Are you still smiling? Its been ’ a rather extended grin without so much to cause it but the time is near when you actually do it and mean it. Governor Leslie says the food crop in Indiana is sufficient to supply every one and thats probably true but some plan for dividing it in a manner fair to every me is likewise important. The past two months have been the hottest in seventy years so it won't make so much difference to most of us if the next hot one is three score and ten years distant. About the worst thing that can happen in a community is when we all get to snarling. After all - we are human and there is more good than bad in most people if we look for it. Come on folks. Lets have a M little cooperation. A boost for the other fellow is a million times better than a knock. By pulling together we can go so much faster and easier, even up stream. A child was born while the ‘ mother was en route on a Pennsylvania train and they named her Penrod. We wonder what the handle would have been if the same thing had occurred on the Hocking Valley. The tax budgets are now being made up and there will be the usiial complaints we presume. Meeting all the requirements of the modern age without increasing the cost is a problem that so far hasn't been entirely worked ......... out. The foreign trade of the United States dropped off about half in July as compared to last year, due to the trend which seems to be gaining over the world to get even with this country for its excessive tariffs. There is plenty in this report to make the average citizen think long and seriously. Local factories are picking up, adding men occasionally and with the outlook of a considerable improvement soon. After all we are in much better condition here than in most places and those who are willing to dig in and keep at it, will be surprised wh c n they total up at the end of the year.

♦ TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (UtW 4 CHUCKLE | Plymouth, Eng.—Captain G. | F. Clayton, governor of Partmoor prison, told local Rotari lans how convicts were allowed to cutch field mice and take ' them to their cells and how | one man taught a pet mouse I to climb up a step ladder and wave a small Union Jack. » _ Another million from the government to aid in road building in Indiana will help out providing not only more miles of better highway but furnishing employment to a large number of men, so of course we are all pulling for Governor Leslie's success in convincing the Washington authorities. Southern Indiana finally got the long delayed rain for which they have prayed and though it was reported too late to aid the crops, the reports now show that much benefit will be derived. It will aid the late crops and will provide some pasture for the live stock which is after all about as Important uow days as a crop. A farmer near Toledo, Ohio, defending his potato patch from which two hundred dollars worth had been stolen, shot and killed a father and son who were leaving with sacks on their back. They say the men who were helping themsefves were doing so to provide food for the family but that's entirely the wrong way to get it. Folks who are hungry should be fed but they will gain nothing by taking what they see unlawfully. Within a day or two definite statements regarding plans for the relief of American farmers suffering from effects of the prolonged drouth will most probably be issued from Washington. There has been a great diversity of opinions respecting what means of relief would be most effectual. The plans favored and doubtless for the most part devised by President Hoover seem to be best approved and likely to be adopted. Red Cross aid with cash for its background, lower freight rates, bank credits for farmers, public work in which distressed farmers will be given preference for employment, transfers of live stock in some instances and transmission of stock feed in other instances, together with other detail, make up the program. And such a program will take the sharper edge from the distresses nowafflicting and due essentially to the burning up of crops and pasturage and the drying up of water sources in some regions. This manner of relief however, is not going to recover agriculture from disaster, where disaster have befallen it. It will enable some farmers to save their stock and to pay their taxes. It will not, as we have said heretofore, accomplish what has been the promise to agriculture for the past ten years. That problem remains as it has been, with some new aspects of acuteness due to the drouth. It is merely the emergency and not the broader problem of farm relief with which the conference in Washington is attempting to deal. The slump in agriculture will remain, no matter what may be done for relief frpm the worst afflictions brought by the dry weather. — Fort Wayne JournalGazette. o Protest Desecration Norfolk, Neb., — first cemetery, where more than 100 pioneers of early frontier days in the state are buried, has been turned into a hog lot.

V o 1— RESOLUTION OF RESPECT Whereas: Death has parted the portals of our chapter and entering, an unwelcome guest, has taken from our defending circle our Legionnaire. Whereas. Legionnaire Carrie Mae Heare, was our friend in fraternity, our co-worker in all good works, and a faithful and loyal Legionnaire Therefore: Be it .resolved: that | to her family and immediate homel circle we express our belief in the] worthiness of her life, the upright-1 ness of her character and her genuine love for her co-workers. Resolved further: that in the death of our Legionnaire, this chapter loses a firm and a faithful member, her family a devoted and loving mother and a generous and helpful worker. She served well here; she will! live well in the Hereafter.

But we all pass over on equal terms. For the universal toll Is the outer garb, which the hand of God Has flung around the soul. Tho’ the eye is dim and the bridge is dark And the river it spans is wide, Yet "faith" points thro’ to a shining mount That looms on the other side. To enable our feet in the next day’s march To climb up that golden ridge, We must all lie down for one night's rest, Inside of the Covered Bridge.
