It’s the Ideal place to go for a rest after the vacation is over. Hogs are quoted at 13 cents a pound, a new high for pork. A years ago the market was 10 cents, a substantial increase in 12 months. Farm communities are coming back strong with the increased buying power given the farmer. Do you have your driver’s license? How about the brakes and lights on your automobile? State police may make a check-up anytime and you can save yourself a lot of inconvenience if you have your card and your car in shape for inspection. No additional cost was involved by the Navy in the search for Miss Earhart, President Roosevelt has announced. The navy has to support the ships anyway and pay the sailors and crew and the effort made to find Miss Earhart all went in the daily running of the fleet. If the same increase is made next year as was registered this year, Indiana will have more than a million automobiles on the road. A total of 939,283 cars is licensed, an increase of about 75,000 over a year ago. Someone will make

a request for license plats No. | 1,000,000 and in all probability get it. Then after’ the town gets new streets, a new bridge, school house, community center, a river drive, more homes, modern stores and additional park facilities, there will be something else we will need. That’s the way good communities are built. Always trying to improve and fiever becoming completely satisfied with the progress made. The streets will be turned over to the Street Fair Association for the week of the fair and agriculture show and regulations as to placing of stands and booths and other concessions will be in charge of the board. The midway will be a bright spot and attractively decorated for the crowds. The week promises to be a happy one for all those who meet their friends and enjoy the fun. Guglielmo Marconi, one of the great men of the century is dead. His discovery of wireless telegraphy will forever give him a prominent place in history. Only such men as Edison and the Wright brothers have contributed anything of equal importance to humanity. Radio and its great pleasures never would have been attained had it not been for Marconi’s discoveries. The world will always owe him a great debt of gratitude for he left a great gift to it. The Central Soya company and McMillen Feed Mills are expanding so fast that it is difficult to keep up with the new buildings being arfected. Additions to both ludustries are being made at a rapid

rate and the future development is also planned. Besides the expansion lit buildings and terminal facilities, one of the heavy demands made is for electric power from the City Plant and if this Is 1 furnished as the Industries grow, L it will mean the continued improve- , ment and enlarging of the munici--1 pal utility. , A trade magazine contains the i following bit: ‘’Yesterday 72 Am- ' ericans opened the doors of their cars, slid with more or less diffl- , cully under the steering wheel, stomped on the starter, shifted gears and that was the end. They were brought home corpses. Also yesterday 54 of us in this country were laid on a coroner's slab because we stepped in front of an automobile. Besides the dead as accounted for above there are 300 others who will be cripples the rest of their lives because of some automobile wreck which occured yesterday.” A few Republican papers have pointed out that Governor Townsend has been making speeches at dedication ceremonies for bridges, schools and other institutions of a public nature. They seem jealous that the governor should be invited. Hoosiers feel at home with Governor Townsend and it is a spirit of pride which prompts them to invite their chief executive to grace the occasion. We haven’t heard any complaints from the communities where the Governor has appeared and chances are Cliff Townsend will continue to be the good fellow in spirit and help where he can. Indiana likes him fine. President Roosevelt undoubtedly voiced the general feeling ot the people of the United States when he sent his congratulations to the people ot the Dominion of Canada on the 70tb birthday of their nationhood and remarked that both t nations have “a common aspiration to maintain, to defend and to perpetuate the democratic form of , constitutional representative gov- , emment.” On both sides of the ( border, people have come to realize that the friendly, harmonious relationship between the two . countries is one of the brightest , facts in a suspicion-weary world. The two countries grow and prosper together; they are populated by much the same sort ot people, and they seek common goals. They have demonstrated that an . international boundary line need . not be a focal point for hatred or ; jealousy. — Huntington Herald-

Indiana works progress administration administrator an-1 nounced today that effective * the first August payroll period all trucks and teams owned by WPA workers and used on projects will cease to operate as worker-owner equipment.

Purchase orders for the operation • of such trucks will be issued by the division in the usual manner and there will be no discrimination whatever between non-relief and; relief equipment owners, the administrator said.
