SIMMONS LEADS L- ' JUNIOR LEAGUE New York. June 6.— (U.R) —The sage who remarked that clothes .make the mau. must have had Aloysius H. Simmons in mind. jGarbed in a new uniform and a pair of pale hose, the big Polish pellet pounder has snapped out of his 1932 batting slump and walloped s his way to the top of major league j hitters. j Lou Comiskey gave the Philadelphia Athletics about 160.900 last I September in order.to shove Simj, mans into a Chicago White Sox uniform, and he’s paying the 39i year-old outfielder about $33,000 for playing this season. But it seems money well spent because Al is proving a dynamic spark plug for the erstwhile "hitless woofers".' , ers.” i With Simmons setting the pace! ■ for Ivar Swanson. Luke Appling, 1 . Minter Hayes and Ralph Kress, the I Chisox have developed a punch l ( that would make them formidable, I pennant contenders were it not for I . comparatively poor pitching. As it' i is. they'll probably give Cleveland !a hard fight for fourth position. Simmons displaced Johnny Ho- ’ dapp of Boston's Red Sox as lead-1 , ing batsman in the majors yester-l day when he boosted his percent-I age to .374. This is much better , than the average of .3223 to which , he sank last season. Simmons drove in four runs yes- , terday with a triple and two singles as Chicago trounced St. Louis 14 | to 7. enabling the Chisox to dis I i place Cleveland at third position lin the American league. Every! White Sox batsman got at least two ihits, including home runs by Carl' Reynolds and Debs Garins. Cleveland dropped to fourth | when repulsed 8 to 7 by Detroit.' The Tigers pulled the game out of i the fire with a two-run spurt in the! ninth. Gehringer made a homer! in the seventh. Lefty Grove, quitting his role as i relief pitcher, started his first game • since May 6 and turned in his 1 season's eighth victory as Phila- ’ delphia snapped out of its four- j game losing sire k and beat Wash-! ington. 7 to 4. He allowed the Sen- '■ 'ators 11 hits, but was effective in I ! pinches, and also made a homer in' the fourth. Fred Schulte made a' homer for Washington They were the only games sched-1 uled in the American circuit. Only one game was slated in thel National league, but rain caused cancellation of that contest at the end of the third frame with St. Louis leading Cincinnati. 2 to 1. It • will be played later. — I —o INTENSE HEAT OVER COUNTRY «'• >NTINTET> FROM PAGE ONE) belt, there was a rush to beaches • and swimming pools. Country folks took dips in streams and rivers. The blistering heat in the southwest brought reports of four deaths and a number of prostra- ! tions. 94 At Indianapolis I. dianapolis. June 6—<U.R>—The temperature at Indianapolis at 1 o’clock this afternoon was only 1 degree under the ail time heat record for June 6 when it reached 94 The highest record ever reported for the day was #5 in 1925.

SMALL VOTE IS BEING CAST IN ADAMS COUNTY — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE* i ; not a single meeting was held ad- • vocallng repeal of the dry amendI rnent. The drys organized sometime : ago and formed a county organization with Rev. M. W. Sundermann. pastor of the Evangelical Church in this city as general chairman Several meetings were held in the 1 county, including the Bishop 1 i James Cannon meeting at Berne j and the Dr. Crane meeting in this • j city. Little interest was shown by, voters and election day found no organization to get out the vote or to bring in those entitled to vote, ! as is the case in political elections. One reason ascribed was that winning the election did not mean jobs for the faithful. The names of Jacob Long. Geneva and Frank McConnell ap- , peared under the emblem “For , Ratification.” Edison Sprunger of Berne and Amos Ketchum of! Decatur are the candidates 1

THOUGHTS and I THINGS I THE business of living, when boiled down and all the j froth skimmed off. is just a matter of thinking. I Each of us is continually thinking ideas of our own | and swapping them for the ideas of others. If there is I a famine of outside ideas we shrivel up ourselves. Chil- I dren with “nobody to play with" are unhappy and | unmanageable. 1 From thinking with our heads to doing with our j hands is but a little step and then our thoughts become | things. J It is because men of America are so unfettered in | their thinking and doing that this country is such a fine ~ place to live in. It is also because these thoughts are ; freely radiated and spread broadcast, in the distribu- ! tion of manufactured things and in the distribution of l the facts about them (advertising), that this country is I such a fine place to live in. The originator of an idea is not much better off than before he originated it till he gets some one else to ab- | sorb it and enjoy it and benefit by it. • The man or woman surrounded by better thoughts • and things but who pays not the slightest attention to I them is not much better off than the one wih “nobodv to I play with.” The advertisements in the papers are thoughts—tell- I ing you about the things that other men and women | have created for your happiness. Read the ads. They I are the voices from hundreds of thousands of looms, | shops, foundries, studios, laboratories, where millions of i minds are turning pleasant thoughts into worth-while things for your comfort. |

"Against Ratification.” For ra’i- ! fication is a vote for repeal ana : against ratification is a vote iu } favor of the 18th amendment. The delegates receiving the largest number of votes will ' represent the county and cast the county's vote in the special state convention. June 26, on the I question.
