Newspaper writers who have declared Hoover a colder candidate thau Hughes now go farther and declare he is more silent than Coolidge. Copy writers don’t like either. If that practise of bathing in the nude ever strikes this country, some of the girls wont have to take off much. According to the dispatches, its becoming quite popular in sections of Europe. D. C. Stephenson has had 133 conferences with his attorneys since 1925. it is alleged by Attorney General Gilliom, which gives some indications that he was in his day a right busy individual. Europe is sweltering from heat, this being the hottest season ever recorded there it is claimed. We favor a tariff that will protect us against any efforts to unload it this way. After an accident its too late to be careful. The wise autoists watch their own driving and , that of the fellow who is approaching for he never knows what the other fellow may do. If you can stand this heat and yet smile you are in average health. Yesteiday was a real scorcher and at times the air seemed to have left entirely. but remember its what the crops needs and if we have to lay off the golf game for a few days we can all well afford to do it. Huntington county has a murder mystery that will keep the police officials of that city guessing for some time, probably. An unknown woman, aged about thirty, was found dead in a woods near Roanoke Tuesday and so far all efforts to secure a clew to the affair have failed. The boy scouts will help out in many ways' during Old Home Week and their preparations are sincerely appreciated by the general committee. They will render first aid, give information, aid the police in hand ling traffic and make themselves gen' erally useful. There is general regret the world over because of the death of General Obregon, considered Mexico's strongest citizen and the president elect. It is hoped that a revolution, now threatened. can be avoided This nation is giving every assistance to forestall such a calamity. For the first time in twenty years, Mr. Coolidge is not a candidate for any thing and seems to be really enjoying his freedom. Now he can talk if he wants to or keep silent, can go fishing or stay home, can express an opinion if he cares to and think what lie pleases for he has decided to quit politics for good. After receiving a hundred thousand straw votes, showing a very decided trend to Smith, several large newspapers have decided it Is too early td get the drift anil have postponed such propaganda. They will probably find

the results of such a teat worse tn a month frqm now If they are seeking Hoover sentiment. It juat doesn't appear to exist. 1 "■ 1 ■ '.

Lets make the return of our folks just as pleasant as we can. To do that every one should get real busy. The epidemic of smallpox in Decatur has disappeared We are glad to announce today. The quarantine was | to be lifted from the Staiter home this evening and we are once more free from this disease. While most of the cases wd're mild, several were quite severe ami as in former epi- I demies, they seemed to grow in seriousness as the disease spread I Any way its all over and every one I will be glad to hear it. Governor Smith will take a vacation, I that is, he will call it that, for he will I leave the executive mansion a few I days, perhaps a week. However, if I the average person had to do what I he will try to during that week, he I would call It the hardest kind of I work. The governor will devote most I of his time to seriously thinking over I what lie will say in his speech of I acceptance, on which to some degree I at least, depends whether or not he I will win the presidency. I Henry Allen, western manager of I the Hoovdr campaign is in Chicago to I get things going Asked about the | action taken at the corn belt confer I ence, commending the democratic con- I vention and endorsing the platform. I Allen said, "its nothing to get excited I about." Isn't that the trouble? Those I in charge of affairs today have re- I fused to get excited over or even I really interested in the farm problem. I A little excitement about it would be I a "duin" good thing for the whole I country. I There will be plenty of national I politics this year and when the time I conies each issue and the candidates I will be talked about sufficiently, but I we should not overlook the fact that I the big duty, one that really becomes I a job that must be done, is to clean I up the Indiana state house. If the I people of Indiana do not elect Frank I C. Dailey governor and give him a legislature and official family with which he can work, they will be making a mistake which will set the state back a half century. 0 *¥¥¥¥¥«>¥¥¥¥** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »¥¥¥. ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K| THURSDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES VVEAF—Network 7 pm Goldman band.
