• Yes sir, this is real summer • weather. What did you expect, ten • below zero? Then there would be <*ume complaining. • "Never saw a better growing •year.’’ said one old farmer today. •And fhats correct and something to •be grateful for. • ■ , Even if we do find the excessive ‘heat annoying it is probably not •as great a strain on some of us as •stoking the furnace and it won’t be long until that exercise will .again be popular. Some of the boys want a special •session of congress to discuss ends .for stopping the business depress.ion. We presume they think its .one -of those animals that can be ‘talked to death. * ————— ’ It those who can would buy the • grainjrom those who have to sell - and hold ft a while the chances are • they would make a lot of money . and then if they can buy it for less „ money than they can raise it, why • isn't it good business? • • - Tin' price of oil has advanced in • the'Oklahoma field from twenty- « two cents a barrel to forty cents .as result of a ten day shut-down • in the fields, proving there is no ; over supply and that all the fellows • haye to do who produce oil is to ’ €< ? n Jjpl its output. That will regu- ■ late the price and is the only thing h that will. ■- The officers and vigilantes did • excellent work in capturing the • men who were burglarizing the Mc- • Connell wholesale .obacco store • and Bob Hill who brought into play . one of the tackles learned in foot- . balHjiroveil himself a hero. The . only way to break up the criminal . wave is to fight those who tints en- . gage-and its not difficult to predict • that in this case the young men , captured will not bother any one ‘ else--*or some time st least.

Get some flowers ready for the big street fair to open here September 15th. To do that you should start planning now for unless you k do it is probable you won't have r. many plants ready. This is always t an interesting part of the big program and Janies Cowan, chairman r and his committee are anxious to make the display this year the best 2 ever shown here. They urge your 0 cooperation. 0 5 0 Do you realize that in less than 5 two months the football squads will D be out practising, the leaves turnI ing red on the maples, the winds whistling an advance tune of winter and that autumn will be at hand? The summer is flying but ■ don’t let that disturb you. Rather enjoy it to the full for after all its a great season and brings pleasures to many that they do not have during the other three seasons. There has been a lot of criticism i of Judge Smith of Princeton, Indi- ■ ana. because he sentenced a thir-teen-year-old boy to a term of one to eight years in prison and it did look stiff. Now comes the jy<ige however with his side of the story which changes things some. He avers that young Tooley is a very bad boy, so tough that he has been sent back from several state institutions with the announcement that he is too bad to keep there. Governor Leslie is investigating the matter. No one has any defense for Albert Fall who reached a high round in the ladder of tame and was convicted for having sold his government out. Neither will many people rejoice in the downfall of this man whose health is broken, his fortune gone and his friends fewer than in the days of his successes, but a peculiar tiling about it is that tlie government has not been able to convict those who paid the bribes, if they are not guilty then no bribe was given and if no bribe was given, then why convict some one for accepting it? The supreme court lias upheld the 1577 segragation law which means that school authorities have a right to prevent colored children from attending classes made up of whites. The ease resulted from a Gary episode where Alberta Cheeks, negress, sought a mandamus against Superintendent Wirt, to force him to permit her to attend the Emerson school instead of yhe Virginia street school built especially for the colored children. It would seem that segregation would be the safest means of avoiding clashes and frequent difficulties. In broad daylight, in an open flat country, where the view is unobstructed for half a mile in any direction, two cars driven by boys raced on intersecting highways. One reached the center half a ear length ahead of the ’other. The fruits of the victory were one girl dead, a boy not expected to live and three others with injuries that needed hospital attention. There were only two cars in the little world that enveloped these youthful drivers, one 14 years old and the other 19. One undoubtedly had the right of way, as traffic laws go, but both had the example of their elders to speed them on and throw caution to the wind. — Los Angeles Times. — Modem Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE (U.R) • Q. Is it correct to have one’s initials engraved on a visiting card? A No initials are engraved on the card that is faultlessly correct. Q. What is the proper way to eat fruits, such as apples or peaches? A. They should be pealed with a small stiver fruit knife, cut into quarters, and then eaten with the fingers. Q. Are there any special rules of etiquette for the beach? A No. — NOTICE M. S.
