The. vacation season will soon be over so if you expect to get yours in before the fall activities start better be packing up. And its about the smartest thing you can do. The community needs good banks and "'you owe them your support. When you fail to give that and in the right way you injure your com- — muntty and make it harder for yourself. if they get that Marion lyncli- ' ing case into federal court it will take a lot of the cocksureness out of some of the men who acted as leaders. Mob law is never the right thing even though there is great provocation some times. Only three weeks until fair time and they will be busy ones for those getting ready to put on the big show and those preparing to attend and to show. It looks like a ten time winner and will be if you all get back of the Legion boys now and push. Ten thousand cases of beer are on a steamer which is tied up to a Canadian dock just opposite Detroit as a result of the new Canadian export law. Its a good thing its over there probably for if it was on this side, some of those boys farmed out by Capone might decide they were thirsty. Indiana gets three million dollars of government money to be •used for highway building and get it now instead of waiting until January. Os course that may tighten things up a little next year but the idea is to furnish employment now when the folks need it which listens mighty good. Hope they decide to put some of it over this way. When the authorities got into the hooks and papers of the late Jack Zuta, beer baron, recently shot to death, they uncovered some rare evidence, the records showing among customers of the Moran gang, a number of fashionable eating places as well as many prominent citizens and officials. They say "dead men tell no tales" but some times whats left behind does. This would be a good time to start a program of securing new industries. Other cities are doing it and with success. It every citizen who could would help a little it would be easy to raise a sufficient fund with which to get action and ?ou know that would aid every one* The difficulty is that too many sit around expecting the ether fellow to do it and there is always a limit to what one or two ot afew can do. Its time to awaken. Over Sunday showers helped the beets in this territory, which by the way look like a profitable crop

I TODAY’S CHUCKLE I • (U.R) ♦ Leeds. Eng.—A walking stick that formerly belonged to Charles I was sold for six guineas (S3O), and canes used by Lord ’ , Byron and the King of the ; Sandwich Isles brought only ■ 10-6 ($2.75) each at the sale of the contents of Hornby 1 Castle, property of the Duke : of Leeds. ♦ ♦ this year and one of the largest since the plant located here eighteen years ago. More than ten thousand acres are blocked and the yield looks great at this time. In-; dications for a hundred day run are excellent which should put pep in all of us for it means employment of a large force, payment of cash to the farmers and helps in other ways. The national republican committee Is starting the campaign with the declaration that they are the only ones to remedy the present rotten conditions, going we presume upon the theory that they' caused it and know just how to ; take the old machine apart and oil it up. If they can convince you of that its alright with us but what can they do? They finally passed after a two-year struggle, the' worst tariff law we ever had and they know and you know that they will not attempt to correct it or could if they would try to. Bounce them out and lets get down to real business and real government. When Senator Fess of Ohio, was selected acting national chairman it was broadcast That he was only to be the figure head and that experts would do the work, but no sooner does the Ohio senator take office than he announces that he is the “boss” and that Mr. Lucas ( and others will take orders from him or get out. That makes it tough for it makes things which were bad enough on the inside ot 1 the G. O. P. organization just so much worse. In the meantime the voters are ready to go to the polls now and most of them know just ( how they are going to vote. ■ , I The special taxation committee which has been trying for several ; months past to figure out plans i where a more equal distribution ; can be made have decided and are supported by excellent legal talent, ; that the general assembly has all { the power necessary to change * the system of taxation. They have ; I i also discovered that the supreme t court of the state can fix qualifica- * tions for lawyers to be admitted to the bar. Since these are the two s most pressing excuses for a constitutional convention it would seem 1 foolish to go to that expense and 1 , to open the gates for every crank t and every selfish interest in the ‘ state. ‘ o •; ♦ i Modern Etiquette I By | ROBERTA LEE I 1 • —(U.FJ ♦ 1 I Q.

off in a few minutes. After speaking for a talking newsreel they were taken to a downtown hotel. "We had a nice time," O'Brin.' said. "Our greatest kick was rtjren we passed the Hunter boys' mark. It sure seems funny to be walking on the ground again.” Doctors examined them and said they had not lost weight and appeared in splendid physical condition. Their plane was wheeled into a hangar, where William Quigley, chief mechanic of the flight, inspected the motor. He said he could not find a crack In the crankcase, “but if the boys said there was one, there must be.” What Oscar Parks, manager of the flight, pointed out as the crack was “only a scratch." Quigley said. The official time of the flight was announced as 647 hours, 28 minutes and 30 seconds. It was estimated the plane had flown 42,000 miles, and the propellor revolved 52,000,000 times.
