Four airplanes In a thrilling 2,400 mile race across the Pacific to Honolulu.

An electric contrivance of this kind caused burglars attempting to enter the Knight store at Zanes- , . ville to flee without their tools. As Bill Rogers would say—yours for more - and louder burglar alarms. * Mr. Gilliom referiug to affairs in Indiana in general recently said • the state is working through "a great emotional disturbance.” He feels | things do not look as bright as some | of his friends would have you believe. Yes, indeed, It's more titan emotional disturbance, it’s a series of spasms and spavins. A campaign is on to secure an additional twenty-five members to the Decatur Country Club and these ought to be secured this week. If you are not taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities to enjoy yourself in tliei great outdoor sport of golf, you are missing some thing worth trying. J. Ogden Armour, head of the great Armour Packing Trust and of the Armour Grain Company, one of Chicago’s greatest business men and who followed liis successful father with even more success, is dead as the result of an attack of typhoid fever, with which he was striken while in London. His career has been spectacular and he carried a vast influence over the food industries of America. Sincere regret was expressed here yesterday by numerous people when news of the sudden and tragic death of Miss Gladys Roy became known. She was considered one of, if not the leading axiatrix of the country and expected to be the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. She was a modest and attractive lady! (whose daring feats had thrilled thousands in every section of the country. Strange and surprising as it may seem, Senator Jim Watson, the man who recently permitted his stern countance to decorafe ja cigarttte advertisement, yesterday while returning from addressing a church meeting at Dale, Indiana, let it be known while passing through Evansville, that he would if urged by Hoosier'republicans consent to “choose to be a candidate for president.” Now you have it. D. C. Stephenson claims he spent SOOO,OOO to nominate and elect Ed Jackson governor. Gracious, it wasn’t worth one six hundred thousand pari of it but this perhaps explains the “emotional disturbances” we have been passing through. Jackson will havo to dig up a flock of horses bigger than “50-count ’em-50” elephants which I’. T. Barnuni made famous to disprove that charge. Did you read the letter from the Essex county agent ? It was published las evening and told what the

j corn borer bad done to his county. 1 It reduced the acreage from 10U.000 acres to 15,000 and the crop this year ( Is practically worthless. We )can not afford to take any chances on' that happening through this section j , and there should he a determined j ' fight that would cease only when the pest has been wiped out. A committee of Indianapolis couuI oilmen are starting proceedings to 1 impeach Muyor Duvall aud City Con- | , trolller Iluser of Indianapolis. They 1 "connspired to enrich themselves at \ the expense of the city” it Is charged 1 and evidently counldn't dig up a horse to off-set the money rqjsed. It’s a bittere cold day when they haven't something going in Indianapolis, but I usually the efforts fail after a short campaign of publicity and they jump from the “frying pan into the fire.” The name of President Coolidge is being seriously mentioned in connection with the surmises as to who will succeed Judge Gary, but not even a smile comes from “Silent Cal.” It is also being claimed that he has sign- j ed a contract (o act as president of one of the big lift- insurance com- 1 panies at a salary of SIOO,OOO per year and that this had much to do with causing him to issue his recent' ultimatum. While there may be nothing to either rumor, it is more than likely that the president will step into a very fine position. ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1927 by United Press Central standard time throughout. | WEAK, hook-up— 7:3o—Goodrich hour ■WNYC, New York (535) —6:30 —Kalt- 1 ent>orn Symphony orchestra. | WSAI, Cincinnati (361) —10:00 —Congress String Quartet.

This information will be printed in this column under the head “Corn Borer News”. Follow it closely.) Due to an insistent demand from farmers of Adams County for authentic and up-to-date information on the European Corn Borer situation, the writer has agreed to furnish such information for the papers as far as it is possible to do so. It is to be understood that the office of the County agricultural agent is entirely separate from the Regulatory Department in charge of Eurofieau Corn Borer control. The government scouts who have been working in the county, are federal employees and accordingly are not connected with Purdue University. Do not believe everything you hear about the European Conti Borer. All kinds of rumors are being circulated ijnd a person only adds to the uncer-. tainty and makes a bad situation worse by helping to circulate jstories

which common sense would tell anyone are untrue. If permitted to spread unmolested the Borer will become serious A letter from the county agent of Essex County, Ontario, states the corn acre-J age In his county was one hundred thousand acres In 1923, seventy five thousand In 1925, forty thousand acres in 1926, and fifteen thousand acres this year. When It is considered Essex County is very similar to Adams In its Agriculture anyone Is foolish tOj say corn borer is unimportant when the corn acreage drops to only 15 per j cent of its original acreage In four years. As far as 1 know no European Corn; borers have been found In this county j except by Government Scout. Theperson who says he has had European Corn Borers in his cot u for several yeais, in my opinion “Doesn’t know his worms”. 6UEST Dll 10 BE HELD 1110.30 Bluffton And Decatur Country Clubs To Be Guests Os Decatur Club Cal E. Peterson, a member of tlie committee name! to have charge of the Bluffton-Van Wert da,' at the Decatur Country Club, announced today that it had been decided to hold the event on Tuesday, August 30, and plans will be made accordingly, it was necessary to change the elate because it interfered with other plans of the guests and the date was finally fixed after telephoning secretaries of the two clul)3. It Is expected the event will be a very pleasant one for all concerned and the program will be announced later. The ladies who attend and who do not care to play golf will be entertained at bridge and other amusements at the club house. It is the plan now to give a similar day for the people of Adutns county a little later. “Jimmy” Arnold and “Izzy” Kalver, captains chosen for the dub golf tourney, have not yet met to select their respective teams, but will probably do so some day this week. Mr. Arnold is out of town and the drawing will be made as soon as he returns. So far, no wagers have been made as so much depends on the personnel of the teams.

11 . ii Ay. fit' i )W Heads or Tails? The man who hasn’t made good will tell you it’s all chance —just heads or tails — when it comes to advancement in modern industrial organizations. A little investigation would prove that his case didn't have much “heads or tails”, for employers don’t take chances. They fill the bigger positions with trained men who have qualified by their own work. General Electric is a strong believer in this policy. Special training and practical experience are both highly valued in selecting individuals for more responsible jobs. To this end the Company offers opportunities for practical training in each of its larger manufacturing plants. AU employees of the Company are individually fated In the machine fitting as . to P er s° nal ability by several of their superk department in one of the who are familiar with their work.
