A couple of more men have broken the endurance record. Most folks don t know their names or care, feeling that whoever they are they will probably only be "it” a short while. Hot weather of course, but thats what you ordered. You have been wishing for the “good old summer time’’ for months, so enjoy it when its here and it sure is. Only six weeks until opening of the Agricultural Street Fair and much to be done. If it is to be the success it should be, every committee should be getting active. The river banks at the north entrance could be beautified in tw*o or three days at a cost of a few dollars and it would add about a million to appearances. De Priest, colored congressman from Chicago now threatens to start a colored party and stir things up generally which will please most people who shudder as they gain recognition in Washington and elsewhere. Governor Leslie is still explaining his parole spree or rather trying to do so. He says he will not pardon any real criminals but we wonder what he calls the guy who walks into a bank with a loaded gun in his hand, threatens murder and walks off with the cash. A Fort Wayne bootlegger has been held captive by Detroit gangsters who have demanded $2,000 for his release with a threat io kill him if the money is not forthcoming, a new enterprise by the bandits who have tried hi-jack-ing, rum running and about every else imaginable. National air transport now flies its fleet of air mail and air express planes 7,500 miles every twenty-four hours, a fact that may surprise many. This means of improving the delivery time for mail is growing rapidly and in a few years will be almost the sole mail service over this country, it is predicted. , Several score of people have been ' killed in automobile accidents in Indiana this summer and several hundred injured. That should be the only statement of fact necessary to make . every car driver a committee of one : to aid the officers in enforcing the laws, it is lor your protection that this is necessary. Uncle Sam must have more medi- , cina) liquor and that right away. It , takes a million and half gallons per 1 year to care for his sick and infirm, and the stock in Ihe warehouse is getting low. By reason of the fact that Uncle sells nothing but first-class goods he loses four hundred gallons per year via evaporation. The moonshiner has the best of it—he sells the evaporation. Bluffton Banner. More important to many than the nnfti-atop air ( flights and the cross iolUifry or sea flights of planes is the i record-breaking voyage of the German liner Bremen, across the Atlantic in less than five days, 186 hours. Besides meaning a safe voyage across the ocean in a short time it means quicker delivery of mall and express and is an accomplishment which will for a few years at least, mean more

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Rabrovac. Jugoslavia —(UP) — One hundred years spent in the same village without making a single trip In the whole of this time evgn as far as the next village Is the record claimed by Luka Simitch, local peasantI to a greater number of people than the air records. A number of subscriptions have been taken here for the Boy Scout camp under the Anthony Area Council, the funds raised here and elsewhere in northeastern Indiana being used for the purchase of the Gene Stratton-Porter estate and Big island on Sylvan lake. This is being made into one of the finest camps in the country and there thousands of boys now and in the future will enjoy real camp life and receive training that will aid them through life. No finer movement nor one that means more to America will be found than the Boy Scouts, designed to train the youngsters into clean, manly, selfreliant, square shooting gentlemen and we are glad the people here have met the request for funds so liberally and so cheerfully. Defending two Cleveland editors who were cited for contempt of court after they had criticized an injunction issued by a judge, Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, declared: "The rights of American citizens are that they can criticize their public officers to their heart's content, unless the criticism of a judge in the performance of a judicial duty tends to obstruct the proper performance of it.” That sentence Is worth remembering. Too many judges in this country seem to think that all they do is sacrosanct and above criticism. It is good to have an eminent lawyer like Mr. Baker remind us that a judge is only a public servant, subject to criticism the same as any other office holder. — The Newcastle Courier. MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. After being introduced to some new neighbors, if an invitation to luncheon or tea is sent to them, will it take the place of a first call? A. No; an invitation does not take the place of the call. Q. How may one show appreciation to friends who have given her a shower? A. A theater party, dinner, luncheon or tea would he appropriate. Q. What is one rule for a well-set table? A. That it bear the least number of pieces possible- The overburdened table is not in good taste. Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Cheese To save time and labor when using cheese tot au gratin potatoes and macaroni, put the cheese through the food chopper, using the fine cutter, by doing this all the small pieces which are so hard to grate can he used. Tar Strains Sweet oil or lard rubbed on rar or pitch stains will remove them If on silk or worsted materials it is best removed by rubbing with alcohol. Knotted Thread A knotted thread pulled towards the needle will usually unravel without the least difficulty. o—- ‘ TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat Fie * ♦ Twenty Years Ago Today * July 24 —Niblick elevator on West Monroe street destroyed by fire.

Adams County, Way Back When— Before 1890 ' - A “Story” Made Up of a Group Os Stories About Pioneer Life And Events Which, Collectively. Go To Make Up The Interesting History Os The County. ( By French Quinn.

The Old Timers continued I must not forgot the mothers and wlvch of these glorious old pioneers. I knew many of the pioneer women. My pen cannot do them justice. Ah' you folks of 1929, what a debt we owe them. We, who arc enjoying the blessings of this period cannot realize the sacrifice of these early women. Many of them cultured. All of them we must reverence. A beneficient Providence guided them and fathered them and they fulfilled their mission in the wilderness to their everlasting glory. They it was who saved religion from becoming a forgotten thing. They are the ones who upheld for their families and for posterity the heritage of Christian lives bequeathed to them and were able to maintain and sustain that heritage and pass it on to thoee who should come after them. All over our fair county, in town and country church yards the stones mark their graves. Some of these stones are fallen and their markings all but obliterated but the lives of these men and women goes on, the work they did was not in vain and the inspiration of their devotion shall never die. It may be well for us to pause some time besides some ; lowly mound, perhaps in some tie- i glected cemetery and remember.

_________________________; I am reminded that several yours ago folks seemed to wake up and realize their neglect, of the cemeteries out In the country and to beautify and improve them. This was a fine tiling to do and these places should no doubt be beautiful memory spots with trees and shrubs and sowers and 1 visited with loving hearts rather than sad onee, and honor ourselves and our Creator with an understanding that those whose bones lie there have passed from death unto everlasting life. Few indeed lie there whose memory does not call to mind some of the beauties of good and it is not so difficult as it might ■seem to erase from memory the errors they may have made. Many times I have gone among the gravestones, read the inscriptions thereon and brought back vividly to mind some dear friend, felt his loving handclasp and the Inspiration of his smile and good will and cam< 1 awav refreshed :nd happy. We live in a world whi .• so often it seems that the negatives of life are triumphant, where - . much Uni i pln. ss is felt but searching, our hearts wt find uncounted blessings and deepest gratitude for a benefici(jul Providence. — The End.
