It certainly doesn't seem Just right to hold the sheriff of Grant county for the recent lynching when he and a few deputies were the only ones who made any effort to prevent it. The corn is reaching a height that makes crossings dangerous. When you drive up to an intersection where the view is not clear, slow down, blow the horn and use your best judgment in being careful. You may avoid a serious accident if you do. The extremely hot season is about over, according to predictions and most folks will be glad of it. Besides having been a rather unpleasant season it has been far be-low-average in most sections for a urop yield. It is claimed that beer is made in Chicago for three dollars a barrel, distributed for six dollars and sold for sixty.

Tlie death of Emil Aeschliman, well-known business man from Berne, as the result of an automobile collision is deeply regretted by his host of friends here and over the county.

The government is planning to build a paved highway to Fairbanks, Alaska, and it is predicted that in a few years you will be able to hop in your car here and run up for a visit with Fred Martin and the other boys without getting off the track. They even propose to have crews which will keep the road open when the snow Is seventeen feet deep. The double lynching at Marion will not help that community for

as the years roll by it will be remembered as a black mark against them. The laws may be lax and enforcement uncertain but even at that they must be upheld. When citizens so far lose themselves that it is necessary to call the militia to prevent trouble it is always detrimental. Serious as the crime was it would have been better to have insisted upon speedy trial and the limit of punishment for the murderers and rapers. The Hoosier State Automobile Association has the figures to substantiate the statement that 26% of the budget of the tourist is spent for merchandise, 20% in restaurants, 17% in hotels, and 11% for gas and oil. The balance of. each dollar goes for knick-knacks, candy, street car fares and theaters. With such a division we cannot understand how any community can afford to do otherwise than fight for every highway they can secure for the more roads—good ones—leading into the city, the more business.

Early census figures show that, in some parts of the country at least, small villages have been decreasing in population, with some disappearing entirely. It calls to mind Goldsmith's famous poem and his dire prophecy for the place “where wealth accumulates and men decay.” But the case is different. In England at that time the wealthy men came out of the city and obliterated the villages to make pasture lands and fox-hunt-ing fields. Here the villagers moved voluntarily to the cities in the search of wealth, or of a job. The old Village was a picturesque and lather attractive social unit, but it has been outgrown. There is no isolation, no local flavor, any more. Every village, or place where a half dozen farm houses are grouped together, is connected with all the rest of the world by telephone, :adio, automobile, the daily paper and a chain store. And it wants to be a city.—The Pathfinder.

DROUGHT AREA RELIEF STARTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) atively few areas.

Weather bureau predictions today forecast continued lower temperatures, but contained little prospects of rain before Wednesday in the drought areas Prayers for rain were offered at services in all Protestant and Catholic churches here yesterday. The plans formulated by the president during his brief absence largely concerned the discussions to take place Thursday at the governor's conference at the white house. All 12 of thp state executives invited have replied that they will attend or send representatives. At the conference, it was understood, Mr. Hoover will discuss with the governors the matter of setting up an interstate relief organization with which the federal government can cooperate. This organizations, to be known as the rehabiliation commission, is expected to include one man from each of the states represented. The president probably will ask the governors to make the appointments.

He feels the Red Cross is in a position to handle all emergency cases involving human relief, while the federal farm board is going ahead with plans to aid farmers in obtaining feed for their livestock.
