Have you ordered your next winter's coal? Anyway this should be good roasting ear weather. Under the head of "The Curse of Plenty" we would like to add the present brand of w'eather. Speaking of popular men we believe our ice man has the biggest following of any man on our street. It used to be that the air was free and now they charge as high as $650 an hour to use it. We heard a person predict today that we were going to have an early fall and a cold winter. Well let ’er come. Dor hot weather reading we sug» test a perusal of the newspaper articles on budgets, taxes and the moratorium problems. Our modern swimming pools made it unnecessary to go to the summer resorts and lakes in order to keep posted on what's new in bathing suits. "hy all this criticism about ‘selling short.' Most sales are a little short this year as compared with a year ago. Portland held its annual Chautauqua this week and those seated under the tent will at least remember that they were not rain' d out this year. The old corn borer seems to be bobbing lip again, just at a time when wtrthought we had him licked and coiiM devote our efforts to other important matters. Ma Kennedy, mother of Almee Semple McPherson was married three weeks ago and now sues for ! a divorce from her minister hus- | band. Well, Elinor Glynn once j wrote a book about three weeks. Warning has been given that counterfeit half dollars are finding their way into circulation.

been made to President Hoover. Eall, aged and disgraced, may have been the victim of unhappy circumstances, but in view of the higher' court's upholding of his conviction it looks as if he would have to serve a year and a day in prison. The world press congress is to lie held in Mexico next month and we have received an invitation to join the good will party to that romantic land. Aside from the "repression'' as Andy would say, we fear that it might be hotter there than tfi Adams county and consequently it’s easy to decline the invitation. The average amount of money spent last year by the people of Indiana was $379.59. Food stores obtained the largest slice and the next largest amount went to the automobile trades. Based on a population of 3.238,503, Hoosiers spent more than a billion and a quarter last year, which is something. The federal government has paid to the owners of the new Union railroad station in Chicago the sum of $5,500,000 for air rights on and near the building. The transaction proves that the postoffice department is fast coming to airplane service in the delivery of mail, but then what are the railroads going to do for revenue. Contrary to the wishes of U. S. Senator Janies Watson and Congressman Albert Vestal and many others from this state, the national committee has decided to use granite and marble in building the base j nd super structure for the George Rogers Clark Memorial at Vincennes. Many wanted Indiana limestone used. There were arguments against this material and the committee has made final selection of the harder material. Our congressional representatives might insist now that Indiana residents be employed on the job. Decatur will be host next week to the American Legion junior baseball players. County champions from Delaware. Madison, Randolph and Jay counties will meet the two Adams county teams and the usual rivalry in sudh events will be shown. The winners of the district meet here wjll compete in the regional event at Huntington. This is the second year that the local Legion Post has sponsored the junior ball league and much whole some sport and athletic training has been furnished the boys. Let’s keep it going and show the visitors a hearty welcome next Thursday and Friday. Before the war th? world area devoted to raising of wheat was I some 198,000,000 acres. In the last ten years the acreage has been increased and it is estimated now that 247,000.000 acres are now under cultivation. Practically every country on the globe grows wheat and in the last ten years the Kansas and western section of the United States has added greatly to the production. It se-ms that we can’t eat it all and markets are flooded with the grain, resulting in unheard of low prices and bringing about of hardships to the farmer who has it to sell. All countries may have i to get together and agree to curtail production, hut that’s hard to do when the individual tigur’s the other way.

By HARRISON CARROLL. j Copyright. 1931, Premier SyrJlcat?, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, July 00.—You ean criticize the producers as much as you like, but occasionally they do hit upon a happy idea. ' For instance, PKO’s plan to star Edna May Oliver in “The F I’ o s tmistress.” | H <qtl The angular! % actress, who ft . " scored such a > hit in “Cimar- d?' & ron,” fits right SB into my idea of the rural scene. And as Lou i s , > Sarecky out- ? lines the story, j it should be one' of the bright Edna May spots of the Oliver, season. Edna May, the village postmistress, inherits SIO,OOO and finds herself the belle of the town. 1 Joseph Cawthorn, Rosecoe Ates and Hugh Herbert play the three rivals for her favor. Suddenly arrives in their midst the boy from the citv —to be played by Hand-Kisser Ivan Lebedeff. Forthwith, the rural swains all try to make continental love. This set-up, as I look at it, i promises plenty of comedy. Mr. Sarecky, an assoicate producer, is to be complimented on his idea. And Bill Seiter needn’t worry about the direction. It should be a natural. FATHER-LOVE. That “Sundown Trail” Company, on location at Victorville, sends another which ought to click.

Pathe got a great play recently from the owners of Fancy t Poultry. The word got around s that the studio was looking for a new rooster to crow at the beginning of its pictures. Immediately * Culver City became a Mecca. A 1 gentleman from our neighboring I republic insisted his Mexican fighting cock should be used in , Spanish versions.

Their lazy production of eggs, says an Italian economic expert, is a considerable factor in - Italy's world trade deficit. Before the war Italy was a heavy exporter of poultry and eggs. Now she is a large importer. Her imports have been growing larger ev ry year with a consequent depressing effect upon Italy’s trade balance. Before the war Italy exported eggs worth 48,313.395 lire, while she imported only 4,065,930 lire. Her eggs exports were more than 10 times greater than her imports, while export of live and killed poultry was approximately four times greater than imports. In the first two months of this year, Italy paid 16,044.138 lire fori foreign eggs, compared to 12.067,-1 150 lire for the corresponding per-; iod in 1930 and 8,082.184 lire in 1929. The same ratio of increase is remarkable for both live and dressed poultry, purchases of live poultry increasing from 2,022,000 lire in 1929 to 12,884,435 lire forth" first two months of 1931. o Famous Mining Town Bring S9OO At Sale Warren, Ida., —(UP)—Dead leaders of this once famous mining camp must have turned over in their graves the other day when, i.iixs town was sold ‘lock, stock and > barrel” for S9OO. It is a far cry from the town of I the "70s’ to the present town ot to-| day. The Florence gold discovery! impelled the settlement of Warren ' Miners flocked in from all over the' country. Then the mine began to peter out I and the town was deserted. Some time ago the town was removed from the Idaho National' forest and reverted to the interior] department. The sale was to estab-] lish claims made by “squaters" pre- j vious to the transfer. •

U. S. GIRLS SEEK JOBS IN FRANCE p ar | Si — (UP)— According to Leo] J. Kenna of the United States con sulate-general in Paris, American girls are. exhibiting a greater spirit ] of adventure than American boys, in seeking to secure full or part- i time jobs in the French capital. "They all seem to think." said , Kenna, “that life Is unusually glamorous here and that work is easy to find. They are all motivated by a spirit of adventure, and many of them want to leave their good jobs at home and come over here on the faintest prospect of getting something to do. The deplorable truth in most cases. Is that the young women have just enough money for a one-way ticket." As fast as these letters pour into the American consulate — and they are increasing every day they are answered courteously but firmly. stating that getting work ot this kind is practically an impossibility. The labor office here has shut the lid down tight, giving what employment is to be offered to their own out-of-work citizens first. Later if there are extra jobs to spare, they will loosen the rigidity of the present ruling. “Since April 1" continued Kenna '1 have received letters from more than eighty localities, ranging from rural towns to the largest cities in the United States, and the same is true of the consulate offices in London, Berlin, Rome and other European capitals In fairness to these people, the majority of whom are girls and women, we make a desperate effort to discourage them.
