Just warm enough and just cool enough to be comfortable. With both Mr. Hoover and Governor Smith taking a rest there Is no reason why the rest of ns shouldn't do likewise. Wc perhaps ean't go to the seashore but we can think ahout something besides polities. The Old Home Week boosters would ' like to find a couple desiring to be 1 married in public during the big 1 week, promising them all kinds of gifts and plenty of guests to throw rice. They might take it up with | Peggy Joyce. . Mrs. Coolidge wishes to go to Yellow Stone Park before returning 1 to the White House while the president prefers to stay on the Brule and fisli. Now we shall see who Is boss J in (hat family. »—>— h y If every family and every church 1 . t and every lodge in this community would plan a reunion during Old Home Week, it would prove a great feature. All you have to do is to . arrange to house the folks and then entertain them on the midway. \ Democrats and republicans will take a poll of the voters prior to . I 1 September Ist thus ascertaining to r some extent at least, just “who's who and why,” but that doesn't mean * r lliat you will be given the “low down” j; on how the election will result. — c Don’t hang back, don't knock, don’t 1 try to prevent Old Home Week from being a success. Pay a little of the B cost, help a little on details, get ready c to give the glad hand to the old * timers and the people who will make 8 up the crowds. 1 Mayor Thompson will try to beat his enemies to it by firing a number of his official family whom he claims v have been unfaithful to the trust im- h posed in them. He may turn out to be ’ just the fellow they are looking for 1 to clean up the city which has attain- 1 ed a discolored reputation. , t One of the big events of Old Home * Week will be the pageant, “Adams 1 County, Yesterday and Today.” it 1 will be the story of thtg community * in pantomine with a couple of liun- 1 dred children and adults taking part. " Work will begin at once and It will 1 be one of the events worth seeing. S There will be many others but this < is one that you want to jot down. The campaign of Frank Dailey for 1 governor continues to grow in interest 1 and each day brings new converts to 1 the ranks of the army now seeking to I place that distinguished and able 1 citizen in the executive chair. Young ; men’s clubs are being organized over the state and within a month there will be plenty doing. Dick Heller of this city is In charge of that work and is meeting wtth success. By the way, while making your plans this sear, remember that you cannot vote by absent voters ballot. The recent legislature among other things of note, repealed that very convenient law. If you wish to vote you must present yourself at the booth and look after that duty yourself and in person. Issues this year

Duckworth, chief of the bureau of t dairy control. will be sharply drawn and you will surely desire to take your part as a z 1 citizen of the United States. Plau to ? vote. i ) r—: J There Is to be no mud-sllnglng in I the coming campaign, declare the louders, but look out for the dust. Sometimes they throw It In your eyes in such quantities that you can’t see the real issues. The great and important problem now confronting the people, Is how to restore such a measure of good times, that farmer, merchant, laboring man and every other class will again be prosperous and happy. Thats what makes a happy people. George Remus, king of the bootleggers, who shortly after his release from the Atlanta prison, murdered his wife, was acquitted on the grounds of insanity and then proven sane and released is now fighting to prevent his deportation as an alien. After all if they could ship him away so far he can't get hack for twenty years, it might be the best means of getting rid of him. He is at best an undesirable citizen. Senator Watson says the HaugenMcNary bill ought to become a law, but can't if Mr. Hoover is elected president. Henry Marshall of Lafayette, manager for Harry Leslie, republican nominee for governor, says the law never ought to be enacted with an equalization fee. The party is about evenly divided on the subject, so there you are. The farmers have been deserving relief for eight years past. They haven't got any thing. Its up to them to say whether or not they desire to fight it out on the old lines. ■ 1 1,1 1 i . R. Earl Peters, state chairman and Charles A. Greathouse, national committeeman, have gone to New York where they are today conferring with John J. Raskob and other democratic leaders, concerning the national campaign to be made in Indiana. That they will succeed in convincing the powers that be that the Hoosier state is now as it always has been, a firstclass fighting ground, is assured. Plans will be made for an old fashioned campaign in this state, with hopes of converting it into the democratic column. Already much organization work has been accomplished and this will go on, gaining momcmtum as the battle progresses. It is expected that Gene Tunney, heavy wieght champion of the world will retire from the ring, offering his statement to that effect early this week. Why shouldn’t he? There is nothing more to be gained. He has made a fortune during the couple of years he has worn the belt. He is the acknowledged champion. He is sensible to quit now while he has the honor and wise in not continuing until he has been severely beaten, a fate that is sure to come sooner or later. Ills retirement will permit Tex Rickard to work up a scrap in which the results will make the fans guess and that always assures a better crowd at the ringside. If the average newspaper man is a liar, says an iowa exchange, he generally lies to protect his community, if a boy goes out. into the world and gets into trouble, the home newspaper says lie was a good boy until he got away and got into bad company. If the town’s tightwad who hugged his pennies to his bosom in life, dies, the newspaper throws a mantle of charity over him and says he hated wastefulness and his hate for useless spending made him overcareful in his investments and his charities. If the town gossip dies, the outstanding weakness is forgotten or overlooked and the editor proceeds to tell how she visited the sick and afflicted, and winds up by saying she was a good neighbor. If the home team goes away from hotre and gets the daylight whipped out of them, the home

—I town editor tells the unsuspecting world that the team was made of sec-ond-string players. The editor Isn't a liar from choice. The truth struggles in hU manly breast, same us it does In the village preacher, but the pride of Ills community and the fear of the irate subscriber, makes him a Z trembling rabbit, and he lies to save I the local pride of the town. Still it's j a groat life if you don't weaken. o ******f****** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * I k***********« 1 MONDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES .
