A few more of those weekend rains would bring the pasture back, save some of the garden truck, help late corn and otherwise prove a veritable Godsend to millions of farmers throughout the middle west. Two inches of rainfall may not Seem like much to you but it probably is appreciated by the cattle, horses and sheep that graze on the pasture lands, where green stuff has been mighty scarce the past several weeks. Decatur merchants, those who advertise, did a big business Saturday afternoon and evening, it's the only way to secure trade and the longer you have tried to do without it, the surer you ought to be of that fact. The French Lick meeting was a love feast at which gathered the leading Democrats from every faction and every section. They are out to win and led by Sherman Minton, an able, clean and capable candidate for United States senator, will not l>e stopped. Some like the idea of painting house numbers along the curbs and softie don't. Its a mtuter of taste, but one thing is sure and that is that if we need it or desire it, we can probably have it done by home labiir and without paying outsiders for the idea. Total valuations for taxing pur pages in Adams county are $21.882,298 as compared to $21,973,133 for 1933, a showing that will be made by only a few counties in the state. To keep even this year is something and this county will continue to be considered one of the bout in Indiana. Those aluminum strikers in Pennsylvania will probably discover as have others who strike just now that the mass of people which forms the public, doesn't favor their actions. This is a serious time and every good citizen ought to be helping rather than preventing a comeback. Over at Cleveland they are trying to find out whether the manager of a parking lot is financially responsible for the theft of a car front the lot. We don't know what the court will say but we believe thq man who operates the business wifi do better if he makes good on such a loss. A lot of people are wasting their sobs over the electrocution of two men and a woman in New York state. They killed the woman’s husband to get his life insurance and were convicted without trouble. Murder is just as serious when committed by a man or a woman and why Brisbane and the others should spread a lot of silly chatter after the law has taken its course, is beyond those who really

desire a better condition In this country. We will publish tills week an Interview by Kenneth Kessler, former Monroe Boy. now with the navy, recently held with President Roose- , velt. You will enjoy it thoroughly, we know, for it is as good a story of Its kind as you have perused in many a day. Full of enthusiasm, eager to tell the world his impressions of a great man, Kenneth gives you some thoughts that others have overlooked or passed up. in North Dakota, two men have been jockeying for the office of governor, one having refused to abide by a court which said he was ineligible because he had been convicted of defrauding the federal government. In his defiance he called the state militia to his services. Governor Murray of Oklahome has never hesitated to call out the national guard when he wanted to. and Governor Olson has used troops freely and over protest in the Minneapolis strike. Senator Huey Long and the mayor of New Orleans have been teaming up in a higgerlarce. Ix>ng has ordered out the national guard through his puppet governor and the mayor has lined up the police on the other side of the street. Such hysterics might be funny except for the violence which results if one hot head pulls a trigger, and except that use of national guard troops in political squabbles is a flagrant abuse of the purpose of the military. 0 ——< Answers To Test I.

Why Drown? Here Are Simple Rules t Prevent That Fatal Accident

Throwing a life buoy and line from a rowboat to rescue a drowning person' at right, a life guard bringing in an unconscious victim from the ’ surf, using the “fireman’s carry.”

TIE Vnited States has nearly 5,000 miles of seacoast, and in addition chains of lakes and many sweeping rivers. Each year thousands of swimmers and non-swim-mers flock to this water, seeking respite from the summer beat. And at the close of the vacation season a tragic annual toll of about 8,000 deaths from drowning is counted, dua to ignorance and carelessness. All of this vast waterfront can be made almost accident-proof by following instructions prepared by the American Red Cross Life Saving Service, author of a gigantic safety program which already has cut ' down drowning accidents by a substantial margin. Simple rules as set forth by the I Red Cross are as follows: In selecting a site for a camp—whether permanent or for the weekend—find one which will combine, if possible, deep water for proficient swimmers and shallow water for beginners. Have the beginners’ pool roped in on three sides. Never go swimming alone. Find a “water buddy” to go with you. Solitary swimmers often lose their live* at beachfront and pool. The “buddy” system lessens the hazard of drowning by providing two voices to call for help, two pairs of eyes to watch for danger, and one swimmer to support the other in an emergency. such as cramps or sudden exhaustion. Never dive into water that you do aot know. First wade or jump Into

President Wilson orders attorney i general to take necessary steps to prevent abnormal inflation of ne-

it feet first to ascertain its depth and whether it is free from wreckage. For diving, water should be at least six feet deep. Do not enter the water until two hours after eating—and thus avoid stomach cramps. When you try to beat your last summer’s long distance record, be professional. Have a boat accompany you. This is the practice of experts. Train for a long swim. Don’t expect to swim a mile at the beginning of the season. Test your powers carefully, adding a little distance each day and when you begin to feel tired always come out of the water. If you are caught in an undertow do not lose your head, even if you do lose your balance. The force of the water will bring you safely to the surface if you do not struggle against it. When your canoe tips over, hang on to it until someone comes to help you, or you can paddle with it to shore. Remember that a canoe never sinks. It is the amateur canoeist who leaves the overturned craft and strikes out for shore. The good canoeist hangs on because he knows that it will keep him afloat or that he can swim with it to a safe landing. Here is the expert method of rescuing the drowning: Row a boat, throw a buoy, or go yourself and tow the victim to safety. It you are not trained in life saving, never dive to the rescue of a person unless you know how you are going to get back

Sa. BJ .... ........7 I r to land yourself. Double drownings often happen when a fairly good swimmer, not familiar with life saving methods, plunges to the rescue of a drowning companion whom he cannot possibly save. Drowning persons, unless they have become unconscious, always seek to grab their would-be rescuer around the neck and try to climb up on him and out of the water. Unless the rescuer knows how to break these “death grips,” he is dragged below the surface. Life saving is a science. For every hold a drowning person can obtain, a “break” has been perfected by means of which the rescuer can escape his grip. There are also a half dozen different ways to tow a person to shore. The Red Cross annually teaches thousands of persons these methods of rescue. If possible, have one of these experts in your swimming party. See that your beaches and pools are protected by life guards who have had this training. An important feature of the Red Cross training is the resuscitation of the victim. Under the care of these experts, many lives have been ; saved, when the amateur would otherwise have given up believing that no spark of life remained.
