Adams Post of the American Legion will have charge of the fireworks display here on the night; of July sth, which assures a good entertainment that will be appre-j ciated by thousands. The wet weather is not so pleas-1 ing to the farmers, many of whom j are ready to sow oats and don't | forget it’s about time for corn I planting. A week of dry weather, would be most acceptable. This is the very last day for | mailing your quarterly report on j gross income taxes, if you happen' to be in the list of which this is required. Don't pay a penalty if you can save it by being on time. Henry Ford says his men are | free to join any church, lodge or union they wish to, but he still thinks they are foolish to pay dues to an organization that gives them little if any thing in return. He\ says the safe guards given labor by the Wagner law had been his policy for years. Even Mr. Hoover, who has call-| ed Senator Wagner and those of I his party everything but gentle-; men, now proclaims that “the whole country should be grateful for these decisions.” He says this has opened the way for construe- j tive solution of many problems. We seem to be getting out of the, jam as most folks thought we 1 would. The National Chamber of Commerce invited President Roosevelt | to speak at their annual meeting j but the invitation has been polite ly declined. No doubt the presi-j dent is tired of complying with; such requests, only to be “pan ned" for weeks afterward. The; Chamber will now have a free hand to say what they wish about i any person or any activity. President Roosevelt still wants 1 his court bill enacted into law. He seems to be very much in earnest i and to hold the firm opinion that a jurist has finished his job when I he reaches seventy. Recent decisions of the court have consistently favored the New Deal but this has in no way cooled off Mr. Roosevelt who wants a show-down on the proposed new acts to regu-) late the court as to age aud num ber. The main streets of any city cannot be used as parking lots without serious interference with the business of that community. These spaces should be reserved ' for use by those desirous of doing business in the stores and in many cities of this size that is being tak ; eu care of by half hour parking rules. Here it is even more important for upon the steps taken the next few months will depend the routing of state highways.! Think it over tor after all it’s up to us.

Jess Rice favors the building of I a proper amphitheatre tor use by I the boys aud girl's school bands ; aud is working on it. He believes ,jit could be located at the east end lof Madison street, making it con- ♦ j venlent for those who wish to use t the free parking lot aud close to | the business center of the city, t He Is calling on various business men and leaders and is euthus- ’ iastic about the proposition. It is J a splendid thing to work out and ! if it can be done, bet any thing ) you have that Mr. Rice will do it. 1 1 President Roosevelt has ordered H a let-up in federal spending, which is one of the wisest steps he lias taken. If we don't soon let up on the crop of deficits in various spending agencies, we wont be able to get out of the hole. The returns on profits were not as large as anticipated and the only i course left in curtailment. While ' business has improved, most eon--1 cents have debts piled up during the depression that keep them I from showing very large profits. A few large enterprises have made large sums but the general average is after all, what counts. The saving order is good news for it will help to restore confidence as much as any thing we can think of. I The Wabash ditch case has again been reopened. Judge Kister taking the initiative and conducting j | the proceedings in a manner that I shows he desires a supreme court I ruling on the constitutionality of. j the new law enacted by the recent j i legislature and which if good. I I would close the matter. Just what I action is contemplated now by the , remonstrators and their attorneys' we cannot say but no doubt they i are by no means through fighting, i I The construction of the drain at' a cost of approximately $200,000 | would be ruinous to a number of farmers along the Wabash aud they claim would pe of no benefit, i it has been in the courts for years and it at least will be something' to have it definitely decided. Robert Moses, former Republican candidate for governor of NewYork, in a readable article in Amer-. I ican Magazine, points out what he i I thinks is wrong with the G. O. P. 1 He admits that about every thing is and thinks every one connected with the old organization ought to I be fired and a new fores taken on. He sums up thus: “We need some first class political funerals in our party. It is a solemn, if somewhat ironical, fact that among the worers excluded from the bene- | fits of the federal payroll tax. i no group is more helpless or more in need of pensions than the average state aud local Republican committee. Some 4 of us might almost be recon- e oiled to the eccentricities of . ( the National Security Act, if 1 it would take these old men of * the sea off our necks." * -—-o — J t ♦4 i c Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two !
