Instead of having a state school superintendent who is trying to work in the interest of the schools, Indiana ‘ is witnessing a fight by the head of the school system to hold two jobs and making another political scrap around the state house. Among other important events that you don’; want to lose track of is the golf match between Bobby Jones and Chick Evans, which is being held today in Minneapolis. Both golfers have been national champions and for real class the match is expected to be one of the best ever staged. For once a “want ad’’ did not pay, Sheriff Hollingsworth reporting that so far no one has claimed the four pints of moonshine or “white mile’’ found the other day at the fair grounds. Probably the fellow who left it couldn't drink it himself and was willing to let go of it. The first week of September which marks the close of the vacation season and the start of fall activities is generally a busy one. Court opens, school will start, the county council • meets, the commissioners meet also, • tax rates are fixed and a start is made - on another business year. “ The city is making a fine improve- « 9 •* ment by rounding up the turns at Five - Points crossing. The curb on both • sides of the street has been set back 7 and the crossing widened and with X the new traffic signal installed in the 7 center of the point it should not be X difficult for motorists to obey the law • and avoid accidents. “ The congratulations of the people “ of this community are extended to • Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Helm of»St. •» •' Marys township on the observance of • - their sixty-fifth wedding anniversary. •. It is an exceptional privilege for a X couple to live happily together for X more than three score years and the ■“ friends of the Adams county celeX brants wish for them a continuance of X happiness and good cheer. • The corn borer has been found in •» 91 townships in Indiana and the scout- «• ing work is just getting under way. an < It may not seem important now, but • if the pest gets a hold on the corn , crop, great damage will be done within the next few years. The cooper- " ation of farmers and everyone interested in the good of the community • is asked and efforts made to combat . the pest. Practically all the counties around here have found it necessary to increase tax rates this year. The reduced valuation of farm lands in the state makes it compulsory that tax levies be increased in order to raise as much money as a year ago. In Adams county the general county rate will be increased, it is predicted, this county losing about three million dol-

lars in land values. Then too next ’ year is au election year and every county will have to make an appropriation for this expense. It is reported that Clarence Darrow, ,’ noted criminal lawyer of Chicago has t been engaged to lead the fight to free D. C. Stephenson from the penitentiary. Darrow cau do wonders it seems and if he gets into the fight, , things are likely to burst open in 9 Indiana. Stephenson should not be ? given his freedom, but that’s not sayJ 0 ing that others should not be in ’’ Michigan City. ) ____________ ) A new sewerage system is proposed for the town of Berne and SIO,OOO has been appropriated in the budget for next year to take care of the improvement. The present sewerage systeilf. it is claimed, is inadequate and with the new territory added in the Isaac . Lehman addition facilities must be r provided to drain this land. The new sewer will relieve pressure on the present system and as a public im--1 provement it is worthy of support. In view of the progressive spirit always shown by the citizens of Berne the building of the new sewerage system , will be just another instance to prove that the people there believe in public improvements. o —— s¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Saturday's Five Best Radio Features (Copyright 1927 by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout WJZ hook up, 8:00 p.m — National Press Club Program: Will Rogers and Gang.

MORE TEACHERS THAN POSITIONS I t Indiana Has Surplus Os 5,000 School Teachers, According To Estimate ’ Indianapolis, Aug. 27. —(UP) —There 1 are 5,000 more school teachers in In--1 diana than there are teaching posi- • tions to fill, according to an estimate i made today by Fred T. Gladden, assistant superintendent of public instruction. Indianapolis schools alone have more than 1,000 applications on 1 file and staffs both here and through1 out the state are largely filled. “We have more teachers in Indiana trained and hoping to he put to work than we can use," Gladden declared. "Reports gathered at this office from throughout the state indicate that the surplus is more than ! 5,000, with school opening but two weeks off.’’ The teachers' placement bureau, operated free in connection with the state office, has more than 2,000 applications on file. Inquiries for available teachers have not reached onefifth that amount, Gladden said. Inquiries sent to school heads reveal that all positions are filled. Indianapolis school authorities consider that many applications for positions here already have jobs elsewhere, but are anxious to enter schools in this city. They do not attach much weight to the fact that applications indicate surplus teacher material. Advices from teacher training institutions indicate placements proceeding slowly. They report considerable opportunity for art and music teachers. Group 3 Rotarians Hold Annual Summer Meeting Anderson, Ind., Aug. 25. — (UP) — Two hundred Rotarians ami their wives returned to their homes today after attending the annual summer meeting of Grop 3, of the Indiana District held here Tuesday.

Grafton, of Muncie, Ind-' iana Governor, also was a guest. . o— Increase Proposed In Jay County Tax Rate Portland, Aug 27. —The county taxi rate for 1928 wHI be about fifteen cents higher on the one hundrthj dollars worth of taxable property in the county, in event proposed levies in the annual budget as now published, are approved.

The higher tax rate Is accounted for by a reduction of about four million ■ dollars in land va/uellone in the county, expenses of elections and the repayment of temporary loans Istrrowed for the construction of bridges . washed out by the recent flood water. ■ .

Savage, national commander, announced upon receipt of 800 new membership cards from the department of Pennsylvania. This is more ' than 49,000 alcove the membership at this time a year ago, and is nearly 4,000 more than the total membership for 1926. The steady increase in Legion membership began two years ago and today is larger than it has been since 1922. Commander Savage said reports from various states indicate that the total, as shown officially on the treasurer’s books at National Headquarters, will be In excess of three quarters of a million by the time the national convention meets in Paris, September 19 to 23.

HONEY IS ONE OF BEST FOODS I Serves As Fuel ForMuscular Activity And Builds A Healthy Body Indianapolis, Aug. 27—Honey is one of the best foods which nature offers to man. It serves not only as fuel ' for muscular activity, but contributes 1 to the building of a healthy body, 1 since it provides phosphoric acid, lime, nitrates, sulphates, carbonates, . combined with salts of lime and iron, all in absolutely digestible form, according to Charles O. Yost, state ■ apiary Inspector. The raw nectar which bees find in the blossoms is little more than sweeti ened water, he said, plus the essential oils that give each flower its • characteristic perfume. Within the • hive,-however, the bees transform it i into a substance of nearly equal parts , of grape-sugar and fruit-sugar, dextrose and levulose. Chemically considered, honey Is a concentrated solution of invert sugar and small portions of practically every element used by the human body. It retains all of its original elements, which include vitamins, sugar, phosphoric

acid, and a host of other elements which are absolutely necessary to keep men healthy. "There Is an almost endless variety of flavors, ’’ Yost said. ‘Color ,R also a fair guide, but not always so. for | the famous heather honey of Europe Is quite dark, and yet no other variety stands higher in esteem on that con- j linent. However, the best honeys, usually are spoken of as white. ] “Honey is producted in marketable
