He no doubt needs a rest from the strenuous campaign. Although the early polls show Senator Barkley ! in the lead. Chandler has made gains and the primary on August 6th may be a nip and tuck affair. t The steel mills, auto factories c and building supply houses are i< getting ready for increased buse iness this summer and fall. It bev gins to look like America is tired s of standing still and will again re- , sume its spirit of going ahead. , Slumps come and go in this country and the last one is evidently 1 on the way out. ________ I Sincere sympathy is felt for Foster Riddick, newspaper editor > of Columbia City, whose son | ( drowned in Swains Lake, near j s Jackson. Michigan, last Sunday. 1 11 The young man was 17 years of i ! age and Mr. Riddick’s only sou. ■ 1 We more or less sense the great i 8 sorrow that has been brought to I the Riddick home. 4 Local political campaigns will not get underway util about the I first of September, or later. The Democrat and Republican parties < expect to open their state cam- ( paigns following the French Lick and Washington meetings and the county and city openers will fol- 1 low. The election this year comes on November Sth. I Airplane stunt flying always did seem fool hardy to us and the re- ( cent tragedy over in South America, where 30 were killed and 150 injured when a wing of the plane struck the grandstand proves the < conviction. Birds can dart aroud. I but when you take a plane and do the dittoes, it's like trying to take > the curves in an auto at 70 miles an hour. New York and other eastern states have suffered from cloud bursts, which have ruined crops and caused great loss of property. In this section ot the country the weather has been ideal. We have been favored with frequent rains, the temperature has not been excessively warm and all together | most of us have been enjoying a wonderful summer. Economists, bankers and leading industrialists say that the country is on the up-turn and that big gains will be made during the next

six moths. They tiro optimistic over the out look and predict that by September, business will be in , high gear. This Is the Hist united . prediction made by authorities who watch business charts and signs | for better conditions and the coun- , try believes with them that from ; now on we will be going up grade. ) The new PWA program is mak- j Ing rapid strides. The federal | government has already approved i 3,162 projects, totaling $883,470,068,1 or at the rate of $36,562,680 daily. , The realeasing of the money is ■ stimulating business throughout . the country and employment fori thousands of men is created. Many communities are taking advantage | of the government grants and ap-1 plications are still pouring in to . the PWA office. Among the new applications on file is the one of i the nurses home in this city. W. Lee O'Daniel, a newcomer in I hut with a campaign of j his own. was nominated for gover-1 nor of Texas on the Democrat j ticket in Saturday's primary. A ; flour broker, O’Daniel, started out ' with a hill-billy band and coined I the slogan. "Pass the biscuits pappy.” Two weeks ago it looked ; as if he had the lead position, but ' winning a majority in the primary . was not expected, which he did. . He campaigned for old age pen-i sions, said the Ten Commandments | were his platform and with his music and personality, made one; of the most unusual political races , in Texas hisotry. The Democratic j nomination in Texas is tantamout | to election and in the governors chair, O'Daniel will no doubt keep | his state in the public eye. No doubt the Fort Wayne Jour-1 nal-Gazette is receiving hundreds' of compliments and congratula- , tions on the issuing of its < sth anniversary edition Sunday. It is a worthy edition in keeping with the high stadard of this leading Northern Indiana daily, chuck full; of interesting history and histor-. ical events of the past three-quart-ers of a century. The 120 pages were devoted to a resume of local.) state and national happenings of the century and clearly depicted the rapid growth of Fort Wayne from 1863 to the present time. I From a town of 12.000. our neighboring city has grown through the decades and is now credited with a population of 130,000. The Journal-' Gazette did itself proud in presenting the story and demonstrated again that Fort Wayne is a good town, because it has good news-. papers, devoted to public service i and community building Ideals. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦ 1.

J Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee ] Stretching of shoulder straps on ' rayon slips, due to the weight of the material, may be avoided by sewing a piece of straight tape the i full length of the strap on the in-’ 1 side. You will find that rayon strape will outwear several sets of ribon straps. Ironing Hint It is not good practice to pile 1 table napkins and handkerchiefs on top of each other alter ironing. Spread them out on a piece of brown paper, or clean towel, and let them dry thoroughly before stacking them. This will cause them to look very much better and stay fresh longer.

MINERS APPEAL PRISON TERMS Court Takes Under Advisement Appeal Os Sentenced Miners Chicago, July 26— <U.R> —The V. S. circuit court of appeals had under advisement today an appeal I filed by 34 miners, members and , former members of the Progress-, ive Miners of America, who were I sentenced to prison Dec. 6 for bombings in the central Illinois coal mine war. The violence occurred from 1932 to 1936 after approximately 30,000 miners had seceded from John L. ! Lewis' United Mine Workers of' America and organized the P. M.;' 'A. The defendants were tried in i the federal court at Springfield, 111., on an indictment which charg- j ed conspiracy to obstruct the U. | S. mails, because railroads had | been bombed, and to obstruct jusj tice. Each was sentenced to serve) four years in prison and pay a ?20,000 fine. Their appeal, filed late yester-j day hy attorneys George L. Haight and Benjamin F. Goldstein, charged that Lewis and the Peabody, Coal company had conspired to i i wreck the P. M. A., and also that) i the court had erred in several in-, , stances. The brief denied that the con-] I victed men were responsible for | I the reign of terror in the mine. fields and instead blamed the coal. company and Lewis for the bomb- 1 ings and other violence which oc-1

curved during the war. The trouble between the unions) began, the appeal said, after Lewis had executed a contract calling: for a wage cut with the Peabody 1 company. Some of the United Mine workers refused to accept the contract and withdrew to organize P. M. A. The appeal said the company then refused to hire miners not affiliated with the U. M. W. A. In the resulting warfare, more) than 50 persons were slain andp millions of dollars property dam- j age caused by bombings. i o Evansville No-Death Record Is Shattered Evansville, Ind., July 26.—<U.R> — Funeral services were being ar-) < ranged today tor S.
