V Arthur Brisbane YOU HAVE A RICH UNCLE TIRED OF IRAQ MELLON AND LORD CHATHAM WHISKERS THE FASHION {Secretary Mellon, keeper of the public purse, announces at satisfac* tory financial yeur ,and a surplus of $184,000,000 in Uncle Sain's pocket. Mr. Mellon reduced by 1746,000,000 the public debt, which now totals $16,185,000,000. Not much for such a rich country. Business might lx better if the bonds were not paid off so rapidly. But Mr. Mellon probably knows. Several years ago, you remember, all the world was excited about mandates. France took one, England, absent-mindedly swallowing German colonies, took others, including Iraq, An effort was made to “wish" Turkey as a mandate on this long suffering nation. Thanks to providence, we escaped that. To be Kemal's tutor would be a job. Now England Hells Iraq ,in substance: “Go in peace, join the League of Nations, run yourself." That blessed word, “Mesopotamia," ancient name for Iraq, has cost the British many millions of pounds. All that Britain wants now is to keep, without exjiense, the right to “British Imperial communications and air routes” through the territory of the Tigris and Euphrates.” Washington says Secetary Mellon will devote his vacation to teaching banking and corporation management lo his son Paul, back from a postgraduate course at CambridgeAn attentive son can learn more from his father than from a thousand professors put together, if his father knows. And Mr. Mellon does know. In a grave in Westminster Abbey a father and son lie side by side—Pitt who kept Napoleon out of England, and his father .the earl of Chatham. Pitt, a delicate boy, was taught in youth by his father, and later studied statesmanship at his father’s dinner table, listening to Chatham and other older men. He entered the house of commons, and was chancellor of the exchequer at twenty-two and prime minister at twenty three. If you plan a trip to London and want to look fashionable, let your beard grow in cave man fashion. Young Oxford men and the "young set" generally are doing that. Britain decides that whiskers are necessary to celebrity; a man cannot look convincingly eminent clean shaven. They overlook al; least three- -Alexander, Ckesar and Napoleon. 1 hey were clean shaven and quite convincing. Some, disturbed by depressed business, may find cornfort in news that, our “best" people are happy and gay as ever. More of them are in Europe this year than last, more of them at desirable United States resorts ,espe daily Bar Harbor and Newport. All this you learn from the Social Register of New York, the real one, not the imitation registers that organised “to supply exclusiveness to the masses.” Williams, Boyd and Connor plan new deeds .having flown from New York to Bermuda and back, nonatop, in 17 hours and 1 minute, and Dorothy Hester, nineteen-year-old girl in Portland, Ore., does an “outside loop" after one year’s flying. Three times, with two failures in five tries, the young western girl did what few men have ever done and no iwoman ever attempted. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley is dead in his eighty-sixth year. He rendered public service and proved the soundjiees of his theoriai on diet. He did not, however, equal the record of the famous Italian Conaro. The latter specialised long ago in light eating. He lived to one hundred and four in good health ,and his wife, upon whom he urged his theories, lived past one hundred. — —— - Mussolini adds 136,000,000, a large ■um in Italy, to his annual military expenses. The people patriotically accept more taxation when Mussolini tells them he Is “meeting the increasing military expenditures of • neighbors," referring to the heavy French border guard. A woman complains that Jugo- • alavian officials beat her brutally and frequently to get political confession* from her. Poland exhaustii her resources, 'keeping in futile ireadiness for what 4 Russia may do. Onlly a match is need - ed in that situation. The Russian newspaper Pravda, urges communist* in Amercia to “in tonsify their activities among nogross and workers of foreign nationality." The edviie is not sound. Negroes and workers foreign bom are usually willing to work for a liv- * ing. Lack is the Com- “

CROWDS VISIT TWO LAKES FOR HOLIDAY This Fourth Biggest In Years Local Business People Vacation crowds, visited Wawasee and Syracuse Lakes on the Fourth of July and the week end following. This fact is shown by the statement of hotel owners about the lakes. The Spink Wawasee reports that the hotel was filled to capacity with I its 200 guests, and people from near-1 by towns drove to the hotel to take I dinner there the evening of the Fourth, so that 500 were served. The dining room was filled and emptied several times, the crowd staying to i enjoy moonlight dancing on the marine porch after dinner. Sargent’s began turning them away away early Friday, as advance reservations filled the hotel and annex in advance of the Fourth. At lunch time and jit dinner in the evening, 740 meals were served in the hotel dining room and the Porch. $ The South Shore Inn reports “The usual full house on the Fourth." “Bigger than last Fourth,” is the report coming from the Tavern. Emerson’s Case near Waco reports a full to oveflowing business. “A conservative estimate would put this year’s business at 20 per cent more than last Fourth,” Mr. Emerson said. The Oakwood Park hotel reports a full house, guests coming to the lake from Indianapolis, Chicago and Dayton, Ohio. In Syracuse, the Thornburg Drug Co. experienced the largest of July of its years of business here. Like Grieger’s grocery, they announce that the June business was larger than that of other years. July business is also increasing. “The biggest Fourth ever,’ ’is Waco’s report. “Hundreds were turned away. We just couldn’t take care of them.” That they came back some other day is shown by the crowds who are going to Waco these following days. The miniature golf courses have been crowded since their openings, but the holiday week end meant waiting lines to play both day and night. In Syracuse the Sign of the Kettle reports the biggest Fourth ever and the biggest June and July business of its existence. The Kettle has been keeping open all night this year ,to take care of late supper orders and the breakfasts of early morning fishermen. From the Wawasee Sandwich Shop comes the report; “Receipts of the day of this Fourth ran over last year’s, our first in business. Business other days is fine.” “The week end of the Fourth was larger than last year," is the report from the Grand hotel. The day of the Fourth was the best day in years.” HUFFER IS FINED TOTAL OF $276.90 WARSAW, Ind.,—Sam Huffer, who was arrested by Officer Frank Lucas and Constable B. O. Mabie, following a raid on his cottage at Lake Papakeetchie several days ago, pleaded guilty to charges of possession and sale of liquor when arraigned in Warsaw city court last week, and was assessed a total of $276.90 and given a suspended sentence of six months at the penal farm on each charge.

any community as they did not support the community in any way. Short weight ws aanother accusation he broadcast against the chain stores. If the chafn stores are to be allowed to exist, according to Mr. Durham, only two classes of people will eventually inhabit the United States—the rich and the peasants. Mr. Durham also stated the farmer is hurting himself every time he buys anything from a chain store, for the chain store by deliberately lowering the price it pays for its products is already driving the farmers into debt, he said. Patronize home-owned stores was the plea of Mr. Durham, for he stated they support the community, spend their money in the community and are able to give service. He said these hoem-owned stores also give credit and help the unfortunate in time of distress. , The program Monday evening was sponsored and made possible by the local merchants of Syracuse.

Bachman, Harriet Foust, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Foust, Rowena Insley, daughter of Mr .and Mrs. N. C. Insley and Beverley Snavely, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Snavely were among the young people who suffered burns from fire crackers in celebation of the Fourth of July last week. In the case of both Laura Bachman and Harriet Foust, the burns came from firecrackers which had been lighted and thrown by boys. The explosions occurred near enough to the girls to cause powder burns on their legs. They weren’t together at the time of their accidents. Laura Bachman was going into the postoffice last Wednesday evening when she was burned by an exploding firecracker. She was taken to the doctor and anti tetanus serum was injected to prevent blood poisoning. Harriet Foust was one of a group of girls walking along Main street last Wednesday evening when a burning firecracker was thrown ,and it exploded so close to her that her legs were burned. She also was taken to the doctor for anti tetanus serum. Rowena Insley’s burns came from her own firecracker which she attempted to light the morning of the Fourth. It was a cracker about five inches long. She broke the cracker to light the powder. She held her. left hand too close To the powder to kee p.the wind from blowing .out the match. When the powder blazed up the flame burned the palm of her hand which se now wears bandaged. Beverley Snavely, according to her cousins, had broken open a small cracker, to empty out the powder so she could use it for a substitute for “punk.” She evidently did not get al lof the powder out, for, when she held it to her mouth to breathe on the spark to be sure it was sufficient to light the other crackers, the remaining powder exploded burning her left eye ball. —o LOCKWOOD HURT AS TRUCK TURNS OVER Charles Lockwood, 45, of near Solomon's Creek narrowly escaped death by suffocation last Wednesday afternoon, when the truck of gravel he was driving for the Seaman Construction Co. ,of Elkhart .overturned and spilled its load of sand and gravel on him .
