DUDE RANCHERS STOP HERE Visualizing themselves as becoming full fledged cow punchers, fifty boys and girls who hail from New York state, stopped at the Spink-Wawasee Hotel this week, enroute to the Sundown Dude Ranch at Aripine, Arizona, where they will remain throughout the summer. The party is headed by W. F. Kurtz, athletic director of a high school at Fieldston, New York. This is the thirteenth consecutive. summer that Mr. Kurtz has accompanied boys and girls of the high school age to this popular ranch. Upon their arrival, each member of the party will be introduced to typical western life, as they will be kept busy raising cattle, training yearling colts and performing such duties of which an “honest t 0 goodness” cow is familiar. Their education along the art of roping cattle, bull fighting, bronco riding and other hairraising feats, offtimes featured at so-called Rodeos, will be given the utmost attention. With such a daily routine scheduled, practically every member ot the party expects to be so apt along these different lines, that by the end of their vacation, they will be chosen to participate in the big rode o program to be staged at the ranch house, early in September. This popular dude ranch consists of eighty square miles of pasture land and is owned by the Turley brothers, descendants of the famous Turleys, who are followers of the Mormon religion. Humoring whims of eight\hundred cattle and several hundred head of horses, won’t be child’s play for this group of easterners, but at any rate, they can hardly wait until they reach their destination.

HOLIDAY ACC IDENTS REFLECT DISREGARD FOR WARNING SIGNS Motor vehicle accidents on the state highways during the past week ends and holidays indicate a frequent disregard for caution and warning signs erected by the State Highway Commission for the protection of the motorist, T. A. Dicus, chairman, reported today. Indiana, has, in the frequently expressed opinion of motorists and highway authorities from .gpther states, one of the bestmarked highway systems found in any stale. Many thousands of dollars are spent annually for the maintenance of signs which give the motorist information as to the route he is following, curves, railroad interesctions, no-passing zones, speed restrictions and other traffic aids. Considerable engineering study ha s been given to the signs used along the state highway system—to see that signs are used only where some definite need exists and to make the message to the motorists as simple and effective as possible. Signs used meet the standardized color, type and symbols adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials. Standard signs also are used in the marking of detours, giving nhe motorists on these temporary routes the same protection and opportunity to travel in safety as results from these same markings on the state highways. At the gypsies’ annual br’de market in Kraljevo, Ygoslavia, prices were exceedingly low this year. Parents of the prize of the lot, a striking brunette, received only $6.40, while less attractive girls brought as little as $3.60.

O O | THE LOWDOWN FROM | | HICKORY GROVE [ o o I am not against relief — I am for it. It is OK. And the first thing I would like to see the U. S. relieved of, it Is hokum. Some things we do not have enough of in the U. S., but it is no hokum. And in the high places, it is most prevalent. But with hooey and hokum, ’t is like it is with ice cream and pie; you can have too much, and you get sick at the stomach — and need relief. But for other kinds of relief and hunger, like we read so mucn about, we can do something too. And the top men there, they get 12 thousand a year, but if you are really hungry, you only get 35 dollars a month. And the person who ‘is hungry because he cannot find work, he should have 35 dollars- And likewise the top man, if he is hungry, and cannot find work, he should have 35 dollars. But for the top man or bottom man, there should be one rate. Hunger, it gnaws as hard in one stomach as another — but no harder. Yours, with the low down, 4 JO SERRA
