We read so much about the •'teeth’’ in the new stock market control law, that we presume the advice will be, see the Federal dentist at least twice a year when fooling around Wail street. We are not well informed about Allen county politics but we feel sure they turned off a good man when the Democrats defeated Sam Clelland for county chairman. Mr. Campbell who will succeed him is a capable and popular man and should make an excellent record. It looks now that the Chicago' fair may be more successful even this year than last for more people can afford to go and they have’ really added some attractions that i appear to be worth while. If it goes over big they might make it permanent. Those who are earning money now should start a saving’s account so that If drab days come again they will be able to weather the waves. The past five years have been horrible for so many that it would seem assured they would start saving now and keep it up until they had more than sufficient

tor a few rainy days. There were twenty-one murders | in London last year. That’s not | very many for the largest city in the world. Twenty of the crimes were solved and the murderers punished. That’s why they didn’t have more. This nation could gain by following some of their rules. There is not much danger of a man like Dillinger or any of his crew doing business over there. In his speech to the Democratic central committee, Dick Heller, retiring chairman, stated that this county has twenty-six people on the state payroll, that local firms sold more than SIO,OOO worth of sugar, meat and butter to the state. We stand seventeenth in the state for patronage received, which is probably the best record ever made by this “green spot.” Before costly repair bills are necessary, protect and beautify your house with SunProof.

This is the dosing week for the public schools and of course one of the happiest one of the year for graduates and their relatives and , friends. The commencement exercises will be held next Monday evening and in the meantime there 1 1 are a number of Interesting events | usual on the program for the seas- . on. We hope every one enjoys ’ | every thing to the limit. With county organizations com- ' plete, Its time for every one to I buckle on the armour, forget personal feelings and be regular. 1 While the active campaign will not open for several months, the success at that time, will depend largely on the propaganda scattered in the meantime. If you believe in principles, fight for them and don’t try to even up with some one on a personal matter. Senator LaFollette is following the tradition of his father by standing for a new political party. They never made one for his dad and even when he got up a party of his own and did much to write the platform, he admitted It wasn’t Just what he had hoped for. Young Bob should realize that perfect ideals are unobtainable when they must be the compromises of a large number of people. We are in accord with AttorneyGeneral Lutz’s opinion: “ We’re dressing in Indiana." Just why the sudden popularity of nudist’s colonies in the middle west, we can’t fathom. We can’t imagine any thing particularly artistic in a group of adults running around ( naked and we don’t believe they are doing it either for art or health. They are Just a bunch of “low- > brows” trying to attract attention ! and in a filthy way. In nearly every county in Indiana there were numerous candidates who got but a few votes. In Marion county many did not receive a single vote in more than a hundred precincts. In this county there were a number who did not receive support that would seem , to have warranted their entrance in the races. Under the present ' law there is no way to stop this and it is suggested now that each

candidate post a bond which will be forfeited if he fails to receive a | fixed number of votes in his race. Don't know how that would work but surely there is some way to control these primaries to save expense and embarrassments. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.

By HARRISON CARROLL | Copyright. 1*34. King Feature* Syndicate. Ina. ( HOLLYWOOD, Cal., .—A : sub-rosa search is on for Holly- 1 wood’s strangest thief, a man who 1 plays a clarinet, . handles a ma- _ chine - gun and has an eye for a r weil-cut coat. All three of JggSa these articles were stolen _ *'* from the set of .. JgOEt ‘‘Down to Their ■** Last Yacht,” a w picture now be- ' ing completed at the R-h-0 studio. gsk » The mysteri- ± ous thief operat- - ped while the company was Sidney working. Sidney Blackmer Blackmer discovered the first loss when he went to get his coat for a scene. It couldn’t be found so the annoyed actor had to get a different outfit and retake some scenes in which he had worn the missing garment. One of the musicians lost the clarinet and the property department is minus the machine-gun. Weapons of this sort are kept in studio safes and are regularly checked by local authorities. Highpowered sleuthing is certain to follow the theft of the gun. As nearly as I can find out, the only article recovered was Blackmer’s coat, which a watchman discovered later on a deserted stage. Lewis Stone has a story for those who yearn to go back and see the old homestead. The actor recently made a sentimental journey to Boston seeking to recapture some of the memories of childhood. With a lump in his throat, he approached the house of his birth. And then he got the shock. It bore a large sign reading: "Home for Indigent Women.” Some kind of medal is due Jack 1 La Rue for being Hollywood's most I complete family man. For months I now, the actor has maintained a ; home for his mother and four sisI ters. Now he is taking a 9-room house and will bring on his father, another sister and three nephews and niecea. Amusing, what strange turns a joke may take. At the Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer studio. Cedric Gibbons made several trips to Walter Wan-

The first flag they could lay their hands to j was a skull and cross-bones from the “Treasure Island” set. Which was all very well until the secretary forgot to take it in and the menacing symbol was discovered by the studio police. They thought some communist had staged a May Day demonstration and hauled Jolly Roger to the ground, j Sam Wood says he heard the conversation between two extras. First girl: “Is this guy smart? He speaks 8 languages.” Second girl: “Yeah, but he must be kind of hard to understand.” Remember Stuart Holmes who used to be Theda Bara's leading man in her hey-day as a screen siren? The actor and his wife now delve into astrology and often read the horoscopes of Hollywood stars. In a recent issue of an astrological journey, Holmes carries this further and analyzes the zodiacal influences governing the various studios. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, he says, is ruled by Leo; Universal by Pisces—hence its many pictures dealing with horror angles; Warner Brothers by the Twins (Gemini) ; Fox by Taurus and Paramount by Cancer.
