Most any town would be glad to ! hire Melvin Purvis as its chief of police. The Dillinger killing caused so much excitement that a lot of us forgot about the hot weather. What has become of the fellow who used to wear golf knickers to keep cool? Mrs. Elizabeth Speheger, Wells county centennariau is going to celebrate her birthday this month, although she does not know on what day of the months she was . born- Mrs. Speheger is 102 years ,/d and has lived in this community for more than 70 years. Os course everybody wishes her happy returns of the day. good health and continued happiness. The Hudson Motor Company is i among other large auto industries I that is launching extensive newspaper advertising campaigns this summer, believing in the doctrine that the wav to keep up sales is through advertising. Giving credit to better business and employment conditions the past year, one of the reasons that auto salog have shown a large increase in the constructive and intelligent advertising campaigns the manufacturers have backed their efforts with since the first of the year. The publicity that has been given to the Dillinger case has been criticized by some who Imagine he has been placed on a pedestal. The worldwide attention attracted to him and his exploits serves to make all the more important the lesson to be learned from his ending. It is possible for a clever person to escape detection for a time, but there is only one end to a career such as his. He was bound to be overtaken by the fate he had brought upon himself. — Indianap-1 olis Star. The department of conservation is one of the most efficient and accommodating divisions of government in the state house. Besides promoting wild life, cooperating with farmer, landowner, fisherman and hunter, the department is now gathering information as to the best fishing places in the state and distributing it to those who wish to sally forth in quest of the big ones. Under the present supervision and leadership. Indiana is fast becoming a haven for hunters and fishergfl!"' 1 ..." . . — A Rich Milk Food. CREAM Approved by Good Housekeeping

men and at no expense to the taxpayer. NO BRASS COLLAR: Sherman Minton doesn't wear a brass collar and hasn't got a ring through his nose. p That should make him peculiarly acceptable as democratic candidate for senator from Indiana in 1 the election next September. Thai he happens to be from New • Albany makes him more than a ’ neighbor and all but a fellow-citi-zen, and so his fortunes acquire for us a double interest. The Herald-Post joins in the wel1 I i come extended to Mr. Minton ' across the river. It likes a man of spunk and notes that as counselor for the Public Service Commission that spunk has been paying dividends. If his labors for his own cause prove as resultful as those for his fellow-citizens, the senatorial lineup of the sovereign state of Indiana is going to show a new face. Louisville, Ky., Herald-Post. ASKS COOPERATION: James D. Adams, state highway commissioner asks the cooperation of farmers and landowners in the effort to reduce the number of accidents along the highways. Calling attention to the dangerous condition existing at intersections of side roads and grade ‘ crossings with state highways, where growing crops, hedges and i other vegetation prevent a view of approaching traffic, he suggested that immediate removal of these obstructions to vision would prevent many accidents. The highway department is making every effort to increase the safety of travellers on the state highways and is maintaining thous ands of warning signs at road and street intersections for the protection of motorists using the state highways and those entering or crossing the highways. In many parts of the state growing crops ! in fields at the intersection of these pide roads and the intersection of the highways with railroad crossings, present a real hazard making it impossible for the motorist to see approaching traffic on either. the highway or the side road. One of the acts passed by the jlegislature in 1933 provides for the triming of hedges and trees that interfere with vision of motorists using the highways. 0 . . WncU ___?

HOLLYWOOD, . . . —Funniest Hollywood story in the day's news comes from the United Artists studio, where a group of celebs were idling away the lunch hour watching the Goldwyn cuties rehearse a number for the new Cantor picture. Only one of the kibitzers to remain unimpressed was the much married and many times disillusioned William Wellman. "But look, Billie,” exclaimed Cantor, “Aren’t they beautiful?" Wellman removed a pipe from his mouth. “Yeah." he snapped. “And every darn one of them would sua you." For a honeymooner. Richard Dix Is finding plenty ot time to write letters. Bob Woolsey has just received one, and of all

partner, because Bob, in the early days of his career, used to be a jockey. Hollywood has always thought that Josef von Sternberg takes himself too seriously, but here is a story that Marlene Dietrich's discoverer tells upon himself. For years, Joe has refused to give autographs. Occasionally the requests are tough to evade, and so it was the other night when a little girl —she hardly looked to be six years old—stopped the director as he was entering a Hollywood restaurant. In a hurry because he saw other autograph seekers bearing down upon him, Joe smiled and said: "Sorry—can’t write.” Whereupon the tot, as cool as you please, came back: ”1 thought as much from looking at your pictures.” Louis Renaud, a young man from Montreal, Canada, couldn't persuade hometown editors to give him a job as a reporter, so he set out to show them. After hitch-hiking all the way to Hollywood. Louis walked boldly into the Paramount studio and explained his plight to the publlcity department And. then came life's biggest thrill. The boys, all

LOCAL PEOPLE I REPORT TRIPS I ■■■ w '■ a I Report Varying Conditions Os Crops Seen On Trips —— Three parties of local persons, !recently returned from extensive trips in three portions of the I nited States, brought back dtfferen reports of the effects of the drought | in those sections. Waller Bockman. who with a party of Decatur persons, made a six weeks tour of Mexico and the far western states said: AH stories of The severity of t c drought can not be exaggerated Mr. Bockman told of farm after ifarm he passed in the far we!, U ' where there was not a sign of | Ivegetation. Even the grass iu the I lawns is dead and trees have Idled. 1 Farmers have left their cattle in , the fields to die. The streams, j used to water the live stock and . Irrigate the land, have been dried ! up for months. The farmers there arc practic-1 ally bankrupt. Many of them. I ! rather than continue to operate 1 farms, have locked up their houses and hitch-hiked to 1 'their nearest friends and relatives. | A brighter picture was painted ' Iby David D. Depp, county clerk,' who has just completed a week's trip in Wisconsin. Minnesota. lowa, Nebraska. South Dakota and Illin-. ois. Mr. Depp said that only four counties in lowa are suffering from , the drought. The farmers in these | counties are being moved out by the government. The government is also purchasing their cattle. The 1 lowa corn crop is one of the best in years. In Minnesota and Wisconsin lit-, tie damage was done by the drought. In one place in Minneisota, Mr. Depp observed soy beans, | which had just been cut. floating | in the fields. Rain had just fallen | in torrents in many parts of these ' two states. , The lawns and pastures were green west of Warren. Cal Peterson, who has returned from a trip to Mississippi said that , I south of Munch It was in better shape than it has | been for years. The gulf states are having the best crops they have II had in the last three years.
