We sure do need about twenty-four hours of rain. Any way the dry weather has made the season almost free of weeds, mosquitos, tiles and other pekts, which ought to help a little. Politics makes queer bed fellows. Senator Moses is now lying down with the “sons of wild jackasses.” He is with them in opposing the London naval agreement. Huy yourself an eighty acre farm and double your money in a few years. We are sure they will never be ch< aper than now and just as certain they will be worth 6150 per acre within a short time. The merchant who thinks he is saving when he does not advertise might just as well save further by cutting out his rent and clerk hire. If you need one you sure as the world need the other. Be careful where you throw your cigar and cigarette stubs these days for many serious fires are occurring over the middle west. Better walk clear down and toss them in the river than take chances of a blaze. We insist that things will be better. You know in this country we don't stand still long, either gqing up or down and since we seem to be at the bottom, the change must be for the better. So keep right at it. You know a change of ten to fifteen per cent for the better would make a sur- , prising difference. Chicago is ridding herself of gangsters, the best proof of which is that a number of northern Indiana towns and cities are getting some undesirable visitors. Some plan to make them keep on traveling until they reach the Atlantic -and then some thousands of miles ought to be carefuuly thought out it iul executed. nr-*' . -•

I TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.PJ ♦ Birmingham, Eng. William Rylleld, S 3, has worked for 65 years at the aatne machine in a local factory. ♦ - ♦ Hartford City has closed twentyfive bootleg joints and gambling houses. The officials notified proprietors that they must quit business and they did. All of which sounds rather peculiar. If the officials knew of the joints why did they not raid them in the regular way and an outsider citn’t help but wonder that with such control as demonstrated just how long a vacation the boys are to have. While police officers should enforce traffic laws and ordinances, It should be remembered ‘.hat a smile and a courteous offer of information that will correct the error of the tourist is a good investment for it makes those who have erred remember the town where they are "bawled out.” We are glad the officials here use courtesy towards the tourists for that’s the right thing to do exactly. The campaign for funds for the annual street fair, agricultural show and old home coming, will start Monday. Thats an important job and of course not exactly a pleasure for the Legion boys upon whom it falls. Be as generous and as reasonable with them as you can. The community has the right to one play week out of the fifty-two, the boys have planned an interesting program, the farm display will be excellent and it will be a gala occasion, provided tlie necessary funds can be secured. Boost the good cause along. As nearly 800 high schools in Indiana have basketball teams, ther«' will be statewide interest in this years rule changes, which have to do only with the duration of the game, although it is possible that what is known as stalling will be more difficult hereafter. Indiana collegiate basketball games have consisted of twenty-minute halves ami as have most high school games during the regular season. Tournament games have been played with fifteen-minute halves. Play by quarters has been popular in the east for several years and it was with it that the

Passaic <N. J.) high school team won 159 consecutive victories. The Missouri Valley conference teams have played quarters for some time, hut the college teams in the Western Conference, or Big Ten, stick to the twenty-minute halves. Under the new' regulations, Indiana high school games will have four quarters of eight minutes each. Between the first and second and third and fourth quarters there will be rest periods of one minute; between the halves ten minutes’ rest. The new rules will cut the regular season games from forty minutes to thirty-two, which is two minutes longer than the playing time for tournaments. With respect to stalling, the only possible gain from tile standpoint of the spectator is that after a quarter is over the ball goes in play from the tip-off. There is nothing to prevent the leading team from stalling through the final quarter if it can keep possession of the ball. The new schedule, suggested by the state organization of high school basketball coaches, has been approved by tlie Indiana State High School Athletic Association. — Indianapolis News. * 9 I Modern Etiquette , I By | ROBERTA LEE * (U.pj ♦ Q.
