Get your old eagle eye working so you can take part in the treasure hunt here next Saturday afternoon and evening. Those Cubans are going to fool around until some one gets hurt. They seem to have reached the stage where nothing pacifies them. And that’s always dangerous. Don't let that lightning that is shown on the Blue Eagle strike you for it may sting. So far it has been mild but it has that streaked look that is dangerous. So far not one has suggested a reduced working day f>r the farmer. This time of the year he is lucky to get through in eighty hours. Oh to Huntington the 24th. Its the big dairy day for this part of the country and we wish to invite Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., to give the next one here. Local merchants are making every effort in arranging their hours to take care of the public, realizing that to be their first and most important duty. Patronize them for they are with you and for you twenty-four hours a day, regardless of all else. The General Electric announces another wage increase, which is •very different news than was coming through a few months ago. If that sort of thing continues, you may feel sure that we have entered upon that new era which insisted on remaining just around the corner the past several years. The valuations for Adams county will total less than last year by two million dollars, adding to the perplexities of the budget balancer*!. Expenses are sure to be high-er-next year and fixing the tax rates to comply with every law, is going to cause some old fashioned head scratching. Truck drivers who haven't compiled with the new weight tax law will he arrested over the state this week as the state police discover them. The law became effective August Ist and Captain Matt Leach has ordered that it. be enforced. The tax is one cent a pound on gross weight on vehicles ami for some reason most of the truckers have not yet paid.

The 4-H Colt Club show this week will draw large crowds and will be interesting to many. A fine program has been arranged and those who visit the park will enjoy it. In connection with the show, the local merchants are putting on an old time treasure hunt, which | will prove as popular as these events have in the past. Be a part of the event. Urged by thousands of folks who desired a nickel glass of beer from the keg and recognizing that every state surrounding Indiana was taking advantage of the fact that here the beveridge was limited to bottled beer which sold from ten to twenty cents a pint, the administration has decided to meet the competition and keep the money at home, while pleasing those who claimed to be very much disgusted. And so Hoosiers may now drink their 3.2 either from a glass or bottle. There you are. Take your choice. The American National Bank of Indianapolis will open next Monday, another step towards recovery. This institution will immediately release fifty per cent of the deposits which have been frozen since the closing of the old Fletcher American National Bank and will thus put in to circulation some ten million dollars. Other banks over the state, including the Old First of Fort Wayne will soon follow and we are rapidly coming out of the dark valley of the depression. General Hugh Johnson is to be the headliner at the statewide Recovery rally to be held in Indianapolis the 21st. Know who Hugh is? Well he is the big boss of the show. He is the last word when it comes to placing an okay on codes, to encourage buying, to spank those who do not comply with the government's request. He is a great man and will receive a hearty and enthusiastic welcome to old Indiana, where he will find the- people one hundred per cent behind his campaign to restore prosperity and to get things going. ———<o —

By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyright. 1»3 3, Ki’jf Feature* Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD— One of the oft-repeated rumors of the last few weeks was that Clark Gable had re-

• ‘ I Clark Gable 1

fused to play the lead opposite Joan Crawford in “Danci n g Lady.” Hollywood gossips now can forget it, because Clark will go into the picture' as scon as he convalesces from his operation for appendicitis. The decision to hold the part open for him

was made yesterday when physicians reported the actor to be making splendid progress at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital. Unless complications develop, they believe he will be able to report for work in a couple of weeks. Sighs of relief greeted the news at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, where Director Robert Leonard has tried in vain to find an actor to replace Clark in the cast. And speaking of stellar casts, the Cedars of Lebanon can offer one too. In addition to Gable, the hospital now has Virginia Bruce, William S. Hart, Benny Rubin and Eileen Percy among its patients. Walter Ramsey, the fan magazine writer, tells the one about the two old maids who were knitting in the sunny garden of a New York asylum. Suddenly one of them threw down her work. “Heavens!” she extlaimed. "I wish some handsome man like James Cagney would rush in here, throw his arms around me and kiss me!” Knitting away, her companion said: “Now you’re talking sense. In six months you’ll be out of here." HOLLYWOOD PARADE: Writing as well as mining pays big dividends to Charlie Chaplin. The comedian is reported to have received $50,000 for his book delivered to a national magazine. . . . Meanwhile, Carlisle Robinson, who used to be publicity director for Charlie, will get in the neighbor-

Doan and Pauline Acker w ere also i in the play. We have to give Laura | Christen credit for directing" it. Table number four, Sally Hower ■ and Miss Suttles’ table, gave a 1 short program. Anna Jane Tyndall I gave a reading entitled, "Trials." ■ Zula Porter and Mary M Martin I sang a song. What a song. “Hot- | cha." We had visitors yesterday, Mr. ! and Mrs. Dan Tyndall and daughter 1 Mary K. Tyndall and Mrs. John I Tyndall. We w re very glad to see

hood of $15,000 for the British, first American and serial'rights of his observations about the little actor with the trick moustache, the trick cane and the big shoes. Shyer of publicity than she used to be, Gloria Swanson, accompanied by Michael Farmer, got off the train at San Bernardino, clad in becoming pajamas, and motored in to Hollywood. In a brief stop at Glendale, she paid a visit to her mother. To friends, the actress said her future plans are still uncertain, but that she expects to remain in the film colony for some time. Is it due a note in passing that Sue Carol, Adrienne Ames and Ginger Rogers all were wearing black satin at the Miramar on Sunday evening? Adrienne, whose husband sailed away the day before after announcing their separation, wai accompanied by Bruce Cabot, Sue and Ginger were with Ken Murray and Lew Ayres as usual. All in all, it was a busy week-end for the film folk. W. S. Van Dyke gave a party to the “Penthouse” cast on Saturday night (Mae Clark was with Sidney Blackmer again and Martha Sleeper with Phil Holmes). Sunday afternoon the Reginald Barlows were re-married on their 30th anniversary with Claude Gillingwater re-enacting his original role of best man. Such happily married couples as the Edmund Breeses, the James Gleasons, the Joe E. Browns, the Guy Kibbees grew sentimental to the playing of “When You and I Were Young Maggie.” Sunday night saw a big

We ;ave all eaten cookies 'till we are full up to the ears. We aM have to drink milk every day. Last night we had a weiner and marshmallow roast. After that we came in the house and put on stunts. The stunts were very good. After that we had pop corn and Mary Jane Beery was to blame for putting so much salt on it. Ha! Ha! It was good anyway. Issy has a habit of goipg Hatcha.

FIVE COUNTIES I SECURE QUOTA Counties Have Raised Funds Allotted lor State Police Radio Indianapolis Aug. ! »— (Special) pive more counties (have joined the parade in the State Police Radio campaign, according to an announcement made by headquarters of the State Committee. These are Putnam, Switzerland, Ohio, Posey and Crawford counties, in which the committees in charge have b en successful in securing the quota of subscriptions allotted io them. Putnam County, under the chairmanship of Russell Brown of Greencastle, was first of this group to report success. Posey County s committer was headed by M.A. Perry of New Harmony; E. W. Tilley of Vevay piloted the Switzerland County eommitte.-; and Ralph Jackson I of Milltown and Lucian Harris of Rising Sun led the Crawford and Ohio groups respectively. The organization office reports rapid progress in all counties of the state. Al Feeney, Director of Public Safety, and Jack Harding, secretary of the state committee, have ap-, peared before numerous county | groups to assist with organization I plans and deJiver final instructions at the opening of the active campaign. They have met with a distinct attitude of helpful and willing co-operation and an enthusiastic determination to see the campaign i through to a satisfactory conclu-; sion. The attitude of the farmer to- ■ ward the state police radio system I has been especially gratifying. Al ■ though he does not usually have to submit to holdups, as is the ca»e | with the city merchant, the farmer i is the victim of a great deal of farm I theft, and he welcomes any agency of law enforc nient which will offer more adequate protection against this menace. Accordingly the farmers in all sections of Indiana have seen the value of the proposed radio net work and are I taking a leading part in the solicitation of funds. One point which is being empha-1 sized in communications to county i committees is that every cent con-1 trlbuted goes in full to the State Police Radio Fund, without any deductions for promotional expense.
