With thirty dead and more than two hundred ill with sleeping sickness in the St. Louis epidemic, every physician in that territory has enlisted in the tight to conquer the disease, about which little is known. It is the worst seige of that kind ever recorded in this country and there is great fear that it may spread outside. Playing it safe so that Samuel Insult will never return to America, the Chicago grand jury has indicted him for violations of the , federal bankruptcy laws. So far , all efforts to get him back from Greece have failed and probably will but there will be some satisfaction perhaps in the thought that he has been duly and trifly indicted by a jury. Wonder why we don't have a uniform system of red and green crossing lights. In some places they are in the center of the street, at others on the corner and in a few, you have to hunt to find them. Surely there is nothing much more important than automobile traffic and f, .8 about time we had the same rules in every city, county and state, so the driver will know what to expect and what to look for. Governor McNutt begged for cooperation in the national and state plans to aid the people. He asked that every one support the NRA and the various movements in which effort is being made to save the homes of farmers and townsmen and every able bodied < man to earn a living. Mr. Kraft referred to the governor's address as the best he had heard in the , great recovery campaign and askeded al! to follow *lll6 wise advice given. Practically every connty in Indiana will have a higher tax rate next year than they did this but i that is no argument that the income tax is not a good thing. Rest assured that if it were not for that, the rates would have to be much higher and owning real estate would be impossible for most folks. Valuations are lower and your taxes will not be as high as they were a year or two ago, so don’t be unreasonable in your criticisms. Ixians are now possible through the Home Loan Corporation by following instruction which have been published and which are ob-

tainable through the local attorney, N. C. Nelson. or the county appraiser, Winifred Gerke. These loans aru to be made for the present only to those who are In distress and who otherwise would lose their homes. It may be that wider range will be permitted later but at present only those in that class need qpply, according to Instructions. Several hundred Adams County teachers will tonvene here Monday for the annual teachers’ institute and Clifford Striker, county superintendent, has prepared an excellent program. Speakers will include John G. Benson of Indianapolis and Dr. John G. Fowlkes of the University of Wisconsin, educators worth the time and careful thought of any one engaged in the profession of teaching. We extend a welcome to the teachers and we are sure they will each and all enjoy the three wonderful days thus afforded them. A movement is on it seems to do away with the proposed registration law as a tax saving jesture. It is doubtful if the money thus saved would bo noticeable and it is probable that in the long run we don't save much money by permitting unfair elections. It is true that in this county the registration will cost some $3,000 next year but after that the cost will be slight and the benefits great. It would provide a poll book for those interested in elections and their results and it would make it impossible for any to vote, except those eligible. It has merit and we doubt that tossing it overboard now that we have it would be the very , wisest course. | The Huntington boys—and they have a live bunch —have sent word they will be glad to cooperate with Decatur on the next Dairy Day and they are willing to send a a committee to meet with a Decatur committee any time we are ready. Prior to yesterday, many folks there were dubious when they were told the crowd wonld be in excess of 20,000, but when the Decatur delegation arrived and the others began to come in and they ran out pt tickets after passing "out 36.000 every one knew that Dairy Day had become an institution and one that these two cities will gladly continue and to that end Mr. Kraft and Mr. Klepper and the other officials have promised all assistance. • • Household Scrapbook I —By— ROBERTA LEE ♦ — • Linoleum Linoleum or oilcloth shonld not be washed with hot soap suds.

GOLD LEGEND Os SIERRAS IS RECALLED Tale of Mexican And Scotch Cow hoys Revived In California Bridgeport, Cal.. —ll P) A legend of gold, bared on the tragedies , of a Mexican and a Scotchman, is ; one of the Ules told in isolated Mono County of the high Sierra see-I tion. The story had origin in 18,0.1 when a carefree Mexican, a rider I for Jesse Summers, was herding. cattle near here. Returning to the ranch, the Mexican tossed a piece of rodk to George Pettigrew, a | Scotchman, of the Summers’ cow-1 boy band. There was a strong friendship bo | tween the two. Old-tim-ers say that ■ Pettigrew was overjoyed when the i Mexican told him he was to be his I partner and that they would go out | to ataki- a joint claim on the spot , where he had found the rock the I next Sunday. The Scotchman’s elation was well ; founded, for it was discovered that the rock assayed half gold. But fate took a hand. Rancher ■ Summers ordered the Mexican to I accompany a drive of beef cattle i to the boom town of Bodie. Hardly had the cattle ber?n disposed of ’ when the Mexican went to one of, the gayest establishments. Gambling was in full sway. Drinks flowed The stage was set for something to happen. He became embroiled with another Mexican.. Knives flashed. The young Mexican fell mortally wounded, to the floor. He , died without disclosing the secret of his gold lode. George Pettigrew kept the goldladen stone for many years. Fre- 1 quently he searched for a clue to the Mexican’s treasure. Pettigrew I died, without success. Modern gold seekers also have been unsucceasful. o— —— Pigeon Exhausted by Flight Ogden, Utah. - (U.R) — Thousands of miles from home, a slate-blue carrier pigeon was picked up exhausted recently by Robert Aland I from the window sill of his home I here.
