We hear a lot of advice as to how to eat and live during the hot weather and then go right on doing i as we please and taking the results. J The stories about the girl from Napoleon do not say definitely whether or not she met her Waterloo. Suppose they want the public to do their own guessing. And now for an armistice in politics. As the summer grows on, I there will be less and less but get ready to hear plenty of it in September and October. The President even seems to be| able to stop strikes which is the I only job in this country tougher than handling congress. He must be a really great man. The NRA is a year old and rather lusty youngster at that. He has had his bumps and will probably get some more but he is starting to walk and with proper assistance will soon be going at a good gait. Congress got a little wild Saturday night as adjournment drew near and they realized they would have to go home and explain the whys and wherefores to their constituents. But most of it was ges- I tures. — Decatur is still the best town we j know of. It has more snap, more I solidity, more optimism. Men are! at work, most people are making more than they spend. Keep on smiling for we are nearly out of the woods. Well, well, and a couple of more wells. Jim Watson doesn't like the Democratic nominee for United States senator. Well that gives him a splendid start for most folks in Indiana wouldn't favor any thing the old war horse standpatter would be for. The death of Eleazer Biggs. 87, removes another Civil War veter an and a pioneer of this and Allen counties. His death leaves but five of the old “Boys in blue'' who made history in this nation during the early sixties. Decatur was filled with buying visitors Saturday afternoon and evening and those stores which advertised. did a good business. Its so easy to do and costs so little that we don’t know how any merchant figures he can stay out of the newspaper. Grab that old pole and go out fishing. The season is on and there is positively nothing any more delightful than to indulge in this great outdoor sport. The conservation department of Indiana under supervision of Kenneth -

Kunkle Is stocking the lakes and rivers of Indiana and doing much for sports. Over each week end we hear reI ports of several drownings tn this ! state and it may be well even for ' the expert swimmers to use caution and care. A cramp, a fainting attack. a tightening of the muscles and *e become helpless. Stay in the crowd when you go swimming and use good common sense. If you begin to tire, get out and rest a while. Say what you will but conditions generally are much better than a year ago and we are going forward. Its somewhat slower than mpst of us want hut we got an awful wallop from the depression and the repairs are necessarily delayed. This is the time to buy a property or a

farm. You will never see values as low again and in a very short time you will be wondering why you couldn’t see a little in the future and make an investment that was sure to be good. We have just finished reading the speech which Senator Frederick VanNnys had prepared to deliver as permanent chairman of the Democratic state convention and which he was prevented from giving by Illness. It's a masterpiece and one that should be read and studied by every good citizen l of the state. He concludes with (this inspiring paragraph: “In clos ing, may we all join in praise and appreciation of the geed citizenship of Indiana —irrespective of party affiliations —for its continued and patriotic support of the government during these trying times. With such continued cooperation upon the part of the people, this depression can and will he whipped • and the prosperity and happiness of the American people permanent- ] ly restored." < I —*s7 » ”*l I ®c BY CHARLEY qKA.’.T I Harry Holcomb says: A ring ■ leader ought C be square.

I. Brod- , sky—has just been awarded the; "Order of Lenin." highest of Soviet decorations. Brodsky follows the realistic school of painting and, by consequence, has often been accused by revolutionary artists of “passive reflection" and “photographic naturalism.” But apparently these criticisms had no affect on the AllUnion Central Executive Committee. who-conferred the decoration. The artist has painted a number of well-known pictures, among them: “Session of the Second Congress of Komintern” Second Congress of Komintern,” “Session of the Revolutionary Military Council” and Shooting of Twenty-six Commissars.” He also has executed portraits of Stalin. Voroshilov and other high officials.

YOUNG WOMEN BEST DRIVERS Philadelphia.— (U.R) —ln spite of “disconcerting traits,” women are good drivers, in the opinion of Philadelphia traffic policemen. However, they should be taught ’ young. One policeman reported j that women who learn to drive ( when they are 40 or 50 “are simply awful." Thev become rattled, he said, and "go haywire, stalling the i car, flooding the carbureter, and j then bursting into tears.” A policeman in a downtown section said that his troubles would : be fewer if drivers were all women. "They try to abide by the law. 1 but they sometimes lack confi- : dence,’’ he said. “I wish I could take some of the confidence away from young male drivers and give Ji it to the women.” ! A handsome six-footer found women "a little difficult to deal with." I “Sometimes when I point out a fireplug to a woman who is park- ■ ing, she looks as if I had just put iit there. We have to follow orders, and I try to be polite but firm. Sometimes the firmer I get the i less they seem to care. They just ■' sit and look, and it makes me feel ; kind of goofy.” o Miss Madge Hite arrived home ■ i from Chicago last evening after a two weeks visit. ,

MONUMENTPAYS GULLS TRIBUTE Salt Lake City, Utah, - (UR) “i Erected in sacred memory of the 1 i salvation of Utah pioneers’ first; wheat harvest is a huge inonu- j ment, honoring the seagull. The monument, erected on "Temple Square,” center of this Mormon metropolis. Is the symbol of regard early Settlers carried for i the graceful white gulls. Unveiled Oct. 1. 1913. as tho work of Maluoni Young, grandson <?f the famous Mormon pioneer: leader, the monument since has signified the story of a great crisis. lu the summer of 1848, less than a year after settlers had reached the Great Salt Lake valley, a vast I acreage of wheat had been planted A bumper harvest was expected and the pioneers planned to save most of it to furnish other immigrants en route from the east by oxcart with seed and flour the next ' spring. Upon this harvest was based success or failure of the . settlement.

in way, crickets swept over the fields, leaving no green thing untouched. In vain, men, women and children attempted to stem the tide. Devotedly they prayed and tasted. unwilling to believe their long journey across the plains was to end in starvation. It was then that thousands of seagulls appeared, alighted on the fields and began to eat the crickets. They filled their crops, flew away to disgorge the dead insects, then returned to gulp down more. The crop, in part at least, was saved. Small Ohio College Seeks Recognition Again ASHLAND. O (U.R>—L-ittle Ash land College, fighting for reinstatement in the North ( entral Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, anticipates recog nition again by that group by March, 1935. according to Dr. Ed win E. Jacobs, college president. The institution was one of seven schools of higher learning recently deleted from the association’s accredited list. Ashland was dropped, according to the report, because of insufficient faculty and insufficient training of faculty membere. Dr. Jacobs, pointing out that steps already* were being taken to remedy asserted faults. He said that two faculty members who nearly have completed their requirements, will have doctor's degrees by fall. Persons in- the city of Ashland, one of the wealthiest smaller cities of northern Ohio, will be asked to contribute $5,000 to a fund for maintaining an enlarged faculty, the president said.
