"Breathes there a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, ' this is my own, my native land?" Be loyal to your old home town and *■ county. Put Old Home Week over with a bang. One of the biggest ideals back of Old Home Week is to bring our people all together in a friendly, kindly, pfo- * gressive way. Let nothing drift us apart, lets work together for the finest community in the world, where the people live happily and contented. It means so much more in life. We are informed by the chairman of the finance committee that several of those who signed cards, have so <• far failed to make payment. Won’t a you please make it as easy as you can ' for those who have devoted much time in making Old Home Week possible? You owe them that kind of treatment. L. Ert Slack is the legal mayor of Indianapolis. It has finally been settled by the decision of the supreme court on the last contest effecting his right to hold the office. He is making good by the way and has already straightened out much of the trouble created as the result of the few months of administration under John L. Duvall. Now they are raiding the police stations in Chicago and finding plenty of liquor. Os course its labelled perfume, shoe polish and hair tonic but the supply is unusually large for such purposes and the boys will have to explain it to the judge. Raiding the raiders is something new but everybody l>ut the enforcement officers have known for a long time, that such places would be found well stored if the government ever decided to clean them up. It will be August 30th before the candidates tor president and vicepresidents have been informed of their selection, the last event of that kind being the notification of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. The campaign will start soon after that date and for two ... months will be kept steaming right along. Each side is making preparations now and will be ready for a speedy get-away and a long steady drive. In the mentime, it may be well not to get too much excited about it. w • Elaborate plans are being made for Old Home Week and if you don’t en-

about your condition. Hundreds of 0 the folks are coming home to help 11 us enjoy the event, every body here j j is going to wear a smile and shake ’ hands until they feel as tired as Presl ) dent Coolidge does after one of his public receptions. There will be parades and entertainments, and free acts and fire works and shows and plenty of color and the pageant and music nd just a lot of good whole--1 some fun, all of It clean and square. The trend to Frank Dailey for gov- 1 ernor seems to be growing. Each day we hear of republicans and inde- ; pendents who will support him. They are anxious that the good name of Indiana be restored and they feel that Dailey is just the man to do it. We are fortunate that we can secure the services of so able and forceful a man, who has had wonderful experience and who is willing to sacrifice his business for the honor of thus patriotically serving his state. He should be elected and should be given those assisting officers at least who are necessary to do the job well. The state highway commission has ’ decided to extend U. S. road 24. from Fort Wayne east to the state line. ' Thats fine and we are glad they will ( do it. for we need more east and west : highways, but we would like to in- 1 l quire if we may without "contempt ( of court” wliy they do not take action on extending the road from Huntington east through this city to the state i line? We have had numerous prom- ; ises, written and oral, that they would ; do so but so far as we have been able < to discover, they are now no nearer than they were several years ago, when the first promise was made. It seems just a little queer that the state tax board can declare valuations of land improvements too low and give them a boost, but thats what is promised for this and other counties of this section this year. What does l a fellow sitting down at Indianapolis really know about the value of a farm in Adams county? What does he know about the value of improvements in Decatur, Berne, Geneva and . Monroe? Yet the board promises to come along with horizontal increases, unfair and unjust in many instances. , They have in mind only how much money the state can secure and of course the higher the valuation, the greater the amount of money they ’ derive from each county and corporation. They haven't done it yet but the chances are all that they will. . _____ i Senator Moses, Dr. Work and the others who are trying to keep peace in the republican family are having more than a little trouble with those 1 who represent them in Mississippi. ' The other day the national committeeman from that state and a delegate to the Kansas City convention, was indicted for selling federal jobs. A few days later a woman presidential elector who was also a Hoover delegate, was arrested as a bootlegger and now comes Mrs. Booze, republican national committee woman. She is at Washington for a meeting of the committee but when they sat down to banquet, Mrs. Booze was absent without explanation. It should be mentioned that this woman is colored and that the colored population of Washington now declare the Mississippi committee woman was snubbed because of her color. And so Senator Moses finds if it isn't graft, its boot- . legging a,nd if it isn't that its Booze. —Trouble all the time. o CARD OF THANKS We wish in this manner to thank > the neighbors and ft lends who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of cur beloved Mother also the Minister and the beautiful floral offert ings. , Mr. an dMrs. Victor Antacher Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Fox GLADIOLAS 25c & 50c dozen, Friday and Saturday.

While reports show that the cigarette consumption of Ihe world is increasing. North Carolina the largest cigarette tobacco area in the world — has been reaping a steadily increasing yield in recent years. laist year saw a slight decline In the price average for the tobacco sold in the state. The price was $22.00 per hundred pounds, compared with $2.53 for the preceding year.

One week later the South Carolina belt opens. Eastern Opening The biggest l>elt of the entire area opens on August 28 in Eastern North Carolina. The United States Tobacco Association set this date, although many petitions were sent them, asking for an even earlier opening. As It stands, the opening is 12 days earlier than the 1927-28 opening. The Middle Belt of North Carolina — another big belt starts the ball to rolling on September 11, eleven days earlier than last season. The Old Belt of North Carolina, which includes some of the border markets in Virginia, opens tile season on September 25, ten days earlier than last year. o *¥¥¥¥¥•!•¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * !S¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥M SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Network 6:30 pm.

GATE CRASHERS I WORRY LONDON'S SOCIAL LEADERS By Charles A. Smith. INS Staff Correspondent, I London.-With tlie London season In full swing, the problem of the soI ciety gate-crasher, or "uninvited guest" as he in discreetly termed here, has again become acute, ami hostesses are busy devising ways ami means of repelling him. This season the crasher lias adopted different tactics. In previous I years the interlopers came singly, and when invitation cards were not collected on entrance their assurance carried them through. Now, however, i they are present Inga different puzzle I to harassed hostesses by attempting i to break in in large parties. Complaints are made that ilie.erash- ■ ers spoil antique furniture and vainI aide rugs by dropping cigaret ends ■ upon them, gorge themselves with food and wine, monopolize the dance ' floor, and generally make themselves a nuisance at the expense of the ■ hostess and her invited guests. American Victims American women giving parties here have been tlie chief sufferers, the crasher relying on their unfamiliarity with London society to gain an entrance. In many instances American women giving large parties at private houses hired for the occasion have found that with the unexpected addition to their guests the refreshments have run out long before the evening is over. More and more hostesses are adopting the precaution of issuing unforgeable invitation cards, which are collected by footmen at the door. Invitations issued by prominent hostesses like the Hon. Mrs. James Larkin, wife of the Hight Commissioner for Canada. are accompanied by printed slips bearing tlie words "it is requested that if the invitation is accepted tlie enclosed card may be presented at the door." Royalty Not Immune Even parties given by royalty have not been immune from tills society pest. Recently when Princess Mary, daughter of King George, gave an “At Home” at Chesterfield House, her palatial London mansion, it was found necessary to po. t footmen at the door to scrutinize the invitation card of every guest. A gardefl party given by Mrs. Bald-'
