Perhaps Senator Jimmy Watson had his head out of the car window looking for Hoover farmers when that cinder struck him. The heat wave of the past few days has caused many to collapse and a large number of deaths. The only thing that can be advised is to be careful of what you eat and drink and do. President Calles of Mexico desires to leave office and we don’t blame him. If we held such an office in that country and could get out with a whole hide we would not only leave office but probably would enjoy a trip to the oilier side of the universe. Charles Evans Hughes has been named to succeed John Hassett Moore on the World Court and it would have been difficult to make a better selection. Mr. Hughes is a great lawyer, a statesman, a thinker and a careful diplomat. Plans for Old Home Week which will convince every one in this community that it is to be a real-for-sure event, one that will attract thousands each day and will provide a solid six days of clean and wholesome pleasure. A million dollar cargo of whiskey 1 was nabbed yesterday off New York 1 and just for information we would ■ like to know how much liquor that 1 was. The contraband was in kegs ' hidden under barrels of pickled herr- 1 ing and was brought from Halifax on 1 the liner Nehissa. Work of constructing the concrete ' road from the Adams county line to . Fort Wayne will begin Monday, it is ( announced. That’s fine and we hope 1 they get through before the snow 1 falls. In the meantime you will have to use the River toad or the old Wayne Trace for your trips north. Thomas Edison claims to have found away to produce rubber from weeds. Won't tiiat be tine for the owners of vacant lots? Suppose some of the American farmers will be knocking the corn out of the fields to save the weed crop. How times dp change. ■' ■ The Old Home Wqpk general committee will meet every night if necessary to put the event over. This decision Is wise for right now is the time to complete all plans and get them working. A little work now will save a lot of hustle and bustle about the second week of September and will* assure a better occasion. Most folks will agree with Governor §mlth, whether they intend to vote for him or not, that his decision to reduce the number of national boards and commissions, will be wise. He did the same thing as governor of New York and has what is admitted to be the best governored state in the union. The prognosticator of a long, hard winter is out early. He is the guy who figures his dope from the fact that honey bees are restless and hard to control. They Insist on wandering from home and the old timers declare that Is a sure and "sartin" sign that

the coming winter will be one of the p old fashioned kind that just keeps getting eolder and colder. The supreme court of Indiana got busy yesterday, handing down three r’ decisions of more or less Importance, it They decided that Dr Shumaker must r serve sixty days In the penal farm and pay a ting of $250 for criticizing the court as being "wet." They also 2 decided that D. C. Stephenson is not 11 entitled to a rehearing on his writ of o 5 habeas corpus to get out of prison # aud dismissed the appeal of Ira i Holmes, blasting his hopes to become 1 mayor of Indianapolis. Each of the cases had attracted much attention during the past year and each may have some influences in coming affairs. Fifteen of the great nations of the world have signed the anti-war pact, for which the people of this and every country included will be profoundly glad. War at best is every thing that Sherman claimed for it and more. It brings sorrow to individuals ami chaos to many governments and its all so useless. Disagreements between nations in this day and age can and should be adjudicated as ara difficulties between individuals or corporations. It is to be hoped that back of this pact will stand the citizens of every country to such a degree that future wars will be impossible. The Hoosier State Automobile Association which has worked incessantly and with good -esults for the benefit of the motorists is now trying To determine from a "horse sense” point of view, whether the state should have an intelligence test in connection with securing a driver's license or not. They are also trying to plan some way of establishing a legal requirement for at least some financial responsibility without having compulsory automobile insurance. Both are important subjects but the public has faith the able officials of the association will work them out satisfactorily. We sympathize with the partisan republicans these days. They almost hate to pick up a newspaper for fear of learning that some leader of national prominence has forsaken the old ship. And we feel we can extend sympathy for we know, having had experiences the past thirty years, just how depressing such things are. Recent converts to the Smith camp include Thomas P. Moffat of Brooklyn who was minister to Nicaragua under President Taft and preconveution manager for Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. It is believed by many that even Governor Lowden himself may join the throng of happy warriors and there are numerous others besides those who will just retuse to take part in the campaign.

When A Feller Gets A Letter From His Old Home Town When a feller gets .1 letter from his Old Honjf Town Telling him he's needed back there to help celebrate, That the roll is being called for "Old Home Week’’ He-fills will emotion, marks his calendar at that date. Yep! We know the Decatur spirit, it’s "Can and Will” And are confident you'll put on a great big show. We would miss some of the good Decatur hospitality If we should happen to fail to’ be there you know. Memories, yes lots of ’em and pleasant ones it seems, St'll the passing of years doesn’t dim 'em at all. Remember 'way back when Place's Creams-Decatur’s team Had 'em ail skinned when it came to playing baseball? Tho«e were great days, and on winter Sunday afternoons When the ice on the OltFSt. .Marys was awful thick. We’d skate and skate 'way down to Elephant Rock — That was some distance to skate, don’t you think? But Old Elephant Rock has now been put to a better purpose Than even nature seems to have prepareif— Ami other memories equally as great and dear. We know by other former residents, are shared. Yep! We're all coming back to Old Decatur To lend a hand and all our old friends seek, For it is sure one green spot on this old earth That should be crowded during "Old me Week ” Earl E. Snow, 2233 N.

RECORD OATS YIELD FORECAST | Willshire, Ohio, July 21 The annual I record acreage of oats sown In the I stall, prospect, on July 1 in'Uoited |a record production season o 86,012,000 bushels, or 77 per con more than hist year, according to the statec rop report announced today b) the department of agricultural stalls tics of the Purdue University agrii it ■ tural experiment station, co-operating with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The increase in oats acreage sown over last year i* 30 per cent, most of It being due to the tact that Hie loss of wheat i'll the winter left an unustutly large amount of laud lot spring seeding. 52 per cent of which was put in oats. The 2.532.000 acres of oats now standing have a condition nine points above average and 11 points above last year. '1 he largest previous crops on record, those of 1917 and 1918, were each a million bushels smaller than the present prospects. ('em acreage in the state in 100,000 acres larger than the average of the past five years, and its condition better than last year, the production forecast being 24 per cent larger than last year's harvest. Thirty-one per cent of the reseeded wheat ground was put in corn. Although only 35 per cent of the winter wheat sown last fall is still standing, the response of the crop to favorable weather conditions during June raised the production prospects 1.144,000 bushels during the month. However, even with the improvement in condition, the forecast is only 30 per cent of last year's production. Spring wheat sowing was greatly increased this year, the spring varieties comprising almost four per cent of the total wheat crop. Barley prospect's are like oats, 77 per cent better tha nlast year, but while its condition is slightly better than last year and the average, the principal difference is in the acreage, wltk-h is estimated as 60 per cent larger than last season. Rye acreage, due to heavy losses during the winter is the smallest in the past fifteen years, but Ute acreage of the potato, tobacco and soybean crops have all materially increased over last year's marks.
