The attractions will be high class and every effort made to keep it clean and wboieoome. According to the latest Gallup poll Jack Garner is more populat than Taft or Vandenburg but is slightly behind Dewey. It's a lot of propaganda that really docen t mean much »n«u you are guess mg on the outcome of the I»4<> I smpaign. More than two hundred ixsuple were proetrated in Washington Wednesday as the crowd milled to catch a glimpse at the parade of royalty. One man diod and many are in serious condition, which Is a part of the price we pay when great througs gather on a hot day. The Van Wen Ttmes-BuUetiu published a fourteen page Peony Festival section Wednesday that was attractive and alive as any we have seen in a long time. The picture of Miss Bette Joan Jones. Queen Jubilee Vlll. covered the entire front page and the *-dJtion was tilled with special displayi-. High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt will arrive in Indianapolis from the Philippines about the 39th of thia mouth and plans to give him a reception worth the event are now being mad* Those who have an idea he len t a popular hgure tn the Hoosier state will change their mind when they attend this happy event. Just wbeu the Briggs strike Was settled in Detroit and it looked like we might be getting some where oflkiala of the Lnited Automobile I’nion call a strike at the Fisher Body Works. These strikes may be ne< easary to establish the unions but they are certainly not beueOctal to proaperity or tha general good of the country. The Decatur high school band was one of the must attractive at, the Van Wert festival and the boy* and girls were cheered all along the line. Albert Sellemcyer has completed a wonderful organisation of its kind in thia bund and deserves much credit. Wherever they appear they attract attention be< ause of the merit of their music and the appearance of its mem bora. Peter Grant, renowned boradcaater. certainly gave Vku Wert a lot ’•f good publicity as be announced the Peony Festival Wednesday. His estimate of the crowd at 100.000 was probably a little high but no one who was there will deny lhal II wasn't tapacily. Il was a big show, though most of the crowd gave more attention to the parade and the attractions than to the beauitul gardens.

She probably doesn't feel the grave responsibility that the king does and she is enjoying every thrill to the limit. Needless to say the ’• king and queen have won a warm place tn the hearts of Americans I by their visit and by the splendid t attitude- they are taking. t Crime Is on the decrease in Ind-, lana and the average criminal is I an older man than he was a few D years ago. acordtng to a recent | J study of the Indiana Department I } of Public Welfare. This is directly i contrary to the commonly public is * rd view that our youth is turning ) to crime In increasing numbers and that we must greatly enlarge our educational and recreational facil- , Hies for "taking care" of youth to , prevent their final complete degun-' eratlon. The total Internal revenue collectiuus m the district of Indiana, for • the first elevn mouths of the pres- ' ent fiscal year, which ends June , ' 30. 1939, were 81113,243,886.3*. as compared to 699.309.901 "9 during i the same period which ended May 31. 1939, a net increase of 61.933.- j 984 69.

It the rumors are true that Presi- ■ , I dent Roosevelt and Vice-President | I Garner are at sixes and sevens on i | many governmental problems and , | that the differences of opinion have 1 ■ reached the place where they will ' ( | lead factious of the party, it to a , {bad sigu and those who believe • | in a free democrat y and in most of ‘ ( the movements of the adminlstra-!

Each day and particularly each week end, scores of our people go elsewhere ‘ , t« Play Rolf. with one of the finest ( courses, when in condition, lying right at our door. It would seem I that a little leadership and effort would make this a delightful spot i that we could all be proud of. Let's make the annual tree street fair and agricultural show a good i j ous. These events can be helpful Ito merchants and to the commute ( . Hy when and If properly organised and conducted. That requires co | operation. We believe It would | prove helpful if the various stores , would invite customers into their stores and offer special bargains t I for the week. If they don l buy they may see what they want and return later Maybe a small down tmymeut plan would prove a buy-, ( Ing stimulant. We are not offer-, , Ing that particularly us a surges- ( Hon but to encourage our mer- , chants and the people In general , io take a greater interest in tbs fair. I We come now to the recent story headlined "Garner to Run Even If F. D. R. Seeks Third Term." and Intimating that the doughty Texan might bolt to the Republicans if things do not go to suit him. I know nothing of the source of thia t tale, bttt I think I do know Jack , Garner, and he Is as likely to bolt bls party a* he is to go skirt dan- . •Ing for the movies. Moreover. I t have no doubt that he subscribes f to the view/of every other candid- ( ate, that a nomination next year. , lacking the President s indorses tnent, would be about as valuable j • season ticket to last year's World Series. — By Charles Mich etoou. t * ° ——— s TODAY’S COMMON ERROR | l I Do not »ay.

“I brought Marie bark from L.I A..” Eddie said. He didn't look wry well. And no wonder, after dnviag all night. She stole another look at the girl. A girl that drive* up from Loe Angeles with three boys?* “Was it a pleasant trip? Did you have a nice time, son?" 1 "Oh, wonderfull Just wonderful! ( In fset it w *a to wonderful that I—- , that Marie and I—" “Well, I’m sure you must be tired. And Miss—Miss - also. Would you i like to wash?" Mrs. Wilson broke in, beginning to catch the prevailing nervousness. “No. thank you," the girl said. She looked appealingly at Eddie, i She was probably waiting for him to drive her home, and it waa just I like hun to sit at his ease and take his time. “Because if you want to get on home, and I suppose you're as tired as Eddie ia, why he may as well , drive you now, and then rest later. Th* car’s in the garage. Eddie and you ran get two gallons of g**, that ought to b* enough unless you have far to go. You ilon't live out of Oakland, do you. Miss—Miss—?" The girl was really very pale. Mr*. Wilson'• heart softened towardh her. Quit* likely sb* waa I Plesa’ girl, and Eddie was just tak- , ing her home for him. i "Now, Eddie," she said briskly. ( "you run around and get the ear, and 111 taka care of Mtsa-er—what did you say the name was?" "Alngnader," th* girl said automatiCAliy. i “Yoe, Misa Alexander, I'tn going i to fix you up a dose of soda I know when 1 rid* a long way I always get a bilious headache myself, and there* nothing like baking suda to—" “Mum." Eddie said. She stopped. There was something in Eddie's face. Something had happened. "Mom. keep quiet a minute, please, and let me explain. My gush. Mom, don’t you SEE? I brought Marie back with me. Marie Theresc Alexander—you remember? Th* rirl I—l knew in Hollywood. She— MOM—we're married!" Th* concern faded from Mrs. Wilson's fee*, and for a moment the company smile came back. “Yom—l don't quite understand —" she began. Edward said he was married. He'd married this girl Her Edward. ... “Oh, Mom. say you're glad! Think of how Marie feels!" _ "I hope you don't mind very much, Mrs. Wilson. We—it—was all very *ud<kM>*** “Sudden, "Mrs. Wilson said. “Sudden." She sat down heavily. Eddie went to her and put both arm* around her. He chucked her under the chin. He we* up to his , old tricks. “Now, Mom. show Mari" what a swell sport you are. Tell her you're glad!" Glad! Mrs. Wilson looked at this strange girl who had married her youngeec child. Her Eddie. Her Eddie whom she'd nursed through double pneumonia and chickenpox and whooping rough and measles. Her baby. The one that people said she'd never raise, because he had jaundice right after be was born. She'd always loved Eddie best. 1 though nobody would ever guess it, because she wouldn't let herself be 1 unfair. But she'd always favored i Eddie, just aa Claude had always favored Bee. She couldn’t help iL i And now he— Eddie was talking again. He waa rattling off some nonsense about i falling in love, and not being able i to leave the girl, and wanting to bring her home to his own wonder- , fui mother. Poor boy. he was terribly upset. It was plain who had engineered sll thin. The girl wifH’d her ryen. At if k SHE had wthin< cry ab<w*- ' She. who bad just married Eddie ■ ' “Mom. hea good sport. Pull your-, I self together.
