Swell weather for the summer resort man if he has a supply of blankets to sell. Fort Wayne is now considering adopting daylight saving or eastern time throughout the year. During the summer Fort Wayne has observed daylight saving time ami an ordinance will be presented before the council in tha; city asking that fast time be established the year around. Os course it’s Fort Wayne’s business and if they want it they can have it and all the inconvenience it causes visitors, farmers and everybody who has to take the change in time into consideration. Unless the new ordinance is passed Fort Wayne will revert back to ordinary time on September 13th. The death of Miss Doran, who attempted the Pacific flight, is deeplyregretted by the country. A fine woman, brave and unselfish, she wished to do the unusual and be the first woman to cross the ocean in an airplane. Ambition is the thing to have, but within a few hours this de- * sire was drowned in the waters of the Pacific and a good life gone. These ocean flights have accomplished their purpose now and it would be a good time to cut them out before more casualties befall those who wish to take the uneven chance. g: - —S! The tax rate of the school city of Decatur will be reduced one cent next year, the proposed rate being $1.39 on the hundred dollars. This rate, based on the city’s valuation will raise a fund of about SIOO,OOO, which amount is required to pay teachers, bonds, interest, repair'and upkeep of buildings, and general running expenses of one of the most important businesses in the community. I More than $63,000 is needed for payment of teacher’s salaries and the money spent for schools is one of the best expenditures made by any community who wishes to educate its youth. The reduction in the rate is appreciated and the record for the year is a good one. ■—R Adolph Ochs, publisher of the New York Times and dean of the school of journalism gives out the following timely bit of advice: “A business organization should never back up after it has gone ahead. If it does it ruins its morale. Before you step ahead, look where you are going to stand and be sure you can stay there. If your progress, ever so slowly, everybody will have much confidence in you.” will know where you are going. But If you jump forward and backward in great leaps and bounds nobody will know where you are going and nobody will have much coudence in you.” The same policy can be followed by the individual or community. It’s the steady strokes and everlastingly keeping at it that gets you there and makes it possible for Individual, business or community to keep on top and progress. Little hope was given to the local committee who called on Mr. Robert Feustel of the Service Corporation at Fort Wayne yesterday, for the resuming of the service on the interurban line. A petition signed by several hundred local persons was presented to the traction owners and the, spirit of the people in this community was appreciated by those in charge. Lack of revenue had made it necessary for owners of interurban lines to '

(abandon lines throughout the country 1 and as the spokesman for the Service Corporation expressed it, the Decatur line would have to go with the rest. 1 The Indiana Public Service commission permitted the owners to abandon t the line 'his month and it looks as if Decatur will be without an interurban ( 11m- in the future. The day of truck and automobile has sound the xieath blow to many interurban lines, j 1 With the corn borer spreading beyond the quarantine line established ( in Indiana by state and federal authorities, it is evident that the struggle to get rid of a crop pest of unusual danger is one that should be continued with extraordinary vigor. In localities already Infested the menace of the borer lias been held to a minimum, but the persistence of the enemy and the fact that new communities have been entered Indicates the gravity of the problem. Left to itself the borer would within a few years reduce appreciably the annual corn crop and ultimately ruin one of the great grain reliances. This is realized adequately by the state and federal experts, and it is of the first Importance that the gravity of the situation be recognized by all farmers. Only by the closest sort of cooperation among everybody concerned. and the most careful application of policies found to be effective in controlling the borer, can there be a reasonable guaranty that enormous loss will not be suffered in future years. Indiana, due largely to the foresight of State Entomologist Wallace, was well prepared to begin the battle on the borer when it entered the state. Both the state legislature and the federal congress have provided appropriations for the work of eradication. Yet. despite the quick and extensive campaign begun against this corn enemy, it has widened its region of infestation. It is not meant to imply that control has been ineffective. On the contrary, sufficient headway has been made to give substantial hope that, with an unrelenting fight on the borer kept up, ravages will be slight.. The smaller the region of infestation, however, the more state and federal effort can be concentrated and the sooner will final victory be probable. The fall, winter and early spring are the seasons when the pest can be killed by burning or putting under ground corn stalks and stubble. The most intensive campaign possible is called for in Indiana before the late spring of next year —lndianapolis News. 0 Special park plan dance tonight. F riday night, dancing class.

Aug 25. —(UP) — Edgar Nicholson, of New York in an address before the Yearly Meeting of the Indiana Society of Friends Thursday night, attacked Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom for his attitude in the case of Edward S. Shumaker. Superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, who was sentenced by the Indiana Supreme Court recently for contempt. "It is unfortunate for Gilttom,” Nichelson declared, "that he did not choose a case with which to test his theory of contempt, which would have contributed to real respect for the law anti orderly government and not provide an occasion for rejoicing among the rum-runners and bootlegers “After talking with many citizens of Indiana iu the last ten days,” he said, “1 am of the belief that with rare exceptions, the pttblic has acclaimed the dissenting opinion of the court, which held Shumaker not guilty. This is true, even of a considerable part of the pro-liquor element down east.” Legal Battle Postponed Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 25. — (United Press) —The bitter legal battle between the United Mjne Workers and the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation today was postponed to September 9 by agreement of both parties. _ o.
