Trying to prove one’ patriotism by shooting off a finger or blowing out an eye with a firecracker, is like attempting .o demonstrate one's courage by driving a car SO miles an hour into a brick wall. Baby beaters don't like the whip. A Virginia mar. convicted of beating his three year-old adopted; daughter, preferred serving a year j in jail to the whipping post. The i coward should have been given a few lashes in addition. Thomas Edison, apparently did ] not care much about money. His' genius howe ve r, accummula.ted 1 nearly three million dollars, left I to his family at his death. The old j saying about inventing a better mouse trap and the world will come to your door was proved again. Cut the weeds, is the order of state and city boards of health. Righ. now the weeds are going to seed and next year an additional I crop will be on hands unless they I are cut and destroyed. Unless property owners do the work them ; selves, the job will be done and taxed to the owner. Don't listen to the gypsies. Down at Vincennes, a farmer and his wife were hypnotized or “hexed” by a gypsy fortune teller. They drew out S9OO from the bank and turned it over to the gypsy woman and claim they did not recover the “spell” until three days later. When these fortune tellers call at your place, show them the door or ] call the police. Fellows who favor the Townsend pension plan have a. right io keep on dreaming how nice it would he to get S2OO a month, but they should first figure out who will pay the bill. Following the Townsend plan would cost about 40 billions a year, or nearly as much as ■the entire income of the nation. Dreams don't cost anything, but 40 billions a year is a lot of money. The kidnapers can’t get away with it. Those who believe they can perform the perfect crime, soon find that it is a losing racket. The fourth person charged with the kidnaping of Banker Liter at Edwardsville. has been sentenced to life imprisonment, bringing the total convicted in this case to seven. With the federal government leading the drive to rid the country of the kidnaper, his doom has been written. The Young Democrats are to be congratulated or. the successful picnic and Democratic gathering sponsored by them at Sun Set park last evening. They not only proved efficient and enthusiastic hosts, but provided a program of merit and enjoyment for all. Pleas

Greenleo, executive secretary to Governor McNutt and Democratic leader, captivated the crowd with his Interesting talk. All around it was a delightful happy affair. Premature celebration of the Fourth of July with firecrackers is forbidden under orders of the State Fire Marshall and their sain before July 1 is prohibited. Americans can show their patriotism in other ways than by shooting firecrackers. It might be an old fashioned custom, one which it seems the country should outgrow. Several states have passed laws making it unlawful to celebrate with fireI crackers as a result the accident list and death score has been reI duced. Creation of a Notional Youth Administration by executive order is designed to deal with a puzzling economic and social problem. The President has allocated $50,000,000 of his relief fund for improvement of those between the ages of 16 i and 25, confronted with a. serious | j plight as they emerge from schol-1 | astic training with no work avail-1 j able. The President accompanied ■ announcement of his program with the explanation that fund would seek to find employment in private industry for jobless youth, to train them for industrial, technical and : professional opportunities, to provide for continued study in high schools and colleges and to supply work relief on projects to meet the needs of youth.—lndianapolis Star. o—*STA RS IG NAL 8 * by OCT AV IN E For persons who believe that hu-j man destin;, is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

ETHNOLOGISTS BLAST MYTH OF INDIAN CHIEFS Expert Declares Redskin Leaders Were Just “Tough Guys” Chloigo. —(UP) - The old saw about Indian chiefs has been blasted. The Smithsonian Institute’s ethnologists have let it be known that Anglican Indians were anarchist!* by nature and did not believe in the liallot. or Che divine right of the boss’ eldest son. A reporter recently took the new* to the Chicago ebidium. where the-greatest-show-on-earth was playing With a heavy heart he informed the Indians of the show that die stories about theier chiefs of yesteryear were but bautiful myths. Circus Chiefs Aroused Chiefs at the circus stirred up an Impromptu w»ir dance, synchroniized with wailing and roofsplitting whooping of lost-my-last-friend tenor. Said Chief Fiying Hawk, in perfect English iccent: “Lo. the poor Indian Chief. Give me the address of the Smithsonian Institute We’ll have all their scalps drying on the back of yon wigwam ere the sun Ims set." Expert Backs Verdict Professor Fay-Cooper Cole, the University of Chicago’s renowned' anthropologist, stood beheind the I institute's verdict. “Yea” he said sadly. “Legends I of the Indian chiefs kirgely are the bunk. A great warrior or hunter would be looked mp to because of his qualities, but he had no- right to enforce his -diets. S>"’ he concluded. “I'm afraid' even the ancestors of these tame Indians were nothing more nor les»i than tough guys from behind the 1 tepee.” RECORDS CLEAR FOR TOVVNSJTE SET UP IN 1875 Lewisburg.
