"Senator Harrison approves the PiTposal of a stand off on the war debts and says he will get a majorityjof democrats to join him which is as it should be.

It will be impossible of course to make a radical reduction in taxes -but we ought to have the spirit of doing all we can for even a little evidence along that line will help. Us the idea of starting more 1

than any estimate of what can he done. This is a time when cooperation among every one and coming from every source is necessary and will be appreciated. After all the present depression is not any thing new. Its one of the toughest ones in years but it will pass over eventually and that day will come quicker if we all help. Have confidence in each other, lend a little aid if you can, cooperate, support the courts and I the government and smile. That’s about all we can do until the turning point arrives and there can be no scheduled time for that. For some it is here now, for others its on the way and for the rest of us it will arrive as soon as we open the door. The democratic editors of Indiana and a lot of their friends are I enjoying a three-day summer meeting at Gary and from reports are having the greatest time in history. Tonight the big banquet will be held with Senator J. Ham Lewis, Mayor Cermak and Mrs. Nellie Taloe Ross as headliners. The crowd is the largest which ever attended one of these events and even the extreme hot weather is not preventing them from having a lot of fun of about every kind. Os course some politics is being talked and some shop is being discussed but mostly the folks are just having a big old fashioned outing. Marking of streets in accordance with the safety rules drawn up recently by representatives of the office of Secretary of state has been started in Huntington. Ped estrian lines are being laid out and danger zones are being marked with a view of reducing accidents to the minimum.

By HARRISON CARROLL. f Cnpyrlfht. J 931 Premier Syndicate Inc. HOLLYWOOD, June 00.—With' •even months left to go on his fiveyear contract, Johnny Mack Brown and M.-G.-M. have cancelled the remaining time by mutual agreement. Doubtless this will come as a, surprise to many, as Johnny was) given his first opportunity by Louis | B. Mayer and has been under con- i tract to the company since his col-1 lege football days. Recently he has been loaned to other studios. Universal being the) last, where he played in "Lasca of 1 the Rio Grande.’’ They were dickering for the balance of his contract and planning to feature him in a sepia! titled. “Battling With Buffalo Bill." According to the terms of his M.-G.-M. contract, the actor had the privilege of either accepting or not accepting the picture and chose the latter. He returned to the Metro lot, and as there was nothing scheduled in the near future for him, he asked for his release, which was granted Roth the studio and the actor have nothing but good feelings and friendliness toward each other in the transaction. There seems to be little doubt as to Johnny Mack’s future Already his manager has offers for both pictures and long- : term contracts, and a choice will be made soon. LATEST GOSSIP.

“Not a Solution*’ / - f || I ■ , I siß ~ Chancellor Bruening, of Germany (above), has declared that while his country is deeply grateful to the U. S. and President Hoover for his proposal for a year’s moratorium of war debts, such a plan is only “a short breathing space, but not a solution.” He added that the move would be of no immediate aid to Germany, either.

I The mother-instinct in the cow was) strong, and the ordinarily passive) bovine was stabbing frantically I with her horns in an endeavor to I keep the bear from the tiny calf. The battle, however, was unequal,! and Brke ran home for a gun. He returned with a shotgun, and' fired both barrels at the bear shat-| 666 LIQUID OR TABLETS Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria in three days.

tering one of its forelegs. The bear promtply charged its attacker and Brok fled for his life into a barn. The bear followed, and Brke jumped fro mstal to stall, to escape the I maddened animal. The rancher finally escaped and got into the house again securing additional shells. As he emerged, the bear limping away, turned again to the battle. Rising on its hind feet, the animal waddled toward the man. Brke fired but the bear continued its awesome walk toward him. The rancher fired again and again. At the sixth shot when it was a yard from him the bear toppled over dead. - - o - Sic’cneo Averages The average worker loses seven days each year through Illness.— ■ Collier's Weekly. o *~REUNION CALENDAR Sunday, June 28 Daniels and Cramer reunion, Curtis Moser grove. o Only One'e Own After all, was there ever really any such thing as an entirely unbiased opinion?—Wayne News Sentinel. —-o Essential of Beauty An appearance of delicacy, an-i even of fragility.
