Daily we are reminded that the title of Indiana's chief executive has been changed from governor to "boss trader." An artist in Greenwich Village is called a complete failure. He failed in his art, failed in love and then shot himself in the side and failed to die. President Coolidge is going to Yellowstone park. He took his fishing rod with him and is going to tease the trout, bass and pike with worms and flies and do just as he chooses. Lita Chaplin is to get her divorce today and including about $750,000 from her famous comedian husband. Now Charlie can get down to work and probably film a comedy picture “On my married life.” The state tax rate will be increased at least 5 cents on the hundred dollars next year. This increase will raise more than two million dollars and the farmer is wondering how the reduced valuations on farm lands will mean a saving to him, when the tax rate has been increased. No trace has been found of the Pacific fliers, although government boats and planes have been combing the ocean for the two lost planes. In all probability the fliers have met death, adding to the list of casualties claimed by the furthering of art of , flying. Another example of the high fost of publishing a daily newspaper is sb-'ti’n in the retiring -cf p’Jbllca-ior. of the Indianapolis Post. This paper was launched about two months ago and today the doors of the office were closed. It was reported that the paper had been losing $1,500 a day, which is reason enough why the men back of it decided to quit and look tor something else. v Gifford Pinchot, former governor of Pennsylvania, visited Winona Lake yesterday and in an address before the Congress of the }Vorld League Against Alcoholism, assailed Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury and charged that Mellon failed to enforce the law. He charged Mellon with being "wet”, one of the largest owners of distillery stock before prohibition and that the Coolidge administration talked “dry” and acted otherwise. He said he was tired of the bunk handed out by the administration and of the efforts being made to enforce the law. Mayor .Jimmy Walker, of New York, got the one kick out of life that many famous men try to realize. He packed up his duds and sailed for Castle Comer, Ireland, the birthplace of his father and rode into town amidst the cheers of the 900 inhabitants of the little town. He made a speech from an old kitchen chair and was acclaimed as the most famous man who ever visited the little village. Jimmy’s father emigrated to America some 50 years ago and it was an anxious people? who waited to see the son who made good in the land of opportunity. J. Ogden Armour got two experiences out of life. He added more 1 than $100,000,000 to the fortune left

Ito him by hli father and then lived [* to see most of It slip away. A person used to think that If he had a million dollars he could not live It up, no matter what camo about, but in this day of big business, a hundred million ■, dollais can be lost, if the tables turn 1 against you. Overhead, market prices and competition cun soon destroy a » • I business and it is just as hard for big business concerns to try to keep j things going as it Is for the small * ones to survive. > > O ,«¥«¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * ! * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* MONDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1927, by United Press.

Silk Skypiece Cooler Than Hard Straw Hats Springfield, 111., Aug. 22—(UP)— The brow of a man wearing a hard straw hat gets two and three tenths degiees hotter on a sultry summer day than the brow of a man wearing a tall silk hat, the government meteorologist here has found after exhaustive tests. » Under the supervision of C. J. Root the local weather bureau head who devised the experiment, a groop of men were equipped with hats or caps of different styles which they wore in the hot sun for several hours. The temperature under the headgear was then taken and it was found that the heads under hard straw hats registered 92.3 degrees while under the tall silk ones showed only 89.6 degrees. Other types- of hats and caps and the ’’underneath” temperature, as recorded by Root, follow: Soldiers cap. 89.6. Cloth cap 94.1. Soft felt hat 79.7. Soft white straw or Panama 77.9. The derby was not tested. o —— M.iny a man's reputation for truthful ners goes lame when he begins to say things about himself. Few women are interested in the study of prehistoric man. Their spec- ’ laity is for the man of today. No man is entitled to credit tor be1 ing good if be isn’t tempted. . Those who say that life is a burden always make others tired. A man may not be too old to learn bet too old to realize it. The average man isn't half so ar.1 j xious to be on a sure thing as those behind the game are to have him do it.

J Guillotine Is Used To Destroy Stills ' Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 22 —(United 1 Press). —There’s a guillotine at . work in Pittsburgh. It’s not used f to chop off heads of convicted eliminate, but to batter to pieces stills seized by prohibition agents. The modern guillotine, located In the yard of the main warehouse for storing (illicit liquors and liquor manufacturing paraphernalia, is very similar to the one used in France. Instead of a sharp cutting knife, a heavy steel beam is used to batter stills into scrap copper. A revenue of nearly $9,000 a month is derived for the government from this scrap material. ++++++*♦ + + + + + + + * CORN BORER NEWS * * By * * L. M. Busche, County Agent * +++++++tt+tttt+ Official information received at this office is to the effect that the European corn borer has been found by government scouts in every township except French. Accordingly it is very likely that Adams county will be quarantined this fall and that farmers of the county will be asked to comply with the clean up regulations. Although these regulations have not yet been made public, it is likely they will ask that all corn stalks be plowed under, burned, shredded or ensiled by May 1, 1928. It is also probable a four-inch corn stubble will ‘;e permitted. That will make it possible to drill wheat or oats in corn stubble, providing the stubbles are not more than four inches in length. As soon as released, the regulations as arranged by the State Department of Conservation at Indianapolis, will be printed in this paper. When he heard the corn borer had spread 15 or 20 miles into new territory this year, a farmer expressed wonder that a little worm only one inch long could crawl that far. The European corn borer does not spread , ,to new territory in the worm stage. Those who remember the old story of the frightful appearing cabbage . worm which changed into a beautiful butterfly, should remember that practically all insects pass through similar j stages. The corn borer has four stages, namely, larva, pupa, moth and , egg. The borer spreads in the moth ) stage. Ordinarily the moths fly the greatest distance in the direction of r t ( prevailing winds. 1 The common heart worms found in > the corn stalks and the corn ear worms now being found in great 1 numbers on the ears of corn Should ■ not be confused with the true borer. Scores of speciments of the two above 3 insects have been brought to this of--3 flee by those thinking they had the - European corn borer. None of them 3 have ever resembled the borer. Possii bly those who think they have Euro--3 pean corn borer have one of these f two common Insects in mind. 1 • 1 This question has often been ask- • ed, “Is it not true that the European 1 corn borer is only a scare which will • pass on in two or three years like 1 chinch bugs, grass hoppers and army | 1 worms have done?” Only this can be 3 said. Since its discovery in America s in 1917, the borer has been steadily i. spreading and has become worse in j infested territories each succeeding year. I

M 54 B 5454555:KW5 i !KKSKKSSSHM About Raido Interference Democrat, City: — For the past year or more the radio fans of the city have been tickled, 1 (ted up) with the word that our City Dads intended to purchase an instru- • mtnt of local inte-ference with radio reception in this locality. Nothing has been done in the matter and for the past several weeks radio re--1 ception has been badly interefered with by some electrical discharge that undoubtedly comes from the city light and power lines. It can hardly be blamed on the Traction Company’s j lines as they have ceased operation. One would think that the power lost | by leakage of electride power into the earth would soon pay for the ex--1 pense of a trouble detecter. If one 'of our streets were blocked making it impossible for autoists to travel that street, how quickly the City Dads would get busy ami see that the avenue was opened. With the thousands of dollars invested in radio sets in this city and the hundreds' that get real enjoyment ftom the programs broadcast. is it not high time that some action be taken to remedy the trouble? Everyone knows that some minor thing can cause this disturbance and that trouble can be corrected very quickly by the city employees if the Council would provide the trouble detector. Os course, there is an appeal’to the National Radio Commission, who will see that the air is cleared by local authorities, but it seems that an appeal of this kind should be unnecessary if the City Dads will give the matter consideration. Every other city around here reports excellent radio reception, why not Decatur? Signed, Radio Fan “Your Health” This Column is conducted by the Adams County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association in the Interest of the public’s health. Typhoid ever “Since the Mississippi River flood and the recent epidemic in Montreal, Canada, probably due to bad milk, there is more need than ever before this year here in Indiana to guard yourself and your family against typhoid fever,” says the Bulletin issue.i today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association. “Such warning should be unnecessary for modern medical science lias made typhoid fever an entirely unnecessary disease yet 150,000 persons in North America have the disease each year and 15,000 die of it", the Bulletin continues. “These tragic deaths occur because too many peisons absolutely ignore scientific facts and refuse to take any interest in medical preventive methods “Modern scientific medicine has devised a means by which all may B el almost absolutely assured that they will not contract typhoid fever although they come in direct contact with the deadly typhoid germs. This is .by taking a series of anti-typhoid in.oculations from your family physician. “Uncle Sam would no more send his soldiers into the trenches without rifles and ammunition. Since 1911 typhoid vaccination has been compulsory in the United States Army, and as a result, typhoid has been practi.rally eliminated. "The Japanese taught the world a valuable lesson in the Russo-Japanese war by compulsory typhoid vaccination for every one of their soldiers and thereby practically eliminated typhoid fever as affecting their army. “Although we usually connect typhoid outbreaks with bad water, we must remember that typhoid germs may lurk in milk and infected raw foods) such as lettuce.

"The absolute balance of Give and Take, the doctrine that everything has its price—and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained, and that it is impossible to get anything without its price—is not less sublime in the columns of a ledger than in the budgets of states, in the laws of light and darkness, in aU the action and reaction of nature.” Thus Ralph Waldo Emerson exalts one of <J>e fundamental laws that govern industry. The entire business structure of the Standard OU Company (Indiana) is based on this law. This Company renders service to the people of the Middle West and is rewarded in exact proportion to the service rendered. There is an "absolute balance of Give and Take.” The concern of the Company is with the "Give.” It is the law of the universe that the “Take” will 1 balance. Rewards increase in exact ratio to the service rendered. The larw of compensation makes possible and practicable the high ideals which this Company has , held from the beginning. Twenty nine thousand men and women are abie to devote the best that is in them to the doing of s a work for the benefit of others because they are t secure in the knowledge that their efforts will receive just compensation. They are not harrassed by uncertainty. They know that their needs will be supplied. Each day they are earning the good things of life by doing useful work that in itself is a satisfaction. They need not worry about pay in an organization where the natural law of Give and Take functions perfectly. Employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are free to concentrate on the Giving, confident of just reward. This means that the entire Company is devoting its energy to the giving of better service. Constant improvement is the result. More efficient methods—greater skill of workmanship—better products— new 3 products as they are needed. Prices kept at a mint , mum by rigid economy and a strict guard affamst waste. The people of the Middle West have helped the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to keep prices low by demanding its products in enormous quantities that make necessary mass production and permit • greater economy. The creed of service of this Company is far from a philanthropic affectation. It is an expression of a sound principle upon which business is built—an illustration of what Ralph Waldo Emerson calls ooe of the sublime laws of the universe ir, action.
