Call money dropped below two : per cent, yesterday in New York, lowest since 1917, but the trouble is that a lot of our calls seem not to be heard. Hundreds are taking advantage of the three-day sale in progress in almost oyery Decatur store. If you haven't shopped yet, don't miss the opportunity extended by many through tomorrow. Four-fifths of the counties in Indiana lost in population ttie past ten years and that includes almost every county excepting those in which industrial plants have made large gains possible. For the past ten years we have been told that prosperity was just around the corner. Now we are looking for the guy who can tell us just what corner. Most folks would like to get a peek at the old boy. Lbcal stores did a fine business -yesterday and today, the occasion bemg Dollar Day, the occasion being of benefit to both the merchants and the patrons. The bargains will continue in many stones tomorrow and you are cordially invited to call. Times may be a little off but you would never know it judging from the attendance reported at prize fights all over the country. A couple of third raters mixed up at Buffalo the other night and played to a 6150,000 gate. That would buy a lot of bread and potatoes. There were a billion less cigarettes smoked in May of this year than in the same month last year and fifty million less cigars were burn- d up. Can't tell you whether its reform or hard times, but since a lot more snuff was sold it is probably due to the fact that the boys and some of the girls are getting along the beat they can. Good news.

After he gets the dope worked out you may sit in a draft, go with wet clothes and do a lot of things that you have always been told you couldn’t. Won't that be nice? The state board of accounts is going to make a complete and searching probe into the financitil status of the many municipallyowned water power and light plants of the state, says Mr. Orr, the head of the organization. The state board has never attempted a work of this sort before and has taken the reports filed with the various city treasurers as final, feeling that state boys were not wanted. But the law gives them that authority, and now they are going to undertake the job. Probably want to know how this thing of lower rates and a surplus at the >end of the year is being so successfully accomplished. As far as the munici-pally-owned plants in this vicinity are concerned they seem to be getting along fine, and will be anxious to show the state board anything it cares to take a peep at. —Bluffton Banner. Life presents enut risks to everyone without including unnecessary hazards, says an exchange. A life laid down in the promotion of some principle or service to mankind is not accidentally lost, but one that is sacrificed carelessly has no virtue to redeem the needless waste. The coming of the Independence Day celebrations make it timely that people should consider this problem. That safety propaganda and education ane accomplishing worthwhile results is evidenced in the decreasing mortality rate which surrounds the Fourth of July. Twenty years ago or more thousands of families were left in an aftermath of sorrow, when the flaring lights of the celebration died away. The number is diminishing every year but there are still a large number of deaths that could be avoided. Accidents which cripple the body, although they do not destroy life, are another problem of the celebration which goes with the revival of the spirit of '76. Unless one is strong and able-bodied life cannot be lived to the fullest. Dan Beard was eighty years old last Saturday, but again this year he will take an active part in an outdoor school for boys, conducted :'n the mountains of Pike county, Pennsylvania. His recipe for making the Scout movement successful is as follows: Take a bowl full of unbounded love for boys, one pint of absolute faith in American institutions, two teacups of American pioneer blood, one tablespoon of thrills, one tablespoon of romance, two heaping tablespoons of adventure, a teaspoon of Indian traditions, a teacup of vigor and grit of the Puritans, a teacup of the chivalry of the Cavaliers, a quart* of the idealism of Thoret.u, John Burroughs and Henry Van Dyke, one heaping cup of sentiment, the whole seasoned well with patriotism and character, and stirred up with the

Golden Rule, after which sprinkle well with the Stars and Stripes and serve red hot. Few men have j so well set forth the essence of ■ Boy Scout idealism.— Indianapolis I News - 11 We are mighty glad to see the faction taken by the directors and j [friends of the People's Loan and' Trust Company. This is the first real move toward speedy relief in | - the financial situation in our city. They have carefully considered the plan and have concluded the wisest course to pursue is to establish a new institution, sound in every de- ' tail. Their action should be ap-

, proved by the entire public, since it gives uh a new and up-to-date in- ( stitutlon with all banking facilities, organized and directed by some of the best men of our community. Their proceedure* has already been approved by the state banking department as well as other Interested financiers. With , a community spirit, lets all get together and boost this new organization. o e » BIG FEATURES ' OF RADIO I Friday’s Five Best Radio Features WEAK—(NBC network) 6:00 pm Cities Service hour.

Schoenewald Legacy The convention heard the report that the Schoen-wald legacy which was establish more than 20 years ago by a prominent Lutheran of Cleveland had yielded a total of over $4,500 in the past two years. The mqnt y is used to supply scholarships to poor boys planning to study for the Lutheran ministry. Rev. Walter Markworth, Cleveland, Ohio, was elected trustee of this fund. Rev. Edward Stege, Lutheran unis ersity pastor at Bloomington, and Rev. E. H. Eggers, Seymour, urged the laymen to support the resolution to be presented to the central district convention today on the proposed building of a Lutheran university chapel, involving an expenditure of $50,000. Mr. John C. Trier, submitted the treasurer's report on the period from January 15 to June 15 of this year. His report revealed that a sum of more than SIOO,OOO had been received for all purposes, of which nearly $70,000 was designated for the regular budget account. The budget for the central district alone calls for $86,574, and the grand total for the district including the district's obligations toward the Missouri synod budget is more than $370,000. The central district has the enviable reputation of being one of the leading contributors for missions, benevolence, and church extension. "Additional funds for the extension and expansion of the church's work are needed,” Mr. Ahibrand said, "if the church is to take advantage of the opportunities that are now presented on every hand in our country. Altlio the Missouri synod had more than 100 ministerial candidates to be placed in charges of parishes this month, 103 more candidates could have been placed if the necessary funds for this expansion program had beefl available. The Missouri synod's budget for this year calls for $2,000,000. o TO LIQUIDATE PEOPLES LOAN AND TRUST CO. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Following the closing of the Peoples Loan and Trust company
