The Farmer And Republicans Hocsier farmers, meeting in Indianapolis for the annual state convention of the Indiana Farm Bureau, . must have wondered whether Governor Ralph Gates, in addressing the convention, expected them to take his statements with the proverbial grain of salt. "Gqsodians of Democracy," Governor Gates shouted at the farmers and went on at great length to tell them how important their vocation is, how they have always been willing 'and able to meet the nation's demands for food production and other such laudatory phrases ThfiSP fjirmpvs rpnroaflntino- a muss nf tho hocf in Tnrl-

Five inches of water flooded the neighborhood streets, cellars were filled and traffic stopped for an hour before repairmen blocked off a 20-inch water main broken off by the shovel.

1 by professors in college at that, of having a slightly perverted sense of humor.

The parade of high school bands at the Indiana-Marquetce football game last Saturday was nice, but this corner wishes that the Sullivan High School band could have performed. We didn't see anything there that is 'any

better than the

uses, and some good.

Regardless of what you think of Smith, he did mention both Sullivan and Hymera in his .latest effort. Concerning Sullivan, he merely said that Theodore Dreiser once lived here. But he tried to show how Hymera got that name. He could be right, and we hope nat if he isn't, someone up in Hymera will give us the correct dope on it.

From the testimony of other witnesses, the general had become the number one target for the committee, who 'apparently has forgotten its vendetta with Hughes. However, the chances of bringing the general to court are slim. That statute of limitations, which says that if you can hide a crime long enough you can't be touched when someone finds out about it, will probably prevent any prosecution. But, the subcommittee seems to have forgotten all about Hughes for the moment.

There was one little stunt that the band pulled at the ' Linton game that had a few of the fans' wondering. That came when Kenny Riggs got "mixed up" and went the wrong way. Many of the fans never did realize that it was1 all done deliberately. That stunt would have drawn a big hand -from the I. U. crowd last Saturday. On that score, some Linton fans asked afterwards if the fellow who picked up the baton when Kenny dropped it was the new mayor of Sullivan.

But, according to Smith, some years ago, the town had the name

A OW band, vcvci , illcic wao ',. ''another post Toff ice in the state of it wasn't as ... f ... . with that name, and the postmaster at Hymera was told to change the name. He thought for

a long time, and finally decided to name it after his daughter. His daughter's name was Mary, and she was tall, so he called the town High Mary, which, in the course of time, became corrupted to-Hymera. Now, that is what

Smith says, so if he isn't please, people, don't hop about it.

Folks here were burned up over an article on Our Town I reprinted , from a city paper. Made us sound like a bunch of "hicks" who whittled sticks and wore chin whiskers. (Last person I saw with chin whiskers was passing through on khis way east.) So I ran an editorial on how we spoke of city "slickers" as overdressed wiseacres, only interested in making money, and spending it in night clubs.Fact is, if we got to know each other we'd probably find we're not

much different, underneath. City folks work hard; like to come home at night to their families; and relax with a moderate glass of beer, like we do. From where I sit, it doesn't matter if you live in an apartment house or oh a farm work in an office or a cornfield the American tradition of quiet home life, temperate habits, and neighborliness is common to all of us.

But ' with all respect to the band, and we hope that Wilfred Peiigo won't come in and pull our hair out, we think that Lee French's girl drum and bugle corps would have really brought down the house at 1, U. Such an organization is unusual, to say the leant, and they put on a snappy show for the fans. Maybe next year the drum and bugle corps will get to go . to one of I. U.'s games.

We had a little extra time during the day, and started to browse around in the I. U. book store. . It ended costing us a little money, as we found a book that we hadn't read before. It .was the latest' H. Allen Smith book. To our mind. Smith is the funniest of the present-day humorists, but we will admit that a lot of people don't think so. In fact, where Smith is concerned, this corner has been accused, and
