H ARRY L. PORTER. JIL Editor uikl Publisher Office Phone 4 — Home Phone 984 THURSDAY, JULY M» M 34 HE GOT HIS OWN .MEDICINE John Dillinger, notorious desperado, gunman and publicity seeker, came to an ignorriinious end on leaving a moving picture theater in Chicago, Sunday evening. r Betrayed by one of his underworld “friends”, trapped and shot down ruthlessly by federal men and police, he died in an alley. No blaze of glory was his for he had no chance to fight it out with the police. Such was the end of the yellow rat which gave officers of the law no chance, but shot’ them down as ruthlessly as he himself was killed. People sometimes get sen imental over the deeds of some desperado and even talk of “honor among thieves.” ’But that ‘honor” was lacking amongst some of Dillinger’s friends or sweethearts, for one can easily discern that Dillinger had the “finger" placed on him. The only thing that is left, to round out Dillinger’s life is for some one to write a biography entitled: “The Life and Exploits of John Dillinger." ON BEAUTIFYING THE LAKE WITH GARBAGE. A revival of the ancient method of disposing of garbage has again broken out. Apple and potatoe peelings are being washed around by the waves of Syracuse lake. People residing on the shores have asserted that garbage is being dumped into the lake.

Disposing of garbage, to say the least, adds nothing to the beauty of the lake, and, according to health authorities and they should know, adds some danger to those who swim and bathe in the lake, through the possibility of the water being polluted with germs. Some people state that there is a. law on the statute books prohibiting the dumping of garbage into lakes of this state. As to the truth of this statement, nothing official is known, but why' dump garbage into the lake? Os course, those who dump the garbage never receive the full effects of the smell and unsightliness for some neighbors’ lake front is always chosen as the dumping place. MAIN STREET X WHITTLINGS City papers and the exclusive sash- • n sheets have been predicting the eturn of the bicycle not necessarily he bicycle “built for two,” and it eems to be the idea has reached this vicinity, as despite the heat, nen and women, boys and girls can be seen pumping their wheels from he lake to Syracuse. A driver who stopped his car at a ocal filling station was overheard o say that he thought they should call a meeting of the legislature for this weather. “Movies will be the death ,of me” John Dillinger. An increase in the number of sun helmets being- worn is noticeable. They are the most comfortable proection ever devised against the rays f the sun. All Americans will soon e dressing at home as they do in Africa in shorts and helmets. ’!./ Garrett Grissom is telling the one •bout the farmer near here whom he knows. who signed the corn-lufg djustment act. This farmer ran out ■f corn to feed his hogs, and went to a farmer who had not aigned, to* buy some corn. That farmer refused to sell it to him with •)*(•!•”? for the man who did sign. This morning’s daily papers are’ telling of Italy mobilising against Hitler and Germany/"because of the death of Doilfuss. /it sounds like • not her war coming, and they haven’t paid us for the last one yet. If another war comes, and the United States is drawn into it instead of Being Kept Out, we are for universal conscription, every man, woman, child, penny dollar, farm and factory. Which would include the Brain Trust and othe Big Men. Universal conscription is the onlyway to end wars. Which means if Mussolini and Hitler had to get into it, there wouldn’t be any over there either. 0 .— COMMON SCHOOL FUND RECEIVED Kosciusko county’s allotment of the common school revenue, which is $2,£70.44 was received by County Auditor Jesse Bruner.

ALL RECORDS - ■(Continued from Page One) the heat three yean go, at which time he lost 13 pounds in one day, he said. , -. .. . On Sunday he bathed his face and head in the lake and telephoned to town and Lloyd Disher came out to the lake to finish delivering his route for him. > Sunday, Bill Bailey, chef at Sargent’s, suffered heat exhaustion. On Saturday, Fred Hinderer reports that he found two of his hens smothered to death in the coop at the rear of his home here in town. The same thing happened to two hens which Frank Gibson had just crated at his home, Saturday. ; Clee Hibschtnan said when he rei turned home from Church, Sunday, | he discovered that one of his sows had died in the heat. That same day one of J. H. Elliott’s chickens suffered a sun stroke. It starts an argument to inquire when the last rain fell around here., but the storm in which the Maxwelton Manor home of Mr. and Mrs. Fales was struck occurred two weeks ago Tuesday night, July 10. Also, on Friday the 13th there was rain in certain spots in the vicinity, but not a general downpour. Some of the crops aie . damaged beyond repair. These are in sandy I ground. There seems to still be hope for crops growing in clay soil. But fresh vegetables are becoming scarce From reports received in the Journal office yesterday, from farmers of this vicinity, the corn crop is a failure, and springs on nearby farms are drying up. Unless the fanners have corn they I cannot raise hogs or chickens. In addition to other chicken deaths from the heat, Mrs. Floyd Brower lost one hen, Mrs. Marie Strieby lost three this week, and Mrs. Sherman Deaton lost four. That this weather has effected crops is proven by the fact that for the first time in 23 years of farming, Dave Brown had two loads of bundles of oats taken to the barn for feed for his livestock this winter, and the rest will be threshed. Dr. O. C. Stoelting said yesterday that the corn crqp at his farm was ruined and that this week he had purchased rye and wheat at threshings, to feed his cattle next winter. In this heat it has been impossible for farmers to work horses, and for the most part, farm work now starts before daylight stops heat of the day, commences again in the evening and continues by moonlight. “Uncle Lew” Neff, with his father, has kept diaries for 55 years or since 1879. Each day he has the temperature recorded. Some of his July weather in interesting. Those who think its hot now should have been perspiring back Jon July 10, 1894, when his ther- , mometer showed the temperature j was 110. Or on July 21, 1891 when iit registered 108. Those are the { highest of which he has a record. But one July, back in 1922 On July 26th the temperature was only 66. A little of that now would help, it is believed. “Uncle Lew’s” record also shows that on August 6, 1918 the temperature at 3p. m. was 107, at his home. This was the August - which followed the Jan. 12, 1918 when the temperature here reached 28 below zero. Mr. Neff states that one thing about other years, high temperatures lasted but a day or so, and were broken usually by storms, but this heat has continued so long it has broken all records in time or degrees In 1930 there were three consecutive hot July days—July 19, temperature 100; July 20, 104; July 21 104. In 1931, July 17 was the hot day of the month with temperature of 102. Other temperatures chosen as “high” spots of the month* of recent years, and showing that the name of the month doesn’t mean the same temperature each year, were picked out from the ’ diariec by “Uncle Lew” and are a* follows: August 19, 1887—102. August 23 1889—103. July 21, 1891—108. June 23, 1892—106. July 10, 1894—110. . July 21, 1895—80. July 9, 1897—86. July 21, 1901—102. July 10 1903—87. July 3, 1904—102. July 30, 1917-88. July 21, 1919—85. July 24, 1921—90. July 26, 1922—66. July 31, 1929—83. July 23 1933—102. July 22, 1934—106.

NEED FISH SCALES > I FOR FOOD SURVEYS .-INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Hoosier fishermen can aid the Department of Conservation in improving fishing conditions in Indiana lakes and streams by sending"” tn a few scales from each of the fish in their catch, Virgil M. Simmons Commissioner of the Department, stated today. The scales, together with information on the size and weight of the fish and the location of the place where it was taken, provide data of value in the Department’s study of food conditions for fish in the lakes and streams, he pointed out. A similar appeal to fishermen was made early in the year and a number • of scales were received at that time. 1 Few scales have been received in recent weeks, slowing up the study i of natural food conditions for fish in the streams and lakes. Envelopes to be used in sending in the scales and
