The only town In America enjoying a real boom is Reno, Nevada, where.houses cannot be rented and many are living in tents. Its all because of the six week divorce j law and the open gambling. Wej doubt if riches from such sources! will prove very staple. The Chicago lawyers who had soft places on the payroll are now i sweating." Nine have been disbarred and thirty-eight suspended for accepting money without any return in services. We are going through unusual experiences in this “washout." Congressman Henry of Texas, for : years a brilliant figure in the legislative halls of Washington committed suicide yesterday. He spoke at democratic meetings here years ago and w r as considered one of the greatest orators of America. He Had been ill for more than a year. Adams county roads are in excel--1 lit condition, due to the untiring efforts of Superintendent Chris Either arid bis assistants. Its a ’•■if? job to keep the reads good and to please every one but the force are trying their best to meet every demand and at the lowest cost to the tax payers. Such effort deserves recognition. The city of Detroit is going through one of the worst times ever endured by any metropolis in this, country. Populated largely by fat-1 lory laborers, with a large number j of foreigners they are undergoing I all the burdens of a Communist I territory. Yesterday more than a| thousand men who have been liv-1 ing from the $18,000,000 dole fund, j made vigorous demands that this ! be increased to a hundred million and that they be granted a numbe. of conveniences not heretofore enjoyed. Its a serious condition and one that may get worse before it gets better. The supreme court has held the law providing for examination cf those desiring to become lawyers

is constitutional and a committee of five will pass upon the merits of candidates in examinations to be held every four months at Indianapolis. Heretofor it has been . an easy matter to become a mcm- ' ber of the bar but as time goes on the exams will probably become stiffer. For fifty years efforts have been made one way or another to , have the constitution changed so i this could be done and all the time 1 the courts had the rights if they i had known it. The efforts to prevent the Decatur Power Company from serv!ing customers north of this city ! because of interference with the I outside lines, seems very unfair to us. This city has a splendid power plant with ample facilities to take I rare of this field and should he permitted to do so as long as they can furnish current at less than Competitors and since we have j ample facilities to do so without | injury to home folks. The local . plant now lias sixty miles of rural lines and is in every way prepared ;to take care of them to the best [advantage. We doubt if the Public [Service Commission will interfere with a company as successful in [every way as the one here. Here are some interesting figures from the Washington census bureau, which if studied sufficient- | ly, will make you think a little j-eriously: For 1929 the assessed j valuation of property in the 48 j States amounted to $163,683,132,1 727. The amount of general property taxes levied for State ptir- | poses was $368,377,302. The per capita levy was $3.05 for 1929, $3.24 for 1928, ami SI.S3 for 1917. In 1929 there were no general property taxes levied for State purposes in the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Carolina, and California. The increase over 1928 in the assessed valuation of property subject to the general property tax was $8,281,511,880 and the decrease in the levy on this valuation was $16,046,767. The aggregate of valuation given includes the assessable valuation in the four States that do not at present levy a general tax for State purposes. The per capita figures for 1929 are based on an estimated population for the 48 States, of 120,701.900. House bill No. 380, enacted during the last session of the Indiana Legislature, is designed to reduce the number of road accidents on the highways of the state, and to remove from the roads operators of motor vehicles who are financially irresponsible in case of an I accident. Under the provisions of ; House Hill No. 380 motor car ownj ers or operators who figure in an Jaccident and who are found finan-l | .daily irresponsible will have their j licenses taken away from them and j will be unable to obtain them unjlil they have proven conclusively to the proper authorities that they are in a position to take care of any claims which may arise from accidents in which they might figure. A motorist who has no liability insurance must have property sufficient to take care of any judgments that might be taken against him. as a result cf a highway accident. That this act will remove eventually, from the highways of the state, many of the dangerous and irresponsible drivers, is a firm belief of those who have Btudied it. jl'y the elimination of this class of j drivers the travel in Indiana will ! lie rendered more and more safe, ! and fewer and fewer will be the I fatalities, which now mount high l in the course of a year. The act is dated to here me effective October 1. It is to be rigorously enforced by slat- and local officials.—ShelbyIvillc Republican. HOSPITAL NOTE« Mabel and John Marquardt, Monloeville.

[FRANCE TO GIVE BACK WARSHIPS Paris, —(U.R) — The French Goverment has announced tliaf the Ministry of Marine was prewired to give hack to the Soviet Russian Government the twelve former Tsarist warships which have been \ turning to rust in the blue waters of Bizerta harbor, Tunisia. The Moscow government was reI ported to be preparing to ask France to return the warships, i France would he more than pleased j for Bizerta Harbor is none too big ; and the presence of the old war- ( ships and conjests the harbor. The fleet includes one first line battle-Bhip.one cruiser, one auxiliary cruiser, five destroyers and four submarines. These vessels were used to evacu- | ate the Wrangcl army, carrying ' them from Crimea to Tunis, where . they were split up, the soldiers and officers scattering over the world while the warships were interned.' Since that time the ships have been unattended and it is doubtful if they ever could be made seaworthy again. The wooden decks have rotted under the African sun and rains, the bottoms are covered with barnacles and the sides are red with rust. The boilers and engines have rusted and fallen apart. The French Government will reply to Moscow that there is no abjection to Soviet sailors taking the vessel over, but Russia must bear all expense of returning them to a Russian por;. o 2 COUNTY AGENT'S * COLUMN Storage Crops for Winter Use Many gardeners have a fine sum mer crop but fail to provide succulent vegetables for winter use. (rood health demands a liberal supply of garden vegetables throughout the year. Prepare for winter by filling up the vacant spaces and planting liberally with root crops for winter storage. Beets, carrots. Kohl rabi, turnips, cabbase and celery do better during fall than any other time of the year. Prepare soil well and where possible hasten germination by thorough watering after planting. The following varieties are recommended by Purdue University authorities: Danver’s half long carrots; Eclipse or Detroit dark red beets; White Vienna Kohl Rabi; Purple Top White Globe Turnip; Easy Blanching Celery and Hollander or Danish Ball Head Cabbaae. American Purple Top Rutabagas will produce a large crop of excellent quality and are preferred by some to turnips. Only one jrecaution need be given in regard to growing late root crops and that is give them plenty of cultivation and thin the seedlings so they are at least three inches in the row. Last Call for Sweet Corn Everyone IJkes sweet corn sp prepare for the late fall crop in the -arden by planting a generous supply .of Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine this week. Unless one can plant by July 10, better plant Golden Sunshine or Peep O'Day, txith of which mature in less time than Gollen Bantam. To hasten germination soak sweet o.n seed twenty-four hours before planting and if possible give the patch a thorough watering immediately after planting. For those who cannot water, plant after a rain or plant in moist soil and follow with shallow level cultivation. This will help to retain the moisture in the soil and thus hasten the germination. Sweet juicy sweet corn will taste good in iate fall so anticipate that pleasure by planting now. * MAGUEY NEWS 1 » — « Miss Marcella Scherry spent Friiay \with Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Fruchte and family.

CONSTIPATION BRINGS MANY ILLS % m

Die you know that constipation often brings despondency? Poisons spread through the system. You lack pep. Headaches become frequent. No wonder you have the “blues.” Yet constipation can be overcome by having sufficient roughage in your diet. A pleasant way to obtain this roughage is through eating Kellogg’s AllBran. You will enjoy this delicious cereal. And how much better for you than taking habit-form-ing laxatives. Two tablespoonfuls of AllBran, eaten daily, will relieve and prevent both temporary and recurring constipation. All-Bran also contains reeded iron to build up the blood. At all grocers.
