Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. For a bixarre performance the death leap of the New York man took the prize. It seems that a hillbilly band Influences more people than Dale Carnegie s formula. See the parade, the free acts, the livestock and 4-H shows, join your friends at the fair. The town is gaily decorated for the street fair and agricultural show. Your attendance and good weather will make it a success. Van Wert county matches the Civil War veteran's roster in Ad ams county, the Ohio community having only two survivors of the heroes of '65. A death a few days ago removed the third veteran. A granddaughter of Andrew Carnegie and heiress to his milloins. has married an Edinburgh, Scotland lawyer, of moderate financial circumstances. The country hopes her marriage will bring her more happiness than the marital ventures did for Barbara Hutton. To help business and employment, the RFC, one of the government's largest lending agencies will follow the policy of making loans for public works, leaving the PWA free to make outright grants. The plan will make many millions of dollars available for projects and every indication is that it will have a helpful effect on business. With the repeal of the windshield registration law, it will not be so easy to detect the auto owner's name, a handicap more or less in police work. The law had some merit, but it evidently peeved the people to stick the registration tag on the windshield and following public sentiment, the legislature killed it. You can remove the tag now or let it alone. Roger Babson, business economist, predicts a sharp increase in business throughout the country for the balance of the year. He says that retail sales have already shown a decided spurt and that the remaining five months of the year will bring increased business and employment. Mr. Babson also advises, "this is the time to get started. Do not wait until after Labor Day and miss five full weeks of real activity. Plan your advertising campaigns now ” Elwood put on a big show for its sccod annual tomato festival. Newspaper articles state that 45,000 people attended. Among the distinguished guests was Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania, director general of the Loyal Order of Moose, who made the principal talk at the out door program. Senator Davis is a former resident of Elwood. That city has gained almost national recognition through its tomato day festival and as far as known it is the only event of its kind in the country. The

squashy tomato must be glorified and Elwood does it. One of Indiana's leading citizens and one of the country's most prominent newspaper publishers was removed from an active career with the death of Warren C. Fairbanks, president and publisher of the Indianapolis News. Mr. Fairbanks died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 60 years old. He was one of five children of former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks. Unlike his father he did not aspire to public office, although his newspaper was a controlling influence in Republican politics in the middle west. He was a successful business man and his greatest glory lies in his personal direction and management of the newspaper, owned by his family for many years. He j was a power in the inner circles of his party and refused many times to become a candidate for high office. Two factors justify the decision of legislators to authorize eddition of auditoriums at Indiana and Purdue universities to the state's institutional building program. The | need for an adequate assembly | hall at each university is apparent. No facilities exist for meetings of all the students, either to hear outstanding speakers or programs or to permit faculty contacts in matters pertaining to university interests. It is unlikely that either university for many years would receive sufficient appropriations from the legislature to build an auditorium. Great as the need may be, other more pressing de- ] mands for classroom space, equip- j ment and faculty additions would drain availabue funds. The proffer I of a PWA grant covering 45 per cent of the cost present's an oppor- ■ tunity, therefore, which should not i be neglected.—lndianapolis Star. WEALTH OF RURAL INDIANA: Our state is suffering from the t national depression, no doubt, along with other sections of thei country, but our income is steady and we have surplus savings to; invest even in the had years. This fact is proved indubitably by reports from the Secretary of Treasury on the sales of baby bonds through the second and third-class post offices in the state. Even ■ down in the hiM country in the southern section there seems to be a steady accumulation of in-' vestment capital. Corydon, for instance, ranks: fourth among the second-class post offices, the U. S. savings bond , sales last year reaching a total of $62,775 to patrons of the local post office. At English, which is third among the third-class post offices, the sales reached a total of $42.018.75 for the year. Lebanon was in first place among Indiana sec-ond-class post offices, Columbia City second and Batesville third | in sales of baby bonds in the state for the period covered in the lat- I est report. Total sales in Indiana ! up to January 1, 1938. amounted' to $47,330,550. Approximately 16.000 post offices | in the United States are authorized to sell these United States Savings Bonds directly to their patrons. The SIOO bond is said to be the favorite. You pay $75 for it and in ten years it is wogth, SIOO. but may be cashed in at any ' time at proportionate value. The' interest rate is not high, but the value increases one-third in ten years, the investment is safe aud the money is always available in case of emergency. At any rate, it is good to know from the treasury reports that there is money in the old Hoosier sock, even in hard times, with something extra to add to the savings account every year. — The Farmer's Guide.
