Be alive on July sth is a slogan that every one should try to follow. It means be careful at what* ever you do between now and then. We wonder bow the crops at the fairs this summer and autumn can show an improvement if each year crops get worse as some would have us believe. Thousands of Hoosiers are planning to go to Indianapolis Friday for the McNutt reception. There will be band*, features, delegations and a fine old time. The tree street fair and agricultural show in Decatur will be a dandy, according to present outlook, with displays, features and exhibits all better than ever. Plan to enjoy it with your friends. Specialists declare that Lou Gehrig's ailment is hardening of the spinal cord, rather than infantile paralysis. There is no cure but proper exercise and a lot of courage will help it is claimed and Columbia Lou will have both. There seems to be a little bootlegging going on in the tire cracker business, from the booms heard, which probably will be alright unless something happens. If a serious accident should occur, some one might get into rather serious difficulties. The 24.U00 acres of forest in Indiana has been increased to <1.600 acres the past five years which is a pretty good start towards replacing the trees. A federal survey however shows that three million acres should be so utilised so there is still much to be done. A dozen cars are needed to take the band and boosters to Indianapolls Friday tor the McNutt reception. Cars from Monroe. Berne. Geneva and other parts of the county will join in and Adams county will make a good showing. If you have room in your car, call J. L. Ehler, chairman. Those who devote their lime iu "getting even" with some one arc losing that much effort towards themselves. Life is 100 short to hold enmities and to scowl and ' ondetn if we help each other, if wo try to make some one happy, that person feels better and usually the one who doos It does 100.

The 5 prevention It Is claimed is better J I lighting of the rural highways. Os course that's expensive but in many localities they are figuring that the saving of Ilves Is worth any cost. Sixty per cent of those* killed in automobile accidents last year, met death at night, it'a another subject worth serious consideration. The one and only vote cast against the revenue bill iu the House was that of Congressman I 1 Tinkhani of Massachusetts, who I has been in Congress tor years and I years and keeps on coming back. I ' The strange thing about It is that I Congressman Tinkbam. an aristo-l crat of the Old Bay state, was op-1 1 posed to the bill because Os the I nuisance taxes. This tax hits the I I big and little fellows alike and I Tinkham's Idea was to save the I little fellow some money and let I those more able to pay do so. It I sounds rather peculiar coming from I a rich man like Tinkham. but this I probably explains his long stay iu I Congress. — New Castle Courier-1 Times.
