Physicians say that the only precaution against infantile paralysis Is to stay away from crowds in those * sections where the disease Is apparw ent. Why don’t they have those who propose to tly from America to Europe first fly an equivalent distance on land? A< least we would know then that they could do it with a break of luck. * Don't be envious of the men who make millions or billions of dollars. They can't take it with them and after all they must spend most of it in such away that others are employ- % ed and made happy. If James Whitcomb Riley and Hill Nye were with us now we imagine James Whitcomb would move away from Indiana and Bill would go there to live for a while, to gey material. — Ohio State Journal. e-.n_ 1 ----- First they offer large purses to induce them to fly across the ocean and then offer larger ones for their rescue. It may be adding to science and progress but its certainly expensive. About twenty brave men and women have given their lives the past month. - Bank bandits seem to have changed ” their tactics and instead of walking “ in during broad daylight with a six- ” shooter 'in each hand they have re- - turned to the old-fashioned method of - using torch and glycerine. Its no such a thrill but seems safer. A Wells county bachelor, aged *' seventy-eight years, was married here yesterday. Thats not too late, espec- - i - laHy sin.-e he was wise enough to select an Adams county lady to Pel his wife, but think of the comfort and ~ joys he has missed all these years. * r— - Wonder if the English lady who has been arrested about two hundred times is any relation to Bismark, the • glass eater, Or some of the other « characters we used to have around here. Renumber when they were regularly sent up for ten days about * every two weeks? The weather bureau probably overlooked September when they predicted there would be no summer. Yesterday there were three deaths in Chicago and a number elsewhere. The thermometer registered eightynine in Evansville and -out in lowa and Kansas the mercury bit the ninety-two mark. President Coolidge will return to the capitol Monday to get ready for „ ebngress, plan for flood relief four or five months late ami for farm relief " two or three years late, but its much ' better now than never so let 'er come ♦ and may it be bountiful. The president has had a good long rest and ought to be fit for any fight he " “Chooses” to make. We are informed that the state „ highway commission has repaired Mud Pike which was used as a detour while the road be'ween here and ■* Monroe was being rebuilt and that the pike is.now in splendid'condition J * This is appreciated and now it thej • city will fix up Line street so it is! Z equally as good, we are sure every- « body will bd happy. Babe Ruth and Gehrig are still hitt-

1 ing them out of the lot. Babe has 1 forty-nine homers and Gehrig Is only four behind. Its wonderful that they both belong to the same team, the New York Yanks, and they are not I the only four-base hitters with that nine but the -uuoat wonderful thing . about it is that Babe Ruth can still do it. Talk about Dempsey or any of the other boys coming back —they're ‘ hot in it with the king of swat. > Editor Gurley of the Indianapolis 1 Times replied to Governor Jackson's t recent note, admitting he had urged ' the appointment of James McDonald I as prosecuting attorney of Marion county but denied that he offered McCray SIO,OOO, with a challenge that Jackson appear before the Marion county grand jury and make his statement under oath. He insisted that one of the two was guilty of slander, perjury and other things and dared , the governor to come up and make ■ good To this challenge Mr. Jackson . refuses to pay any attention. You may have your own conclusions and express them or not, but to us it looks queer, very suspiciously queer. The democratic state committee and leaders of the party in Indiana will meet at the new state park at James Lake next Wednesday and Thursday. The republican committee has had a number of meetings there and evidently Chairman Peters wants to show the folks in northeastern Indiana that there are democrats who can talk. It should be a verydelightful session as well as one of benefit to the political party these men represent. Among the speakers .'will be the Hon. Evans Woollen and the Hon. Albert Stump, both of whom were candidates for the United States senate in the last election. The name of-Mr. Woollen is being frequently mentioned among the presidential possibilities. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * ' OF RADIO * ****** *_* ***** Friday's Five Best Radio Features' Copyright 1927 by United Press Central Standard Time NAU, Arlington, Va., 440.3, 7 p. m.— 47th concert of Latin-Amer-ican Music; Esplanade of the Fan-American Union.

Motorist Pinned Under Auto On Railway Tracks; Train Flagged By Farmer Wabash, Ind., Sept. 9. — (UP)—Karl Daugherty today may look back ona novel experience, which z migh well have furnished a m-ivle director with ills "big scene." While driving toward this city, the steering apparatus on Daugherty s j car broke, upsetting the machine on the Wabash railroad tracks. Daugherty was caught beneath the car and was unable to extricate himself. Just then the whistle of an approaching locomotive sounded. William Houston, living near the scene of the accident, grasped the situation and ran to the tracks. He flagged the train which came to a stop a few feet from the over turned automobile. Daugherty was taken from under the car and it was found that a cut on the head was his only injury. —o Special Bed Provided For 300-Pound Woman Bootlegger In Lockup Hibbing, Minn., Sept, 9. — (UP) — “Big Mary” Madich, 300-pound “lady bootlegger”, ■ according to officers, has fallen athwart the law for a second time but this time the law was prepared for her.
