Jardine is coming to America, probably having his eye trained on Hollywood. We don't know why they bother to take the time in placing men on trial in Russia. They're guilty before the trial starts and shot within 24 hours after the verdict is given. Just when we thought we were getting started on the happy vacation season, along comes the reminder that it’s time to start on budgets for next year. Drowuings are taking their toll at the start of the vacation season. Oue occurred at Bluffton and two at Peru over the week-end, reminding all that bathers must be careful. If pictures of the battles in the steel and auto districts in this country are carried in Spanish papers, the Spaniards are no doubt wondering who is putting up the best fight. Walter Pitkin wrote, “We are living in a world of revolutions, of which the mildest of all is the political revolution.” That seems to answer for a lot of the present day changes and outlooks on life. As the demand tor employment in private increases the WPA work-relief rolls are being reduced. In Indiana about 8,000 persons will be relieved of their jobs and given an opporunity to take employment in factories and other places. Gradually the country is getting back to normal conditions. The natural scenic beauty and general utility of Hanna-Nuttman park were appreciated during the Boy Scout Camporee. It is a wonderful place for holding events of this kind and the natural beauty of the place makes it all the more inviting. Drive out some evening at supper time and you'll get a thrill and feel glad you're living. To make stealing of cars and transferring of auto plates more difficult, an experiment is being tried in Minneapolis. The license numbers are being placed on the windshield and rear windowthrough a system of decalomania, the numbers being transferred so they cannot be removed without defacing the glass. The professional criminal would probably work out away to remove the glass and get away with the car.

A writer pens the interesting note that > | persons beyond forty are more in I 1 demand now than ever. It's no I longer the gum-chewing, painted doll, flapper type girl who has the | best chance of getting the job as I stenographer or secretary in the j executive office, but the woman around forty, he says. He may I be kidding about it. for all the ‘ girls we have seen behind the typewriter, apparently are under j 40. or wished they were. — Maurice Duperrey of Paris, I France, is the newly elected presi-1 dent of Rotary International, his selection being made at the Nice convention. He is the first man from Continental Europe to be i elevated to the presidency of this service organization. The conven- j | tion was attended by 6,000 Rotar- ‘ ians from all parts of the world ■ i and the theme around which the program was built, “An adventure in international understanding and good-will.” Rotary teaches good-! i will among people and nations | i and through its membership puts it into effect.

PLAN CHANGES IN SEED LAW Noxious Seed List To Be Discussed At Purdue Conference Lafayette, Ind.. June 16 -<U.R) — Proposed changes in the noxious weed seed list in Indiana will be ' discussed by slate farmers and seedsmen at uu annual weed and ; seed conference at Purdue univeri sity June 29. Dr. H. R. Kraybill, state seed commissioner, will be the principal speaker at the meeting. At present the Indiana seed law defines 19 common Indiana weeds as noxious and specifies that the j number of noxious weed seeds per pound of agricultural seed shall lie written on the official seed tag or label when the seed is offered for sale. These 19 noxious weeds include the worst prevalent in the state at the time the seed law was passed in 1921. Agriculturists point out. however. that with the passing of time some new and quite serious weed pests have been introduced into the state, many of which are capable of being distributed in farm seeds. The last Indiana general assembly amended the state seed law to permit the seed commissioner to remove as well as add weeds to the noxious list stipulated in the law. Some of the weeds being considered for inclusion in the noxious list include the perennial sow thistle, frequently considered! as serious as the Canadian thistle; ■ field bindweed, often called ] “creeping Jenny;” and Johnson; | cress, which is becoming a ser-1 ious pest in the southern part of the state. All of these are perennial weeds,: according to agricultural experts. They have well-developed underground root systems that make their eradication very difficult. Field pepper grass and winter cress also are being considered for inclusion in the noxious list because they seed so heavily they I constitute a growing menace to Indiana farmland.
