A Detroit paper carried a headline, "Six out of six drunk drivers convicted.” which is a record for other cities to shoot at. It’s history repeating itself, in 1936 England went through a general strike. Now it seems to be spreading over here. People are about the same the world over. Lytle Bobby Connor, was found in his own hack yard yesterday. I after it was believed he had been kidnaped. The mystery hasn't been cleared yet, but the boy's return saves the country from going another case similar to the Lindberghs. Persons interested in obtaining one of the Homestead sites are asked to confer with Ferd L. Litterer, secretary of the local board. A few properties are still available and those who wish to join the colony are invited to file their ap plication at once. England has strict laws, as shown by the conviction of Kay' Don, noted race driver, who was | found guilty of manslaughter in connection with the death of his mechanic, who was driving with him in a test race drive.

But with Strifes breaking out in other cities, it stems that the people are in a mood to carry it on and stopping they in one place may mean outbreaks In others until they get it out of their system. Imagine a city as large as San Francisco with everything idle and men out of work. About the only industry running is the publishing of daily newspapers, largely devot ed to doing of the great strike. There will be much suffering and distress and probably blood shed, unlee:-, matters are settled in the next few days. Indianapolis will prohibit the sale of beer and other drinks between one and six in the morning. The city ordinance provides that A Kit h Milk Food. CREAM Approved by Good Housekeeping

all places of business selling drinks shall be closed during these hours. Other cities are adopting similar regulations and there is an atti tude on the part of the dealers and public as well to conform with the restrictions. Detroit is spending about a hundred million dollars in widening Woodward avenue, one of the prill . cipal business streets in the great' motor capital. Buildings, including several churches are being cut I off in order to permit the extension j of the streets and walks. One of ’ the uncanny feats in the great un-' dertaking is the moving back of large brick buildings, setting them down on new foundations without breaking a single window pane in I the structures. It’s a big job and : the work will go on several years.' One wonders if at the end of that : time traffic will be so increased, that the widening process will be of any benefit. Detroiters may live to see the day when buildings on one of tlie principal streets are all removed in order to provide ample traffic lanes and relieve the conges-; tion in up-town districts. It might be the cheapest and best Tiling to do. Mrs. Roosevelt is making what to her must he gratifying headway with her pet homestead project at Readville, Pa. To date forty-three former coal miners and their families have taken residence in the colony, residing in homes built and . equipped by the government at a | cost of $200,000. Each of the dwellings occupies five acres of ground and the average cost of these properties complete is approximately $4,500. which are to be sold to the occupant:, on contracts running over a twenty-year period. The theory is that on these five-acre plots the families can raise enough for subsistence and sufficient additional to meet their payments to the government, and other obligations. This optimistic viewpoint may elict smiles from experienced tillers of the soil, but the government has means not possessed by individuals to save its projects from financial failure. — Goshen News-Times. o Tccple & Peterson have a good selection in shirts, ! underwear, hats, cans and | all furnishings at Half Price. _o Dance at Riverview Garden I tonight.—Hi Meyers.

— zz — COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN A 10 per cent reduction in the number of chickens in farm flocks on July 1 compared with July 1 last year, and a 2 per cent reduction in the number of hens, are reported by the Bureau of Agricul- ' tural Economics in its current monthly report on poultry and eggs. A sharp curtailment in market supplies of poultry and a reduction iff production of eggs during the next twelve months are expected. Should prices of eggs be favorable to farmers the remainder ot this year, a larger than normal proportion of pullets and hens would be retained for layers, and there would be only a slight de- , crease in total egg production as compared with last year's output, but this would be 5 to 10 per cent less than the five-year average, says the bureau. The effect of the drought is less lt noticeable on the poultry population and egg production than on >, livestock, it is stated, with the explanation that chickens can mainj, tain themselves to some extent on weeds, roots, seeds and insects, whereas livestock “search in vain for sustenance on parched and denuded fields.’’ », Cold storage holdings of case eggs in ten states on July 10 were

S per cent less than on July ul 1933. but 5 per cent more than thi| average of recent years. Tiul bureau says that, although th| farm price of eggs has risen tins year, the advance has been mon than offset by a slightly larger rdative increase in the price of feeds. —... .
