If that hundred in the shade weather continues during the summer, the nudist colonies may thrive beyond their fondest expectations. A few rains will save millions for the farmers and surely they ought to have that break after all they have gone through the past few years. Another thing the dry spring put out of business was the mush rooms, which flare up after the , warm showers and these never did arrive this year. After the state conventions every one will join in an armistice until about the middle of September . when the fall campaign will probably get under way and keep going until November. It s a great old game. The Republicans are having their session today and its hot enough to make the going a little rough in November. The scrap between the Robinson cro.vd and the Watson and Leslie outfits is genuine and I don’t think it isn’t. Democratic County Chairman N. C. Nelson has called the committee- < • men, delegates, candidates and others interested in success this year, | to a meeting here next Saturday. Nate believes in getting an early start and keeping steam up until the last vote is in. The widening of the stale roads, has not only provided work for , large numbers of men but it has been a job well worth the doing. In the years to come this will be proven over and over for there is a growing demand for wider highways as the number of cars in operation, continues to increase. It no doubt looked serious to Senator Robinson when Harry Leslie announced as a candidate and then when Senator Jim Watson withdrew his offer to place Robinson in nomination, it seemed rather hopeless for these old wheel horses usually know where they are going before they crank up the old machine. William Book who has made an excellent record as director of the governor’s commission on unem--1 loyment and the state division of public welfare has resigned to accept a position as the executive of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. He is u very capable man with plenty of steam and good judgment and will prove a very efficient manager for the I. C. C. , Decatur is a going town and live one where people arc doing things t and refuse to lie beaten liack by a , depression. The opening of the : handsome now theater, the govern- ‘ ment experiment on homesteads, the general hum of business, the 1 fact that there are no empty houses here and that every one is employ- | ,

ed. speaks well for the city. Bus I Iness men who advertise are mak | ing progress and wo are on the I way. The Streets of Faris at the World’s Fair have closed and according to announcements, will not be reopened unless they show tho management, that there Is nothing to offend the most fastidious. Last year Sally Rand danced her way to fame and fortune there and the entire show was a fake which catered to the low minded. This year they started off racier than ever and it was decided to put an end to the fancy dancers. It does seem silly that this nation must spend a million dollars a day to maintain a navy but in this uncertain age, when nearly every European country is verging upon war, it behooves America to keep prepared. We hope we need never enter war again but we also hope we will keep in mind that we must, as long as the rest of the world is in a fighting mood, continue to lie ready for those who would invade our boundaries with covetous intent. Officials of fraternal lodges at Athens, Ga., have thought up a little stunt to increase attendance at lodge meetings, and ft looks good enough to pats on for the benefit of such other lodge officials as may need it. Briefly, it is this: Through the Athens Banner-Her-ald, they announced that unless attendance picks up very soon, reporters will be invited to attend all meetings and publish the names of those who are present. This, of course, would mean that husbands who use that oid gag about “going to lodge meeting’’ would have to make good on the statement or listen to some choice remarks from the little woman. It's prob ably a dreadful invasion of the rights and privileges of the male, but the Banner-Herald reports that Athens wives are commending it heartily. And it ought to stimulate lodge attendance greatly! — South Bends News-Times. — o W Unci* . _ ' vl CHARLEY T BY CUARIGY tjRANT , Ai " v«J. — ■* Yes salt, bein' fat settles many a gals fate.

facts. It is the intention of Wii- , Ham Anthony ' {McGuire, who is readying the script of "The Great Ziegfeld** !for its tentative t starting date August 1 at Unil versal City, to use only true incidents in the life of the Great Glorifier when it is turned into celluloid. I Billie Burke is

working with McGuire supplying him with many »(memoirs of her late husband, much of which has not been published or told before. The character of Florenz Ziegfeld will play hero in his own story. Present plans call for the romance . 'between him and Billie Burke to be included with the character of the star who gave up her screen and stage career to be his wife represented. Nothing has been set as to who will play these two roles. Part of the romance will include those clandestine rendezvous at Grant’s Tomb in New York and that first historic meeting between the pair in London before the war. That was when Billie, a reigning star, and Somerset Maugham, the young dramatist of the day, were romantic partners. Ziegfeld, about to leave the party, saw the red-headed Irish lass descending the staircase, handed back his top hat, cape and stick and started a campaign which scored its first victory when he took her home that night The life story of Ziegfeld, authored by Billie Burke, will run as a serial m a New York newspaper this year. In direct contrast to the Universal biographv, Warners will take no chances when they film "British Agent,” the Bruce Lockhart lowdown on what happened during the Russian revolution. Skittish after the British court award to living characters allegedly thinly disguised in the Rasputin picture, they will use fictional names for Trotzky, Lenin, Kerensky, Lloyd George, Stalin, the author himself. But the characters will be cast with actors who will look exactly like the famous ones. Kay Francis and Leslie Howard 1 i carry the romance in the film.
