For a state that was as fully developed as ours in 1920, and that is surpassed by many others in area, this will be accepted as a rather remarkable showing. Possibly, when figures are available from four of the thirteen tabulation districts that are yet to report, the rate of growth will be found to be less than now appears. The virtual certainty exists, nevertheless, that the total population will be fairly close to thta forecast, 3,270,655, compared with 2,942,210 ten years back. Os -the nine districts that have announced results, five show increases and four decreases, with the gains far more than offsetting the losses in the aggregate. Roughly considered, the trend established by the enumeration in this state is in accord with that found generally. Regions that are preponderantly agricultural in their activity, and that heretofore have not given rise to cities of considerable size, either are doing no more than holding their own in number of residents, or have fewer than formerly. In contrast the areas ■ that are centers for manufacturing, or are so situated as to become logical distribution points for commercial products, quite generally have expanded on a considerable scale. The population recession in farming is matched, to some extent, with a shrinkage in some coal mining sections, which bears on the unfavorable status of that industry. The full and detailed statistics will permit more authoritative conclusions than now is possible, but enough is known to support a view that economic forces have been the prime factor in a redistribution of people within Indiana and the concentration of newcomers largely in urban communities. The social charm of rural life, which is and always has been notable here, may slow- the shift in the next dec- • ade. Indeed, the swiftly developing system of excellent highways • for motor vehicle traffic already is having some effect in that direction. —Indianapolis News.

It has particularly reduced the death ’rate among children. Medical men have fought to build up the health of children: sociologists have fought to prevent their being worn out in industrial occupations before they have achieved full strength. Together they have made the world a far safer place for the young.— Chicago Examiner. Senator Furnifold Simmons of South Carolina has probably been convinced by the returns in the recent primary in which he met signal defeat, that a man can not Rave his party during a presidential year and then return two years later and expect his constituency to get back of him. Others will be as forcefully convinced as they bob up the next several years. The democratic state ticket as selected after a stormy session in the state convention seems to meet general approval and the platform which said things and said them in words easily understood will appeal to the voter who gives them thought. Organization of the state forces will be made at once and the outlook in Indiana from a democratic standpoint is the brightest in years. If the democrats can convince the voters that they will reduce taxes or equalize them in a manner fairer than those now burdening the state, they should and probably will win next November by a majority that will leave no doubt as to their desires.

the most important thing to be considered for only when the farmer is prosperous, do we have the genuine brand. The new production each year from that source is what counts. The republican press is trying very hard to criticize the speech of Paul McNutt but find it difficult for they know he told a lot of truths. In other words he made them wiggle. Perhaps after all it may be better for the country when we get back to where the women put a bowl of pop corn and apples on the center table instead of a pack of cigarettes and the highball glasses.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Ed Ashbaucher and J. U. Maynard, having purchased the Adams property on Mercer Avenue are converting it into a modern funeral home. This funeral home is nestled in surrounding shrubbery and among beautiful trees, is in a distinctive location, near enough to the business center for convenience, yet far enough away from the hurry and .bustle of commercial life to give it th quiet atmosphere, that is so essential and desirable to those who must patronize an establishment of this nature. This home will be fitted and arranged so convenient that die moment one enters the reception room there will be a feeling of confidence and restfullness which will relieve the t' ntion of over wrought nerves, enabling one to speak easily and unreservidly to sympathetic listeners as serving in this beautiful home will be a privilege easily acquired. The most exquisite details of the home will be the ar-, rangement of suitable reposing rooms for the dead, before a service. The family and friends of the deceased, when bodies are taken to this home, will lie.to have access to these rooms at all times. The Funeral Parlor will accomodate 150 persons, and will offer the comfort and privacy of a home, where complete appropriateness and harmony will prevail throughout the entire establishment. The display rooms will contain caskets of every size and quality from the simplest to the most elaborate. It is only right and proper in making final arrangements, the the expense of funerals be considered and this will depend entirely on what is selected. The most simple and inexpensive funeral will be conducted on the same high plane as the most expensive as there will be no extra charges for this excellent service and the use of this home. A private drive will be made and any ordinary funeral can be parked on this drive. The attainment of this beautiful home is only the realization and dream of these progressive men knowing the needs of the public, and their wants, as only a very few counties in Indiana are without homes of this kind. Mr. Maynard was practically reared in this business, knows every detail, is unpretentious and quiet and conducts all funerals in a quiet and dignified manner; is a practical man, having been appointed the third time on the State Board of Embalmers and Is now serving his twelfth year, only one other man claiming that distinction, is authority on embalming yet is unassuming. Mr. Ashbaucher needs no introduction to the good people of Adams County. He is now serving as County Treasurer and as soon as his retirement will assume active duties with this firm, but will attend a service or call any time. While in Indianapolis yesterday they purchased one of the most modern three-way loading Packard funeral cars which will be delivered soon. They expect to be permanently located in about two weeks, but. until that time will be located at Mr. Maynard's residence, 334 Winchester Street.

PRINCE ALFONSO MAKES BIG HIT AT WASHINGTON Wide Knowledge of Many Subjects Makes King's Cousin Popular By Carroll Kenworthy (United Dress Staff Correspondent) Washington. June 13 — (UP) — Prince Alfonso of Orleans, cousin of the King of Spain, made a striking impression as *a very human person" on his visit here during the Graf Zeppelin flight. Although he was in the city only three days, his contracts won hit.’ the reputation of a man of wide experience and knowledge, of vigor, enthusiasm and a practical rather than a princely view of life. His cordial manner appeal to many, and on one occasion, at least, he was actually mistaken for a news paperman. The very method of his arrival and departure in a crack naval plane, flawn from Lakehurst to Washington in less than two hours, marked the impressive but informal side of his life. Reports that he had been the “life of the party” while the Zeppelin crossed the Atlantic, that he made his own bed. good naturedly shined shoes for the passengers on one occasion and spoke eight languages perfectly preceded him here and brought wide attention to his visit. Washington noted that he was up.' for a brisk walk at 7 o'clock on the warm Sunday morning after his arrival. that he did not hesitate when invited to broadcast about his trip to a nation-wide audience, and that he used American rather than English phrases in a number of his descriptions. He was quoted as having had “a whale of a time on the voyage”. He remarked that he had “a corking good time when in Washington last” and when he told newspapermen good bye he said in an offhand manner: “Well, so long. See you again sometime?’ He explained that lie was exercising vigorously to keep thin so that he might enjoy aerial camera fighting. This explained, was mimic warfare in which rival pilots “shoot” each other with machine guns carrying rolls of film instead of cartridges. The films are stamped each second by an automatic device so •han when developed they show accurately which man “hit” the other in a vital spot first. “Aviation.” the prince said, “has doubled its velocity in the last few years. To keep up with it one has to be very alert and physically fit. j Too much weight is fatal. Turning, banking and maeuvering in camera fighting is a great strain on the internal organs and too much fat is a serious handicap. That’s why I train to keep down weight,” Such confussions and such enthm siasm for sport and other activities' as he showed surprised persons who met the prince. The Columbia Broadcasting officials who arranged his broadcast were amazed at his knowledge of radio. One man, a reporter, was so far misled by the prince’s “human side” , that he mistook him for another I newspaperman.

Receiving an appointment to in- • terview the prince he called and was t told to wait in a side room. Since it is the custom for celebration here ) to receive the press in a group on t first appearance, the writer sat and c smoked awaiting the arrival of tel- < low Journalists. Suddenly the door opened and a j vigorous debonair youth stepped it’.. I "This is not the prince,” the writer said, he thought. "Must be an- t other newspaperman," So he sat in t his corner and smoked, only saying I a merry "hello" for the newcomer. Prince Alfonso, unembarrassed I by the lack of interest or courtesy. I however, met the situation and be- I gan by Interviewing the reporter about himself. It was only a moment until the reporter discovered his mistake and with considerable chagrin, so he relates, reversed the role and got his interview. o—Lutherans Plan Unusual Service ; A special service will be held in the ijion Lutheran Church Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. A deaf boy, Carl Wilhelm, will be confirmed. Carl has attended the Lutheran Deaf. Mute Institute ut Detroit. Michigan, for ten years, and has mastered the sign language and lip reading. The Rev. Gielow of the Lutheran Deaf, Mute Institute will officiate, I delivering the sermon to the audience, and using the sign language tor the deaf people present.
