Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. What's wrong with the Duchess of Windsor? She has posed for two different pictures wearing the same dress. After a hot summer day, there is nothing as refrshing and enjoyable as a cool breeze which follows a shower. For taut nerves, nothing beats the combination. Japan must find itself with a real war on its hands. Russia is not giving an inch and someone of the Nipponese government will have to bend a knee or the Japs will be driven out of China. Young J. Pierpont Morgan 111, is not planning to go back to the farm this summer, following his operation. He should return to Long Island and tell the folks out there about the Indiana corn fields, the joys of living in the old Hoosier state, and the hospitality of the people. Terre Haute lost one of its leading citizens in the sudden death of Richard A. Werneke. He was favorably known throughout the state and had a wide acquaintance in Democratic circles. Each convention or gathering of Democrats saw the jovial personality of “Dick” Werneke and his host of friends are grieved over his sudden passing. All of us who write even for newspapers —for a living, understand just how- William Feather felt when he wrote this: ‘‘To generate ideas, and form words into understandable paragraphs that will convey just the meaning to a circle of readers, is a kind of pleasurable torture. Once the composition is finished, and passed to the printer, the re-reading of it by the author is a pain in the neck." The county tax adjustment boards will convene September 12, this year, for the purpose of reviewing the budgets and fixing the levies payable next year. Under the law the board must fix the rates and their work must be completed by October 1. Flans are being made for the convening of the Adams County board and due consideration will be given to this important public service by those who comprise the body. Long before the slogan, ‘‘Say it with flowers,” became popular, foremen in oldtime composing rooms had learned how "to say it with light.” Henry John Mintrup, one of the. Chicago Tribune’s old compositors, say that if in the old r. mon Gr-.f u.-> Kn rl •» rwrxrxf IVv•> 5 *• muaa Mwu <* «>«■■■■■> the foreman felt he had to fire him. he simply turned out the light over the man's case. That meant "Put on your coat and go home.” There was no argument about it.—Linotype Lines. Young Corrigan better pick off a few of the attractive offers now being made to him. He will find

that a hank account is not a bad thing to have and that popularity does not always last. There wouldn't be anything wrong with accepting the cash offers and buying a paid-up insurance policy or t investing the proceeds in bonds or other good securities, for the day ’ may come when finances may be t the determining factor in bis career. I ’ Both parties have a real prli mary fight in Ohio. The gover- ' nor's race on the Democrat ticket ' is featured with the race between i Governor Davey and Charles 1 Sawyer, while on the Republican ticket, Robert A. Taft, son of the former president and Supreme Court Justice Arthur M. Day are battling for the senatorial nomination. The results will be known tonight. The primaries are about as hot as the season of weather in which they are held. The Dionne quintuplets have a slight throat infection and consequently they will not be exposed to the visits of the hundreds of people who each week flock to Callander to see the world s most famous girls. They are not seriously ill, but Dr. Dafoe has advised against the children playing outside for several days. The world takes a keen interest in these children and humanity as a whole hopes the family circle is not broke with an untimely death. Proposals from contractors for the addition and remodeling of the Pleasant Mills school building in St. Mary's township will be received by the trustees on August 29. The PWA has already tendered a grant toward the construction of the building and the balance of the cost will be financed by the township. Completion of the improvement will give the township a modern and commodious school | and work will get underway as soon as the contracts can be awarded. — Don't envy the person who is I fortunate enough to take a trip to j Europe. Over there, we are toid, the hotels and trains do not compare in convenience and luxury with those of America. They don't serve ice water over there and so far we haven't heard of anyone being able to buy a chocolate soda or frigie bar. The scenery couldn't : be any more beautiful than that) found in a dozen states in this. country and besides think what a' heck of a job it is to make the , other fellow understand our lan-1 guage. See America first and en-! joy it. Senator Alben Barkley, majority leader in the upper house of Congress was the victor in the -Kentucky primary. A record vote was cast and Barkley received a plurality of more than 50,000. Governor Chandler made a real fight for the nomination and both candidates made the air blue with charges and countercharges. Chandler is , not to be discounted as an execu-. live and campaigner, but he was. up against great odds. Kentucky is Democratic. It could not afford to turn down its most illustrious son. He holds the highest position in the senate and with his seniorority privileges snd experience, Kentuckians no doubt figured that he was the man for them. It wasn't that they didn't like Chand-! ler. They couldn't vote for both, i = WEED-CUTTING LAW: The recommendation of Todd I Stoops, secretary-manager of the 1 Hoosier Motor Club, that weed, cutting along rural highways by July 1 should be made mandatory is based on sound safety factors. Legislation at th» next session of the General Assembly is urged to ■ amend the present law. which per- : mits a period between June 15' and Sept. 1 for this work. Mr. Stoops pointed out that the law covering weeds along high- j ways was enacted in 1915. That ' was before the era of the highspeed automobile and prior to the , 1 phenomenal increase in the num-j

her of cars driving over the state's ( roads. Paving of such roads scarcely had begun, so that the low speed reduced the menace of the weeds. A general weed-cutting provision ' would promote safety by removing growths that occasionally obstruct ( the view on approaching road intersections. The law should be changed and its new provisions i strictly enforced. < The state also should adopt a more vigorous weed-cutting program as a means of reducing the ; suffering of hay fever victims.' That illness is sufficiently prevalent to justify every reasonable measure in behalf of Hoosier vic- ( tims. Ragweed is ths chief offendI er. It should be the object of a ' . statewide eradication program. Other states are taking steps to I cope with an ailment that causes : much suffering and impairs the econmic efficiency of thousands. I Indiana should take a progressive attitude in reducing the seasonal visitation.—lndianapolis Star.
