SMALL CITY NOT DOOMED Fifteen or twenty years ago—about the time automobiles assumed a fixed place in our scheme of daily lite —we heard many predictions that the small towns and villages would lose out in the race for retail trade, that the motor car would put the small town merchants out of commission and that only towns of 20,000 and upwards would have and chance to survive in tile new order of things. These predictions have not come true. The small towns and villages are in as favorable 1 position generally speaking as they were twenty years ago. Some have made definite advancement, some have slipped a little. The small city is by social and commercial necessity a trading center. The automobile has made a city merchant of the more progressive small-town business man. The merchant who has kept abreast of the times is doing a good business today. His pile of house wrappers has given way to special display cases filled wi h dozens of New York and Paris gowns, fur coats and other ready-to-wear. It has made a delicatessen of the corner grocery, a spick and span moderfi drug store replaces the one of twenty years ago with its rows of bottles and milady finds her favorite oriental perfume and her choice toilet articles as neatly displayed as in Fifth avenue shops—the same goods sold at the same or at a lower price. The fifteen or twenty ; year advancement also finds small , city banks, its clothier, its radio shop, its hardware and its newspaper advanced further than the stride of a . half century previous. And the evi- 4 deuce of progress spells the answer to the oft repeated prediction of a decade s or two ago that the automobile wts going to kill the small town. The small town business man has met the prediction by moving forward in 1 providing the needs of his constituency. The farmer knows that his car will take him to trading centers five or ten miles away where he can get , what his household wants and what is needed for the operation of his farm 1 at a price lower than in the larger < city, and with a personal service which the larger city dealer can not hope to give.—Lebanon Reporter. We admit that the corn borer, the prospects of a heated political cam- 1 paign, the Stephenson case and a lot of other things have messed general conditions up considerably but fiemember that Indiana is composed of i sturdy Hoosiers who can and have taken a lot of blows and come through ' alright. The good old state will survive and will be ranking right along 1 with the rest of them after the pests have all been eradicated as they will be in due time. j -— . ( Our youthful memories of the men- < tai and physical anguish involved in the effort not to laugh at pt yer meet- ’ ing when something funny happened * as sometimes generally did. are still . so acute that wo have decided not to*i accept our honorable President's cor- " dial invitation to visit him in the J Black Hills, for fear he might have i on his cowboy suit and trip up on his i spurs while we were there.—Ohio State Journal. It Is the first impression of many farmers when told that the corn borer is in our midst to declare it a fake'. Thais the wrong attitude. Convince yourself that the worm found here is actually the corn borer and then help

in every way you can to fight It. If I < what the experts say about the corn borer is true it would cause a great , loss eventually und It would seem wise not to take any chances. It the I pest is here let’s get rid of It. ........ We have no doubt that the tuberculin test for cattle is a good thing and a progressive step for Indiana but its tough that It comes Just when the valuations have been reduced and when we need roads and bridges. All added together makes a lot of money to be raised by taxes. Under a new law when a county adjoins another county which has completed its test, the action is mandatory. Sacco and Vanzetti will not gain by their anarchistic appeals now being made. Many great lawyers and others have declared doubt that their trial was fair but even these will probably not sanction the closing statement of Vanzetti, “long live anarchy.” Governor Fuller seems to hake made ' a careful survey of the case and the facts pertaining to it and the general public will feel that he knows more about it than they pbSsibly could. We have a hunch that when the republicans get through with their favortte son campaign they will center on some one like Nick Longworth of Ohio for their candidate for president. Nick is not so anxious for '.he I job but Mrs. Longworth is a daughter of the late Teddy Roosevelt and just loves to sit in the sun. ED A cheery soul who believes in passing out gobs of optimism opened the door and yelled in “Cheer up boys, there is no hell” and immediately some one piped up “well where has business gone then?” Now you can tell one. On lie same day that Mr. Coolidge !■ made his announcement that he did I not choose to be a candidate in 1928, | the temperature dropped thirty five degrees in the Black Hills, thus giv-j ing every one a chance to “keep cool wi:h Cqolidge.” Plans for a worlds fair in Chicago in 1933 have been abandoned. Per- I haps some one up there has read the I final report from the treasurer of the Sesquitenial held in Philadelphia last year. : o * ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*l * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*, FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES , WEAF —New York 4:45 pm.—Tabloid| Cersion, "Abie's Irish Rose,” with original New York Company. i WBAL —Baltimore 8 pm. —Municipal' Band.
