What a bluff. If they i were looking for something they i ought to have hung around there I a week ago if what we hear, was true. Lalior Day is again a part of history and while the celebration here was quiet we are sure it was enjoyed by about every one. When we read of conditions in other countries we are still convinced that this is the best nation in all the wide, wide world. When you write your advertisements for this week, don't forget to include a line of welcome to your customers for the fair, and if you will make your display a little larger and run it several times, the Legion will appreciate it and it goes without saying that we will The mayor of Warsaw has the right system in offering a dollar reward for every slot machine found in that city.

"World's Champion 1930." ♦ ■ | didates exp ct to make it an occasion for meeting hundreds of the ! voters. It won't be long now. I —- —. I Gasoline taxes in Indiana for the I month of August showed an InJ crease of $202,000 over the same ' month last year, which ought to 1 prove that every one Is not entirely "busted" and that the highway commission ought to manage along and meet their bills eventually, even if they do have to pay for ■ some of the right-of-ways. The schools of the city and over the county opined today and the youngsters reported in numbers that please every one. Here’s hop--1 ing the year will be the best in all history for good schools, well attended by boys and girls, anxious j io receive the best education they | can is a good omen for any community. If you had been over on Prince Edward Island yesterday you could have picked up a righ nice string of fish. A flock of whales chased some small fish up to shore and while they were enjoying the feast, the tide went out and left 280 of the monsters high and dry - . That should certainly reduce the price of whale oil the next season. Tile one business that shows a gain this year is that of life insurance which is a very good thing tor every one concerned. There is no doubt that the best and safest and wisest investment one can made in bad times as well as in pood times is lite insurance and you can afford to pass up some other things to do it. This wqek entries for your stock and oth r agricultural exhibits may he made in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at the rear of the People's Loan A: Trust Company j building. The premium lists cover a wide range and most every one , who so desires can find some place | along the line where they can , enter with a good chance of win- ! ning a premium. And the bigger the entry list, the better the show. W agree with President Hoover that the federal building campaign, aesigned to furnish employment during the lull, ought to be speed- , ed up and we hope it is, especially so far as the Decatur project is concerned, but we can't help fe-1- . ‘ ing that his orders would have been more effective if he had called thoss in charge to his Wash- , ingtcn office and told tht m that two and two make four, instead of : taking the boys down to Rapidan I camp for .he visit. However, if I that gets results, we're for it. VI ell, here we are to September again, time for opi.-ulng ol ths ' busiest season of the year. Those ! who are up and after business will we are confident be more than pleased with results. The harvest in this section is better than in most parts of the country, the ■ beets look good and the big sugar mill will open in a few weeks for one of its longest runs. Indications for increased time in other local plants and a general recovery from the depression, should make every orte smile and hit the ball. George Dale, mayor of Muncie, saw four suspicious looking men sitting in a car on the streets there yesterday and acting on the spur of the moment as he frequently does, jumped on the running board and told them to vamoose out of town. They did and so quickly that the mayor went with them fcr a ride. He lost his hat and wind ; and temper when they tried to brush him off by skidding against other cars but they finally slacked | up and George beat it to a police

hole for the link when shortening the sewing machine belt, is to heai a large needle red hot. Hold the needle with a pair of pliers and it will penetrate the leather very readily. Peas When cooking peas, wash but do not shell them. Place them in a kettle of boiling water. When the pods open, the peas will sink to the bottom and the pods rise to the surface, an indication that they are cooked. It is easy then to skim off the pods. An Umbrella Stand If a towel bar is screwed against the kitchen wall, or on the’back poarch, with a shallow tray or vessel beneath, it makes an excellent umbrella stand. Roasting Meat When either roasting or boiling meat, it is better to use a spoon for turning, for the reason that a fork sticks into meat and allows the juices to escape. Black Wash Goods A teacupful of lye in a pail of water is said to improve the color of black wash goods.
