Cooperate in every way with the Chamber of Commerce in making the Street Fair and Agricultural Show a big success. The midway will contain plenty of clean, wholesome amusement and entertainment and the Agricultural Showwill aid greatly in the developing of 4-H clubs and encourage members to go oii with their program. If the Supreme Court reorganization bill is not reported out of the committee it will die a natural death, unless a petition is signed by 21S representatives in Congress asking that it be reported for a house vote. Congressman Sumners announces it will not be reported, by the judiciary committee and that may end the fight to increase the court membership during this term of congress. Governor Townsend has ordered a probe of the charges of gambling and vice rackets in Clark county of which Jeffersonville is the county seat. Attorney-General Jackson will conduct the investigation, which was ordered by the governor after a delegation of Jeffersonville citizens informed him of conditions down along the Ohio river. State police officers have been assigned to the job. The indignation of the citizenry came from the lack of local law enforcement and the murder which occurred recently in one of the socalled gambling joints. Such conditions always run their course. The federal government will not give approval to cross country and across ocean stunt Hying. Announcement has been made that trips planned merely for the sake of publicity and self interest will not be permitted. No mention was

The result of your earning time is not wasted when the shopping for your home and family is done from the ads in this newspaper. When your dollar comes into a cash drawer of one of our advertisers, a bigger dollar's worth is given to you in exchange. Relatively that makes your pay envelope fatter. Buying the same quality for less money never hurts anybody's feelings. Aditorial by

made of the Earhart flight, but the statement sold that useless destruction of human life must cease and that flying trips which did not have a purpose other than adven ture back of them, would be banned. It s alright to encourage aviation and the developing of the Industry, but stunt flying does not aid cither cause. Even if a successful trip could be made over the South Pacific, it would not materially help flying over the barren wastes. It may not be according to the spirit of the law and most of us wouldn’t want to avenge ourselves that way, but you’ll find a lot of sentiment for the father who went to the Chicago police station and tried to kill the youth who assaulted and murdered hlkr’ittle ninc-year old daughter. The father’s shots went haywire and he will not be charged with murder. Most parents can see how the father would lose his sense of reasoning and in a moment of grief and emotion take the chance of becoming a murderer himself. It seems that the cause of justice will best be fulfilled if the sex-crazy youth is given the most severe penalty. Ideas and laws change with the times. Indianapolis is now considering passage of an ordinance permitting taxi cabs to park in j front of fire hydrants in the con-1 jested districts, th u s utilizing j vacant space on the streets. The' same ordinance proposes to pro-, hibit taxis from cruising over the j uptown streets, which adds to traffic conjestion. If cabs can park ( in front of hydrants, other auto drivers may want to do the same thing. At present it is against the state law to park within 10 feet of a hydrant and it seems that Indianapolis will first have to seek j repeal or amendment of that law. The ■ taxi drivers would be compelled to remain in their cars so they could pull away on a moments notice in case of fire and that plan might get around the state law. Many motorists are failing to observe the new accident reporting law which went into effect | June 7, the state safety director! concludes, when last week only 200 reports were received. It seems that many motorists believe that police reports of an accident meet the requirements of the law, but that is not the case. The new law provides that “the driver of every motor vehicle which is involved in any accident resulting in injury or death of any person, or total property damage to an extent of $25 or more, shall, within 24 hours after such accident occurs. forward a written report of such accident to the Department of Public Safety.” Copies of the report form may be obtained at the police headquarters, the sheriffs office or from the state police. Failure to file a report is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a finq of not exceeding SIOO. That the reports will be properly made out, the assistance us law enforcing officials is offered. The information is regarded as confidential and is for the purpose of obtaining facts about accidents and use them for a scientific program of traffic improvement. — Newcastle CourierTimes. SEARCHING THE SOUTH SEAS? Few who watch the papers for news of the search for Amelia Earhart have adequate conception of the distances and area involved. One navy officer helping to direct the search is quoted as saying “there is one chance in a million of finding her.” That might wound extravagant, but probably is much nearer to the truth than is generally realized. The fact must be borne in mind that the part of the Pacific in which she disappeared is traversed by few ships. There are many small islands and coral reefs widely scattered.

PREDICT FRUIT CROP INCREASE Indiana Fruit C ""’' Ex ' cept Peaches. To Be Best In Years Indianapolis. Ind., July - 11 * - Indiana fruit crops, with the ex ception of peaches, will yield ■ vest from 50 to 75 per h *J e than last year, Horace E- Abbo. Marlon county agricultural agent, predicted today. o 3 The increase will m most ca ; be the best in recent years, Abbott reported. He mM it is not po*ffi le to measure the value of the 19>■ fruit crop in dollars and cento cause most crops arc only in the earliest stages of harvest. The peach crop will be extremely short, between 15 and 20 percen lof normal, because many peach I trees were killed by the severe winters of 1935 and 1936. the agriI cultural agent asserted. Trees which survived those years, however, are heavily laden and of excellent quality, he pointed out. The apple harvest, leading orca-
