The acts of 1931 are now laws, the proclamation having been issued yesterday by Governor Leslie. This puts into effect 179 more laws under which we must live and pursue happiness. Another double holiday over the week-end and all we can say is be caretui. Usually such occasions mean a large list of accidents. Let's not have any in this community if we can imssibly avoid them. Indiana is about to produce her largest crop in years. The wheat, oats, corn and every thing else including fruit is bountiful. The prices are low but the volumn will 1 help make that up if there is any market and in the meantime none < f us ought to go hungry. The intense heat is causing a number of deaths daily and the 1 greatest care is important. Besides the loss to human life it is reported that much live stock is dying. In Shelby county alone 157 head of horses have died in the wheat fields during the past few days. If you are suffering from the heat or think you are go out in the , wheat or hay field or get up in a hay mow for an hour or two and 1 you will probably think your front porch is a summer resort in comparison. I Several European countries are enthusiastic because President 1 Hi over has promoted the morator- ' turn but what will they say in a ; year from now when efforts are made to resume payments on the war debts. Het a lead nickle they will holler louder than ever. The weather of the past ten days has never been equalled in Indiana we are told and most of us are thoroughly convinced. Just how much of this we are to have this , summer we can't even predict but

experts are expressing the opinion that we are just getting started on some regular equator stuff. ' There are a lot of bargains in the . Decatur stores this week and hum ’ dreds have taken advantages of the offerings. The merchants will keep ! their stores open tonight so if you have missed any of the sales you , still have a few hours. Its worth i getting busy for a dollar or two ' saved is that much earned. This is Fourth of July eve and you have the permission -from Mayor Krick to celebrate it to a reasonable extent. Go ahead and shoot your fire crackers, Roman candles, sky rockets, send up a few balloons, drink a bottle or two of pop and shout your happiness over our independence. Its a great old occasion in this country. Senator Robinson told the Philippines the other day that the United States did not intend to keep their islands indefinitely. Well we have had them a good while and still have them and there are no indications of action in congress to give them back although they have been a nuisance in peace times and a menace in war times. The suit to enjoin Frank Mayr, Jr., secretary of state, from publishing house bill six, a bus regulatory measure, has been completed and is now up to Judge Chamberlain of Marion county who however has asked for briefs from the attorneys and has announced that since there is no emergency he will not decide the ease until the September term of court convenes. The grand jury has also completed its investigation without returning any indictments and it is reported that there was no evidence of fraud discovered. Looks as though there is nothing back of the matter but some petty politics, personal and otherwise. urged on by Indianapolis newspapers. Its remarkable how much fuss they can make over such matters when they so desire.

reparations sacritii es unless France bears her share was given in the house of commons today by Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer. "The latest news from Paris is not very satisfactory," Snowden said. "The British government is quite willing to shoulder the sacrifices which they have declared their willingness to bear, but they are not prepared to make further sacrifices unless other parties are prepared to co-operate.” Snowdens attitude toward making reparations concessions to France wus amply illustrated at the Hague conference in 1929. where he belligerently protested against the share of unconditional annuities allotted France, and demanded and obtained a larger share for Great Britain, forcing the powers to meet his unyielding demands after days of heated dispute. Snowden's statement today was made during the third reading of the finance bill, which makes the new budget effective. The bill was approved, 274 to 222, and the 750,(100,000 budget was passed. WORLD FLIERS WILL GET REST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) may see the famous craft. The fliers and their wives were to leave by automobile at 1:30 p.m. for Stamford to board the yacht Saelmo for the bjeginning of their vacation. After a night aboard the ship, the airmen will cruise to Canoe Point, on Hampton Bay, to lie guests of Todd and former Gover-1 nor Alfred E. Smith. In the evening they will bo guests of Carl Fisher and the National Broadcasting company at Montauk Point. At the request of Gatty. who is an ardent angler, the party will spend Sunday fishing from aboard the Saelmo. That night they will return to New York to prepare for their flight the following day to Washington, where the fliers and their wives will be the guests of President and Mrs. Hoover at luncheon. They will return Tuesday to New York, where they will be honor guests at a dinner of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce. Post and Gatty were enthusiastic over the welcome 1 accorded them By the city yesterday and amazed at the throngs which turned out to greet them. "It surpassed anything we have ever seen," Post said today. "I'm still not sure that it isn't all a dream. 1 am not sure that we are 'deserving of all that has been done for us.” Gatty was equally amazed, and insisted that most of the credit for the flight was due Post. Post and Gatty were honor guests last night at a banquet given for them by the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corporation, the Detroit Aircraft company and Florence C. Hall, wealthy Oklahoma oil operator, who backed the light.
