If you want a good place to cool off and enjoy yourself, try the soft ball night games in the new lighted field on South Winchester street. Its a great place to go. Jim Crenshaw, down at Bicknell. lost money in a poker game, drunk and crazy mad. pulled a revolver and shot three of the players. He will have to ante the rest of his life. Taxable property in Adams county gained 3161,000 by this years appraised valuation, the best showing that Adams county is one of those which is done with the depression und is going to step out. The mercury in several mid west cities Sunday reached 117, which is the Fetord for all time. If that keeps up a while about every one will be inclined to investigate the nudist's claims of comfort and health. Baseball is going big in the cities these days and the town lots are filled witfi youngsters who are enjoying soft ball. It's still the greatest game in America and in the National. American and the Association, the fight for the pennant is hectic. — Big Jfqwer companies may as well get'l-eady for an equalization of charges that will be fair and equitable. The government has taken ibis problem up and when they are through, every user of power will be getting a fair deal as well as every producer. Os course its natural to talk about the weather and to find fault but we really do have a justifiable complaint in the middlewest this year where the rainfall since January Ist has averaged only about five inches which is about a fifth of the usual amount. I The state is preparing to build a highway over the Erie railroad west of this city, an improvement that will be appreciated and will permit the paving of 224 from here to Markle. This is a part of the Franklin highway and in a few years will be one of- the popular coast to coast routes of the nation. We are told the state highway commission is planning to make a number of improvements around here, including the widening of 224 from the city limits to a mile east, straightening the norilt bridge A Rich Milk Food.

on 27 and concluding the widening of the roadway and several other projects over the county to employ a large number during the winter months. And that will be something. A fellow named Jackson, who formerly had charge of the state home for feeble minded in Fort Wayne, while his brother was governor of Indiana, has opened offices in Indianapolis and proposes to reorganize the klan. And they talk about some of Governor McNutt's appointments, any of whom would be a credit to this grafter. Some idea of road needs today may be had fit you reflect that there are four times as many automobiles per mile of improved roads in Indiana as there were twenty years ago, that in 1914, 30 miles an hour was high speed while today we clip it off at from fifty to ninety miles an hour and every car is used twiie as much now as a few years ago. Perhaps also it may surprise you that of the 383,000 miles of highway in this state, only 120 is hard surfaced and more than half are still mud and dust. We still have some highway problems and they are important. From this distance the strike at .San Francisco with all its destruction seems so foolish. Why we should be bothered with these difficulties of a comparatively fewlongshoremen and their bosses is beyond most people, but once the spark of labor defiance is kindled it grows and spreads until the entire country is affected and that is not impossible in this case. The World War started in a somewhat insignificant manner but it soon became a fight to the bitter end and this may be the first flames of a terrible condition. We hope not and still believe cool heads will settle the troubles, but we say it may be worse than most people visualize. ————— o— It -.d 2/ncie .
