Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every-1 where, at any and all times. Main street seemed a little quietl this morning, but even at that it | wasn’t safe tor jay-walkers. The only fellows we re the least | hit jealous of are those who waited > until this week to take their vaea-. tion. Now that Corrigan is back home, his pilot license has been restored and he can fly any time he lias the hunch to travel in the right or wrong direction. The city street and highway departments did an excellent job in cleaning and clearing the streets for Sunday traffic. Their services are appreciated by the public. If you have a few extra dollars. i start a buying spree. Your purchases will encourage the merchant, provide employment and you'll be helping yourself, for there will be more money in circulation. The nutrition conference sponsored by the Central Soya company of this city was the first of | its kind ever held in the country. It attracted nearly 250 veterinarians from Indiana. Ohio and Michigan and compliments on the talks and demost rations given on soybeans as the basis for livestock food were numerous and sincere. All of the city streets are open j to traffic. The Winchester street | and Mercer avenue improvements l were completed before fair week and all barriers have been removed. Take a drive this evening over the fine stretches of road through the town and you'll see that the improvement was worth, all the inconvenience it might have caused. There's something wrong in Owosso. Michigan, a town of 11.000 population. A mysterious malady has struck the place and six persons have died. Frantic efforts are being made to determine the cause, but so far medical author-I ities have been unable to identify the bacterial infection. Such a condition is almost unbelievable in this day of science and research. If the Maytag plant could resume regular schedules it wouldn’t be long until other factories in the country would reflect increased business for the products furnished the washing machine company. When the wheels of industry stop, it not only curtails production within its own walls, but affects other industries. The job in this country is keeping the wheels going. County Agent Archbold beamed all over with appreciation as he expressed satisfaction with the agricultural and livestock shows.! The attendance at the shows and the 4-H club exhibit was the largest of any fair and interest ran high. The county agent is an ardent booster for rural-urban relations and through the fair the

medium is offered to carry out and sponsor programs which develop a line feeling among the people. Golf now cornea In for Its heroes and new stunts. To win a bet of 32,500 and a half interest in a Virginia plantation, a Chicago man played Hi holes in 15 hours time. He has the record for endurance and shooting a good game, his highest score being 90. The publicity will no doubt help him for we Americans like to make idols out of those who think ot ways of doing something unusual. Walking: a third that many miles in cutting a lawn would be a hardship. POLITICS AS A CAREER: A discussion of politics as a career for young men, written by Meredith Nicholson, distinguished author and now United States niin-j ister to Nicaragua, should be read I with keen interest by all Hoosiers, I It appears in the current issue of ' the Rotarian, official publication of Rotary International. Mr. Nicholson could not he a Hoosier without taking a lively interest in political affairs and his, l standing in the home state provided an admirable seat on the i • partisan sidelines from which to j witness details of many political struggles. It is his conclusion that ! the multiplication of the functions of government provide new opportunities for those skilled in the I science of administration. The author naturally views the | field of political service from thel career man's outlook, in which I ability and training combine to prepare the individual for effective work in public office. The diplo- ■ mat is not concerned with thei party henchman who gets a job as payment for political activity.! regardless of qualifications for the particular post. It is that policy! which has impaired the prestige of officeholders, handicapped those who might have the desire to ren- | der real service and pyramided the costs of all governmental units. Mr. Nicholson begins by citing the customary arguments against; politics as a career. He mentions the common idea that it is a vulgar business in which merit and efficiency are frowned on by grafters. a game of mud slinging in which f<w gentlemen could participate. Luck in holding office is un- j certain, according to that viewpoint. while long tenure results in loss of character, impairment for I other activities and endless public | ! criticism. The writer asserts that a wouldI be career man in politics need not i advertise himself as a reformer in I order to improve conditions exist-1 ing in the average governmental , unit. Patience and tact, coupled with a thorough understanding of weaknesses and the means of eliminating them, will accomplish : the desired results. Mr. Nicholson insists. The broadest educational , preparation is essential to success I in politics, he maintains. He said: ' "The functions of government i have so multiplied in recent years ! that the scientist's special knowledge is absolutely essential to the perfect handling of the tremendous ' I enterprises that now are a part of our government's mechanism. A congressman who is able to study I the specifications of a dam, a highway or a scheme for flood prevention from an engineer's standpoint l is a more valuable representative . than one who languidly votes for ' the appropriation. The scale of things is so vast that we must! have a planned scientific adminis- ’ tration if projects are to be done . efficiently and economically." Patience, tolerance and person- j ality are the three major essentials ! to a successful political career as- j ter the chief factor of ability, ac- j cording to the Hoosier author. ( Age is a minor detail, he argues, ’ citing the eminent achievements' I of colonial leaders while they were ! (still in the 20s. He closes with this advice: “Do not be deterred by the lulling voices of the lotus eaters who tell you to take your • ease and let the other fellow do 1 it. The next decade is certain to
