PARKER, Ariz.. 'UP' After excavating 10 months, bedrock 2.T0 feet beneath the Colorado River was reported at the damsite here. Engineers said no bedrock has been found elsewhere below the Boulder dam.

Referring to a recently printed ai tide in the Daily Banner a letter ha been received in this office from Thos.

I have of ten climbed Bald Hill on Shank' Mare and can sympathize with tha' automobile. My own temperature generally approaches boiling point before I reach the top. “The discussion of the elevation of Bald Hill interested me particularly because for some time I have been working on a topographic map of a part of Putnam county and have recorded the elevations of some five thousand points in Grcencastle. Madison Monroe and Clinton townships The summit of Bald Hill on Mr. Ellis’ land is S.TO feet, about 15 feet higher than streets about the court house in Grcencastle. The normal water le-

vel of Long Branch where It crosses the road on the east side of Baid Hill is 636, a difference of 214 feet in about 800 yards. Arthur Plummer's guess of 200 feet was pretty accurate. There is a higher point on Mr, Charles Sigler's land '865 feet' about a quarter mile south and wes of the summit of Bald Hill but the view from there is not so good. TtP summit of the hill back of the cemetery south of Greencastle is 921 feet. “There are several approaches to Bald Hill beside the “automobil: road’’ taken by your correspondent.

ROADSIDE FIRES ARE CAUSED BY .MOTORISTS

Roadside fires, started by cigarettes and matches tossed from passing cars, have been reported from various parts of the state during the past few weeks, Earl Crawford, chairman of the State Highway Commission. reported today in an appeal to motorists for cooperation in pre-

venting such fires.

Frequently such fires spread to adjoining fields where they may destroy j crops and result in considerable damage to private property. With the approach of autumn the danger of such

fires becomes greater and every pro- i caution should be taken by motorists! to see that matches and cigarettes are out before they are thrown away.

' Sept. 4t 1 ’ to 10th, inclusive, will open as usual on Saturday with Club Day. In anticipation of a record breaking opening day crowd, manager Templeton decided to assume the great expense of bringing the National Barn Dance cast here as an unusual attraction for the initial day

turnout.

From the minute Joe Kelly, master of ceremonies, opens up with his familiar greeting, “Hello-hello, hello— everybody, everywhere!” until the signing off takes place the program moves along with songs, square dances, and melody in a peppy old hayloft style. Otto and his tune twisting Novelodians are popular favorites with the listening audience. Undoubtedly everyone , who has listened to the weekly barn dance program holds a desire to see and hear Lulu Belle and Skyland Scotty. Headlining the show will be Uncle Ezra. Known from coast to coast for his comedy and home town philosophy, Uncle Ezra i« a national favorite. He lives presumably in Rosedale, Coles County, where he has a mythical five-watt radio station that broadcast® three times a week ovei the NBC network.

According to present plans, no live stork will he exhibited under a tent Never in the history of the fair has exhibitor space been taken as early as it has this year, indicating a heavy interest in the Hoosier Exposition on the part of live stock breeders, farm machinery concerns and exhibitors who occupy space in the Manufac-

turers Building.

Fair fans are going to find it easier to view the exposition in a systematic manner this year. Exhibitors have been grouped as much as possible, and efforts made tt» line up the individual exhibits go they may be seen while passing between the permanent

buildings.

Many comfort facilities have been added. 79 new stations having been constructed and placed at various points of the grounds during the past year. Streets have been widened, grounds graded to make walking easier and new sidewalks con-

structed.

Anticipating a record crowd this year, manager Templeton feels if he is able to insure fans seeing ail the fair and in maximum comfort, his task has been accomplished.
