The fellow who works in a pressing shop thinks be has the hottest place these days. Think of the life guard who sits in the sun waiting for something to happen. Are you getting ready for the Fourth of July holiday? Do your shopping now. plan your trip, picnic or whatever you have in mind and enjoy yourself. Last year a bottle of good beer would have tasted good, while now the other fellow tells how much better a stein from the old keg would be. Well, it's the desire for change that keeps things moving around. Professor Moley is on his way to the Economic Conference in l London. He holds the role of be i ing the President's personal representative and if he makes as good over there as he has been doing on this side, he’ll come home with ' a reputation fe aatesmanship. Congressman -Glen Griswold. ■ making a speech the other day in Wabash, said, “I'm happy to be here for of the 5.000 people 1 see only four do not want to be ap-1 pointed postmaster." Congress may be in vacation, but a Congressman ■ has another idea about the period of relaxation. Judge Ryan of the Marion county superior court has ruled that the Indiana gross income tax law is valid. A friendly suit was brought to test tne constitutionality of the act and decision was rendered yesterday. The first two months of the 'ax is due July 1 and payable on or before July 15. One of the popular places in this city is Legion Memorial park on South Winchester strectt Every Sunday several family reunions and picnics are held there and with tabes, benches and other convert fences placed there by the city, the park is a haven for those who love the outdoors and want to bask under the shade of beautiful trees.

[sell. ' A year ago many farmers ; were feeding wheat to hogs, which ( was more or less expensive, the grain not being equal to corn in *' food value. t Congressman James I. Farley, in . last evening's Daily Democrat, con- '• tributed an article explaining the provisions of the new federal home loan mortgage bill. Mr. Farley beJ lieves that the necessary legal ma- > chinery will be set by July 10, so ['that the business organization can i go ahead with the loaning of mon- [ ey to those who wish to refinance mortgages. Illinois is to hive a two per cent sales tax, the legislature passing a new bill to take the place of the one hed unconstitutional All states are bothered about the taxation problem and it seems to be universal that part of the tax burden must be taken off of real estate and distributed in other ways. . With reduced state budgets in . future years, there is no reason why property or real estate taxes should be high. Our regret is that the posse failed to capture the bandits who shot and killed the cashier of the LaCrosse State Hank. Ordered to hold up his hands. Cashier Tennell complied and then informed the I yeggs that the time lock prevented the opening of the vault. With that' statement on his lips, the banditsl fired at the cashier, the bullet | piercing his heart. Os course if the j posse had captured the gunmen it probably would have been useless to recommend the form of punish-' ment they deserved. The dollar per bushel wheat price is for fu'ure deliveries and not that quoted for July. However the market price for next month ' delivery took a boost of nearly < ' four cents a bushel, rising to about i 93 cents, an advance of nearly 50 : cents over a few months ago. In : view of the unfavorable weather • * « conditions in the west and north-! west, it is likely that the price will continue to go up and it would not surprise many if the price went to -a dollar a bushel next month. That ■ would bo somethin!; if everyone had ’ a few thousand bushels to sell. The rules promulgated by the ' state's safety director requires that I dealers enclose their fireworks in I nonin flammable containers, exposed i only to the window-shopper. De- | liveries of fireworks are prohibited ; prior to July 1. That will provide ample opportunity for the citizen to purchase sufficient stock of pyrotechnics. The authorities should also be vigilant in prevent-' ing premature celebrations. Parental co-operation should go far to restrain impatient youth. The average individual is tolerant of I noise-makyrs on the Fourth. There is no reason, however, why two or three days before that date should be included in the celebrating period. —Indianapolis Star. SWEEPING GAIN MADE IN TRADE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ! they were worth >229.000,000. Foreign trade normally* is on the down trend »: May and June but estimates for the latter month indicate a volume as great or greater than in May. Imports this month which generally are closely paralleled by exports, are well ‘in excess of June, 1932. In the first 24 days of June, i the United States collected 118,003,681 in customs duties compared with 113,870,553 in the corresponding period last year. Customs receipts in May were J 20.515,215. the highest since Novembei when they amounted to >24,050,876. The principal increase in Amer-1 lean sales abroad, department of i commerce statisticians said, has! been in products which have not risen in price tn the domestic market in sympathy with the decline in the dollar. o HOSPITAL NOTES Ralph Ktenk, Route 7.

r COUNTS AGENTS COLUMN ♦ • O. C. Lee, weed specialist of ( Purdue and County Agent An-hbold visited five weed demonstrations in 9 the county. M<«etlngs were held si ' each of these points to show the • results <rf spraying and cultivation to control the European bind wend •uid Canada thistle. The first farm visited was the Theodore Ewell . farm where a bind weed meeting ' was the topic of discussion. European bind weed is a morning glory plant producing a pinkish white 1 flower. This is one of the most ser- * ious weeds tti the United States and ' consUntly showing up on the farms of the corn belt. Mr. Ewell made 1 the following statement, “1 noticed a small patch only a f w years ago. ' An attempt was m.ide to eradicate * by hoekg. lu spite of hoeing the patch enlarged in three years and 1 in 19G2 covered an area of apptr--1 cntly one-fourth of an acre." The ana was sprayed with a solution of - sodium chlorate using about 75 pot* .da of material. Only cue plant was found this yetr. The second ,I'arm visited was owned by William Meyer where both cultivation and i I spraying was u> d and now but a few pLnts of Canada thistle were I fou.d iu both areas sprayed a-ud f cultivated that necessitate a ret spraying this year. In the afternoon > a m«etk« was cdl d on the farm of t Ever tt Banter. We observed the , result of broad leaf Canada thistle. The main area of the patch was I killed -by chlorate sprayt g and [ small plants around the edge of jhe . patch have been r. sprayed. Next , tile result of est an cultivatio nwas , observed on the T-. Ifer Runyan farm. The patch was plowed in the ■ spring and disked often enough to k'. ep from growing. Only one pla-tH . was found-in the cultivated area. I The last meeting was held on the farm of Peter B. Lehman where a patch of about Is..*>-fourth of an acre - in size was sprayed. Mr. Baxter applied the chemical with a, power | ; sprayer. The Canada thistle owners that . had not destroyed them are ready - to spray. Sodium < hlorate is the , most -effective material. The sod- • ium solution should be made by dis-1 solving one pound of chlorate to! one gallon of water acid the solu- i tion sprayed on the vegetatioa. You should be careful that the job of - spraying is thorough and the pitch i compleb.'ly covered. It may be nec-1
