Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Don't fail to register If you need to do so to qualify to vote in November. It’s the concensus of opinion from farmers that we have had enough rain for a few days, much as they appreciated the showers of the last week. The election this year will be . very important for it will show, in | the congressional and senatorial | contests, particularly, whether we , will support President Roosevelt in ! his valiant light for the people or I not. The average pedestrian is willing to forgive every car driver except those who turn a corner 1 sharply without giving any signal. It may be funny to the driver to ■ watch someone jump but he doesn't , get much of a thrill of delight out of it. State police will visit here oc~casionally to see that the traffic "laws, speed limits, and obeyance "of light signals are complied with --by motorists. They also will check your lights, your driver's license and otherwise enforce regulations. The wise drivers will be prepared. " There may be some dispute as to whether times are good or bad but it seems that folks are going places any way. The recent re- • port by Virgil Simmons, commissioner of conservation, shows that .attendance in state parks so far .this year, shows an increase of per cent over the same period ' for last year. Alt Landon will probably never 'have a home in the White House ”at Washington but he and his family have just moved into a beauti—ful new structure, recently completed near Topeka, Kansas, that ffib is an adaptation of Mt. Vernon, .once the home of George Washington. It looks comfortable and ..comodious from its pictures. The car which approaches a state highway or main thoroughfare also has his rights, it has been held. Os course he must watch his .c hance and use judgment but once he turns on the street he must be considered and it's up to the car dashing along on that thoroughNational Safety Council

fare to slow up and give the car ahead a chance to pick up. All the time it pays to be courteous. Cincinnati Is forgetting all her every day troubles now because of interest and faith in the Reds. That ball chib is making the top notchers In the National league exert themselves and there are fans who are conndent they will be in first position before the season is over. Any way they are doing a good job of making the Buckeyes forget their worries. Grandfather built well in his time and generation. He used the best facilities then available, and made a worthy contribution to the evolution of the American family abode. However, sound judgment should not be swayed by tender sentiment when houses are being appraised. Today's well built residence will endure longer than has Grandfather's house, is more economical to operate, affords more comfort, requires less upkeep—and is a safer house in which to live. —Building News. If you visited the Hanna-Nutt-man park over the week-end, you 1 were, we are sure, impressed with the fact that Boy Scouts were hav-1 ing a fine time at their annual Camporee. It's a great experience for these boys, each of whom is happy that they have such a wonderful place to meet, so close to I hiome. Until recently they had to Igo to the lake region to find a : I suitable spot. Now they can hold I their sessions at this local park | i which is well equipped with three ! ! cabins, lights, furnaces and exeel-' lent well water. The cabins were I donated by the Legion. Rotary and j Lions. With a halt dozen troupe ' of scouts in the county, it would . be a fine thing, a good influence ; and helpful to the youngsters, H j these meetings could be held more , i frequently, several times a year. ■ The camp can be used as often as , desired and the cost is so slight compared to the benefits, that we j feeTaml 'ft has been suggested by several leaders that it would be a good thing to have at least another meeting or two between now and October. It will not happen this year or next, but the time seems to be approaching when the public ■ schools, especially those in the . cities will be open on a year-around basis. This may seem rather ad-I vanced, but noted educators throughout the country are advocating such a plan. One of these | is Superintendent Johnson of the Chicago city schools. He points out that no other enterprise involving an investment of millions of dollars is allowed to be idle as j long as the schools. Most city schools operate on a nine-months basis. This means that the property is idle for three months out of the year although the invest-I meat is large and capable of carrying on through the full year. It I may be that the creation of vocational agricultural departments and the 4-H club work may have an important bearing on the subject. The agricultural teachers are on I a full-time basis and the 4-H work is carried on actively during the vacation period. — Hartford City News-Times. Remember the turnpike roads of our grandfathers’ days, whose users paid toll? They seem to be coming back. A big private enterprise of this sort is projected in Pennsylvania. There is to be a high speed toll highway built over , the Allegheny Mountains from! Pittsburgh to Harrisburg, a dis-{ cost of $60,000,000. Forty-year! bonds will be sold to raise the I capital, the first $10,000,000 immediately. The promoters are so sure of the feasibility of this enterprise that they talk confidently of earning nearly $3,000,000 the first year. AU traffic over this road will pay a small mileage charge. It is expected that trucks, busses and even private automo-
