It would help considerably if some of the alleys which are used as much as many of the streets, could also have a mat of oil. Another paroled prisoner has j gone wrong and partisans are try ; ing to show that its due to the in-! determinate sentence law. That is just for politics for the same folks would be yelling if some prisoners were held for years because the warden might think they had■ criminal minds. Delegates to the state convention, members of the county cen-1 tral committee and candidates met' here today, upon call from N. C. Nelson, county chairman, to discuss plans for the convention and the campaign. These get-together events are always helpful and a good sign of an interesting campaign later in the year. Lilly Holley, sheriff of Lake county is still hunting Dillinger and declares if she had four more deputies and a little money she could accomplish her purpose and vindicate herself and her sex for per-1 milting the oandits escape. Shej claims to hare spent SI,OOO of her "own money and doesn't feel able to go much farther. Doctors advise us not to talk “about the heat which is fine but 2,they might also tell us not to think 1 “about it for what we get in our minds. most of us insist on talking ‘ about. About the only way to fol"low the advice is to keep our minds • busy with work and then though i - -we may persmre, we won t notice • it nearly so much. Reports continue to come that • boys are shooting song birds, a practise that is not only unlawful —but one that shows a wrong spirit. X>ne lady told us today that in a L. short walk near her home, she | -found a dead wren, a robin and a .red bird, all having been killed bytarget guns. If the work is con-

tinned, the officers should see that those who persist are punished by law. The state insurance department recommends the Installation of three additional water hydrants in , the down town district and that recommendation should be given immediate attention. Any thing that prevents the spread of fire Is a good investment and those whose business it is to guard against conflagrations should and do no doubt know what is best. Some Republican newspapers are getting much ratisfaetlon from the fact that the poll on the Roosevelt policies is showing only a three to I two preference. Well that's strong enough and about all that could be expected in this country where we swing from one extreme to another rather qutckly. The President is still popular and those who throw stones at him. know it. They are just trying to build propaganda. Adams county will by July Ist have drawn more than $70,000 under the new tax laws for support of her schools. Figure It any way you want to but without this the | schools could not have operated and if we had to raise this much additional, the tax on the old farm or home would have been confiscatory. The more you think the | gross income tax law over, the more sensible it appears. Henry P. Fletcher will try to sell I the country on Hoover policies ! again this year, but if we are any ; cuessers. the period of 19'_’9 to 1933. when he held the reins, is still too near to make any one wish to return. The Pennsylvania follower ' lof Mellon will criticize and find ■ ' fault but we doubt if he convinces i i many voters. Certainly his doc- j I trines will not find favor in the' I middle west or in any other part of | . the country, except perhaps in his own state and its doubtful if they will be popular there. Senator VanNuys is home from Washington and is assisting thel Democratic leaders to line up a winning ticket for the November election. The capitol city will swarm with delegates and workers the next few days and the convention Tuesday is expected to be one of the most interesting in years. There are ten announced candi- | dates for the senatorial place and as many dark horses. Mr. Peters claims Efficient support to win on the first ballot but this is disputed by the other candidates and by many of the party leaders. Headquarters are now open and the old bee is busy buzzing around the j hotel lobbies. The kdarns county delegation will go to Indianapolis Monday and the district meetings will be held that evening. o San Salvador Is Hit By Hurricane San Salvador. El Salvador. June -■(UP) - Martial law was detiared today in the wake of a devastating hurricane which caused great damage and possibly considerable loss of life. Unofficial estimates were eight i dead and 500 homeless in the vicinity of San Salvador. The storm tore down power lines disrupted communication and badly damaged many principal buildings. Railroads and highways were impassable because of landslides. Property damage was estimated lat $1,500,000. No urgent need for I supplies was evident, although Pan I American airways announced it was ready to bring in relief from nicaragua or Quatemala if necessary. -' — Seek Passengers Os Wrecked Plane Seattle. Wash., Juno V—(UP) —A rescue party climbed the western elope of the Cascades today seeking injured passengers of a wrecked United Airlines plane after the co-pilot crawled through the wilderness to report the crash. Blood streaming from his wounds co-pilot Dwight Hansen staggered into a mountain home late last night to report that the Seattle-Spo-kane airliner had been forced down. He had crawled, walked and limpel five miles through the wilderness. i, t... —■> _. 1 c~— . Get the Habit — Trade at Home

* a f | WHAT IS wig ogj&fc CARDEN?! Growing Cucumbers as Climbers

The idea of growing cucumbers j as climbing vines rather than as ramblers over the face of the earth j where they take up much room is ' gaining in popularity. The idea has been spread through tire medium ! of some of the great greenhouse; plants about the country devoted' entirely to the winter growing of I cucumbers for the cold season mar- j ket. In these glass houses the; encumbers are trained to strings, and go straight up to the roof. They may be as easily grown in i the home garden in this manner j as in a greenhouse and with great < economy of space. A sunny back; porch may have cucumbers as shade producing vines and it is as i attractive in appearance ak some i vines that are grown as ornaments. I The vine will climb quickly if giv-1 en support and will produce just ' as abundantly in an upright position which is its natural method' of growth, being provided with tendrils for climbing. Often cucum- p bers on the edge of a corn plant 1 ing will seize upon a cornstalk as support. Six-foot trellises can be made at iiorna to accommodate the vines very easily and when they reach the top they can be pinched back) to be kept in hounds. When grown to upright supports as climbers the problem of furnishing them the moisture in hot weather is much' easies to handle than when they sprawl about the ground. They can be given a mulch or trenches can be dug a foot away from the vines on either side of the row to

■ be filled with water to soak into ' the soil. Cucumbers like a good soil but I revel in one of fairly light texture 1 : which is easily warmed provided i it can be furnished with a supply ' iof moisture. The time to give j i cucumbers their heavy feeding is :at the start of their career. Apply ' i fertilizer liberally to the soil when I I they are planted. It is not needed ■ ■so much in their later career. It is i ' possible to get so much nitrogen ‘ ; into the soil in the way of humus and fertilizer that the cuke will ! run too luxuriantly to leaf and i vine. If the vine seems to be run- , niny too heavily pinch out the ends I of the principal shoot and head it ; ! back to blossoming and fruiting, i Always pick the first cucumber i promptly to encourage the vine to j bring on the rest of the family.
