FIX STANDARDS OF HIGHWAYS

Indianapolis, Ind., July I.—Uniform road construction is expected throughout Indiana as a result of an order issued today by the state highway commission requiring the standardization of road plans and specifications for county highways which are subject to the approval of the commission. The regulation is effective July 1 and covers all county road projects submitted to the commission for approval. The regulation is similar to the Federal order requiring the use of standardized plans and specifications by the state for all roads for which government aid is expected. The action of the commission extends the use of the approved standards to the roads .which will be built in Indiana under the provisions of the county unit road law, by which the state shares the cost. ' . t . Officials of the commission have compiled the standards for the Indiana roads, which are identical with the requirements made of the state by the Federal government. The standards proposed unddr the state highway law, the county unit road law and the free gravel road. The highway department officials expect much benefit to the roads of the state as a result of the new regulation. The use of the standardized plans will improve many roads connecting with the state highway system. Many counties Of the state already have adopted the commission standards voluntarily to keep their road construction up to the specifications prescribed by the Federal

FLAGRANT CASE OF SUGAR PROFITEERING

Chicago, June 30.—Shipments or betwe.en four million and five million pounds of sugar which are being received in Chicago by way of Canada, were billed to packers, canners and wholesalers at as low as 9 and 9% cefits a pound, federal investigators said today. The United States district attorney’s office said an investigation would be started to determine if evidences of profiteering existed. Wholesalers and other large users were generally reported to be paying 26 and 26% cents for sugar, with the retail a price hovenng around 30 cents.’

CONTAGIOUS CRITICISM.

Former Democratic Chairman McCombs’ criticism of Wilsonism is characterized by Chairman Cummings as “one of those sporadic criticisms that are a negligible factor in our. affairs.” Had Mr. McCombs’ remarks been made a few years ago they might have been considered sporadic but his protest is now a part of the swelling, tide of revolt against Wilsonism, internationalism, and autocracy, that will sweep the Republican party to victory in November.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1920.

ATTENDED STATE MEETING OF AMERICAN LEGION

Nelson Shafer, as a delegate from the local post of the American Legion, attended the meeting of the Legion which was held in Vincennes Monday and Tuesday, and states that he was greatly impressed with the work that the Legion is doing and the advancement it is making. Mr. Shafer was late in arriving and upon his arrival found that the various committees had already been selected. However, he arrived in time to vote on many of the important Legion questions and to enjoy many of the features which had been placed on the program. • Mr. Shafer states that the Legion is undoubtedly here to stay and that it bids fair to become one of the greatest organizations in America. Although still in its infancy, Mr. Shafer says that the interest being manifested by its members is gaining in volume daily and that it is making itself felt in state and city movements and in a social way. In many of the larger cities practically all of the social movements are centered about the Legion. Mr. Shafer is an enthusiastic Legion' member and . keenly regrets that more interest is not manifested by the ex-soldiers of this county and that the membership of the local post is not larger. Mr. Shafer feels that Jasper county soldiers are entirely too backward in this matter and that if they only realized the worth and pleasure derived from such an organization that more interest would be shown. It is probable that a Legion meeting will be held here in the near future at which time Mr. Shafer will make a report of the state meeting and plans will be perfected for a membership drive.

VETERAN TITLEHOLDER HOLDS YOUNGSTERS AT BAY

With the coming of the summer months the lover of out-door sports invariably turns his attention to tennis. At least such is the case in Rensselaer, and the present year is no exception. With the conditioning of two splendid courts the interest this year in local tennis circles seems to have reached a higher pitch than ever before. Likewise the crop of high class racquet wielders appears to be the greatest ever and the battle for the city championships in the various classes in August will no doubt witness many hard fought matches. For years Dr. I. M. Washburn has reigned supreme among the Rensselaer tennis world and from present indications it appears that he will continue to do so for many years to come, despite the fact that he is no longer a youth of the twenties. However, for the past three years there have [been several of the younger generation stubbornly challenging his right as the titleholder. Foremost among these are Harry English, Lloyd Parks and William Babcock. Should any one of these three catch the champion off color they might lift his crown. But they will have to be going at top speed if such a thing is to happen. For a period of thirty years Dr. Washburn has been one of the leading exponents of the net game in this section of the state. His amazing wizardry with a tennis racquet has been a revelation to those who have witnessed his play. The dash and comet-like play that have characterized his game have always served to keep his opponents on the defensive, and on the few rare occasions where he himself has been placed on the defensive he has presented an impenetrable defense that has been a source of much discouragement to those who would lift his title. During the present season the titleholder appears to be playing the greatest game of his career! and has been defeating his opponents with great regularity, and if he continues his present pace there is no reason why he should not again be returned the winner in the August classic. Father Time will see to it the Dr.’s title is lifted eventually, but we believe we are safe in predicting.that no aspiring youngster will turn the tnck in the year 1920 A. D. Youth will be served but he will have to wait in this instance.

REALIZES AMBITION AFTER 14 YEAR WAIT

Walter Johnson, . Washington American League pitcher, and for years acknowledged as the greatest pitcher ever to face a batter, realized an ambition of fourteen years standing when he hurled a no-hit, no-run game against the. Boston Red Sox. Hooper, on Harris error of an easy chance, was the only Boston player to reach first base, Johnson issuing no free ticKew. Johnson has many one and twohit games in his record, but ms achievement of Thursday rounds out a colorful record that will withstand the attacks of slabsters for years to come. Washington won the game 1 to 0.
