Crops are looking better than a tew days ago and much of the oats and corn that looked doomed now have a better than even chance for a normal production. That will help. Chief Wensley of Scotland Yards has retired and says he would be glad to take a hand in cleaning Chicago of her gangland. He would probably find that criminals in England are not nearly so resourceful as those in the Windy City. The Industrial board have made some new rules r raiding the use of headquarl rs. Evet y organization caring to use thesi rooms are welcome to do so but they should see that the room . are left in as good as condition as found and this will be required. -

The agricultural street fair September 10th to 14th can also be made an old home week if we want it to be that. If we invite the folks back for that occasion we can assure them a good time, with a snappy program and a chance to shake hands with many old friends. Lady Astor, formerly of old Virginia. now a member of the house of commons in Loudon was called a “dirty liar" by a member named Jack Jones, was told by Jones that he was “a better man drunk than she is sober” and warned by the presiding office to keep quiet. Women seem to be getting equal rights every where. Lake county officials paid $77,000 for furniture that wqs worth less than $22,000. State accountants have set up the over charges but don’t know whether to file criminal or civil suits against the men. Why not try both? Looks as though they were liable criminally if their acts were malicious and certainly the county can force the return of the money from some one.

We have come to the vacation period when every one who can plans to get away for a few days or longer, to relax and target the worries of regular rou Ines. Its a splendid thing to do for those who can afford it and who enjoy :t. There are those who find mos' comfort at home, with an occasional game of golf or some other form of amusement. Any way its the season for relaxation in whatever way you care to take it. Uws which regulate the traffic in this automobile age were not made for some one to gel even with some | one else but for the protection of pert< sjians and the drivers of other rars as well as your own. If a check was not placed on us, no one would be safe on the streets. Therefore, we should all aid in enforcement Help the officers instead of making there duties more difficult. We are prone to “pass the buck" and to say “thats the other fellows business" until we almost believe it, but its our business too. p’fhe/treaKurf>r pf, Allen county be-

Lagrange, Ga.,— (UP) — Three Lagrange boys, Alwin Thompson. Joe White arid Roy Spinks got value received out of a $5 "Lizzie." They have returned home after traveling 8,000 miles in a 1922 edition of the Ford. lieves in meeting alt competition. He has announced that persons owing delinquent taxes may puy same on the installment plan. Whatever the amount is will be divided into live equal payments for the convenience of the delinquent and if he doesn't have too many other “dollar down" obligations, he ought to catch up by January Ist and then he can go right on paying his spring installment. It seems like an original idea to say the least and may boost business considerably. The Kellogg peace pact, which is the proposed Wilson plan, boiled down tinder a different name and without any means of enforcement. It is a pledge against war and will stand until nations forget it in anger some day and then everything will probably be off. However, it is perhaps the greatest step forward ever made by civilization, a promise by forty-six countries to settle all controversies with resorting to arms. It may be the beginning of a long period of peace every where and if that is accomplished under any name or plan, everybody will be happy. Let us hope so.

Mr. Northrop, representing the state highway commission is meeting with excellent cooperation in his efforts to secure the easements on road sixteen between here and the state line and he hopes to conclude this week or by the first of next. As soon as he reports ninety per cent success, advertisements for bids will be run and the letting will occur shortly. It is expected that work on the grade would then start within twenty days and that much of the work at least could be gotten out of the way before bad weather sets in The state is planning to spend something like three hundred thousand dollars to build a concrete road through here and there should be no holding back on our part while they are in that mood. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO ‘ * From the Daily Democrat File • * Twenty Years Ago Today July 25, 1909, was Sunday.
