New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dallies. The fellows who were parading in pajamas last week are putting on "heavies'’ and digging out the overcoats this week. Taxi cab drivers in New York went on strike the other day and 5,000 automobiles were thus kept off the streets but there were still so many ; to dodge that the average pedestrian couldn’t tell the difference. It pays to go straight for a misstep means eventually we must face the music and when that happens its harder for the man who has played the game square than it is for those who are used to being in difficulties. More had smelling oder from the , state highway department including the charge that 11.032 was spent for repairs on one Ford ear. It does beat all and perhaps it would be better to have the state board of accounts go over that department along with the rest of them. The order for a shake-up in Lake county seems to have worked rapidly, notwithstanding the statement by the district attorney that there was nothing wrong. In a raid his week nearly two hundred citizens, including a number of officials were taken Ijy federal officers. w-~"U Rather cool weather for August but the weather man promises us that we will still have need for our light suits and straw hats. The summer is passing however and this is by no means a bad time to lay in your stock of winter fuel and other things that may come handy when the north wind really does start to blow. Suggest a name for the new subdivision to be opened soon in northwest Decatur. A prize is being offered and we are hoping that the selection will be one that proves attractive and will aid in the disposition of the lots which you will find excellent sites for homes. The section will soon become a popular section of the city. The city of New York is appropriating ♦28,000,000 to put their jail buildings in first class condition so the prisoners may have all the comforts cf home. Some, times we feel they are carrying this good fellowship toward law violators too far. in many cases providing comfort for those too indolent to get it for themselves. Complaints are made that frequently. boys and sometimes girls driving along the roads in their sport cars help themselves to fruits and melons from farms along the highway. While it is usually done in the spirit of a lark, its not that for the farmer who has worked for weeks and months to produce bis crop and who is thus robbed of his stock in trade. A horse show will be a feature of the big street fair here September 10th to 14th, just one of the many interesting exhibits but a worth-while one. A few- years ago you would not |tap been surprised at a large nutnof entries fin- such a department but we venture the statement that you will be this year for indications are that this part of the show will be worth looking at. It required hut twenty-eight minutes for the jury at Columbus, Ohio,

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Thayer, Mo. —(UPi— Exercise apparently will not reduce Arthur Wolff’s weight. An enthusiastic Ozark climber. Wolff, aged 17, five | feet, nine Inches, weighs 2IM | pounds. i ' ’ to hand a verdict to Dr. James Howard Snook, giving him the limit for the murder of Theora Hix ami to recommend that no mercy be shown. Such a verdict is of course hard for those unfortunate enough to be called us jurors in such a case but after all its the only kind of treatment for such men as Snook and the eleven men and one woman proved they were courageous enough to do what they felt was their duties. Watch for the Flamingo next week. That's the name of the Hoosier airplane which will go up Tuesday in an attempt to break the endurance record of 420 hours. They will do all the refuelling over Indianapolis but expect to spend the rest of their time looking the country over and if they succeed in “busting” the California flight, will probable visit every nook and corner of Indiana. We are not much for this kind of a game but here's hoping Peck and Genare accomplish their goal. Phillip Zoercher, long time member of the Indiana state tax board, has been invited to Utah and to Kansas to tell them of the beauties of the Indiana tax law and the power of the state tax board. We trust that those Mormons and grass-hoppers will ask some of the rest pt us to come out there and tell them about the other side of the picture. For instance we cculd tell them how values of utilities and railroads that are making more money than they ever did before were given lower taxes this year, while small home owners and the little fellows in general were held up io former valuations. And we could tell a lot of other things about the state tax board that no_state wants to get into. The state board has many good things about it, but it likewise has many objectionable features. — NewCastle Times. Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Care of Silver Before putting away the silver, rub It well with olive oil. then wrap it in a piece of old table linen.

It becomes very hot and wil not burn the bread as quickly as some toasters. Cabbage Water Do not pour the water in which cabbage has been cookdd down the sink. Or, if this must be done, the sink should be rinsed with water containing powdered charcoal or a little chloride of lime. 0 -— -- I MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.
