The cool nights are giving a lot of people an opportunity to catch tip on their sleep lost during the hot spell and they are working at it overtime. Probably the next time we pass a tariff Jaw we can send to Canada assistance. The boys up there are now going to write a it al one, so stiff that the U. S. senate will be staggered, and that's something. Canada should remember in her retaliation program that she may make United States citizens so mad they will get even by refusing to drink their rotten “liker” at prices established when this country was dry. Corn is king, not just because of volume but because of price. It has passed wheat in Chicago and if flie drouth is not broken this week it will be so scarce that the price may be a record breaker. After.. all supply and demand still seehis to be a big factor. Business may be a little quiet these days but we will cut loose onq.of these days and then watch us "go. The people are anxious to get' busy and with the 1 ast provocation will start the wheels to whirling. We can hurry the day by all boosting a little and by each one making an effort. New York is some city when measured by population. The new census fixes the number of folks there at 6,959,195 which is double th? population of most of the states. No wonder Jimmy Walker, the mayor, is much talked about. Running a city that size is a more d.ffleult job in many ways than operating a mid west state. Only about five weeks until the big streit fair opens here and it’s going to be a show worth more than it costs. Besides providing a week of real sport and good entertainment, a wonderful exhibit and everything that goes with such events, it will be great to show the world we can do things even when fate is not just with us. Crops in Adams county are looking fairly good. Corn and beets are coming right along, as a result of the rains of the past two weeks and we are all thankful for the conditions here for they do not exist in most of the middle west and the outlook is so bad as to even effect the prices. There will be a very good harvest here and that ought to help some. Plan* for reopening the Old Adams County bank are still going along steadily we are Informed and it is expected that within a very short tjjne, definite announcements tan be'"made. The directors are using every care to complete an organization that will continue the *

I rug— jj i. — I Mr. Ford celebrated his 67th birthday by making a twenty-two word talk over the microphone in which he declared ’’there is no 1 such thing as chance." Yet a great many people feel there was some chance or luck or something else to the fact that he discovered the niodel-T which brought him in a pot of gobi in a few years. We believe most success is due to effort |or industriousness or whatever you wish to call it but there is always an element of luck with It. If you have an over supply of money you might donate to keep some of tue high fliers up In the air. Several of the airplane record flights are now being financed by accepting funds from those silly enough to give. It doesn’t make very much difference to us whether they sit up there a thousand hours or not but the American people are peculiar and usually give to such unimportant efforts more liberally than to genuine causes. Although Rudolph Valentino died in debt, his estate now amounts to $500,000. He left about $35,000 woith of books, pictures, neckties, handkerchiefs, garters and a variety of other knicknacks which George Ullman, his executor, has increased to a half million just by showmanship. There are plenty ot suckers who would pay 100 times the actual retail price of a necktie, for example, if they knew Valentino had worn it. Ullman lias a book plate made which, when pasted even in 25-cent paperbacked books of the dead movie star, has.caused them to sell for $5 to $lO. —Mid-West Review. Elbert Hubbard once wrote this “There is a disease known as factory melancholia. If there is a depression of spirit in the front office it goes out through the foreman, the superintendent, and reaches everybody in the employ of the institution. Even the horses that deliver the goods to the railway station will catch it. They will moderate their pace, and no longer will they frolic in glee. The brass on their harness rings is not receiving attention. The ivory rings are being lost. Indifference is showing itself in every department. Everybody is saying ’What's the use?”’ Think this over. It may give you some idea of how our own feelings are effecting others and how that all added together makes your community cither peppy or lead. • « BIG FEATURES ' OF RADIO ! i •— « Friday's Five Best Radio Features WABC —(CBS network I — 6:30 p. m.

MEMPHIS PUTS OLD PAPER IN CORNERSTONE — Curios Relate History of; City; Go In Postoffice Receptacle Memphis, Tenn., August 1 (UP) Historical curios dating back to 1872 will fill the copper box to be placed in the cornerstone of the new federal postoffice under construction here. Innumerable items to be stored in the box were recently removed from the eornostone of Memphis' irst United States postoffice. Postal autarkies and city historians played ceremonious roles at the opening of the rust-covered containers. Among the mementoes were approximately SIOO in Confederate gold and currency; record book of the state Masonic grand lodge; Civil war shinplastets; copies of pioneer Memphis and Italian newspapers: copy of the city's early history, a federal abstract on postoffice con struction and a taxing district brie*. Opening of the cornerstone of the original federal building recalled the history of its tedious construction. Thrice interrupted building

WISCONSIN HAS INCOME FROM RESEARCH DATA Alumni Foundation Commercializes Discoveries Credited to University Madison, Wl»., Aug 1 —(UP) — Commercializing the results of tescare hand turning uie profits to further investigations Is an impor•ant task at the University of Wis«onsin. Harry L. Russell, dean of the college of agriculture for 23 years, recently resigned to head the Wisconsin Aliyjuii Research foundation in charge of this' work. Management of the process of food irridation with ultra violet rays for production of vitamin D. perfected by Dr. Harry Steenbrock, It's whole piograni is three-fold is one of the jobs of the foundation. The foundation promotes and develops to a commercial stage the discoveries and inventions of faculty alumni, or others who surrender their patents to it. Licenses are granted by it to commercial concerns who can make use of these inventions, royalties on which are paid to the foundation. These royalties ,in turn, are devoted to further research. While the Steenbrock ’process, through its application to breakfast foods and other edibles, perhaps is the most generally known of the foundation's work, this group also controls patents on use of copper and iron salts in treating anemia developed by Pi of E. B. Hart; the discoveries of Dr. F. L. Hisaw relating to the pituitary gland and the role of hormones in reproduction; discovery of Dr. E. O. Wigg, now of Akron, 0., for use of acetone acid as a living agent in baking powder; a method of producing acetic acid originated by Dr Tetrault, now of Purdue university. “1 believe that the next decade will develop facts on hormones in relation to life processes and inheritance, as well as relating to the secreion of the ductless glands that will he of the utmost importance to mankind,” Dr. Russell said con cerning one of these research matters now in the hands of his foundation. Dr. Russell pointed out that the foundation offered wealthy men an opportunity to do great public service by giving financial assistance, but stressed the fact that the foundation will not accept bequests unless it can have full control of their use. — o | Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE «. • Old Shirts Shoes bags, laundry bags and bags for holding dust cloths, can be made from the tails of old shirts.
