Stop at those street intersections where the signs are up. If you don’t you are riding to a sorry end not only for yourself hut perhaps for some others. Drive carefully. The Marion county grand jury investigating the content of the black boxes are probably wai.ing for cool weather before they get the fires too hoj. Peru only has ten policemen and wants more. They say they don't need them but they want them because Kokomo has forty-two. Well that’s a new way of advertising a city. A glorious rain and just what we needed. The crops are not as good as they should be but could be much worse. Let's be happy and if we can’t let’s be as happy as we can. There was a time not so long ago when if you discovered a woman sewing upon tiny garments you knew what to expect but now its probably just a new dress for herself. Governor Jackson was the only governor who refused to talk at the Mackinac meeting. He should have ' 'told the boys how to sell a $l5O horse for $2,500. Some of them might some time need a quick method of securing cash. Mamma Kennedy anil her daughter. Aimee Semple McPherson, are now quarreling over who is to have control of Angeles Temple. They are threatening each other with telling the public the truth and '.heir "fall out’’ will probably result in a clean up that will be good for the public. A year ago Tom Adams was "an old man in his doatge," a crank, a busy body who was trying to break up his political party, a renegade and about every thing else that the editors who didn’t agree with him could think of. Now’ he is rapidly becoming so popular that the reputation of Lindbergh is in danger. While it will be impossible to secure a low tax rate here this year, there is no reason why We should not all determine to start a reduction program for next year and the years afterward. Bills now contracted - must be paid of course. There is no way to meet them except by taxes and the only way to secure a lower rate is to reduce expenditures. W.e should s ar doing that. We have it in black and white, a letter from John D. Williams, director of the state highway commission saying that the commission has now officially : agreed to visit Decatur within the next 1 thirty days to decide upon the loca- ' tion of state highway No. 16 through ! Adams county. Several times members of the commission have promised this action but this is the first defi- , nite step taken by the commission in session and will we confidently believe I be carried out. i "S'-L-L !■ The road foreman on number twen-ty-four who refused to permit Governor Ed Jackson to drive over a new highway before L was ready for traffic was just right. We don’t know’ of any reagon why the governor should | be permitted to ruin a road that cost several hundred thousand dollars any! more than any other person. Seems' as though he would be desirous of

aiding and cooperating with the men >) * rather than trying to take advantage * of his position to show that he hud rights that no other citizen had. The coin borer lias appeared in Adams county or at least that is the claim of the field experts who are now investigating tills pest in this section of the state. The borers found in four townships have been . sent to Washington and experts there ' will definite:, decide just what kil(d , of animal it is. It the worms are 1 found to be the real tiling, there is I of course but one thing to do and 1 that is to tight it. The corn borer can be eliminated, it has been proven in other sections und the splendid farmers ql Adams county will never let up until the last trace is wiped out. In Decatur, where they have a fine new golf course this year, according to the Democrat, a number of business men are spending their vacations right at home playing golf, boosting the "fat and lean” game, having a good time and saving a lot of money. This same condition has prevailed in Kendallville for yeprs and the num- j ber of local business men so spending their vacations golfing at home in- ! creases each year. Golf is the ideal 1 sport for men and women, of all ages, and deserves its great popularity, so rapidly increasing year after year.— Kendallville News-Sun. o_ -h4i#¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * * ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ *«¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥« July 29—Caleb Powers on trial for fourth time for the murder of Senator Goebel, at Georgetown, Kentucky.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederick M. Alger, weathy, socially proi mlnent Detroiters, have solved the problem by building a $50,000 house i adjoining the Alger mansion 'By-Way,' ■ reserved exclusively for guests. The Alger guest-house is a two i storied, balconied dwelling, furnish 1 ed with imported antique furniture 1 and contains ten rooms with six ' bathrooms. It is reached from 'By- • Way’ through a paneled nreh-way, and is connected wi 11 the larger dwelling ■ telephonically as well. A special 1 corps of servants is on duty. Before guests arrive, Mrs. Alger per- • sonally inspects the guest house as to t books, periodicals cigarettes and ci-

gars have been met. After the gm s arrive, however, the hosiess never | enters the guest house unless "The house is yours, to do •• you ohoose” Is the only rule govern ing th use of the guest house. < oust ruction of the novel dwelling came as the result of a suggestion nimlc » Mrs. Alger at the heigh of the soda season two years ago, when ieieim_
