Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. | Pikes Peak fe blanketed with ten inches of snow, so if this brand ' of Indiana weather is too hot for | you. you know where to go. The thieves who stole 7351 pounds of dynamite from a stone company, should leave a clue if they ever start using their loot. The Grand Leader strike in Fort Wayne has been settled, which is encouraging news. The dispute j has been carried on since April 9 | and like most controversies must come to an end eventually. Dean McClure of the University of Illinois has at last given the world the solution how to be perfectly happy. He says, “to be perfectly happy be completely ignorant." Well, we never felt happier in our life. Only six weeks of the vacation season remain. The summer is slipping away, like it always does, and it won't be long until every household is concerned about starting the children back to school or sending them away to college. The legislature is working out its program and hopes to complete its jobs within a few days. The building program will create work and give the state facilities to care for its educational and benevolent i institutional demands at about half j the initial cost. The attack made on the little girl is revolting to say the least. Every possible clue should be furnished the officers, who have formed a combination of city, state and county officials in the effort to get information leading to the arrest of the demon. Although no trouble is anticipated, every precaution will be taken | to maintain order and provide sufficient police protection during street fair week. Stale and city police and the sheriff’s office will f see that sufficient men patrol the I city and hold violations down to a minimum. The fair will be clean. A shake up in baseball circles came with the appointment of “Gabby” Hartnett, as manager of the Chicago Cubs, succeeding Charley Grimm of diamond tame. Owner Phil Wrigley is having his troubles, together with Dizzy Dean’s sore arm and the fact his team lias sunk into third place in the National league. The Republican newspapers seem to take exception to the lilans of the Democratic editors to go to French Lick for a harmonious meeting next August. Sure, they would like to see the boys pull hair and break up the harmony in the party which assures the Demo-

And will Jim Watson and Ray Willis both attend the Washington shindig and eat hot dogs together? *’ Not a dissenting vote was cast against the repeal of the auto 1 "gadget" law The House voted t S 3 to 0 to abolish the provision of I -iplayiii.g thi < > rtitii ate of title h< wind ai id • <1 » '•* • l 't the St nett w o • • ibout -di the troeghi there Is In Indiana, tor > some law seemed to be the only ’ thing with which people found I fault. Repeal of the law leaves the • Republicans without an issse. The newly Improved streets are being opened as rapidly as possible and every thought is being given to the convenience of the motorists. U. 8. road 27 is opened from Fifth street over the gridge and j one-way traffic lanes have been, established on Second street. Mercer avenue is being rolled and assurance has been given that it will be opened before street fair week. The people appreciate the thoughtfulness and cooperation of I the contractor and state highway superintendents. | = I This community will be privilegI id to hear one of the outstanding , choirs in the country with the ■ ' appearance of the Paulist Chorist-1 era ot Chicago at the Centennial j celebration of St. Mary’s church on I August 21. The choir, composed j of boys and young men Is recog- ( nized as one of the most famous | choirs in the land and Father : Seimetz, local pastor, is to be con-1 gratulated on bringing the organ- | ization here to participate in the services marking the 100th anni- 1 versary of the saying ot the first , mass in Decatur. Will H. Hays, director of the | moving picture industry, in commenting about the Department of ■ Justice's action to investigate prac-1 tics in the business, brings out an j interesting point. Theaters and pictures are more or less taken tor , granted and the large audience which attends the showings week-' ly probably does not consider its magnitude. Being one of America’s newest industries, it has grown from nothing to great proportions. I It employs nearly 280,000 people,! keeps 17,500 theaters in operation in about 9.000 cities and towns, produces a billion dollars worth of • business and is responsible for a I hundred million dollars of taxes, j The pictures industry, like the auto, radio and airplanes Indus- 1 tries, is a product ot the present I generation. We regret to record the death ol R. A. Drummond, one of the I three remaining Civil War veter-! I ans in this county, whose death I occurred Friday morning. He would have been 97 years old next December. The community holds j a certain reverance for the veter-' ans of '65 and in our hearts there beats the desire that they might I remain with us always. Mr. Drum-1 mond was a fine citizen of the I | community. He was active until J ■ a few months ago, could get about i the house like a person a score of I years younger and always maintained a cheerful outlook. He frequently expressed his love and devotion for his country and was proud of the fact that he served in the Union ranks to preserve this great nation. With his death there remains only two Civil War veterans in Adams County, bong may they live. o — English Students Most Tidy San Joes, Cal. — KU.R> — Arthur Saxon, janitor-custodian at San Jose State college, wuld like to have all students major in English. English students, he insists, are tidier than any other group and leaves less for him to clean up after. o Dog Commits Suicide • West Hartlepool. England <U.R) — A small black dog. apparently tired of life, committed suicide here. The dog walked slowly across the Union Dock to the quayside and gazed dejectedly into the water. For a few minutes it waited, then . plunged over.
