Although according to the calendar we are supposed to have about one more month 'of summer. Jack Frost has already made his visit and promises to come often between now and Christmas. Paul Redfern is out to break all flying records and is now on his way to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, a distance of 4,500 miles from Brunswick, Ga„ the starting point. It successful he will accomplish a feat unequaled and the country will anxiously watch the outcome of the flight. President Coolidge might feel a little out pt place when he gets back to the White House, which has been repaired at a cost of $325,000, including a root garden, after roughing it for three months in the Black Hills and Yellowstone pat k. Congress should have gone a little further and added a fish pond. A thirteen-year-old Frankfort boy fell 500 feet from a balloon yesterday and escaped uninjured. He was caught in the ropes and carried up in the air and finally got loose and started towaids the earth. With his luck he might try flying across the ocean. As usual as soon as we talked with a man from Ohio, he wanted to know about Indiana's high priced saddle horses, if we were going to send another governor to Atlanta, if Stephenson would get out and otherwise wanted to know what was going on? You can imagine what we told him. Sheriff "Spot” Hollingsworth and deputies will now fight bandits, rioters and mobs with tear gas, in the event such defense is necessary, this new equipment being placed at the' hands of the sheriff. The other day police dispersed a mob in Chicago during a Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration with tear-gas and practically every sheriff in Indiana will be able to fight mobs with this effective equipment jf called upon. The girls around the National parks in Wyoming are getting a real kick' out of dancing with John Coolidge, son of the [/resident and young Mr. Coolidge is also enjoying the unique pleasure of dancing with the pretty maidens of the west. Because he is stopping at the hotel with his distinguished parents, the code of the west classes him as a “dude,” but he i is just a wholesome American boy who likes to do those things which ordinary boys do. Are cities responsible for accidents that happen on the public streets? The other day a young lady was walking across the street in Terre Haute and slipped and fell over a bad place in the street, breaking both arms in* the fall. She is now suing the city ’ for $20,000, alleging that she was permanently injured in the fall and' would be prevented from engaging in 1 her profession. City street depart-, ments might avert such accidents and chances of damages by seeing that all' streets are In good shape. Fire destroyed the court house in Washington, Indiana, Daviess county, yesterday, entailing a loss of approximately $200,000 to the county. Prac-I tically all the valuable records weresaved from the clerk's, auditor's and recorder’s offices, but the county will

be wthout a court house for somei time. A new one will be built of I course, but it will mean high tax rates in Daviess county to take care of (he cost, unless some reserve fund iis available. As in most cases the county carried only about one-third . enough Insurance and for the nexti I ten years taxpayers will be figuring' how much they ure paying for a new court house. ) - - 11 ■- ■— ~ i Judge Gary left about $100,000,000 1 to his family when he died and adJ vised his rich relatives not to sign > notes or bonds for those who needed security. A few colleges and one 1 church' were the only public beneficiaries of the steel magnate's wealth. An Elkhart woman died the other day leaving an estate worth about $12,000 and her will provided that a tithe of the estate be given to the various churches in Elkhart and charities. Her suggestion was, "that a tenth of my estate belongs to the Lord” and accordingly bequeathed one-tenth of her property to the churches. How does this advice compare to that of Gary's and what would this lady had done if she had fifty or a hundred million dollars to dispose of? s*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Friday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by United Press Central Standard Time WEAF, hookup. 6:00 p. in. — Cities Service Hour.

Parker, Roosevelt's running mate , in the 1912 presidential campaign, the stormiest petrel that ever occupied the governor’s chair of Louisiana and 1 millionaire by dint of life-time tilling of red Southern clay has been rediscovered in a SSOO farm house in which he has buried himself beyond politics forever and ever. Searching for the picturesque figure, a representative of Farm and Fireside discovered him in his frame cottage, isolated from telephones, radio and telegraph stations, near St. FranI cisville, La. He was ready with an ( enthusiastic declaration that “these past four years have been the happiest of my life. I wouldn't go back !to late dinners, dress clothes, steam 1 heat, confusion —not for anything on • earth." | Parker's isolation' provides a refuge i for much-sought public persons such as General Pershing who hides out with the ex-governor in the spring and fall to indulge in duck shooting. o Mrs. Hattie Obenauer and Mrs. Jesse Deani are spending a few days in Chicago.

Busche, County Agent * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦ One of the worst teatures of the European Corn Borer is the fact that that when it ifrst infests new territoty the infestation is so light that one can scarcely know it is in the county. In fact the corn borer can multiply unmolested for two or three years before even a cent's worth of damage can lie done. As a result farmers are thrown off their guard, and think it is a harmless insect- If the borer would work similar to Grass Hoppers or Army Wot ms so that everyone could see it work, the serf-

ousness of the insect would be more apparent. The European Corn Borer receives its name from the fact that its native home is central Europe. It is not considered such a serious pest in its 1 native hame due to the fact that its natural parasites assist in holding' it in check. In addition the people have learned to carefully clean up all stalks thereby preventing the hatching of the moths, which lays the eggs. I The following quotation from a report from the U. S. Department cf Agriculture is of interest. "Extensive observations in Europe particularly in Hungary during 1925 rhowed that in communities where the corn was cut close to the ground and the stalks regujarly burned, fed or otherwise disposed of, the infestation and damage by the European Corn Borer were light. In communities where the Corn was cut in such a manner as to leave high stubbles and where general farm clean-up was not practiced, infestation and damage were very heavy.” The European Corn Borer was first found in Nort America in Eastern -ime ft has infested practical! all of New York, omre than one half of Pennsylvania, approximately one half of Ohio, several counties in Michigan, more than eighty townships in Indiana and all the corn growing district in Ontario.

Anyone wishing fcr 'he information on the corn borer should write or call personally foi Purdue Circular No 138 or U. S. Department of Agriculture bulletin No. 1294. ——< 0 Rev.
