The average life for the women < of America is now 69 years. A few years ago it was forty, showing what science has done for the the fair sex. George Horace Lorimer once put' it this way: "It’s good to have, money and the things money can buy, but it’s good too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost things money can t buy.” Looks as though some of those in control or near-control of affairs in Europe are actually trying io work out plans to stop the wars and prevent others which seem to be pending. It s about time they they came to that reasonable con-1 elusion. W. Guy Brown, Cal E. Peterson, Ernest W. Busche, Walter Gard and George Thomas are the newly elected directors of the Rotary club, a group of men who will help that organization as they would any to which they wculd be chosen , to serve. — The campaign to save lives in this wild traffic ride in which about every one in the country is engag-, ing will amount to nothing unless you can be convinced that it's dangerous to speed, to violate rules, to tail to stop at the signs and for railroads and unless your' cooperation and that of every one else can be had. Advertising is the life blood of any business. Those who refuse to do it iu some form or another, just dry up and fade away like a rose. We insist that the sensible way to advertise in this territory is through this newspaper. Rates are low, we reach 15,000 people and they trade here. Try it this week and watch results. Renew your subscription now. News of importance to you is breaking each day. You can have it, home news, state, national- and foreign, the markets, sports, court news, features —all for a penny a day by mail. We don't want to drop your name from our lists but after all only a paid-up list is considered worth while by the advertiser. Another week end over and another list of terrible accidents in this and every state in the Union i As the weather continues to im ’ prove and the wide, open spaces to attract, the lists will grow. Reckless driving accounts for many of the fatalities one way or the other. Watch the other fellow and to do that keep your own car under control. The United States circuit court of appeals has held the unemployment insurance and old age pension laws unconstitutional, but that does not settle the question

!by any means. Other courts may > hold differently uud no one can 'guess what the Supreme Court will say about the question when it gets to them as it is sure to do one of these days. Bluffton will observe Its one hundredth birthday during their street fair. Wednesday. September 22nd, having been fixed as the date. A program, especially planned to .•ommemorate the occasion, will be worked out and the annual street fair will be built around that. It will be an outstanding event forl this part of the state as was the 1 celebration here last August. The baseball season is on. For millions who live in cities will I come the thrill of watching the opener today and in every hamlet and town other millions will be listening in and watch the sport) pages of the newspapers. It’s the I ' great national game and this season promises to be the most exciting in all history with the teams well matched and the usual great i desire to win the pennants. While the interstate commerce commission has fixed the blame for the recent wreck on the Erie here, it is not probable that crimI inal charges will be filed. The fireman of the train charged with the negligence was killed and the en gineer is slowly recovering from i terrible injuries. We do not doubt that he has suffered more than ' any one knows and it seems that I nothing particular can be gained by prosecution. A Minnesota farmer. Oscar Pet-' erson, Swedish and timid, died a few days ago. When officials went , , to check his estate, they found an automobile jacked up in the garage. bought iu 1917 and never run , a mile. Investigation showed that I ' the owner had purchased it to get away from the fast-talking sales-, I men of that country. He probab- [ ly now has a spot within the pearly ’ gates where the high-pressure boys ■ can't bother him. Hugh Barnhart, Rochester publisher, and well known state lead(er, has been named to serve as i state excise administrator to suc-j I ceed Paul Fry who resigned three | weeks ago. Mr. Barnhart formerly served as a member of the state | j highway commission and in the. 1936 campaign was the candidate for congress in the Second district. > He is an able and capable gentle-1 , man who should look after this im- ! portant post with dignity and to, the satisfaction of the people of Indiana. We are sure that w ill be ‘ - his purpose and his effort. Why not half hour parking on 1 Second and Monroe streets? Unless some plan along this line is worked out, we haven t a chance . to continue highways Nos. 27 and 224 through the city. They will go through the outskirts and so , will the traffic. That means much to the merchants here. On the other hand if we show we can control traffic through the business part of the city, there is a chance to retain the routes as they are now. These will be definitely and permanently decided upon during this year because beginning Jauu- , ary Ist, the highways will be im-j proved through the cities, mean- - ing the state will maintain those thoroughfares. It's an important problem for this and every community to work out the plans right, now that they want during the ■ next decade and perhaps for a long i time. I o—. 0 —. Music Festival Is Pronounced Success The first annual music festival I of the rural schools was pronounced a success today by C. E- Striker, county superintendent of schools, after a detailed report had been t prepared. The festival, sponsored to further music interest in the ' schools, was (presented before a . j large crowd at the Geneva high t I school Friday night. 1 ‘ frade In a Good Town — Decatur,
