U' ■ \ I TODAY’S CHUCKLE I • (U.R> ♦ London. — A South African diamond company with headquaiters in London owns a marine terrace proved for a continuous distance of 20 miles and the diamond contents of the ground so far trenched is estimated at 1,750.000 carats of exceptional quality. - ♦ Senators Shepherd, Jones nnd Walsh, three of the leading drys iof the country have come out In favor of state referendums, evidently desiring to check and double check the Literary Digest poll. It is very important that the various politicians know just how the voters of their respective states feel about questions of this kind. Whats the use-to argue? We can all attend to our business and do the other things we care to do if we plan a little. If you enjoy your picture show, golf, other amusements, automobile driving or whatever it is, thats the thing for you to do, first remembering that there’s a time for work and a time for play. A Pennsylvania school mam has hit upon a novel plan to punish her unruly children. She makes th m copy pages from the congressional record. Most of the [youngsters would prefer a diet of bread and water or some other form of punishment known in the days of the little red school house and the Hoosier school master. John Kraufz has purchased the Kokomo Dispatch from the Poynters and that city joins most of the others in similar sized counties over the state as a one paper field. That's wise all around, making it possible to publish the highest grade newspaper the field will support and permitting the Tribune’ to [ give better coverage to the merchants at a saving. The outlook for the sugar beet crop in this field is excellent we rare informed and many farmers with from five to twenty acres out ar? in line for a splendid yield and a good cash return. We are hoping they get it. This is one crop that the producer does not have to guess on the price. If he gets plenty of beets he knows just what he will get. A whopper yield this year will sure be a glorious thing for ev?ry one. A few years ago When a man named Newberry spent some $200,000 to be elected senator from - — .

Michigan he was arrested and convicted for corrupt practices. You remember no doubt the long battle in the senate when he was trying to be seated. Well, he was a piker it seems compared to Mrs. McCor- ■ miek, Grundy and some of these 1930 candidates but we seem to , have gotten used to it and don’t I get near the thrill. If you doubt the temper of the people this year, take a glance at the returns where special elections are being held from time to time. I In Oklahoma ths other day, a dis-! i trict which gave Hoover 10.000. ; majority went democratic by IS,- [ 000. Voters are tired of being joshed about the tariff and farm relief and they will show the administration what they think of commissions when ever tire chance presents itself. This is a democratic year. The high school band which took part in commencement exercises last evening is one of the best organizations of its kind in the state, though' the members average among the youngest. Mr. David Rice who has been in charge of the band the past two years is an artist at his work, with many years of actual experience back of him. His class here shows what can be . done and Mr. Rice deserves your! commendations and your congrat-' ulations, as do of course his students. __________ “If the ten million who were! crippled, maimed, blinded or otherwise incapacitated could be mobilized in a field, what a tragic picture you would behold. If the economic loss to society in the withdrawal of all these people from creative industry could be measured, how tremendous would sfeem the loss. Try to get a mental picture of this astounding tragedy and you will grasp the frightful ipiport of the problem of cons -rving human life in the America of t'day. It can be done through the determination of individuals to observe the laws of safety, to respect the regulations of the highway, to regard the rights of their fellow creatures. There is no other way."—From Claude Bower’s address on “Safety.” Fifty-six young men and worn- n were graduated from the D catur high school last evening, the exercises being interesting and pleasant in every way. Supciutendtnt Worth-.' man declares it one of the best [ classes in the history of the school | and he and the teachers deserve| credit for their untiring efforts. | The boys and girls now step out into the world, a big. wide field filled with millions of opportunities. Those who fight hard, using I the knowledge gained in school | and adding their to by continued; (study and constant effort, will sue-'
