The government, through the National Housing Act, provides the way for finaacing such expenditures. Fftderick K. Landis, able editor witlf a silver tongue and a showmanwm the platform, gave the Republicans the first laugh they have haddn two years so why begrudge the amiles they enjoyed w hile they listened to his Wawasee speech. Dw-rite the drouih, Indiana's corn-crop is estimated at 111,300,060 bushels, compared with 127,263.000 busfp?!s the previous year. It's not all gist and apparently there will be plough to feed the country, although the reduction will mean for higher prices. Motorists would appreciate it if the Pennsylvania railroad company repaired its crossings on Adams andjefferson streets. The raising of tjje track on the former street left the crossing bumpy and a detail wf men could do wonders on the job in a few hours. Tt(p summer was most unhearableAis far as torrid heat was concerned, but it was a blessing for sufftffers of hay fever. The sizzling waves killed the rag weed and other pollen producing plants and "gnawers" have suffered less this year than for many a season. The old Tldage, "A little good can be fount! in most anything.” Tire young Colorado cripple who crawled on his hands and knees to the top of Pike's Peak to see a sunrise was no doubt repaid for his effort'and physical exertion. There isn't Anything so inspiring as a sunrise and in addition to the joy of seeing it the young man had the satisfaction of accomplishing something despite his handicap. We heard an after-dtnner speaker say that few people really got joy out of living. We overlook so much of the good and don't stop to think that happiness lies in the companionship of friends, with the wife -and children and that what we vaguely seek as happiness or a means for it in most cases does not bring it after attained. The old

world wasn’t made upside down and it's up to us to get a little joy and happiness out of what wo have. It is gratifying to note the an nual reorganiaatloff of the Berne Community chorus, one of the outstanding musical groups in the state. A permanent organization has been formed and no doubt plans will be carried out for the presentation of programs during the coming year, much to the delight of those who enjoy the excellent concerts. Local tradesmen declare they do not have much work and suggest that it would lie a fine thing if J property owners got in touch with ; them about remodeling and repair I work. All of the trades, plumbing. | carpentering, masonry, tinning and roofing are well represeted here and projects awarded to them will give employment to others. It’s a good practice to employ local labor. Suppose you had a President afraid to move, afraid to relieve i the desperate, Impoverished farm-I ers by pouring out government money, what might be the result? . . . Suppose you had a President talking about the divine law of “supply and demand," instead of warning dealers that gougers in food prices will go to jail, as Presi-, dent Roosevelt warns them? —Arthur Brisbane. The world is glad to read of the discovery of a vaccine for the prevention of infantile paralysis. For a century medical science has searched for such a serum and now a professor at Temple University has discovered it. The discoverer stressed the point that the vaccine was in no way a cure for the dread disease, but was a preventive, to be used in case of epidemics. The appreciation of mankind is extended to the learned medical research director. We doubt the wisdom of the movement in Portland to buy the telephone company there. Steps have been taken asking that a special election be held for the purpose of voting on the question of pur-; chasing the exchange. There are ' certain advantages to government ownership, but when municipalities enter other fields of business it is a different matter. The problem of 1 managing diversified industries, the eliminating of private ownership from the tax duplicates, financing and the fact that the business would be in politics, looks like one way of calling the wrong number. o 4 * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.
