There have been an unusual number of drownings tills year. Don’t jump Into a spring fed body of water immediately after eating; don’t go beyond your depths unless you feel sure you are safe; don’t act foolish in the water and remember that perhaps a very simple act on your part may excite the one upon who are trying to play a joke. The Northern Indiana Public Service Company, a live organization and always to the fore In matters of public service as the name implies, has offered to save Fort Wayne from a water famine by furnishing a million gallons a day. That's certainly the fine and proper spirit and deserves thanks from the people, individually and together, but we wonder why each year that city should have a shortage of water. Seems as though it is possible to get it and unless they do they will find it an impediment to the continued growth which has marked their history the past score of years to a marked degree, A The community has been saddened by the drow-ning of Glen Hurst at Green Waters quary and while we will probably never know exactly it is thought he suffered a heart attack. The quarry is deep and is fed by springs, causing the water to be unusually cool. When one jumps into such water there it a shock to the body greater than the average person realizes. Glen was a good swimmet and it is believed that something unusual happened to cause him to sink without an outcry. His sad death can only help if his tragic ending causes others to use greater care. Our sincerest sympathies are extended to the bereaved family. Glen was a fine youth and will be greatlymissed by his host of good friends. Ability to read and write does not necessarily qualify one to discharge the duties of an American citizen. Men and women of culture, wealth and education are too often not qualified to pass upon the merits of candidates or issues. They turn off the radio when some one attempts to discuss public affairs, and will not inform themselves through the daily press and magazines. They refuse to attend public meetings or give any serious attention to public affairs. This type of citizen is a SLACKER. He does not deserve the benefits of a free government. As his number increase, we drift from a real Republic. Some countries are Republics only in name on account of the ignorance and incompetency of the population. It is indifference to the duties of a citizen that threatens this country and is producing an unsatisfactory condition in public affairs. Occasionally in great emergencies the mass of voters become aroused, and take a deep interest in the affairs of the country. Too often the people act with passion and go too far in socalled reform. What is needed is the constant interest in public affairs so that this country shall have “A Government of the people, by the people, for the people.” A good time to start this reform will be in the selection of the men who will represent you in the next congress. o— Free Trip Is Prize Paris —(UP)—A group of Italian hotels has offered a novel prize of one round-trip to Venice’ and the Lido with everything paid, the voyage to be entirely de luxe. The prize is offered to the lady who wears the best evening gown at a well known dining and dancing establishimen! in Paris. The committee will |be formed of prominent Parisian ! dressmakers, artists and writers.

Don’t come to town and take the work away from the man that buys your products, because if you do, depend on s-11-ing your crops cheap, or hold on to them, which may be a long time. Stay on the farm and raise all you can and the city man will buy. You have the farm to depend upon, but the city man has to ’opend upon his job, and if yoji take this job away from him, you are taking money out of your own pock t, besides you are taking the food out of some poor childs ftiouth. You farmers will put up a kick when you don’t get more for your products but the same time you’ll come to the city and rob the laboring man out of his job. The largest percentage of your products go into the city. We must have farmers and you must have us. I have always said that the farmer is one half of the community and the city the other. Both must pull together in order to keep the old dollars rotting, but kt one half lag behind and the whole community will start to wabble. Here is another thing 1 can’t understand. Why will these road contractors employ farmers and let the city man standing? They will take single men before the married man, when h? knows the married man needs the work so he can buy food for his family. I was out on the State road seeking employment and the contractor had several farmers working, some would never need to work, but they are hoggish and keep grabbing at every cent that comes along. There ought to be a written agreement to the effect that they must employ nr n who absolutely need the work. Please do not mistake this article, to be a knock at the farmer, bej cause it isn’t. 1 am just suggest-

Stubborn Ailments Readily Yield To Prompt and Vigorous Action Os New and Different Medicine i fn ; MR. AMBROSE WALLS “For a number of year# I suffered from a bad stomach,’’ said Mr. Ambrose Walls, 1338 South Meridian street, Indianapolis. “Gas formed after nearly every meal. My kidneys, too, were weak. I could not control bladder action and w r as forced to rise frequently at night. My greatest trouble was with my liver and bowels. My liver was sluggish and inactive and I had a bad color and was subject to dizzy spells. A serious case of constipation added to my misery. “Konjola helped me from the very start. Today I feel like a new man eating what I please without subsequent discomfort. My kidneys and liver are in good condition and my bladder actions are normal. My complexion has cleared up and I am no longer bothered with constipation. I recommend Konjola every day. I know it will cleanse the kidneys and stimulate the action of the liver. I cannot say too much for Konjola.” It is logical to believe that what Konjola ha* done for others it will do for you—for everyone. This is especially true when Konjola is given a fair trial over a period of from four to eight week*. Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at the B. J, Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
