This seems to be one of those seasons when the farmer who expects to get in his corn and beets and beans will have to watch closely and slip into the fields between showers. Congress is slashing the salary of Harry Hopkins, progress administrator. to $H».OO0. a reduction of $2,000 but so far there are no rumors of a sit-down strike. The highway committee recently appointed by Mayor llolthouse will meet the first of next week, it has been announced, a delay having been necessary while City Engineer Roop prepared plans from which, various routes may be discussed. With the field days, automobile races and other sports well out of the way soon, we can settle down to three or four months of undisturbed baseball, which after all is sufficient for millions of fans who still believe that it's the greatest national sport. An early warning to boys that fire crackers ami other fire works are dangerous. Each year there is a long list of casualties and those who plan to have a noisy celebration of the 4th should plan to be careful. It's easy to got hurt when handling explosives. They are all set for the big races at Indianapolis Monday with thirty-three starters, the limit permitted. It is predicted that with fair weather and a safe track all previous records will be smashed into smithereens. Indications are for a record crowd Graduates will do well to remember that the world does not owe them a living but only the opportunity to earn one. The hard er you work, the better you have learned your school lessons, the more you study in the future, the easier and better it will be. It is suggested that Tenth street was originally intended as a boulevard and is the only eighty foot street in the city. It could more easily be connected up for a through highway perhaps than any other and will be given consideration by those to investigate. It's Poppy day and everywhere the red blooms are being worn as a sign that we still hold in high-

est esteem those brave boys who I were injured lu service, for thut's I what the funds are used for, to bring a ray of happiness and some extra pleasures to the veterans. ; An Allen county Jury this week returned a verdiet In three mlnut- ' es. a record there and probably for ; the entire United States. A little ■ more speed in court actions would , 1 be popular though of course this I should not be done unless due dei liberation lias been given to the ' law and the evidence. I . i When they opened the new Gold i en Gate bridge at San Francisco the other day. more than a hundred thousand people walked across it the first ten hours. They agreed the pleasure was the fact they didn't have to dodge a car or any other vehicle, but could just swing along. The death of Paul Minneman. 33 years old, a* brave and popular member of the state police force j as a result of the ambush by the Brady gang, following a bank robbery at Goodland, should and no doubt has intensified all those in authority to hunt down these criminals at any cost and see that they 1 are properly punished. ; Several of those Republican . newspapers which started out booming Senator Robinson for appointment to the Supreme Court bench have already begun to prove him a conservative and a traitor ' to the president. What they would give for some real issue to which they could tie with safety and success. Governor Townsend thinks the t •highbrows" who have been preaching at the welfare meeting ■ at Indianapolis this week, would ■ quit criticizing and get down to j 1 earth and help in practical w ays. | • they would do much greater good 'tor fifb caust they profess to be fighting for. The governor is right ' as usual 1 It may seem funny to you that bandits like the Brady gang can : continue to terrorize a state and 1 not be captured, but remember I they are killers who shoot first and then explain, that the greatest care must be taken in approach ’ and that they have numerous hide- ’ outs. Eventually they will be taken or shot down in battle but it's not an easy assignment as you may well imagine. 1 Memorial days are at hand. The occasion falling this year on Sunday makes it a double holiday for the observations generally will be 1 on Monday. Business will cease and a program suitable to the seaI son will be carried out. While to I I many it may seem to be just a ' holiday and an opportunity to make a two or three days trip, to the greater number it will be a time for paying the honor and respect to the deceased that is due. A mob is a crazy thing. Down in Bainbridge, Ga., a 24 year old negro assaulted a sixteen year old girl and then murdered her and a a 30 year old companion. As he was being taken to jail he leaped from the car and was immediately shot and killed by the officers. But in the meantime a mob was gathering and not content with the merciful shooting, they broke into the morgue took the negro's body and burned it. women and children joining the barbarious affair. Some time we doubt our claim to civilization. o ♦ —♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ « 1. Long Island Sound. 2. China. 3.
