Indiana had seventy-five violent deaths last week and nearly all of them avoidable. Even though a safety first campaign has been on for some years the people seem to be growing . • constantly more careless. Meet the finance committee tor Old Home Week with a smile when they call on you Wednesday. Remember they are doing a distatestful job and doing it to help along a big event for this community. Help them by be- • Ing courteous and liberal. New York City now has five and ten cent groceries, meat markets and general stores, hut so far there have been no reports of five and ten cent bar rooms or road houses, which leaves quite a field for some enterprising merchants. Nearly seven hundred couples were granted marriage licenses at Crown Point during the month of June, Indicating that its easier to gain a residence there than it is in other counties like Adams where the law is carefully complied with as it should be. For some reason we don’t hear , much about the Tunney-Heeny prize fight to be held in New York this ( month though its another of those fakes to which the people are expect- j ed to subscribe a couple of million ( dollars for seats. Perhaps we have had about enough of this Tex Rickard brand of sport. — I Indiana republicans who opposed , Hoover prior to and during the Kan- . sas City convention are now trying , to patch things up so that it at least won't look so bad to the voters. If all the things they said about Mr. Hoover before his nomination were true and if those who opposed him | were in earnest, why should they turn fare about now? Home Coming is the week of September loth —step on the gas boys—let nothing go by that will aid in making that the greatest week ever held here. The program will be completed this week, the finance committee will complete their job and the next eight or nine weeks will be very busy ones. There is some thing for every one to do and it ought to be a pleasure to do it. The wheat harvest has startad in southern Indiana and reports show it the poorest In years. In this section where we are a week or two later than they are below Indianapolis the crop is small and the average farmer will have to look to other sources for an income from his land. However the crop conditions here are very good for an average corn and oats and hay crop. We do not believe that, the leaders of either of the great political parties are wet and we believe most of them earnestly believe in temperance. Mahy however on each side do feel that the laws should be enforced and if we have laws that cannot be that they should be so modified that they will be observed. This should be done by the friends of temperance and not by bootleggers, cranks or others who profit by non-enforcement of law. ' >

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Kirkwood. Mo., July 9— Testifying that her husband had refused to I speak to her for ton days after she . bobbed her haid. Mrs. Charles C. | Townsend won a divorce here. t , John D. Rockefeller was eighty-nine years old yesterday and still going strong. He plays his round of golf 3 each day and enjoys life more than J do a lot of folks much younger. He ; has given away during the past 1 twenty years some thing more than ’ half a billion dollars which is another I Indoor sport the most of us haven't had much practise in. He is a great man and has done much besides make money for which he will be remembered more. Lowenstein, the richest man in Europe disappeared from his airplane and the mystery has caused a real sensation, particularly since experts claim he could not possibly have opened the door from which he Is supposed to have either accidentally or purposely have dropped in to the sea. The world will go right along without the financial wizard though the price of stocks dropped off sharply when the news of his disappear- , ance was broadcast. i Luke Duffy, of Indianapolis, who , played a grandstand act a few months < ago when he deeded an Indiana farm 1 to President Coolidge, who swore ven gence upon every body and every . thing opposed to farm relief is now i out for Mr. Hoover and declares his , faith in the republican party bringing , prosperity back. They have had eight ' years trial at it and conditions are, ( much worse now than when they started but that doesn’t stop Luke ’ -who is first a republican and after that a natural complainer. 1 Both sides of the coming political 1 battle admit a fight, which is some , thing. During the past campaigns at this time of the year the contests 1 have seemed rather one sided. There j is in the present campaign sufficient unknown quantities to make the guess lather hazardous. Republican leaders , are admitting a close election will result in a number of the eastern states, in Illinois, Wisconsip, several western and northwestern states, while demo i crats admit there is reason for doubt as to results in Kentucky and Tennessee. Most any thing can happen this year for there are new issues and new candidates. Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth has an- < other mark to his credit. He landed j the gang of bank bandits a few weeks < ago and locked up a crew which is I clearing up several affairs. Saturday ( one of the men held here, Eddie Meadows, was taken to Lafayette to 1 face a charge of murder and Charles Makley recently sentenced here to a long term In prison will be taken there from Michigan City. Sheriff Hollingsworth is a fearless and tireless work- i er. who loses no time when he has a worthwhile clue in a worthwhile case. He deserves credit and is of course given it by every fair minded citizen. Harold Feightner, Indianapolis special political writer admits the contest between Smith and Hoover will be interesting, even in Indiana. It will be for the people here are just the same as they are in other states, notwithstanding the fact we have had some rather undesirable advertising the past six or eight years. The same arguments which influence the voters of other states will effect those who cast their ballots in Indiana next November and if there is a landslide either way it will be just as noticeable here as any where else. o. *¥¥¥¥¥<*¥¥¥¥•* * BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO • S¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥H MONDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Network 8:00 Franklin AirHour with Ifor Thomas, Tenor I WEAF — Network 7:30 pm General I Motors Hour.

FARMERS URGED TO SOW WHEAT Wheat acreage In Indiana for the 1929 crop wil probably be less than not mid according to information received by I. 11. Hull. General Manager of the Purchasing Department. Indiana Farm Bureau. Representatives of the department from many sections of the State report that three-fourths of the wheat growers will not have seed to plant. It will be necessary for them to purchase seed wheat and It Is evident that they will limit their purchases to mlmlmum amounts. Mr. Hull urges every grower to sow a noral wheat acreage. Other wheal growing states are confronted with the same conditions, and there is likely to be a decided shortage in the wheat acreage in all the Central States. Indiana farmers should take advantage of the expected shortage in the 1929 crop and pt epare to help provide a normal or increased supply and with expectations of receiving good prices for It. Seeding should be done on early fly-free dates. Fertilized soil will help to insure a good stand and a steady giowth with an increased yield per acre. The Alfalfa acreage of the State should bi: greatly increased this year as the protein crops this year failed materially. All alfalfa is a very profitable crop from many viewpoints. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥«!♦♦¥¥♦ * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * ♦ 1 ¥ From the Dally Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Yeare Ago Today ¥ ♦ ¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥*»¥•*; July 9 —W. J.

"People who are afraid to venture out of doors on cold, damp days need no urging to go into the open air in bright sunny summer (weather, yet few people realize how to make the best of sunshine and fewer still understand the properties of sunlight.
