Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Hapfriy school days. Imagine Huey Long being a fair president. Earnest Elmo Calkins, wellknown writer speaks a truth when he said. "One thing is certain —if a town does not look like a good place to live in. it isn't." It won't be long until the new lights,on Second street are turned on and we believe the civic pride of citizens will be boosted a notch or two, when they see the twilight zone. WPA workers are engaged on sevethl city jobs this week, including alley and sidewalk onngtruction. Other projects have been petitioned for and the city hopes to carry through a constructive " program during the fall and winter •• months. » Soon the old Liberty bonds, used ... to finance this country's expense in the World War will be removed •' from the market. The treasury lias called the bonds and in their place will issue others bearing a lower ■ rate of interest. It's a good thing - to get rid of the war bonds. •k • It is generally conceded that the »week before Christmas is about — the busiest time of the year, but -don't overlook the first week in -■ September. Around a newspaper . office, the day following Labor Day 'is busier than the day after a gen“eral election. Court reopens, chil- ' dren go back to school, the county "commissioners, members of the county council, the township trus--2 tees meet in monthly and annual “session and everybody is busy ad- ■ justing themselves to the fall pro--gram. To most men, a boy is one of the most interesting things on earth. No two are alike. To one, the description "a noise with dirt on it” »may apply. Another will be shy -and serious with oddly conflicting . ideas struggling for expression in action. Wise adults understand ■ this, for they know that the growing period of a youngster is above all a time of adjustments to a con--stantly expanding social and physwical environment. But boys grow up. and so do their problems. -Youngsters have had an especially difficult time in making their adjustments in the past five years, w for the conditions about them with which they would come to terms have themselves been shifting. Uncertainty in the world has hypercomplicated the task of “getting ■ set" faced by youth in the late teens and twenties. Every nation has its “youth problem. ’ Superficially. it may vary from country to country, but the same economic and social factors that baffle a young man in North America today underly the situation of the unadjusted youth in England, or France or Australia. or elsewhere—Rotarian Magazine.

One of the greatest barriers to I fair and efficient enforcement of traffic laws is the lack of uniformity in the traffic codes of different states and towns, As one traffic authority recently pointed out, when ho drives from one state to another, he doesn't have to stop and change his nickels, dimes and dollars into other and different kinds of money; but, if he wishes to operate his car in accord with the law, he must at once revise his driving habits. He leaves a state where the maximum speed allowed is 40—and then must remember that now he must hold his car down to 30. He has been accustomed to traffic lights and signs placed on corners —now they are overhead in the middle of streets where he Is liable to miss seeing them entirely. Suppose that motor car manufacturers pursued the same practices as many cities and states. Suppose a man who had been driving the Smith car wanted to trade it in for the new Jones model, and discovered that it had a different kind of transmission, required a different kind of fuel, and presented major points of difference in other respects. Such a policy would be no more absurd than is the existing policy of our governmental units in adopting traffic codes that are utterly at variance with those of a town or state 10 miles away. THE RURAL PRESS There are some 15,500 newspapers and periodicals published in this country. The greatest proportion of them are small town week- , lies, dailies and semi-weeklies, and < magazines whose principal appeal j is to the rural dweller. i The importance, the influence, and the world of these publications can hardly be exaggerated. They are, as the San Francisco Argonaut has written, “the chief influence in the thought habits of our rural population of fifty-four million." And the character of their .comment. both in news and editorial departments, well repays those who peruse them. As a result, the recent contest held by the magazine “Country Home" to pick the best country newspaper correspondent in the l United States, was of much more importance and interest than con- , tests usually are. The winner, a woman, lives in a Missouri town which has a population of twenty- , seven, and is fifteen miles from the nearest railroad. For forty- 1 four years she has been local correspondent for a rural paper in her county. ■ Urban editors, on reading ex- ' cerpts from her correspondence, have been amazed by its quality. It does not deal with crimes and misdemeanors. Instead it tells of the crops, of the trials, tribulations 1 and achievements of farm people who rarely make the metropolitan headlines, but who, happiiy, are more numerous and more vital to the nation than our gangsters, our political and business renegades, and our ex-show-girl divorcees. Most interesting of all, this woman's correspondence, fine as it Is, is not greatly different from that of other correspondents. Winners of lesser prizes in the contest show the same qualities—the same command of clear and vivid English. The country newspaper, little known as it is to the city dweller. is one of the finest, most perm anent, and most deservedly successful influences in our American life. Last, but not least, it is the outstanding guardian of the nation in upholding our Constitution and American ideais. —Industrial News Review. Q Hay Fever Club Opens — Duluth.
