Any way as a result of the nomination of Herbert Hoover for president, millions have discovered where West Branch, lowa, Is. There is always something new, Steve Lacey an Illinois flier, will go on trial in federal court at Indianapolis tomorrow for stealing an airplane. Steve grabbed the plane at Richmond and it was discovered in Montana. General Hindenburg, of Germany, never had the toothache until he was eighty years old but he now agrees it is one of the worst forms of punishment he has endured during his long and rather eventful career. Moderate temperature is promised for this week, which is good news for those who wish to be comfortable during the summer months but not so promising for those interested In the corn crop. It needs some hot days and nights. Decatur is moving right ahead with plenty of work and every body getting along nicely. Lets keep things moving. A new industry would heig cuw 1 would mean better than ordinary times for the next year or two if a good one could be landed now. Chicago is going to build a seventy- 1 Story building which will be seventy feet higher than the famous Woolworth building in New York City. It 1 will be built near the river and will ' house the apparel industry of that western city. ' Hundreds of acres of corn in this ■ section has been replanted the past < week which means we will have to 1 have another late autumn if it is to < ripen. We are perhaps a little better i off in Adams county than iast year ' but nothing to boast of so far as the crops are concerned. After spending more than four billons of the peoples money and conducting the most expensive peace session in all history, members of the late congress are now seeking to be returned to their jobs on a platform of economy. What fools we mortals be? Traffic is increasing as the summer months come along and it is unsafe to permit the children to play in the streets. There are all kinds of drivers and it takes but an instant to turn the happy play day of the children into sadness. Keep them in the yard or on the sidewalk and teach them to use care in crossing the •streets. Tune in on the radio a week from tomorrow morning about eleven •o’clock and listen to Claude Bower's keynote speech at the democratic (national convention. He is one of America's greatest orators and he will .have much to say that ought to interest the good citizens of this great land. A few years ago Mr. Bowers was editor of the Fort Wayne Jourual- . Gazette. He is well known by many here as a writer, orator and democrat. There never was a bettar time to buy or build a new home, which is what every citizen should do if he . needs one. Material and labor are

reasonable or If you don’t care to build there are a number of bargains to be secured through th real estate men. Every dollar you pay on your own house is that much saved and . the best cities in the land are those ■ tn which the greatest number own their own homes. All eyes will now be turned to Houston. With the republican nationI al convention out and over, the pub--1 lie Is anviously awaiting the result of ' the big democratic meeting which i opens one week from tomorrow. If i the wise men control that convention, adopt a sensible and practical platform and nominate a strong ticket, you may expect one of the most interesting campaigns in many years, and that is what most of the leaders hope to Do we work our presidents too hard? For some reason or other it seems to wear them out to carry the burdens of the office. A glance at a picture of President Coolidge taken on his way to Wisconsin gives the impression of a very tired man who may be seriously impaired in health. Perhaps thats the real cause he "did not choose to run.” He will dodge all business cares, visitors and politicians as much as possible for the next few weeks and it is to be sincerely hoped will be able to return to Washington in September, ready for a final seige of public business and its ever increasing worries. Those who are purchasing farms at this time are making more money than they have any idea they are. One of these days and that before another year or two has passed, the prices on farm lands will start to advance and will continue to do so until the price has reached the right point. No one argues that land cannot be purchased now for much less than its worth and its the best time you will ever see to buy farm lands at a bargain. You can't go wrong in Adams county when you can buy land for less money than the improvements are worth. j 111 Those in favor of the equalization fee clause in the Haugen-McNary bill, especially republican partisans, have given up hopes of iver securing such a law and are now trying to patch up all the rents caused by the vicious utterances at the Kansas City convention. How far they will get with this cannot be authentically given out until after the November election. Others will take their cause to the Houston convention where promises of a landslide to that cause will be guaranteed if proper resolutions are adopted. Indiana men—Leslie, Rog ers. Bush and others —are trying to back up on some of their statements of the past week but there is doubt as to whether that can be done successfully. - ... , ■ (J *¥¥¥¥¥■(•♦»¥¥♦♦ ♦ BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * K¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K MONDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Network 6:30 pm Gypsies.

It depends on the Individual temperament, the type, the point of view.

property owners who do 1 not carry Tornado Insurance are, in truth, feeding their fortunes to the winds— for, in the United States alone, windstorms are causing an average daily loss of $140,000.00. The tornado gives no warning and respects no locality. Its next visit may make you the victim—unless you are protected by Tornado Insurance. John D. Stults, Phone 568
