There is something about the airplane endurance flights that reminds us of the pole sitting contests of a couple of years ago and from which the thrills were rather commonplace. That bank over at St. Henry. Ohio, seems to be as popular among the bandits as the Bank of Linn Grove in this county. Each was robbed three times during a period of two years. A deficit of $90,900,01)0 Is reported in the poutoffke department. That sounds large hut since Its less than a dollar per person, most folks will not complain as long as the service is maintained to their satisfaction.

Few towns as good as Decatur that doß't provide all time rest rooms for their visitors even if it Is a little expensive and some trouble. And we need them after five o'clock and on Sundays and holidays. There were only seventy-two candles on John D.'s birthday cake, though he was ninety years old. Well, the oil king is known as a frugal* man and this may have been the..same cake used eighteen years ago.

Here's a little tip for you, uo charge and you can take it for what it's worth the police are watching for those who violate the traffic laws and there is likely to be quite a number asked to explain in court why they did it. Everybody is disgusted with the weather man but he doesn't seem to care a hang about the good opinion of common folks. If he had to cultivate corn from a boat or a canoe one season he might be more reasonable in the brand he insists on handing out.

We have an authentic report that within one hour last evening, eight cars ran the red lights at Five Points. Thats dangerous for the driver who does it as well as for those traveling in the opposite direction who expect you Io follow the law. Policemen have been notified and there will no doubt be a close watch kept on this dangerous corner. The farm relief board wiP organize next Monday but just how soon any action towards real aid can be made is conjecture. We have doubts that any benefits will be derived this year unless the men can In some way arrange to provide a fair average price. In the meantime the price of wheat in this section remains about one dollar per bushel. The budgets now prepared ask for large increases In the prohibition enforcement appropriations in the next congress. The people do not object to whatever is necessary to enforce the laws but when the chief purpose of the bureau seems to bo how to get more money, it becomes somewhat a joke. Before asking for more the departments in charge should make • jepprt. showing results, then the deniahdi; would probably come easier. - Hartford City is to have a new SIOO,OOO high school gym, seating 2,300 people.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Burlington. Vt. —(UP)—Women attending masses at St. Mary's Cathedral must not appear in "low necked dresses, short sleeves or other styles prohibited by decency," under an order Issued by the Rev. J. F. Gillis, vicar general. and takes much of the thrill from basketball, but this Is a different age than that of even a few years ago and we presume that It the public desires such an auditorium, they should have it. The terrible accident which injured Mr. Ferd Peoples' when some one lighted a match near his filling station in the north part of the city should serve as a warning that such practises are. dangerous. At every gas filling station will be found a card warning against lighting a match, or even approaching with a lighted cigar, cigarette or pipe. We know if we stop to think tiiat gasoline Is easily exploded and that when such a thing happens near a tank the result Is sure to be serious. There should be a stricter obedience to the request for care about the stations.

New York continues to lead all the other states In the payment of federal taxes. Out of each SIOO in income and miscellaneous levies collected by the treasury in the last fiscal year, $28.70 came from that source. The second most productive area was North Carolina. Its return in the form of assessments on income was relatively Insignificant, hut miscellaneous schedules yielded a mammoth total. While the aggregate in both classifications, $251,494,957, is far below the corresponding sum for New York. $843,312,795, it was sufficient to raise North Carolina above Illinois and Pennsylvania, next in that order in the list, with California, Michigan and Ohio ranking as named. —Indianapolis News.

INDIAN A’S CHOICE FOR THOMAS EDISON SCHOLARSHIP “KNOWS HIS GROCERIES”

Butler, Ind . July 12—(UP) Beranrd Sturgis, the Indiana boy best fitted to follow in the footsteps of Thomaxt Edison, knows "quite a bit" about batteries, ever so much more about groceries—-but never even heard of Edison's famous questionnanire. Further than that he isn’t greatly concerned about the matter of the questionnaire even after it was explained that it was a list of questions in which Edison challenged the intelligence of the millions of boy;-, who admit that the were educated in the better colleges. His chief concern at present is in butter, coffee and beans. Bernard is 17, and rather tall for his age. His father, George Sturgis, owns the grocery store in Butler. Bernard decided after* winning the state Edison contest that he'd rather work in the grocery for the summer until lie goes east in August to take the final examinations at the Edison laboratories in East Orange. N. J. He went out for sports while in high school, but never made the varsity in any branch. And of course on Saturdays ho worked.

SCHOOLMA’MS MAY SMOKE, BUT NOT BEFORE PUPILS—CALIFORNIA RULE

By Elwood Squires United Press S’aff Correspondent) Sacramento, Cal., July 12—(UP)—If the modern California “school mam wants to inhale her favorite cigarette after a hard day in the classroom it’s perfectly alright, says Vierltog Kersey, state director of education. But she mu-.t,do it within the confines of her own home, away from any influence it might have on the schoolchildren, added Kersey. Hiving down the dictum that once a teacher, man oi woman, is outside any influence they might cast on their pupils, their actions regarding use of tobacco need only be governed by their wishes, Kersey has starteled educational circles in California. With many school district warnings that they wil dism.iss women teachers who -smoke, Kersey's statement lias arounsed conslderattle’ interest through! the StateH J , ' j "No question bit what, there is nior| smoking among women, both in professional and social life than there was 10 years ago," Jaid Kersey, “Many institutions training teacher..* are now equipping womens smoking rooms. “i believe that what one does In thetr strictly private, life in respect to smoking makes no difference. But If their private conduct should promote ! a laxity in the personal habits of their ;

Up to that point Bernard is pretty much the average boy that you find in any little Hoosier town with a population of 1,745. But from that point on Bernard is anything but average. When the little group of boys and girls had their commencement exercises at the Butler high school last month, Bernard delivered the valedictory address. Why shouldn't he? He had an average grade for the full four-year course of 1)8 per cent. "I always liked the science courses better than the others,” he said. '"Especially physics — physics deals i with mechanical changes, you know and that includes electricity. i Chemistry is Interesting, too. 'I) d 1 ever invent anything? Yes, I did. "It was a chronograph. Il had some special little features that I i thought up and — “What is a chronograph?" "Well, it’s an instrument for meas- - tiring very small standards of time. It’s operated by electrlcty- and it makes it very simple to register such !degree: as one-sixtieth of a second. It's more efficient than a stop watch would be in such matters.”

pupils 1 would say that smoking by teachers i§ wrong. “There'ls but one stand that teachers can possibly take on. the use of tobacco by youth—and that is empha-l tie-ally against the habit. But it' the women foaohor= of the state believe that they can smoke in their private life and yet not influence their charges in the classroom I wouldn't deny the right to any teache:. If using tobacco In her private life makes her careless then it is time she stopped.” Efforts to stop women teachers from using tobacco by signing an affidavit that they would refrain from the practice has not been successftfl, Kersey declared. He cited the case of Lob Angeles, where both men and women instructors a*.e required to sign tha pledge. Such utempts usually have resulted in a wide difference of opinion among the citizens and is probably ineffectual in stopping the habit, Ker-i sey, conchided. ‘I f — * O —a- - 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria.
