Don't be downhearted. The Ovilia Dionnes became famous in one day. The fellow who has been smiling these days either sells ice. ice cream or electric refrigerators. “Views differ on NRA codes." reads a headline, which isn't any-! thing much out of line, considering I this ia America. Governor Rolph is still putting up a gallant fight for his life and may surprise the medical experts who gave him only a few hours to live. The announcement that the city swimming pool will open tomorrow comes as welcome news to the boys and girls who in the past few days have been waiting for a dip in the cool water. Temperatures went up faster yesterday than the stock market ■ did in 1929. Locally the thermometers reached a high of 100 and if that isn't a hot day in June, try taking a walk on a concrete pavement. If you can build or create a bird refuge on your farm do it. Protecting bird life is not only a public spirited act, but one of wisdom, as the feathered friends often keep the farm free from destructive insects and bugs. Don't dump rubbish along the river banks. Recent experience of the city has shown it a costly matter, the seuer at the Madison street entrance to the river becoming, clogged with tin cans, rubbish and what-not. If you have rubbish which you cannot dispose of, get in touch with the city street department before taking it to the city dump. The Gettle kidnapers received an additional 37 year sentence from the federal court yesterday for using the mails in making the demand for ransom of the oil millionaire. The federal stretch makes it impossible for the kidnapers to be pardoned at the end of ten years and is proof that the government means business in stamping out this dastardly crime. Dedicated to the recovery program and in tribute to President Roosevelt, the annual edition of the Ravelings, published by the Seniors of Det atur high school, received tine recognition from the Chief Executive. Through his secretary, Miss Barbara Krick, editor of the high school publication, received a letter from President Roosevelt, expressing his appreciation for the copy and the spirit behind the dedication of the book. It is a recognition well earned.

Louis Ludlow, congressman from the Indianapolis district and a real worker in the halls of congress, announced his candidacy for the , Democratic nomination for United States senator yesterday. Ludlow is an astute politician, believes in ‘ giving public service and has a record of achievement to his credit. ■ He Is tlie ninth man to announce ' his candidacy for the nomination. Other leaders In the field are R Earl Peters, Clarence Manion, Shay i Minton and George Cole. I i It ia gratifying to note the re1 newed interest taken in the Boy I Scout organization and the plan i underway to reorganize the troop at St. Joseph's school. The pastor directors of the school will include Scout activities as part of the school's boys works program and will lend that helping hand which makes for success and attainment among the boys. Scout work is a fine thing for youth and its teachings and principles aid in building better manhood. With increased enthusiasm scout leaders will help promote interest among the boys, knowing they have helped in a community service program by so 1 doing. The State Conservation department, through local fish and game conservation chapters, are endeavoring to restock the state with game fish aud bird life. It is the purpose of the department to increase wild life and to make Indiana one of the leading states in ' point of interest for sportsmen. Among other things, members of I local chapters endeavor to create j a better understanding between land owner and hunter and in this respect all should try to cooperate. [ Respecting the rights of others is the best way to get along and the program of the conservation department calls for mutual understandings between all.

NEW OBSTACLE FOR ROBINSON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tion. Watson said he will deliver an address at Elkhart tonight but will return to Indianapolis for the state Iconvention Tuesday. He said he would not attend the national Republican committee reorganization meeting at Chicago and denied that he is seeking the national G. O. P. chairmanship.

BULLETINS ON LITTLE FARMS Department Os Agriculture Answers Questions On Part-time Farming Washington June Many letters from city people wanting information on part-time suburban farming are being received by the United States Department of Agriculture. Typical inquiries are: "How much land do 1 need to grow enough food for a family of five? Should il keep cows and chickens? What vegetables and fruits should I grow?" “Gardening and poultry raising on a small piece of land is about all an employed man and hte family tan care for i>y hand." says the department in a bulletin just is .tied on the practical problems of parttime farming. “About one acre of good land is enough for such purposes," if the family wants to keep a cow and plans to buy the necessary winter feed, two acres of good pasture land, in addition should be enough, and the extra work will not be excessive," the department adds. “Men employed only part time or short hours and who have large families and small incomes," says the department, "may find it economical to keep a mil's vow. or milk goats, and some pigs, and raise the necessary feed in addition to having a garden and keep poultry. This plan means the use of horse or mechanical power and ehouM be tried only after experience and careful consideration." The department's publication is intended primarily for use by persons who are planning to engage in part-time farming as a means of supplying the family with garden foods; it does not deal with many of the problems of the organized subsistence homestead projects of Department of the Interior. The department points out also that although “many families with small incomes can lower their living costa by living on a small piece of land and growing their own food, parttime farming has certain problems that are somewhat different from the usual farming problems. Those who are inexperienced often overestimate the savings made possible by this way of living, and they underestimate the costs in the way of the labor and cash necessary in such part-time farming. "This combination of farming and wage work off the farm, now usually tailed subsistence farming,” the department continues, “is particularly attractive to those families with several children v.ho find it difficult to provide suitable housing and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables from their small incomes. It is much less attractive if wages from work off the farm are not enough to meet the necessary cash expenses of the farm and the family living. Inexperienced people will encounter severe competition if they try the family living. Inexperienced people will encounter severe competition if they try to raise farm produ Vs for sale.” Many city people who live on farms in their childhcod are inquiring about subsistence or ' self-suf-ficing" farming ou twenty to one hundred acres or more. The dep trtment says that many farms are apparently suitable for such a purpose are now for sale at relatively low prices, but that many serious problems are involved in this kind of farming. With regard to acquiring cheap laud for general farming

it is stated that "in many areas this I cheap land is extremely poor and ! has failed to yield a reasonable living tinder any kind of farming. For this reason extreme care must be exercised in selecting a so-called cheap farm.'’ The department says that enough vegetables and small fruits can be raised on one-half to three-quarters { of an a re of good land to furnish a family of five with all they want during the summer and with plenty of canned stored, and dried products for the winter" but that "these small fruits and vegetables, togeth er with a small poultry" flock and a few fruit trees, are all that can be cared for properly by the ordinary family without a horse or garden tractor, if the man is chiefly employed in some other job during the growing season." Studies in several states, the department says, indicate that almost all part-time farmers keep a few hens, usually not over twenty five The hens are fed on table straps anti axinnn ariiin Miul thiiK furnish
