I The toolball players are puffing ■ a little aa they work out these hot I days but it's a rule ot the game ■ that you have to take it as it comes, hot and cold, rata aud snow. | fair weather and bad. Guess that a the big lesson ot lite they learn. Paul V. McNutt is gaining rapidly in popular tavor over the country and the Gallop poll shows ! he has doubled in votes the past thirty days. He is still the best bet tor those who realise how be ! has advanced and what plans are being made by his supporters. Time marches on. A dairy farm 1 near Libertyville. Illinois, has hi-1 stalled a lond speaker-microphone I cow-calling system A farm hand croons "aoo-o-ey boas" into the | • mike," the amplifiers carry the i fields aud ths cattle come trudging in tor the hulking bee. The {novation may ruin the calllug contesta. Governor Townsend has issued a proclamation urging every Hoosier to support the President in his efforts to keep this nation neutral that war may be avoided, our nation prosper. our people made I happy and so «« will be in a posl- ' lion to aid the peole ot the world, wisely, when tbs great struggles I in Europe and .Yala are over. ■ Busineaa is improving and President Roosevelt is watching that no advantages are taken that will permit prices to advance to the' point where they make a few rich I aud the general public poorer. An 1 increased volume should help every one but there m no reason why exhorbitaut prices should be permitted to shorten the days of proa perlty. Once a boom starts along that line it is simply a question of how big we can blow the balloon because It s sure to burst. Kee| your feet ou the ground. This city la proud of her industries. recognised aa the beat to be found in any town under lo.uvo in the country and happy to meet their requirements as they can. With a varied line of manufactories and with plans being made for additions in the future, we can and will grow rapidly Durlug the past three years several hundred new homes have been built here and still there are no vacant residences for rent. That proves a steady tncrease aud thia will continue for some years at least. We must I keep step, wisely, carefully but every day The contract baa been formally awarded for the construction of No. 27 by pass through thia city, a four-mlle Improvement, to the .Mohr Construction Company of Kokomo, who agree to complete It by July Ist next. Work has started and will proceed through the winter aa is possible Blds for the construction of the bridge over •he St Mary's river will be retel ved October 3rd aud that work win also also be done during the same

period Cheeka for the payment of right-of-ways are now being passed out at the city clerk s ofBee and every detail preparatory • lo the new entrance to Decatur has apparently been legally taken care I of. Time marches on. 1 •■.. rhla nation wants to keep out I ot war and will du every thing possible to prevent our entrance. ■ which does not mean we have gone I aoft or that thia la a paclflst courtJtry or bloodless men. Wo will i maintain our rights on sea and » laud but we will not become inWived because of some incident that may be propaganda pure aud aitnple. If every <nie will keep cool, talk sensibly If at all. attend to bls owu business and talk peace rather tbau war, we will come through the world conflagration in such a manner aa to make us the outstanding nation of the world. Thai's our hope aud prayer aud to do It, the politician must show good judgment. The Democratic editors, their families and friends and hundreds of others interested in the politics |of the state, are gathering at . french Lick Springs today for the annual summer session ot the newspaper men. Always delightful and always of great interest land importance from a political I view point, this event promises to be one of the best ever held with I addresses by Governor Townsend Senator VauNuys. and Minton and .Paul V. McNutt, Indiana's candidate for the presidency. AdeleI gallon from this county will attend and representatives from | every county m the state will be (there Saturday evening when President George t'rittenberger. I calls the 2.000 banqueters to order . for the top program ot the twoday session.

With war in Europe, a tnll suc-d boom is on lu this country, with c-urlty and cnmmoditjr prices hitting new highs and speculation running rife. Theme who recall the start c»f the last World War in 1914 are unable to understand the present situation gg affecting tamtaaaa. The war started suddenly in August, 1914. but there was no great business stimulus until the war had been In progress for a year. As a matter of fact, just the opposite occurred as to what la happening now in August. 1914, th*- j wholesale price Index of the Bureau I of tmbor Statistics was 7o and It j hit 8 at the end of the year and 1 It took a solid year for the Index 1 to go above 7o As a matter of fact, the stock market was closed from July 30 to Dec. 12* and the feeling all along the line was bearish Instead of bullish It would seein reasonable to rapptMe that I hi 1914 with no nvcilrHlity | H w like we have now that business would have received a tremendous boost But that was not the case aud now with a neutrality law ws have a boctu It may be premature, although it is pointed out that in
