Phrough newspaper advertising can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Concerted action may be necessary to combat the invasion of the grasshoppers. The pestfc are doing some damage to the crons in the country, but the redeeming feature is that when they become so thick and have eaten the crops they also destroy themselves. Before the swimming pool is closed for the summer the children will be treated to a water carnival. Supervisor Feasel and George Laurent, director of the federal recreational program, assisted by others, are planning a gala time for Thursday, August 25 at the pool. There will be contests and a lot of fun for all. The public is invited. Tragedy is no respecter of time or money. The young Dodge heir, enjoying a vacation in the Canadian northland country was drowned as he fell from his boat while being taken to a doctor to be treated tor wounds received when a stick of dynamite exploded. He was heir to millions of dollars through the estate of his father, John Dodge, one of the pioneer and very successful auto manufacturers. Meshberger Brothers Stone company of Linn Grove has been awarded the contract for the improvement of the ten-mile stretch of road between the Wells county line and Geneva. The stone will be furnished from their quarry and the job will provide employment there and at the road site. The road is classified as a secondary highway, furnishing an outlet between the two points and serving a number of farmers in that district. Another achievement in local city government is the announcement that the civil city's tax levy will not be increased, despite additional appropriations for street and park materials and the schoolaid bonds. By using part of the cash surplus in the general fund, the credits of gasoline and excise taxes and increased donations from the Electric and water departments, the increases were met. The budget is balanced and the city's condition is sound and strong. PRAISE FROM PHILIPPINES: In Manila and elsewhere in the Philippines, it has long been customary for Americans to observe each anniversary of American occupation of the islands. Heretofore a majority of the Filipinos have invariably remained sternly aloof, as if to say: "There's no reason for us to celebrate. We didn't want you to come here in the first place." This year the story was decidedly different. Filipinos joined Americans in what High Commissioner Paul Vories McNutt described as “one of the most impressive celebrations of any kind that I have seen any where. Nor was there anything syn-

thetic about the attitude of the natives. Their sincerity. Commissioner McNutt declared, "was so marked that the response on the part of Americans here and at home will be In full measure. t "It is not often that we see expressions of gratitude in this 1 world, and when they come slnt cerely they are heart-warming. It is a very grand thing to do." , . The High Commissioner did not ) say so, but probably no other > single individual has done more I than himself to cement the good i > fellowship and mutual esteem now | * existing between the people of the * United States and the Philippine Islands. Indiana’s former governor is doing a spledid job in Manila. The | attitude toward us is indicative of ■ that. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. COLLEGE PREPARATIONS: This is the season when thousands of high school graduates are preparing to enter universities, colleges and “prep" schools throughout the country. The prospect of campus life usually offers the greatest thrill of an educational f career The experience will not; be disappointing, in most instances. Those who do not make a sue-1 cess of this educational opportunity probably would be better off in trade or at home. The number seeking enrollment in many higher educational itrsti I tutions is so large that faculty ‘ boards have been compelled to use more drastic measures in weeding out the less proficient. This process is especially essential in state universities. Neither taxpayers nor parents should be compelled. i to pay the sums necessary to keep a student enrolled when he demonstrates neither ability nor appreciation. There are some observers who; claim that merely rubbing up against college walls confers some j benefit on the individual. That is i too costly a process to encourage. I Those who do not exhibit reason- j able proficiency should be eliminated The old law of the survival of the fittest will be invoked to , restrict the student body. The state and the endowed school are not required to retain the unfit. It is particularly essential, there-; fore, that the freshmen adjust I themselves rapidly to new educational conditions. Many may have J failed to develop self-initiative in high school, due to coddling of i teachers and lack of opportunities} to plan their own study. Some; students may go astray in college ' because there is none to issue directions governing use of time. The worst college problem, of | course, is the student who sees nothing but the opportunity for a four-year lark. It is that type} which usually disappears after the! first semester, due to unsatisfac- : I tory scholarship. Some, however, | manage to “get by'" the profess-' ors through a combination of snap courses atid mental agility. Many preparing to enter fresh-i man classes have gained the wrong perspective toward fraternity life, j They exaggerate the importance i of being invited to affiliate with the Greek letter organizations.; Failure to be pledged, in their eyes, means the virtual collapse j of collegiate hopes. Girls particularly are prone to assume that life has been blighted if sororities overlook them. Those who are fortunate enough } to be sought by several organizations should not let their judgment J be upset by high-pressure methods I of the rush committee. On the choice depends the closest asso-I, ciations of four years. It is tool important to be made hastily. | Lit tig concern need be felt for 1 those who are eager to seize the I educational opportunities offered. They will succeed in most in-I stances and reflect credit on the institution. —Indianapolis Star. o e — • i TODAY'S COMMON ERROR | I Interesting is pronounced in • I | ter-est-ing; not in'-tres-ting. |
