Cut the weeds and keep them down so the lot will look presentable for Old Home Week. Mr. White has decided that fair plav ought to be used in his campaign against Governor Smith. Now isn't that fine? Hoover lands a dozen rainbow trout and gets on the front pages. Howmany do you think you would have to catch to get that publicity? The weather is just about right for ( this season ami the faucet man has , promised a shower or two for the week which won't come amiss. ] The republican national committee received two fifty Cent contributions the other day, neither from Mr. Sinclare. If that doesn't make Will Hays f turn up his nose, we can't imagine f any thing that would. ( The state tax board has ordered substantial increases in the valuations all over Adams county which makes a bluff out of their broadcasting that they favored lower taxes in dollars j and cents. It will need some explaining. Mr. Hoover got along fine with the steelheads ,of Rogue river, but he has 1 yet to meet up with the boneheads t of everywhere.—lndianapolis News. i Do you refer to those who will 1 vote for him or those who won’t? j Bluffton has organized a Smith-for- < president Club and claim to have a < big list of members. Thats the stuff. t Get in early. Every county will have them during the next few weeks. , Gary has three going now and they ( expect to have a dozen in Lake county before November. | At this season of the year when the 1 barns are stuffed with hay and grain, nearly always comes an epidemic of fires, cifhsed by combustion, lightning or some thing else and there is just one safe guard — insurance. Its a mighty handy thing to have if you ever happen to need it. Franz Romer, officer on a German steamship, is trying to row a twentyone foot boat across the Atlantic ocean, which takes more nerve than flying it for it takes weeks to do the job and must of course encounter ad kinds of weather. He has already reached the Virgin Islands. If he wins he will secure a purse of $25,000. There have been an unusual number of fatal diving accidents in this section the past few weeks. Youngsters become reckless in their sports and pleasures and should be warned against diving into shallow water. During the pa t few days a half dozen boys and young men have received broken necks as result of this. Warren T. McCray, ex-governor of Indiana has started a come-back and has organized a company to take over his old Newton county farm," with every indication that he will make good. •He will draw a salary of $6,000* a year and will devote his time again to the raising of line cattle. Thats a great thing tor a man of his age to attempt and he will have the sincere best wishes of every citizen of the state, regardless of politics.

] j. TODAY’S CHUCKLE Peking —<U.R>- -Y o i have to get up I early to interview Gen. Chang Yinwu, Shansi commandant of Peking He receives callers only between 6 and 7 A. M. The Hoosier Motorist for July lists two important matters for those who drive cars and urges that they be taken care of as a matter of courtesy. One is being careful to park so that the other fellow can get in or out and the other is when you come up to a red light, not to stop your car across the walk so pedestrians will have to walk around the eud of your car. Think ’em over. At the moment this is written there is, we should judge, about $42.60 worth of beautifully printed advertising matter basking in our waste basket. We have read none of it. If we attempted to read it all there wouldn't be anything else done. Again we say, the most profitable and economical medium for the merchant is his home town newspaper. It costs him less. His message reaches more people.—Good Will. Plans and ideas are alright. You need them and if you don't have them you get no where, but they are not worth a wooden nickel unless you put them into execution. How many ideas have you in mind, to be done just as soon as you get to it? ' Howmany times do you never get to it? Thats the great trouble. Theodore Roosevelt once said he preferred the men who do things, even if they some times make mistakes. “Nothing to apologize for" is the slogan of Indiana republicans. That takes hard shelled nerve. We presume that slogan includes the record of Governor Jackson who escaped trial by dodging behind the statute of limitation, Mr. Walb who was state chairman and resigned to accept a place in Leavenworth, Stephenson, Mayor Duvall and all the others who have kept this ‘state in the lime light the past few years. John J. Raskob, after a study of the farm relief bill and an explanation of it by George Peek, head of the famous farm belt committee, announces approval of the equalization fee. Senator Moses says thats startling, but after all it isn't except for the small group which for some reason never did care to aid the farmer of the middle west and that group has included President Coolidge, Mr. Hoover, Senator Moses and a few others with the power to stop it. On the other hand Governor Lowden, Vice-President Dawes, Senator Watson and many other leaders of the republican party have always agreed that the proposed measure is practical. • The suggestion has been made by Edward C. Carrington, chairman of the Great Lakes Hudson Waterways Association, that Gov. Smith should take a pronounced stand in favor of the canal route and against the St. Lawrence route and make it an issue. Attention is called to the fact that Mr. Hoover is committed to the St. Lawrence route. It may be that one reason for Mr. Hoover's commitment is that there are twenty-tw-o states in the west that are likewise committed. As Governor of New York, Mr. Smith has naturally favored the route that appeals most to the people of this state, but as President of the United States, and even as a candidate for the Presidency, it is his duty to take into consideration the preferences of other sections of the country as well. It is to be assumed that as President he would be determined by the recommendations of government engineers. At any rate, he would be poorly advised to make the waterway route an issue in the campaign. In the end that is a matter for engineers and not politicians or even states- ! men primarily. Mr. Carrington thinks - that it would be good political strategy t to take the stand he recommends; • but Mr. Hoover is quite as convinced i that it is better strategy to take the » other end. In Montana, where the i governor has excellent chances to: the electoral vote, the people are

zealously partial to the St. Lawrence route, and Gov. Dixon, running against Senator Wheeler for the senate, Is posing as a special champion of that route. It just so happens that Senators Walsh and Wheeler are also committed to it. Perhaps the wisest course for the governor to follow is ? to let it be known, if he discusses the i subject at all, that he will be govern- , ed as president by the judgment of the best engineering genius of the nation. —New York World. o ¥¥¥¥*¥ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * THURSDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK—Hookup 7 pm.
