The ott repeated question, “How do you like this warm weather,” was answered by a traveling salesman in the office with, “1 prefer it to the ice we have In the winter time.” The country does not want to return to “the good old days.” We like our improvements, our automobiles, good roads, parks, modern homes, talkies and the freedom they bring us too well to want to go hack to the coai oil lamp period. It will be disappointing to the Republican papers it Commissioner McNutt returns from the Philippines by Christinas. They won't be able to talk about that “palace” the government is building there and infer that McNutt is constructing it for himself. Governor Winship owes his life to tlie poor marksmanship of the wouid-be assassins who attempted to kill him. More than a dozen shots were fired at the Puerto Rico governor and all missed their mark. Their aim wasn't any more steady than the mind which prompted such destruction. The wonderful part of the special session of the legislature is that it is one legislative body that met and did not increase taxes, in fact it removed the auto gadget fee, resulting in a saving to auto owners, and the appropriations voted lor new buildings will not cost the taxpayers an extra penny. ■ Berne has filed a petition with the PWA for a grant of $49,000, towards the construction of a $109,000 school building in that place. For sometime sentiment in Berne has favored a new building and if the government grant is forthcoming, it is likely that a modern, new structure will replace the present one. When you park your car be sure that you take out the transmission keys. If you have valuables inside, lock the doors and close the windows. Regardless of the precautions taken and the patroling by police, thieves have away of tnaking way with autos. To be on the safe side it behooves you to lock your car when you park it. - John D. Rockefeller, Jr., returning from a trip abroad, expresses ■tj the opinion that every effort is being made to avert war in Europe. This is no doubt true in England and France, in view of the foreign policies adopted by these major powers. Mr. Rockefeller, who seldom comments about conditions, says the present stock market trend is hopeful. The road from the Wells county line, southeast to Geneva, will be Improved by the State highway

commission. Bids for the construction of the ten miles of pavement will be received by the commission on August 16. This road ( will form an important link in the highway system in the south part j of the county and will be of great convenience and utility to the *■ motorist. 1 O’Daniel's victory in Texas is significant that the people like “ entertainment, hill-billy bands, } Wise cracks and showmanship. 5 His slogan of "pappy puss the bls- ? cults” had more meaning than j ) taxes, Improvements and governI mental problems, as shown by the defeat of Maury Maverick, who was running for renoininatlon for congress. The expenditure of federal and , slate funds at this time should j supply new buying power, not for | those who are engaged in the actual construction, but for business. For every man placed at work in the new jobs, there will Ibe others employed in business, I in manufacture, In the quarries ! and in the steel plants. Are you ready for the street fair and agricultural show? The tents | for the livestock show are going i up and final arrangements arc being made for the opening of the exhibition Monday night. Visit the 4-11 club exhibits, the livestock shows and many interesting places along the midway. You’ll enjoy every minute of it if you let yourself get in the spirit of things.

The country is , j rearin’ to go and at the first sign j of revival, American business will j be there to keep up the pace. Tire dollar does not mean one ] dollar. It circulates and speeds ! on its way to give more employ- 1 meat. There is a need now of; more jobs in the industries and | businesses which have faltered in the last few months, from timidity, j The funds given by this legisla-, , ture will restore confidence. It will give more than confidence, , when it creates new purchasing power, widely distributed. For more than three weeks the . stock market has been rising, with i both volume of trade and prices reaching levels not seen since lust year. A rising market does not! necessarily mean prosperity right! i away but it does mean that a great; many people have confidence in j the prospects of sound business in the near future, because this has been no simple crowding out of shorts but buying securities for cash delivery. And confidence, like fear, is infectious. o 1 Answers To Test |j Questions | Below are the answers to the [ Teat Questions printed on Page Two ♦ 4 j 1. Key West. 2. General Meade. 3.
