Antisaloon day was observed tn Bluffton yesterday, the leaders there probably selecting the day because of' the street fair this week. Mayor Crouch of Columbia City Is turning his rty over to make up as much of the shortage of $65,900 as possible but that doesn't settle the fact that he wronged his community. If they had arrested Marty Cohen a week ago for operating an unsafe night club in Detroit, twenty people now dead would be alive and the community probably better off in various ways. By the way boys, we could have a potatoe show in this county this year for we have seen some samples that lead us to believe that all records would be broken easily. Jay county believes in being up-to-date. They have leased a field, raised some money, bought an airplane and will now compete with all other cities which support tills modern travel scheme. * Good luck to you boys, but don't fly too high. Harry Sinclair must serve three months more in the Washington jail, the president and attorney general having decided that not to have him do so would undermine confidence. Why even consider it? They wouldn't for an ordinary law violator. We start another week and its up to each of us to try to make it the best one of the year. It' each week we try to beat the previous one in the total of things accomplished, the sum will be a satisfactory one whether we accomplish that or not. Effort has much to do with success. The election of officers by the General Electric local club is an important one for an organization composed of five hundred people is naturally a .busy one and with plans for a new club house and for added activities, there is sure to be plenty to keep them busy. Stop your car when you see a ,4fhool bus loading or discharging passengers.

Don't Te reckless. •»* • According to Arthur Brisbane, Andrew J. Mellon, secretary of the United States treasury is. now worth a billion dollars. Since he only had a paltry three hundred million when he -assumed that office some eight or «nine years ago, it would seem he hadn’t sacrificed so greatly by holding his powerful position in Washington.

now claimed that Capone's gang from Chicago were brought Into the Gary , district in 1926 to off-set the work of i the ku klux klan. A load of beer' confiscated was distributed over Gaiy | openly to those in favor and those j arrested were protected by local officials who claim to have had orders from higher ups. Such a mess. The seasons p ass. Baseball and golf are giving way to football and basketball, the hot summer days are over and already we see snow clouds gathering in the southwest, gleaming banks of marble white. Its time to think of the season of heavier wraps and comfortable home fires. If we prepare for the changing weather we can be just as comfortable one time as another, but its time to prepare. Over at Wabash they have decided ' that girls must be girls and if they insist on being boys the law will sea that they be their own sex. A sixteen-! year-old laSs with a boyish bob has been wearing trousers and a shirt and < enjoying the consternation thus aroused. She started to school In that kind of a rigging and was promptly taken on the carpet and told what she was expected to do. including being a lady. Its about time that steps of that kind be generally takeu it seems. Surrounding cities are not acting , hastily on the proposal of the Pennsyl- t vania railway to abandon crossing flagmen and substitute flasher signal lights. There seems to be a concerted movement by the Pennsylvania to do away with flagmen. At Rushville, where the railroad operates only two trains a day, tfle city council refused to repeal the ordinance compelling watchmen at three- crossings. The railroad company even promised to operate the two trains at a speed of five miles an hour through the city if permitted to take off the watchmen. The council didn't argue the matter I very long and voted to retain the watchmen.—Newcastle Courier.

Deputy District Attorney James Costello revealed that he planned to arrest one defense witness on perjury charges. Costell said the arrest would not be made until after the close of the case, which should go to the Jury late today or early tomorrow. A man testified (or th«- defense under oath that he saw the crush between Mrs. Patnages' car and that of Juro Rokumoto and we know that he did not,” Costello declared. "We have in our hands at this time enough evidence to warrant his arren* tor perjury.
