He should have been there to give advice how he combatted the depression. Secretary Hull does not intend to let Mexico get away with the lands taken from American owners. He has demanded payment and a policy guaranteeing against future seizures. Other nations will back the American government in this stand and no doubt settlement will be made along the lines out-. lined by Mr. Hull. The credit of local taxing units is good. Bonds offered for sale by j St. Marys township for the building of proposed school addition, sold for two and a quarter per ' cent, besides bringing a premium.! Even during the depression, no i bonds were defaulted in this county, a fact which banks and secur-, ity houses take into consideration when purchasing the issues. Worthman field will be lighted with a more modern type of lighting system for the football games ' this fall. Large 90 foot towers will be erected on the south border ofl the field and additional flood lights will brighten the area for playing. Several home games are scheduled and the night events ■ have proved very popular with the ' people here. You can keep young : by joining the crowd and watching . the boys play. Homer Stonebi eager s populari ity in the Second district Is plac-l ing him in a position to be elect- . ed to congress. The second is the i only Republican district in the state, now represented by Abe Hallick. Stonebreaker is well known in the district and indications are he will be right up to the ■ line by the time of Election.* Ind . iana should send an entire Demo-! eratic delegation to congress. It s not the time to change. The first water carnival at the ! city swimming pool proved a most popular event. Nearly a thousand . 1 persons watched the different; acts and enjoyed them immensely., Gatherings of this kind make up a wholesome community life. People . like to be entertained. Parents like to see their children perform and facilities for holding similar events ‘ should be expanded and programs enlarged. Marion Feasel, supervisor of the pool was in charge of Thursday's sport card and receiv- i ed compliments from the crowd for staging a successful and enjoyable program. Southern Indiana has the spotlight this week-end. The Democrat-. 1c editors are at French Lick, I which gathering also attracts the United States Senators, Governor Townsend and other istate officials. Al Washington, in Davies county, the Republicans are guests ■ of Mr. Capehart at his farm. On '

I such a fine August day it would be difficult to convince an audience, I even from a political platform, | that there was anything seriously wrong with Indiana or its people. | The Democrats have the beat of i the argument. They wish to carry out their program or help to the | people, can give a good account -of their stewartship and have dentI oustrated they can do it. FARMER'S INCOME The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates that farmers’ 5 cash income this year would be $7,500,000,000, or 12.7 per cent less than last year's, and the smallest amount since 1935. The estimate ’ was based on sale of farm products I and government benefit payments. Last year's cash income was reported at $8,000,000,000, or the largest since 1930. The cash income for the first seven months J of this year was $3,985,000,000, or 13 per cent less than for the Janj uary,July period last year, the bureau said. It. forecast the gross income — i which includes the cash income and the value of products consum(ed on the farm — would total SB,i 750.000,000 this year. It was $lO,-' ' 003,000,000 last year and $9,317,- | 000,000 in 1936. Dr. A. G. Black, chief of the bureau, attributed the smaller inI come this year "largely to the I marked decline in industrial activi ity during the last year, and to| the lower level of the income of: urban consumers, which has great- i ly reduced the demand for farm, products." In making the estimate iu the I bureau took into account prospects for a "moderate” improvement in i industrial activity aud consumer J I buying power during the remaind- ! er of this year. Producers expected to feel the greatest reduction in incomes were I I those growing wheat, cotton, fruits i I and vegetables. Government benefit payments I this year probably would be from 33 to 50 percent greater than the , $367,000,000 paid out last year, the bureau said. — Lafayette Journal | ; Courier. NATURE'S CHANGING MOODS The story of tragedy in the White mountains of New Hampshire emphasized the hazards ’ which occasionally lurk in that ideal vacation land. The risk, of course, involves only one in hundreds touring that region. The majority view the peaks from tourist highways or other vantage points that command the famous Presidential range. Few mountains look more Innocent and peaceful in the balmy summer sun, with occasional cloud patches decorating the summits of Mts. Washington. Adams, Jetferson and others. A climb up the foot trails seems to require noth-1 ing but a reasonable degree of en- j durance. The visitor may feel stir-1 prise at warnings posted at the I start of these routes and in the I regional literature urging climbers ' to carry heavy sweaters and enter-1 gency food. Such precautions seem | needless when one views the stnil-I ing slopes. That the warnings should be carefully observed was demonstrated by the death of one hiker and the narrow escape of two companions while crossing the Presidential range. An icy gale swept I the mountain and trapped the trio , at an elevation of only 4,000 feet. ‘ i The victim collapsed during the 1 sleet storm, while the other barely were able to reach a hut on the slopes of Mt. Adams. Visitors unacquainted with the moods of mountainous country of-1 ten do not realize how swiftly a i stonn may transform apparently; innocent aud inviting areas into. perils that trap the unwary. This I latest Incident should impress all j tourists with the need of observing warning signs of various types. Too many are prone to osuume that no real danger exists, whether iu mountain climbing or in can- . tion signs along highways. They '•were all erected as a measure of

McCormick's Creek state park. , located on Road 46 just east of ! Spencer, has grown steadily in popI ularity during recent years hoth as an all-year outing place and as I a site for group camp outings. Established in 1916 and now including an area of 662 acres, the j park has long been noted for its scenic beauty. McCormick's Creek, from which the park takes its name, flows through the area to unite with White River. The . stream flows through a deep canI yon whieb geologists say was once an undergrund cavern. Other 1 points of interest include the low falls, the Beech Woods, the Pine I Forest, the umnernus siub-bolea ■ common to the limestone region.
