The regular toll over the weekend indicates that so far no plan has been worked out that entirely makes it safe to drive the old car | over the highways on Saturdays and Sundays. Wabash county is getting on the front pages these days with the murder of five people within a week but that tine community would, we feel sure, prefer some other kinds of news. President Roosevelt is for peace and will maintain it which doesn't mean that we can and will defend ourselves if necessary. He is right in his special effort* to continue a neighborly relation with the Dominion of Canada. Those who are wise and store, their fuel for winter take advant-• age of the summer rates on coal, which according to the dope from trade journals will not be radically effected for a couple of weeks or three. Now is the time to prepare for winter. It you are planning a vacation for September, you can have a good time for a week at the state fair. It's bigger than ever this year and by the way, the Indiana state fairs now rank with the best in the United States. It opens the sth and closes the 11th. We want world peace but we. doubt if very many people want it < badly enough to fight for it and ■ that s the danger if we dip into it. This nation will keep prepared for defense but will not get into any entanglements that might make us scrap our way out. The 1937 license plates are being shipped out this week, so the local j officials' may bo all ready for thej rush which will come in December. This shold remind us all to be saving our dimes so it won t be much of a job to put the money on "the barrel head" when the time comes. An Allen county justice of peace is offering special rates to those who are willing to join up with other couples in gelling married. He has a fee for double, triple, and quadruple marriages.

all round year price, we haven't t learned. The Bluffton tax rate will be ninety-six cents next year while that of Decatur will be consider- ; ably less than halt that, which 1 I should mean quite a little to the | lax payers here. Other dUes are also generally higher than here and nothing is more valuable to a city than a reasonable tax rate. | It's just a little hard to figure what Rev. Coughlin does want, if. the newspaper reports are correct. I He takes a fling at about every I body in public life and changes his i views if it is necessary to com-! plete his argument. He hits at 1 President Roosevelt, thinks Mr. Landon is a lightweight and doesn't agree on much ot the Town send plan. Memory is short. Think back to , the winter ot 1933 and that's less than four years. Men were light-I ing to get food for themselves and families, rich people, were storing food against any emergency, many ' left their homes and business to seek a hide-out away from the | throng of hungry pepole. Now ; many of those same people are 1 cursing the means and manner of their rescue. Really its amusing ' if not alarming. » ( The season of straw votes is' near and in a short time we will j be getting the returns via radio. | press and magazine. Os course these are not accurate but we pre-, sume they do to an extent portray I the general trend. So far indica- 1 tions are that the results will be' l close in some of the states, but remember the campaign is still to be made and millions up to now probably haven’t even thought about making up their minds. o y ♦ STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE 1 For persons who nelleve that hu-' man destniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

(U.R) i Completion of a model, low cost plant for treatment and disposal of waste from canneries was announced today as a step toward ending pollution of IndiunH itreßins by one of the largest groups of offenders. Indiana canners and the state department of health were co-op-erating agencies in construction ot the model plant at the Greenwood factory of the Stokely Brothers & Company. . Construction data and tests made at the experimental plant will be made available to canners who wish to remodel their prsent treatment and disposal systems or * construct new ones. A survey which preceded construction of the Greenwood unit showed that the treatment and disposal equipment of most of the approximately 218 canneries in the state was inadequate. With seasonal operation limited to six or eight weeks, a majority of the canneries were unable to make the capital outlay for equipment previously needed to ade-
