A representative is here promoting an exposition in the interest of Ligoonier Post American Legion. Ot the affair he says: - “Ligonier is to have a big event staged on the.nights of September 2930 and Oct. 1-2 in the nature of an “Own your own Home” exposition and Automobie Show. The local American Legion are the sponsors of this big celebration and.have contracted with the Bach Service Bureau of Rockford 111, to manage the same. This company has just completed a successtul exposition for Huntington and from all reports in spite of the weather it was one of that city’s biggest affairs. This Exposition will in no . way savor of the Carnival or Indoor Fair idea, as there will be no games of chance, paddle wheels or the like permitted but instead it is to be an exhibit of the products manufactured and sold in Ligonier. Arrangements have been made to use the Foster Sale Barn and g huge tent will be erected directly in the rear of the barn to house the Auto show and here also will be held the entertainment numbers. The Sale Barn is to be completely renovated, white washed and booths will be erect ed wherein will be displayed the wares of the numerous business and manufacturing houses. Aready great interest has been aroused and spaces have been alloted. After the booths are built beautiful decorations will be put up and Ligonier folks will be ready for a big surprise. The various programs will consist of band concerts, orchestra’s, a huge Legion parade with band and drum corps, a baby show, style show, old fiddlers contest hog calling contest, Charleston contests for the kiddies as well as the; grown-ups, free acts and many other features are promised. A small admission charge will be made and the proceeds of this affair will go to the Legion. Support is to be asked from the Chamber of Commerce, City administration, Lions and other Clubs and all in all it will be a strictly community affair by which the exhibitors will be the ones to benefit directly. At the Huntington Show reports received indicated that $15,000 worth of merchandise was sold in the four nights and each of these nights was RAIN. Besides hundreds of prospects secured by the booth holders which eventually result in sales.”

STREAM POLLUTION MENACE
Waltonians to Launeh Drive to Free Indiang Rivers and Lakes of Pol- ; lution Menace.
Just as Indiana is one of the leading 'states of the country in education the Indiana state division of the Izaak Walton League of America is bending its efforts to make the Hoosier state take first in Waltonianism according to state senator L. G. Bradford of South Bend president of the Indiana division of the league and one of the prominent sportsmen of the state. “With the thousands of members enrolled” Senator Bradford said ,“In diana has advanced into the tirsti ranks of the Waltonianism and under the plans of the present state administration we expect to go fox'wzau‘dl during the next year with as great speed as that-which characterized thg Izaak Walton League in Indiana during the past nine months. : “Chapters of the league have sprung up in nearly every town and village in the state” the president of the Indiana state division said “and each locality has been doubling its activities. Pollution not only: a meance to fish and wild life in Indiana and the country at large but a peril to the people is in many of the hundreds of freshwater bodies of this state. . This evil herectofore fought in a rather lethargistie manner has come to such a statd of affairs that the Izaak Walton League of America is making a crushing organized drive against it. In Indiana alone the yearly toll of natural and potential resources of the great outs doors is appalling. But we are making a strong battle against the poisoning of the states waters and we won’t relax our fight until pollution has been eradicated in Indiana.”
