Swat the flies and swat them hard enough and frequently enough to wipe them out of existence. They spread disease and they don't do any good. Besides that they annoy folks when they are trying to read or be comfortable. Swat ’em. Over in Illinois the chicken thieves have become so numerous that most of the farmers who make a specialty of chickens have installed burglar alarms in their coops. Reports are that while this doesn’t result in many captures it does frighten the intrud- ’ ers away and saves the chickens. Front row seats at the SharkeyDempsey prize fight sold for $125 and were eaglerly taken. Either there is a surplus of money in the hands of some folks or else there are lots of easy marks. Just think of what you would rather do with $125 than to pay it to see a couple of big “rtfugfi necks" batter each other around a ring. D. C. Stephenson has sued Mayor | Duvall of Indianapolis for a million f dollars damages, charging that Duval had bartered for his support in the 1925 mayoralty campaign. Stephen“son’s testimony in such a ease would be quite interesting and it does be.gin to look as though there are a .bunch of reflows who ought to be "placed in one big bag and shaken up. «• The U. S. department of agriculture estimates this years corn crop at «2,271,000,000 bushels. Thats a lot of but its a third of a billion less “than last years crop and small enough there will be no surplus, which "•should insure a fair price. If the —t.icNary-Haugen bill had become a law .the surplus from last year could have „b"en sold this year at a good figure “instead of at a loss. • Congressman Tilson of Connecticut, republican floor leader said in a recent address: “I Co not believe ..there will be any national flood con“trol legislation at the next session of -congress.” No doubt he is right. There will be no flood relief or farm .'relief worth mentioning as long as [I “■the present leaders have control. If | "the losses were in the east instead of 0 "the west and south and middle west, i there would have been relief long ago B but out here —well —they are just not I , interested. — j " The pretty little city of Berne. Ce- 0 lina’s neighbor across the border in I Adams county, like the city of Hol- 0 land, Michigan, evidently believes I there is something in a name and C that it must live up to the reputation I of the country and city over seas.it after which they have been named.! For Hollauu, Michigan, is clean and [ bright and shining in keeping with I the Holland traditions of thrift and I upkeep. Berne evidently tries to I emulate the beauties and the virtues I of its Swiss progenitor.—The Celina Daily Standard. t There have been an unusually large number of automobile accidents over the country the pass few weeks with the cause given that a driver was

I asleep at the wheel, which makes us wonder why we insist on making records for speed and endurance on every trip. Too many hours at the wheel entails a dangerous strain and . beyond a certain point, death rides ’ at the wheel for the occupants of the cur and for others on the highway. • Take a little more time, drive carefull and enjoy it longer. I (1. A. R. post thirty-three, of Bluff- > ton, has surrendered its charter. A [ decade ago it was a strong and i flourishing and important organiza--1 tion but time has caused it to fade to a thin ribbon of blue with but thirty-three members living. The largest post in the state, Indianapolis, now has but 125 members and it is but a matter of a very few years until the last charter will be given up. The post at Geneva in this county has but five members and there are not more than a dozen of the members of the old Sam Henry post here still surviving, the last of as brave an army as ever faced the tire of an enemy. Last night's prize fight at the Yankee stdium in New York was quite a thriller for the ninety thousand spectators. For six three-minute rounds and forty-five seconds the two gladiators pummelled each other and honors were nearly even. Sharkey was on the defense but managed to deliver a number of blows and had Lfempsey bleeding and with one eye about closed. While Sharkey was protesting that Dempsey was fighting foul he received a lick on the jaw and went to sleep. J Witnesses are divided as to the prowess of Dempsey and the question of just how good he is will not be definitely decided until another million dollar fight has been pulled. It is expected this will occur in Chicago, September 15th with Tunney and Dempsey as chief attractions. ■ — o Miss Mary Falk of Fort Wayne, was here today to attend the funeral services for her nephew, Charles John Falk, held at St. Mary's Catholic c’uirch this morning.. -■ I . ■ I ■ .1 I ——__
