Throuph newspaper advertising sou can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Welcome to all the fair visitors. Next comes the Indiana state fair, September 3 to 9th. This is about the first time that Kentucky water has been advertised freely. — - - ._2- i Will the country now have an epidemic of ledge sitters and leap for death stunts? All set for the opening gun at seven o'clock Monday evening when the annual street fair gets underway. As you enter the last month of summer, have you figured out how your Christmas savings fuud is coming along. Watch for the parades, see and hear the bands, visit the agricultural and livestock shows, leave a good time at the fair. The twins will be glorified and honored at the fair. The contest is creating a lot of interest and naturally we all think it is the! feature event of the week. The Chrysler motor plant at Newcastle is going to full time. That is an encouraging note and we hope the prosperity overspreads throughout the state. A Miami dentist got tired of waiting on his bill so when his lady patient came back to his office he yanked out part of her gold 1 fillings. She screamed of course and the police were called, but the woman went away without some of her teeth. Howard Hughes wants to take lunch in Kio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and a few other i places and is warming up his plane for another proposed flight. Hell probably get around before they have the dishes cleared away from the last course. Individuals are all alike. Whatever has the front page this becomes the current topic of con- • , i versation. We become mass conI scious. If we all talked better business, tried to stimulate sales, it would have its effect. As Babson says, "Now is the time to do ( it." The Chamber of Commerce di- ■ rectors, representing the community, have planned a well balanced program for the street fair and agricultural show. There will be plenty of entertainment, many interesting things and exhibits to see, all waiting for you, if you just come and enjoy it. A picture in the Indianapolis . Star shows Indiana-made machinery loaded and crated to be shipped to New Zealand. The fame of American industry is worldwide and the Hoosier state has some of the finest industrial plats in the nation. The slogan adopted by our

local Industry, "What Indiana | makes -Makua Indiana.' is true. | -t—-r Chicago is hoping to got enough federal funds to build its first subway system Application has been I filed with the PWA for a $14,328,ooti grant, toward a SI mlllion-dol-lar subway project hi the loop. The big city needs it and no doubt the details will be taken care of in a few months so that work can start uext year. It will furnish work for ten thousand men. Former Supreme Court Justice Cardozo was a man of fine mind ■ and big heart. With the filing of . his will it has been made public that he bequeathed 375,000 to his - housekeeper and $7,500 to another ' household servant. Justice Cardozo , was a bachelor and maltained a home in Washington. The rest of his estate is left to Columbia university for the establishing of a chair of jurisprudence to be named for him. More gross income tax money came back to Adams Comity than was paid in by taxpayers of this county. The distribution of the tax to the schools for teacher s salaries and to the civil units amounted to $122,306. The amount paid in was $92,205.46. Some of the money may come from the larger cities and even the smaller places where the largest volumne of business is transacted, but the . distribution helps the smaller units in defraying the teacher's bill, the state paying S7OO for each teaching unit. We have just read an interest- I ing article on the restoration of , Williamsburg, Virginia, home of. the royal governors, representing , | the crown of England in 1699. : Through the generosity of John ■ D. Rockefeller, Jr., the town and . buildings, including the governor s I i mansion and capitol building have i I been restored. Thousands of tourists visit Williamsburg and it is ‘ one place in the country which I' seems intriguing to us, because of 1 its historical background and now ( tor its architectural oeauty. It 1 1 would be a wonderful place to I 1 visit and have brought to your I mind's eye the scenes and sur-( ; roundings of two hundred years : • ago.
