It is hoped the strikes will be I settled and that the next year will be as good as we all thought this one would be. There are some indications for that. Hail storms damaged the Michigan peach crop to the extent of a hundred thousand bushels, accord-1 ing to reports from produce men, j who also predict higher prices after this week. - Children who ride bicycles will do well to be careful every moment. If they ride the sidewalks they endanger pedestrians and if they use ■ the streets they are taking consid-1 erable chances with traffic. The poll of the American Institute of Public Opinion shows the country two to one against continuing the supreme court fight but also gives President Roosevelt his usual sixty per cent popularity. —■—- A lull in business generally the past couple of weeks is not alarming. It is no doubt due to the warm weather of that period but with the cooler breees over the weekend, there is a pick-up that could continue the next several mouths. Have you ever figured out that a car going 61 miles an hour has a half more crushing power than one going fifty? Fifty times fifty is 2,500 while 61 times 61 is 3,721. And that extra force makes a lot ot' difference when you get a bump. The break in the stock market came so soon after Roger Babson s advice to sell your holdings that it looks like it may have had something to do with it. The average stock gambler is a coward and it doesn't take much to give him the “jitters.” . The next couple of months will le glorious ones in Indiana for those who love the great outdoors. You will see pictures no artist can paint if you drive over the country and some of the prettiest scenes ■will be those on the “farm to market” roads. Don't miss them. Chicago school children are getting their lessons via the radio and most of them feel that's a fine setup. If they don't want to listen they can turn the button and hear Jack Benny or Bob Burns and mom doesn’t make much fuss about it for she too prefers the jokes to the serious. IL -t_.

no declaration of war. Some one ought to tell them about it but this nation will continue to remain on the outside, watching those nations foolish enough to fight keep up their silly programs. Big towns don't differ much from small ones. Indianapolis newspap- ; ers are demanding a survey for •| better sewerage facilities, the re,l cent heavy rains having caused i i damage in many basements. But j the same papers will cry about the ] 1 higher taxes required to meet the , demands, when they come. ■ ' | The stock markets made the biggest downward slide last week in several years, due it is claimed because the big dealers became frightened over the prospects of war. It's certainly a temporary lull, probably put over by smart speculators who gamble on the ups and downs i of the ticker, for the country generally is going good, with plenty of work and an increasing business. | Mr. Hoover favors a big Repub- | lican convention for next spring to plan for rejuvinatiou of the G. O. P. It would provide opportunity for him and a lot of others to get the hot air out of their systems but it would also produce a fight bei tween conservatives and progres- | sives that would about finish them I off. The eastern boys are against it and that means they won't have | it, but another “grass root” meetj ing for the west and mid-west is not improbable. The proposed new highway bej tweeu Decatur and Monroe over 27 should be thirty to thirty-two feet ! wide, providing three lanes. Traffic is making this necessary and it could be done now at small extra expense. Proper enthusiasm here would probably bring that about but if we do nothing, we will get a twenty-foot road and then to change it would mean an expenditure so large that the state commission won t be interested for a long time. Now is the time to get 1 busy if we want results. There can be nothing very seriously wrong with the requests from the state administration that those employed in the various departments of the state be loyal to Governor Townsend. The G. O. P. newspapers which are now "putting the heat on" in hopes of arousing some sentiment favorable to the Republicans, would not tolerate for a moment any employee of theirs who by word or act, showed disloyalty. The governor is right —you can't ride two horses as the same time, going in opposite directions. J. Edgar Hoover has declared war on crime and from his report * it is high time that millions join his army to cooperate with the Gmeu in the greatest battle of all time. He estimates that crime is costing this nation fifteen billion dollars a year, that a major crime is committeed every fifteen seconds, that the army of those nowengaged in such pursuits runs into the millions and unless it is checked will ruin the land. Mr. Hoover ( now has in his files the finger prints of 4,300,000 men and women ( who have been charged with major . crimes. Think of it, one out of ( every 29 of our population. Os . course those figures do not hold ( on the l average in communities like this, but are largely increased in the cities. Mr. Hoover wants to ■ enlist every club and service organization and is writing a series of articles telling how they can ' help in this great fight. "We can crush crime in America—but every law-abiding citizen must join the army against it” says the national director. ( o Chipmunk Too Crafty Three Rivers, Cal. (U.R) — To make sure he would not lose his automobile key while on a fishing trip, J. Leever conceived the unhappy idea of burying it near the parked automobile. When he returned in the evening, he found that a chipmunk had scented the leather key case, dug it out and departed with the entire booty. • ■ t •'I . < .- ">
