GREATEST DEVELOPMENT IN MOTORDOM That the remainder of the year will bring forth the greatest developunents in motordam since the inception of the automobile is the earnest belief of officials of the Hoosier State Auto Association. according to M. R Noblet, speaking for the association as secretary. Composed of business and proi fessional men, the official stuff of the club is in touch with ! **minv pvenTs and ih the opinion of Secretory M. R Noblet me motoring public is due for a number of agreeable surprises. “Os the many developments forecast the introduction by large manufacturers of extremely small cars powcrt t by high speed, European-type motors is perhaps the most startling,” he says, “but more sigrtiificr.ut :s the prediction that more • than 500.000 additional bar owners will join the American Automobile Association through more ‘tian 800 motor clubs of-which is an active affiliation. “We are to have more modern owners as well as more modern The combination is j certain to effect surprising and agreeable changes id motoring. “The year gives every promise of being a record breaker in production of new cars and it is already established that even should production suffer a setback the total sale of car units, including movement!' of used cars, will be the greatest on record. ’Urtis means more motorists, and The success of motoring hyiges upon motorizing the country. The biggest stride in the forward direction will be token when motoring is everybody's problem and when everyone is willing to seek the solution through cooperation. “1926 is marking the big advance in this direction, %nd before the year is outs, motor car ownership will be on) an entirely different basis for hundreds of thousands.” - ■ .-■■■■ o LeCOUNT-DeH ART Paul LeCount of Millersburg and Miss Ruth DeHart of this city, were united in marriage at the United Brethren church last Thursday noon, July 8, which was also the grooms twentyfirst birthday.

CANNING TIME It’s true that we can buy most everything we eat, from our milk to our meat, in cans, and possibly from the standpoint of the new bridewho w T as too busy love making to learn how to cook, canned goods are a blessing. But ask the housewife who has been married long enough for the novelty to wear off, and she’ll tjeil you that one j great American art that is never going to be lost is the art of home canning. 4 She will have any number of arguments in favor of not letting it die out. too. and one of them will be that no matter how big commercial canning plants may be. how many people they employ or how fine the quality of fruits and vegetables they use. “it never tastes like home canned stuff.” And as a general rule the family will side in with her. Then, too, she will explain that by using the products of her own fruit trees and garden she can save money by doing her , own canning. And. finally she j will convince you that she is a j believer in preparedness, and that by having a closet welk stocked with home grown goodies to be used during the long winter 'days, she will always be prepared should company drop in unexpectedly. Th?se are only a few reasons why the home canning season is |tept alive and they are good ones, too. So good, in fact, ‘hat the girl who wjants to be sure of pleasing a husband and making a good housekeeper should, now that another canning season is here, set about learning how it is dones.

WINONA SEEKS .EXTENSION Recent action by the Board of Directors of the Winona Asseinbly and Bible Conference at Winona Lake, Indiana, makes possible a great forward movement for the organization* The carrying out of this program will necessitate the raising of large extension and endowment funds. The Ward Systems Co. of Chicago, Expert Directors of Campaigns for Funds, have been engaged to supervise the Drive. Their representative, Mr. F. D. Btown. is already on the field, making preparation. It ateo was decided by the Directors to change the name of the organization, pending the permission of the Court, from Winona Assembly and Bible Conference to Winona Lake Institutions. The name will, obviously, be more fitted to the manifold activities of the place The purposes of this Winona organization are religious, educational and recreational. Upon the securing of the fund, the present equipment will be put into adequate condition, and new will be added as the needs demand.

ADMISSION FEE TO THE DUNES STATE PVRK A fee of ten cents for all persons over eight years old will be charged to the Dunes State Park. This admission price is the , unie charged at all Indiana’s state parks, conservation officials saidIn announcing establishment of a gate fee for the Dunes, Richard Lieber, state conservation director, said that campers may go back and forth from the park without further gate charge. Cottage owners in the park area will be accorded the same privilege as campers, he said, but made it plain that a cottage owner should not expect to pay but one admission fee for the season if he divides his visits several weeks apart. In other words, if a cottage owner or camper enters the park for a few days or a week or so. then one admission fee only is charged. When he leaves and returns for another vacation period he is expected to pay the entrance fee again. Admission to Indiana state parks is small, yet necessary by reason of the smaff appropriation the department receives In the course of a year a ten cent admission fee provides a considerable sum which is expended for developing trails, keeping park areas m first class condition, and for policing reservations and making them safe for ladies and children who may not be accompanied by escorts CHAMBER Or COMMERCE The name of the Syracuse Cotmmereial Club has been crianged to “Chamber of Commerce,” and henceforth will fly the flag under that name.

COUNTY VETERINARLAN ISSUES WARNING Dr. Floyd N 9 Hopper, county veterinarian, has issued a warning against all cattle owners, who persist in driving untested cattle through Kosciusko county on s he public highwavs in violation of the tuberculosis quarinline Saw, that Miey will be arrested. Four previous warnings have been issued, but this practice has not been stopped. Dr. Hoppper hasrissued the following statement: “Warning signs will be placed Jon all roads entering Kosciusko county from adjoining counties that no cattle shall come into this county over public highways that have not had tie tuberculosis test and which are not accompanied by a certificate from a qualified veterinarian that the test has been applied not over six monhfs previous to the date of transfer, or that the herd has came from an ed free area. “This* means dealing and trafficking in cattle from herds outside of Kosciusko county and the coming of tibem into Kosciusko county must stop. ‘This is the last warning to be given by the county veterinarian as the law and regulations are Very explicit. “This practice must stop or recourse to the law enforcement officers will be token to stop it,” Dr. Hopper said. o—l 0 —I L SAVE TIME AND TROUBLE In case a bushel or more of peaches or apricots is tp be canned at one time, they may be peeled with the use of lye, but this method is not justified with a smaller qua ntity, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It is necessary to be careful in using the lye, especially if there are children around, for it is a powerful caustic and serious accidents have happened. To peel peaches or apricots with lye, prepare in an agateware or iron kettle a solution of one-fourth pound of granulated lye of a standard brand in two gallons of water. TSiis quantity is equal to four ounces or four level toblespoons of lye* Never use an aluminum kettle for tihis purpose. Heat the mixture to boiling, and while actively boiling immerse the peaches or apricots in a wire basket until the skin is loosened and partially dissolved. This will usually require 30 to 60 seconds. Remove the fruit, wash it at once in running water, if possible. until the skin and lye are removed, and thoroughly rinse the iruit o If still water is used, rinse the fruit in a fresh supply after washing off the skin and lye. o THE USELESS PROBE The end of the Washington investigation sessions indicates that the Pennsylvania inquiry is practically at an end, aPhough there may be echoes of it in the courts and in the movement to prevent Mr. Vare’s searing in the Senate. It also marks the end apparently of the query into the activities of the wet and dry organizations. The transfer of the seat of the hearings to Chicago means t at the primary exnendiriires in that’ state are to be combed for disclosures. Just what it all amounts to is another matter. If nothing more comes of it ffton resulted from the 17 coal investigations the exhaustive Muscle Shoals hearings, the needs of agriculture, the Shipping Board and a couple dozen other “probes,” it will mean only ' a waste of public money and a good deal of valuable time. To this date the only result seem« to be to supply some one with campaign material. We may soon be compelled to elect another Congress—one to transact business and the other to investigate them. oBASE BALL The Syrac se Grays defeated the Goshen Independents last Sunday by a score of 5 to 2.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Marriage Tlie last decade has seen such prodigious changes in oar social structure that many persons are beginning to believe that marriage as we now know’ it is an outworn institution, soon to be tossed on tlhe universal scrap heap; Certainly the rising tide of divorce would seem to support this belief. But women of today are human beings, possessing brains as well as ankles. The silly mystery of sex, used for so long as an enricing veil has been torn away. The wouldbe husband no longer pretends on bended knee that his inamorata is an angel out of heaven, nnmeasuralily too good for him to be turned in a year into household drudge. Nor does the blushing bride pretend that she has never been kissed, and faint away if somebody mentions the possibility of children. * When marriages are more intelligently entered into, w’hen the basis is no longer a purely commercial one, fewer of them will turn out tb be failures. Hie professional alimony collectors will go out of business. Men and women, seeking mental and physical companionship, will pick their mates with less regard for financial qualifications, more for those which make good fathers and mo’hers, good husbands and wives. That is what marriage should be—will be, in the future. What About the Flag? Some three years agtupro-Brit-ish writers, editors and lecturers in this country advocated a change in the words of our National anthem. ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” and same of them suggested that it be, abolished on the ground thaf. it was distasteful to the British people. The matter has never been given serious consideration, but the action of the New York Port Society in dropping it from the Independence Day program and substituting “God Save the King” seems to deserve at least parsing no ice. More impressive is the fact, however, t '.at the great American press usually so jealous of American ideals, lias remained very silent regarding the inciden’. Can it be possible that the old, patriotic* hymn, honored by .every loyal citizen by stand-ng with uncovered head when it is sung, is to be assigned to the ash can? And is the Star Spangled Banner i‘self—the flag our forefathers. our fathers and sons and daughters died for—to be replaced by the Union Jack, just to please a few hyphenated Americans? You can best aid the w’orld by attending to the lirt’e duty nearest you, insteao of longing for some big. fine task within the range of the limelight. A very small minority of the population does most of the planning and thinking—tfee bilance enjoy the benefits and share in the profits. Why not be foolish once in awhile? People who are always exriwmely serious and sensible seem' to die with considerable regularity*,. Most of the successful men never expected to get where they are. They simply did their darnedest and fate produced results. If laws really made people good the market for wings would tax productive capacity, and heaven would be close at hand. A non-skid rubber roadway is being tested in an English town Next they ought to try to invent a non-crossable railroad crossingA prophet is not appreciated in his own country.
