The luscious catnaloupc crop in, and around Vincennes is being harvested. More than 2,000 acres are planted to melons this year and the crop is estimated to be worth $150,000. Those who tasted the Indiana variety vouch that it is worth it. — —- , I They do a lot of crazy things in , the name of love. A New York < auto salesman strangled another * ( man's wife because they both lov-. I ed each other and being married, 1 couldn’t live together. He might have been more of a Romeo if he had socked her in the face. Cut the weeds on your vacant , lot. We noticed several places in the uptown district where weeds cover the entire territory and naturally make the adjoining places unattractive. At the edges 2 of town, along some of the high-, ways and at different points in the city, the weeds should be cut and “ cut >ow. As summer rolls along the time; arrives for the semi-annual session of the Reppert Auction school. Plans are underway for the open- • Ing of the summer semester August, - 2nd and Colonel Reppert is already I * assured of having one of the larg- • eat classes in the history of this - famous auctioneer-making school. - Decatur is glad to welcome the * students who come from all parts “ of the country. 1 «• ———III II China broadcasts the news that « it is ready for war with Japan and fighting has already started. A drive is being made on Peiping, which according to press dispatches the Chinese have success- £ fully resisted. If war is declared " it is likely that Russia and possi- - bly several of the European na- - tions will be brought into it. The world may see a repetition of the - 1917 Conflict, America staying on i «, this side if It does comes. The members of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion have elected Ralph E. Roop as their ■ commander. Ralph will do credit to the job and the post will have fine leadership under his administration. He ic sincere and believes in rendering service when called upon. He succeeds J. Henry Faurote, who during the past year made an excellent record for himself and his post. We bespeak another active and worth-while year for Adams Post and its membership. DeWitt Morgan has been elected ■' to one of the most important and highest jobs in the state—that of running the Indianapolis school system. The new superintendent ( succeeds the late Paul Stetson, a i nationally known educator. He I' 11 has been a member of the school j faculty for 21 years and his job,, ( ail will admit, is one of the biggest in the state. To him is entrusted I the education and character building of the tciio of thousands of boys a»4 girls ana that is more import- 1 ant than running a great industrial

concern, where success Is figured I ' in production of commodity. John L. Lewis is going to run things to suit himself and has assumed control of labor s nonpartisan league. He will find that he can’t be right in everything he does and that it will be impossible for him to control and lead the millions of employes according to his way of thinking. He is asking for more power than any one man can safely account for and the country has lost confidence in his supreme leadership. Employes aren’t any different than the rest of the people. They want what : privileges are coming to them, but I do not want to be pawns for the other fellow. The highlights of the Fair week program have been announced and each day of the week has been designated with a feature attraction or observance. The big festivities open Monday night with a parade, opening of the midway and free acts. Tuesday will be known as school day and hundreds of children, including the junior bands, will participate. On 'Wednesday the 4-H clubs will conduct their show, with the additional attraction of visiting the local plant of Cloverleaf Creameries. Thursday will be Homecoming day; Friday, Adams County day and Saturday the Mardi Gras. It will be a big week with plenty of thrills and fun for everyone, bands, parades, merry-go-round, sky rides and everything. We listened to an enthusiastic talk between County Agent Archbold, “Yub” Schmitt and Roy Price who were arranging final details for the big livestock show next week. Without any baloney, the show is to be bigger and better than ever. More cattle and horses will be shown and the exhibits will include some of the finest litfgsjpok, ever shown in this part lof the tftate. With local dairy and feeding cattle and horses selling at the highest prices paid anywhere in the country, Adams county farmers can put on a show of more merit than seen any place, with the probable exception of • the state fair. The committee is 1 really sold on the coming show and you'll miss something if you fail to see it. o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File July 29, 1917 was Sunday. o + — Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 4 — « 1.

ley of Kentucky already has put his colleagues on a heavy schedule. He is convening the chamber at 11 a. m., an hour earlier than usual, to speed the pending wages j and hours bill. In their general objective, the] leadership was assured of the aid of three important senate blocs 1 opposing quick adjournment. Senators from a dozen sugar-' raising states were ready to fight ■ adjournment until action has been ■ taken on their demand for sugar: i legislation at this session. Prior to the visit of a congress-1 ional delegation to the White) House today to present this view j i to the president, Sen. William E. i - Borah, R-, Ida., said there was | ■ strong sentiment for his proposal j

to "tie all legislation into a bow knot” until the sugar bill pending in the house is enacted. The threat, coupled with a determined stand by the sugar bloc in both houses, appeared likely to result in action on the bill con tinuing the quota restrictions, levying an excise tax and providing benefit payments to growers. Sen. Claude Pepper. D.. Fla., announced, meanwhile, that he would fight any legislation that failed to increase the Florida cane sugar quota. House Democratic leader Sam Rayburn of Texas said after the legislative conference at the White House that he was hopeful the sugar bill would “get somewhere.” The group of 14 senate "freshmen" and a bloc of strong administration supporters led hy Sen. Sherman Minton. D., Ind., and Sen. Hugo L. Black, D. Ala., were insistent that adjournment be delayed until the entire program has been enacted.

Ind., July U-R> — Mrs Vivian Dorsett held with Fred, for and passing Innumerable worth less cheeks in Indiana during '** past four years, yesterday changed her Plea of guilty to one of not guilty and will be tried In the September term of the Morgan circuit court. No reason was given for he action. When arraigned last Friday she pleaded guilty to the charge and was to have been sentenced yesterday after state police recommended that leniency be extended to her by the court. William G. Dray was appointed as her attorney and bond for Mrs. Dorsett was set at $2,500. Mrs. Dorsett said, and state police believed, that she was merely a tool of her husband in passing the worthless checks. Mrs. Louise Botts of Brazil, who is almost a ’double’’ for Mrs. Dorsett, at one time was convicted of passing the bad checks and served 14 months in the state women’s prison before the mistaken identity was detected. Mrs. Dorsett signed a statement in Mrs. I Botts’ presence exonerating her of ) responsibility for the offense. Dorsett is held for trial at Frankfort. The seven children of the couple are with relatives at ; Osborn. O.

ning their morning runs, werei set non by striking drivers. Window, were smashed and handle ?om from doors as the big carriers made their way along city and mihurban routes. The drivers, protesting a city charter amendment which went into effect today. appeared early at terminals to prevent street car men from taking out buses. The charter granted systemwide seniority to all Detroit street railway employes Drivers objected to this because their division has been in operation only 12 years, while the street ear unit has a seniority extending over de““sulking drivers are members of the Motor Coach Operator s association. George A. Schant business agent for the union, said approximately 800 of the city s 1 020 drivers were striking. rnf3 figure was confirmed by the DSR through general superintendent Fred Nolan, who said, however, that service was being maintained on a skeleton basis through cooperation of street car men -• members of the Amalgamated Street and Railway Employes association. •Service is about 35 per cent normal." Nolan said
