Claude Bowers will have a masterful address and dollars to doughnuts the Republican papers will find fault with it. A little cool for the opening of the municipal swimming pool, but just wait one of these days we’ll wish for the Arctic breezes. Tune in on the radio at seven o’clock tonight and hear Claude Bowers deliver tile keynote address at the Democratic convention at Houston. There must be something to a similarity in names. The name Lindberg almost means airplanes and cross-country flights and the man who ' rescued General Nobile from the frozen north is named Lundborg. It's a coincident that two famous fliers would bear such similar names. Those fellows at Noblesville have the golf bug. The other day it rained so hard that bathers in the city pool had to seek shelter but the golfers kept right on hitting the ball over the fairways, evidently unaware of the shower. As Bob Qulliau might stay, “that's Americanism.” The court made quick work with Charles Makley, who confessed that he was one of the bandits who Held up the bank of Lunn Grove last March. On his plea of guilty the court sentenced him to a term of 10 to 21 years in the Michigan City prison. No use fooling with these fellows and the heavier the sentence, the better for society. On account of the extreme hot weather in Houston, the Democrats plan to hold several of the sessions in the evening. The big hall which will seat about 18,000 people is sort of an open air pavilion thus giving the crowd the benefit of the evening breezes. Radio audiences will also have the opportunity to listen in on the convention and hear the speeches by the famed orators. Experts claim that the purchasing power of the dollar today is higher than is was five years ago. In July. 1920, the dollar reached its lowest point and since that time it has increased in value, making today's living cost <Jh a par with the 1923 level. Now if there was some way to get hold of a few hundred everything would be fine. It is estimated that in 1927 there were 18,500,000 telephones in the United States, or more than 60 per cent, of all the telephones in the world. They are increasing at the rate of 750,000 a year and the forecast is made than in 1930 tlaere will be more than twenty milliotn telephones in this country, which us proof that we are efficient in the art of conversation and do like our gab over the 'phone. Robert E. Hicks, published of Specialty Salesman magazine is .pulling the Tom Adams stunt on Frank Rozelle, newly appointed U. S. marshall. Rozelle formerly conducted a mail order business and Hicks chargee violation of the postal laws. The publisher has wired Postmaster-Gen-

I era! New to investigate the ease and the charges flung at Rozelle by the capable Hicks is causfftg a stir in Indiana politics again. • With the electric light and power I Industry on the threshold of developments surpassing even advances ’ made In last decade, it has reached the stage where it requires a widespread, comprehensive ami consistent j advertising program, in opinion of J. i E. Davidson, vice president and gen--1 oral manager of the Nebraska Power fl , Company. “We live in an era when sound business turns wholeheartedly to advertising," he said. “It has been employed by great public corporations. Securities that show consistent market increases are those of organizations that advertise. Even most conservative bankers are not too proud to offer their wares in print, and these same financial supervisors look askance at a would-be borrower who does not advertise his product." The Democratic convention opened today at Houston and everything points to complete harmony and an early adjournment. The platform will probably be adopted Wednesday or Thursday morning, balloting on presidential candidates will take place Thursday afternoon or night and Friday the candidate for vice-president 1 i will be nominated. Talk now centers around the naming of the candidate , for vice-president, it being taken for , granted that Gov. Al Smith of New York will have a majority on the first or second ballot. Names prominently mentioned for the vice-presidency are . Evans Woollen, Indiana's favorite son; Senator Arthur Robinson of 1 Arkansas; Senator Hitchcock of Ne- * braska; Senator Kendrick of Wyoming and Congressman Cordell Hull of < Tennessee. The keynote speech will be given tonight at seven o'clock. The practice of thoughtless boys killing birds with air guns, target 1 rifles, etc., is liable to get them and their parents into more serious trou- t ble than they possible realize. Not only is it unlawful under our state laws to kill almost any kind of bird, but many of them are listed under the migratory bird act and are protected ' by the federal government, and this is what recently got a couple of boys . at Loogootee in bad, with the result i that they and their parents were call- 1 ed into the federal court at Indianapolis before Judge Baltzell. There , are many of the birds in this section . which are protected by the migratory bird act of which the following are the most familiar; Robins, woodpeckers, whipperwills, humming birds, fly<atchers, meadowlarks, orioles, martins, catbirds, brown thrasher, wrens , and all other birds which feed chiefly upon insects. By killing these birds one is subject to both state and federal prosecution. As stated above there are very few birds not protected by law and to avoid trouble the safest plan is for parents to instruct their boys not to kill any birds at nil. —Brownstown Banner.

ROUSE "Konjola helped me when I had given up all hope of ever enjoying perfect health again”, said Mr. John C. Rouse, Route 2, Farland, Ind. (near Shelbyville). “Four years of almost constant suffering had wrecked my health and in spite of the terrible condition my system had gotten into, this Konjola made a great change before the third, bottle was gone and now no one would ever think I was in poor health. “This remarkable medicine ended a case of stomach trouble that kept me in misery most of the time. My liver was dull and inactive and I suffered a great deal with headaches and dizzy spells. My back was always sore and achy and I didn't know what it was to get in a good night’s sleep. But now I feel stronger in every way and never have an ache or pain anywhere.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store and by all the best druggists throughout ’ this section.
