excursion this summer has cost would pay for all the vacations you will have in a lifetime and allow you a dozen trips around the world. The issue which may be the political turning point in Indiana may be a "spavined horse” once sold to D. C. Stephenson, head of the ku klux klan by Ed Jackson for fifteen or twenty times what it was worth. The governor is now being razzed as he ought to be and the ridicule is quite likely to extend into the campaign next year. Its time to tell the truth about Indiana affairs. Thomas Adams, a republican leader and editor, tried to force it last year and the people of Indiana would have done better to have supported him. He may succeed by next year with the horse story to aid him. A youth with a keen sense of humor got hold of an old nag down at Indianapolis. one of those kind that has been ready for the tone yard for years but just hangs on, and decorated him with a sign on each side reading: “For sale—s2,soo. His name is Senator.” He rode the horse over th? streets down town to the great amusement of thousands. Funny isn’t it, but just think how serious too. Remember this ridicule is being directed to the governor of your state and added to the long list oi mishaps in state affairs the past eight years, certainly does not add to the credit of the great state of Indiana. —— n #¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*❖ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥»¥*¥¥ * ¥ * * * * Friday's Five Best Radio Features Coypright 1927 by U.

BOY DESCRIBES TRIP TO PURDUE James Smith, Adams County Boy, Writes Account Os Recent Trip By James Smith As soon as we arrived in Decatur we started to Berne. From Berne we went to Geneva. We were not lar from LaFayette when we had a blowout and it sounded like a gun. It was soon fixed and we drove on at a rapid rate of speed until we arrived in Lar fayette. We soon found Mr, Busche and we went to a cafeteria and had our lunch.. After dinner, Mr. Busche and the rest went to look for a room for us. When Mr. Linn came to house number 214, he asked the lady if she had room for twelve boys, and she 1 said she did. After I left my clothes, I went with Mr. Linn to get his tire fixed and mail some cards. We went back to where Mr. Busche and his car was parked, and waited a while and when Mr. Linn decided to send a telegram I decided to go along. We went back to where Mr. Busche had his car parked and he was gone. We waited until evening and we ran across them and they said they were going across the Wabash for their supper but we ate at the cafeteria. 1 When it was time to go home, 1 found some of the boys. After we got there we waited up for the rest and then I decided to go to bed. Fred stayed up and wrote some letters, and then he - came to bed. I was about half asleep ' when Mr. Linn came and said, “Boys, 1 are you alright?” and I said “yes," though I was half asleep, but I could ’ see him a little when he went out. I ■ didn’t wake up the next morning till s Fred called me. We went to the gym to see the othN ers swim and from there we saw some '■ men play horseshoes for a while. 1 Then we decided to go to the ball diamond and had a race and Fred i- gave out first. Then 1 stopped run-

ning and watched Simon and Sylvan 11 race. Simon won the race. Then wei] went to Fowler hall and watched the, three men perform. From there we went over where there was some | water spurting out of some pipes and ■ then we saw a chimney In the air and one of the boys »«•<! to me "What would you do it the chimney would burst?” and I said “I would try to git out of the way", but he said he wouldn't. After that we went to the baseball diamond and watched them practice baseball and some of the batters knocked the ball for an eighth of a mile at least. We were separated from the rest of the boys, so Abe and I walked down toward the dairy ] farm and I asked Abe if it was the i place where we had to Judge and he 1 said "yes". Then we went home and [sat in the porch swing for a while. Then I wen: up to my room and waited for Fred and after he came 1 went to bed. In the morning, wop urchased films for our kodaks and took pictures of the send pit and of the steam shovel. After that, Abe and I went over to the barn and judged cows.. I was scared to death, bu; I soon got over m y fright. After that we went to the animal hospital where they were operating on livestock. We were in the t dairy barn and wo saw a livestock show and heard yells. Fred called me and we went to the swimming pool and Simon wen: swimming. We went to the park and saw the wild animals. We saw the Purdue-Michigan baseball game. After it was over, there was a tug of war between the west and the east and the west won. They also had a girls walking race and ball game. From there we went to Fowler hall and from Fowler hall home. The next morning we heard a lecture on “Planning our lives and going the way our plans were.” We started for home about 1 o’clock. On our way home, we had two blowouts. We arrived home about half past 6, leaving I there about 1 o'clock. —o STATE SCHOOL OFFICIALS MEET Consider Problem Os Making $550,000 Do Work Os $700,000 Milford, Ind., July 21 —(UP) —Howto stretch $550,000 to do the work of $700,000 was the problem considered Wednesday at a conference called by the state department of education, at- , i ■■■ in — —
