Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies Fine boys, the Scouts and firemen. The city is proud to be entertaining so many visitors and we ■ hope they are having a good time. It's almost time to cut bait —the fishing season opens next Wednesday morning at 12:01 o’clock central standard time. The firemen are in session and apparently enjoying it and we assure them we are likewise having' a good time watching their program. The town is filled with Boy Scouts, as fine a bunch of lads as you ever saw 7 . They are enjoying i camp life and a program that is i well adapted to the occasion. The sirens of visiting fire apparatus may frighten you a little but they arc only good will calls from the boys who protect the proper-j ty in this section the year around. Governor Townsend and Congressman Farley will be the speak- ; ers at Garrett the 26th when the dedication of their handsome new postoffice building will be held. It is to be quite an event according to the announced program with Mayor Fred Feick in charge of arrangements. - Limited or no parking on certain streets and in certain blocks is about the only method that seems successful in regulating traffic. It is being used extensively. In Lan-i sing, Michigan, Thursday Gover- 1 nor Murphy was fined a dollar be-1 cause his chauffeur parked the ex-j ccutive car overtime. We may be relaxing in Indiana' during a non election year but if i you want to get a dish of the real | thing slip across into Ohio where in each city they are mixing it up right now for city offices. Indica- ’ tions are that there will be some real contests with local issues and j personalities as the deciding factors. —————— Routing highways through Deca-| tur over any other streets than' Second and Monroe necessitates going over, under or around and of course that costs a lot of money. < Under the new law, right-of-wlys must be paid for by the city. There is much to think about when we get down to brass tacks on this problem. It seems that at present it will be almost impossible to route the state highways over any new streets or outside the city for to do so would mean much new construction. What can or will be done in the future will have to be worked out and in doing so the earnest cooperation of all citizens is needed. The Purdue commencement will ■ be held on Sunday this year and i the popularity or otherwise of this inovation will be watched with interest. Heretofore the exercises

have been held Monday following a campus celebration on the previous Saturday, making it expensive and inconvenient to parents and alumni who desire to attend. Governor Murphy must like hot spots. He has sponsored a measure which has passed the house and i is looked upon with favor, in the 1 senate, to permit the governor to ' fake over and operate industrial i plants which have been closed by labor disputes. We can't imagine any job that would be likely to ; hold more grief, especially in the state of Michigan. The stock market isn't doing so well these days and those who try this get-rich-quick idea are somewhat discouraged. We havn't any advice for them but we do believe that ffie present condition is encouraging for the worst thing that can happen to this nation will be ■ another false market rise. When the prices go up it should be because of increased earnings aud not because of some wild tip. Among the honorary degrees conferred today by Indiana State Teacher College is a recognition 1 of the service to the institution by Judge Sanford M. Keltner of Anderson. Judge Keltner was a student here in the Normal School, the forerunner of the present college, back in 1876 and '77, and graduated in 1878. He has been a i member of the board of trustees for over twenty years, and during his long life his affection for the i college, and his purpose to honor it have been manifested in many ways. For over fifty years he has i been an honored and respected. member of the Indiana bar. His, city of Anderson has been proud 1 in his citizenship, and his vigor- , ous character has been an inspiration to his fellow citizens. His counsel on the board of trustees has been valuable and he has watched the progress of education and teacher training in the state with jealous interest, both from of the state, and fßirrf the r standpoint of the constantly growing army of young I teachers who devote their life to education in Indiana. State Teachier College honors herself in thus recognizing the fine support she has had from Judge Keltner, and his long and solicitous interest in her welfare and progress.—Terre Haute Tribune. ! —o ■ 9 * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two I 1.

— i FLAG DAY Monday is Flag Day. It is more: it is the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of the adoption of the American national emblem by the Continental Congress on that memorable fourteenth day of June, 1777. “We take,” said George Washington in approving the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States of America, “the stars j from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white I stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white I shall go down to posterity representing Liberty." The world has never known a banner more humble in its origin, yet more daring in its conception, and more eloquent in its appeal to, : the hearts and minds of men the world over. It is the symbol of the hopes, the aspirations, the struggles, the sufferings, the victories, the happiness, the progress—in short, the very lives —of more than one hundred and twenty million people. Citizenship in the United States means loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. Indifference to the national emblem is akin to contempt. Contempt for the colors is the seed plot of treason and the soil of anarchy. Ignorance of it is the mother of vice. Therefore, on this day may each one of us reaffirm our allegiance to our flag by making the following pledge: “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”

I O ACT CALLS FOR STAFF OF 4,500 WASHINGTON (U.P.) — The Social Security Act is administered by a staff of 4,500 in seven buildings in Washington and one in Balt- ’ imore. Although the 2,500 clerks employed to eet up account numbers and a wage record system in Baltimore are on a “temporary" basis, officiate estimate that eventually a staff of 7,500 will be necessary. It ie expected that the wage rec--1 ords division will be transferred to Washington when building space is available or decentralized among the thousands of claims. Employee of the Social Security board administer only the old age benefits, unemployment compensation and public assistance provisions of the act. Public health, child health and vocational rehabilitation work are in charge, respectively, of the Treasury, Labor and Interior departments. The Treasury department acts as financial agent for the board, collecting all taxes and making all disbursements. In addition to 12 regional offices in key cities, the board has set up 116 field offices to handle claims and in the near future to handle applications for old age benefit cards, • which has been the work of the , Post Oilice department. Ae claims for monthly old age payments and lump-sum retirement and death payments mount during future years, the number of field offices probably will increase to 400. o Club Holds Album Contest 1 Cleveland (U.P.) — Members of Townsend Club 6 staged an “Old Album" contest to show how great--1 grandfather looked when he went courting and how great-grand- ’ mother was dressed on her wedding day.

FUEL ALCOHOL FOUND COSTLY Atchteon, Kas. (U.P.) — Attempts to find a new market for farm products by manufacturing wheat and corn into alcohol for industrial use have been disappointing, according to officiate of the Chemical Foundation here. October the foundation spent >400,000 in building a plant to carry on a search for means to transform wheat and corn into articles which could be used in industry. Ghpmists were hired to conduct scientific experiments, and there was talk of transforming corn and wheat into alcohol to be used as a blend with gasoline tor motor fuel. Now, after seven months of experimentation, chemists at the foundation have found that a bushel of corn will produce 2.4 gallons of alcohol and bushel of wheat 2.5 gallons. With both corn end wheat selling at high prices, however, the cost of producing the alcohol te prohibitive for its use as a motor fuel. Chemists said that gasoline, mixed with 10 per cent alcohol, make a superior motor fuel, and they still hope to discover a cheap way of producing alcohol for suel — against the future when the country’s petroleum recerves may be depleted. It would take about 700,000,000 bushels of corn annually—2s per cent of the normal field — -to supply 10 per cent of the motor fuel used on this country, the foundation reported. Artichokes, sweet potatoes and other starch-bearing products also can be used to manufacture alcohol, chemists said, and experiments are pow being carried out .to determine which plants are most suitable for this purpose. o Hen Pays Good Dividends Refugio, Tex. —(UP) —Two years ago Mrs. Fred Hamilton borrowed a hen and a nest of eggs. Through an agreement with neighbors from whom she borrowed the fowl and the eggs, she kept the hen constantly setting.
