The thermometer registered eighty-1 three here yesterday, about as warm | as it ever gets at this time of year. A warm shower now and spring will be here sure enough. The date for Old Home Week has ! been fixed — its to be the week of September 12th. Invitations will be mailed at once and the plans will go on rapidly now. Get busy. Get rid of the stones. It is claimed now that in fifty years all houses will be constructed of glass. It will be a| little hard ou the modest folks but : perhaps by that time we won't bother much about modesty. —————— South Bend claims a population of 128,000, the danger of which is that they may have to explain in two years : from now why they have backed up. j Don’t worry they will have an alibi 1 if its necessary. —- It is claimed by scientists that elephants once wondered over Texas in great numbers but if any of them show up during the week of June 26th, they will be kicked to death by the herd of donkeys which are expected to assume charge of that section of which Houston is the leading city. —————— * Prof. Borden, of Chicago, claims to have a sure cure for pneumonia. He could have received a fortune for i it if he had told the doctors about it last week in time to have saved Captain Bennett. We hope he has it and | that it provides the long desired j remedy for this dreadful disease. — ~ A truck driver from Detroit while going through Indianapolis struck at a wasp and his car skidded into a telephone pole. Dug from the wreck he remai ked, "Well, any way I didn’t get stung," but we would just about us leave take our chances with a wasp as we would with g drive up a telephone pole. Residents of Indianapolis are excited because some one, presumably from an airplane, has been distributing dollar bills. Housewives in that section can't get a thing done for the hunt is on from daylight to dark. If the liberal son-of-a-guu comes over this way we. hope he gets into the sack containing the twenties so a fellow won't have to hunt so long to make a days wages. The crop outlook in this section does not look very promising The wheat crop will be the lightest in yeais. Clover is about extinct due to the cold, dry spring and .many farmers are planning to plant soy beans to take the place of hay. If this condition Is general it should provide an increased price tor the farm commodities. Os the two thousand young men in the state reformatory, not a single one has a college education it is reported Seventeen per cent have no education and more than half of them never got past, the third grade. Perhaps after all there is some thing in education. At least it seems to teach the boys that if they commit a crime they will be punished for it. > George V. Collicott, sixteeu-year-old farmer boy from near Greensburg,

Jias been rated the perfect Indiana > lad by the committee appointed by Purdue. He received a grade o 19.1. his only imperfection being one crook-1 ed tooth. Mias Alice Hunt of Wayne county was the champion girl, her rating being 99.1%. Both were flue | specimen of Indiana health and the I beauty of it is that we have a million morn like 'em. That sorehead out in California who had a pipe dream that he could side track Senator Jim Reed and I Josephus Daniels to head a ticket to I run as independent democrats will 'have to revise his ideas. Both men absolutely refused, declaring -that the democratic party is badly needed just now to save the nation from the "bauds of privilege and corruption." I Great leaders such as these men are do not dodge duty even when they have an opportunity for personal advantage. Now that it has finally been settled that we are to have an Old Home Week and agricultural exhibit, IMs . all buckle in and make it a good one. ■ Remember that the way to do this property is for every church, lodge, club and organization in the county to put on an event of their own and for every family to have an Old Home ; Week celebration in conjunction with the general one. That will make it a gieat success, long remembered and long talked about as was the former event of this kind. — 0 I **¥**¥<r*¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * 1 * OF RADIO * :?♦¥***¥*****« FRIDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES - I WEAK—hookup 6 pm.

Varied thrush welcomes the center from a half apple, says Nature Magazine, and leaves only a rosy shell. Finches and huntings enjoy the seeds, while jays and starlings gladly accept scraps of any sort. o - Birds Eat Little Grain The Department of Agriculture says that certain birds, the bobwhite, for example, eat more or less grain, but the grain feeding is largely in winter and on scattered seeds left in the ' fields. They prefer Insects In the i growing and harvesting periods. The . barn owl is highly valuable for its , feeding on small rodents in the South 1 and on pocket gophers in the West. i o Neat Botanic Branch Ecology Is a comparatively new branch of botany, which deals with the , relation of the plant to its environu I meut, plant kMociatiuu and plant distrlbution.
