The republicans in state convention gave Judge Willoughby of the Supreme court a wallop in the convention this week when he ran fourth in a field of four and was badly beaten. Thomas B. Coulter of Vincennes was nominated on the first ballot, receiving 1,089 votes while Willoughby had but 352. It is impossible to measure just how much in dollars and cents the recent rains in this section amounted to but it meant thousands and thousands of dollars to the farmers of the middle west. With an occasional shower now the pats* wheat, corn and berts should come along nicely and every one knows that we all want a good, big crop this year. For thirty days James Farley of Auburn thought he was the democratic nominee for congress in the twelfth district and then comes a bomb shell from the secretary of states office that the official vote sljows Thomas Riddle of Clear Lake had really received the plum by a margin of forty-seven votes. The latter was a straight wet candidate and will make his campaign ... with the prohibition question paramount. Farley no doubt feels like th- boy who caught the rabbit and let it slip away.

There will be much objection to a sales tax or any other kind for taxes in any form are never easy. There should be kept in mind the one thing that taxes should be equalized and any thing that will do that will in the end be as popular as any tax law can be. Under present conditions the poor man who has a little real estate, whether productive or not, is the goat, while he who has his worldly goods in the form of non-taxables, is sitting pretty. The next legislature will no doubt have a battle to ease up the present situation.

We are wondering if Secretary Hyde was permitted a survey of industrial Indianapolis before he made his speech, if he consulted the employment agencies, if he gazed upon the places where the jobless foregather. The Republican management in Indiana should have counseled Mr. Hyde not to go too strong on prosperity in the capital city of Hoosierdom. Or elsewhere in the state, for the matter of that. Prosperity speeches land with a dull thud these days and Mr. Hyde's keynote speech has a duller thud than the common. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. John J. Brown, director of. the State Highway Commission, is authority for the statement that 1.034 persons were killed on Indiana highways last year as the result of automobile traffic. The contributing causes were carelessness, incompetence and disregard for the rights of others. The motorist who does not slow down or a complete stop as he approaches a through highway, the motorist who parks on the side of the lyghway, the car without a tail light and the car with but one headlight burning, all play important parts in causing the dreadful toll of accidents as indicated by the number killed-last year in this state alone almost three a d'ay, every day in the year.—Columbia City Post.

if all American business stopped advertising for a period of six months, we would have business chaos, a condition that would lead to the worst financial depression in the history of -the nation. People soon forget. Great industries would lose their markets. They w’oul't lose ground to thousands of small industries. The public would have no guarantees of quality and every phase of life would be more or less disrupted. All ot this would mean unemployment to a degree that cannot now be conceived, with a general business and possibly social and governmental collapse us a result. One may infer from this, therefore that advertising is doing a great job—is carrying our business life over a difficult period with a very minimum of distress. It is keeping consumption to the highest possible point and thereby enabling industrial leaders to keep factory wheels turning. Big business recognizes this. National advertising is on the increase. Small business may wisely follow suit, and see that the proper use of printers’ ink is one vital necessity right now for business prosperity. o NOTICE The United Spanish War Veterans will hold a meeting Monday night, June 9, at eight o'clock at the Kitson Bather Shop..

GERMAN VETS PLAN TO VISIT BATTLE FIELDS Great Peace Demonstration Expected to Result in Colser Relationship By Frederick Kuh (United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin, June 7—(UP)— Exactly 16 years after Kaiser Wilhelm's military steam-roller rumhled toward Paris in those harrowing Aug,ust 1914 days an "army" of several thousand German ex-service tneu is expected to invade France on a good will mission among the world war battle fields. If the scheme materializes, the peace rally between French and German ex-soldiers will be one of the outstanding events of the summer. Former troops of the German imperial army are to encounter thousands of ex-poilus at the scenes oi their most bitter fighting; and the purpose of the encounter will not be to measure their strength in arms, but to measure the friendship which has replaced wartime animosities. , Details of the plan were revealed to the United Press by cne of the project’s chieif organizers. Major Karl Mayr, an executive of the German republican ev-service men's legeion, the Reichsbanner. The Reichsbanner has already discussed the plan with an analgous French organization, the Confederation des Combattants Republicains, of which Briand, Herriot and Paul-Boncour are honorary presidents. Briand is said to look upon the proposal favorably, while it is known that members of the present German government are in sympathy with the project. “It has been suggested that we proceed first to Chemin-des-Dames, then to Paris and hold a mass-meet-ing at the Tracadero in order to cany our good-wiU message into the heart of the French capital,” Major Mayr declared. "Then we are to move on to Verdun to place w-reaths on the graves of French soldiers. After-ward we plan a memorial service at the German cemetery in Romagne- sous-les Cotes near Fort Douomont, where 6.000 German soldiers are buried." Unofficial assuranct-s have already been received, intimating that the French government will facilitate the German veterans' journey to France and to the battlefield reunion with French excoldiers. The Franco-German ex-service men's rally is planned for Augus.t to coincide with the anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities. Those who will go, if the scheme is carried out, will be mostly former rank-and file army men. "Anti-French sentiment is still strong and rampant in Germany,” the major declared, "and it is our determination to fight this hate movement.'' o— OBITUARY Harriett M.
