Dr. Work as chairman of the Republican national committee must have been chosen to perform the operation on the farm relief bill and to be on hand in case of emergency. Herbert Hoover is going to travel all the way to Palo Alto, California, to have the committee inform him that he has been chosen as the republican nominee for preseident. And my what a surprise that will be. A farmer near Evansville claims that he found a substance on his farm, resembling platinum and the community around him is excited over the prospects. If it turns to be the precious metal. Indiana will take on increased popularity and Evansville may become the mecca for the platinum diggers. Mary Pickford had her curls cut off while in Europe and says she is not going to play the part of a little girl anymore. Instead of being the “sweetheart of the screen,” she is going to try her luck at vamping and adds that women are foolish to let their hair grow long. Now that surely will keep the barbers busy. The summer season is here and the city dads announce that the municipal pool will be opened next Tuesday. The pool will provide much healthful recreation for the children and older people and the complying with the sanitary regulations is necessary to the successful conduct of the pool. The pool will be under proper supervision and if the weather warms up it will be a popular place during the 2 next two or three months. — Those fellows over at Geneva are completely sold on the proposition of having a state park with a large lake 2 and picnic grounds surrounding to the - extent of some twelve hundred acres. The plan looks feasible, and probably .« can be done at small expense. An or- „ ganization of Geneva business men . has already made a survey of the 2 project and hope to have a map ready 2 to show in a few days. They are asking the moral support of the surrounding counties. The chief concern in this park is the sentiment that goes with the work of Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter, who has made the Limberlost ' famous throughout the world.—Bluffton Banner. Business, social and fraternal circles in Noblesville were rocked yesterday with the closing of the Citizens State Bank and the suicide of Omer G. Patterson, assistant cashier, who admitted before he died that he stole $147,000 from the bank in which he was employed. Mr. Patterson had been employed in the bank for 28 years, was one of the leading business men in the city, held the confidence of the community and his rash act spread a blanket of sorrow over the city. He was trusted by the bank officials and in his written confession stated that he had been making false entries in his books covering up the shortage. How a man can do this for 28 years and not be caught, is a wonder even to the state banking department. His case is a sad one and behind it there should be some remedy.

J r Every citizen should look after tin cans and all other receptacles that may be filled with water and see that 2 they are emptied. In the south close ® watch is made of everything contain--0 j Ing open water, in order to stop the 0 breeding of mosquitoes. Already huge ® swarms of these pesky insects are l) j making life miserable, especially to children whose legs are not protected as are those of grown-ups. Frank N. Wallace, state entoanologist, said Thursday to an Indianapolis newspaper that already thousands of eggs 1 have been laid on the water and many have developed into "wiggletalls.” These soon will develop into mosquitoes, he said. He urged a general clean-up of all receptacles left stand- ■ ing uncovered in the rain and clearing of downspouts and waterspots. — Hartford City News. Clear the. tracks for the big convention at Houston next week. Already intense interest is shown by the public, although it appears that the nomination of Al Smith, as the democrat presidential candidate will be made on an early ballot. Among the candidates, increased interest has developed for the vice-presidency and after Claude Bowers sounds the keynote Tuesday morning the fireworks will have started. The press associations, supplying the news of the con vention to the newspapers throughout the country are making a special effort to cover every detail. It is estimated that 600 news writers, 150 telegraph operators and 300 photographers are on the job, thus assuring readers a complete coverage of the big convention. The United Press and the International News Service, will furnish the news for the readers of the Daily Democrat, while those who want to hear the spoken word, can tune in on the radio. 0 ««**¥**»*¥¥** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »«*********«s: SATURDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WBZ —Springfield (333) 6:10 pm.

Columbus Man Escapes Trial For Bigamy Through Statute Os Limitations Columbus, Ind., June 23.—(INS)—The statute of limitations applies to cases of bigamy as well as bribery, Judge Julian Sharpnack of the Bartholomew county circuit court ruled when he sustained a motion to quash an affidavit charging Digamy against James M. Hart, local resident. The motion was made by Hurt's attorney, Ralph H. Spaugh, who pointed out that more than two years htul elapsed since Hart's second marriage until the affidavit was filed. William H. Dobbins, city prosecutor, contended bigamy was a continous offense. The defendant's attorney contended however that the act of bigamy did not occur until the actual second marriage took place, and that prosecution was out-la wed two yeais from that date. The affidavit was filed last February by Hart's first wife, Mrs. Edith V. Hart of Ins Angeles, California. Hart maintained he understood his first wife had obtained a divorce.Hart married ills present wife in July, 1925. o , ♦ ¥¥¥¥¥¥♦¥¥¥♦» * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * «¥¥¥¥«¥* *• *¥¥♦ JUNE 23. 1918.
