(THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Flag Day, June 14, should be observed in every school and in every community in this nation. Our flag is the emblem of equal rights. It means universal education —light for every mind, knowledge for every child. It means that it is the duty of ?very citizen to bear his share of the public burden. It means hat all distinction based on trirth or blood have perished Yom our laws; that our Government shall stand between capital and labor, betw’een the weak ind the strong, between the individual and the corporation, between want and wealth, and give .he guarantee of simple justice to each and all. The flag is the amblem of a supreme will of a Nation’s power. Beneath its olds the weakest must be proected and the strongest must obey. Things could be worse. If this month was February you would have to pay a month’s •ent for 28 days. When the thirteen month calendar goes into effect, you’ll iave that privilege each month. If some chemist would only find away to make automobile tires out of corn, the farm problem would be solved. The ideal time of the year is when it is too warm to have to mother with the coal man and lot warm enough to have anything to do with the ice fnan. The world could be worse, much worse. It could be almost as bad as we often think it is. Are we saving daylight by robbing ourselves of an hour’s sleep? The clever buyer reads the ads, first. Trading at' home includes the idea of buying farm products raised in this territory. Present day sports seems to be he removing of road signs. Paries practicing this may derive ome sort of pleasure by this but in doing so, work a hardship on the traveling pubHc. Now that we have daylight saving time, how many people observe it? We can turn our clocks ahead, but does that deliver our mail at the same time, or is it an hour later? At least, one should be cpmpel'ed to take an intelligence test and prove that he knows which ’s the right side of the road before being permitted to drive a car. Some fellow could make a fortune in a few minutes if he’d invent lawn grass seed that would » grow an inch high and then stop. Now comes the vacation season. And then will come the season for resting from our vacations. This Week’s Puzzle Puller Question: Where were doughnuts first fried? Answer: In grease. z NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Kosciusko Circuit Court, in the State of Indiana, Executor of the estate of Reuben Shively, late of Kosciusko County?, deceased.
