HIGHWAY WILL PASS
THROUGH PLYMOUTH
Lanai VIII Also Get Dixie Road as
Result of Decision Made
Last Night.

That the Dixie highway will extend
through Lapaz and Plymouth, was
decided last night at a meeting held
at Lapaz by road enthusiasts o.
Plymouth. Lapaz anu South Bend.
Opposition to this road was started
when Oscar Huff. a farmer living be-
tween Bremen and Wyatt, suggested
that the road go through these TWO
towns and up 10 Mishawaka, which is
a shorter route TO South Bend. me
road which leads through these towns
is considered good with the exception
of but a few miles while the Official
route which leads through Plymouth
needs considerable work before be-
coming an excepted road by the state
Through the ambitions OF the
Northern Indiana Motor club meet
ing of $50 farmers was called Tues
day night at Lanai when a petition
was read in which the funds and
work needed by Plymouth and Lapaz
before they could be sure OF the high
way was related
Addresses were made by William
Happ of South Bend: John O'Keefe,
C. W. Metsker, Frank Barthway and
S +. Boys of Plymouth and II. O..
Spaulding of South Bend.
Following the addresses the petition
was opened for signatures of the
property holders of the county and
Is names were secured of the so
which are necessary to carry a petit
ton through. 1t is believed that the
remaining number of names will be
secured before the end of the week.
w. S Gilbraith. field secretary Of
the Dixie Highway association, will
visit this section Of the highway dur
ing the coming week and if enough
enthusiasm is shown for the Plymouth
route it shall stand as it is.

AUGUST PASSES
By UNLAMENTED
Most Wilful Month OF Many Years
Departs But Is Not Asked
Co Return.

The month of August has gone
unwept unhonored and unsung. 1t
has passed into history and only the
imprecations Of a disguised populace
remain to mark the passing.
OF all the wilful months Of a wilful
year the month Of August was the
wilfullest OF the bunch To begin
with, it came in meek and lOwly, like
a lamb, after the manner OF Mays or
Junes. but il went out with its char
acter black as the character Of the
blacklist of black Februaries. The
first day of this remarkably hayward
August was the w2rmest day of the
month and the last day was the cold
est The month itsels was the cold
est August ef which there has been
any record during the p years exist
ence of the local weather bureau.
Henry Swain, local weather man,
is authority for these facts concern
ing the month. The mean tempera-
ture during the month was 65.5 de-
,rces which was 6.S degrees below
normal The lowest mean tempera-
ture previously on record was that Of
SIS degrees during August of 1904.
The maximum height to which the
mercury arose during the month was
to 81 degrees which was two degrees
I
mum which was recorded in 1904. 1t
/ is usual during Aususts for the mer-
curry TO hover aroma the 80 degree
mark and it has been known TO 90
as high as the 81 degree mark.
And then there was the minimum
temperature of the late, unlamented
month"; temperature beyond all
| reason but nevertheless a tempera-
ture fully recorded and marked down
on the books Of the weather man. This
temperature was AZ degrees and was
prevalent during the early morning
hours of Tuesday. The conditions
Monday night were right for a frost
but none was reported in the county
except in protected nlaces where signs
| of such a visitation were present
when the sun arose. If there was
| frost in the open places it was dis
PEELED by the southwest wind which
came to temper the air Tuesday The
| only August frost previously record
ed was one on Aug. 20, 1897.
Not only was August a cold month,
| but ii was a wet month. The pre-
cipitadOn during the month was Asa
| inches which was Los inches above
normal. From all reports the cold
and rain of the month has not done
any great damage to crops except that
| the development of the corn has been
considerably retarded. Harvested
crops have not suffered to any great
extent The danger to the corn lies
: in the fact that il will be in the milk
stage for some time and therefor I'M
usually susceptible to killing by IN
early frost.

TAYLOR, BOWMAN
AND LYNCH GAIN
Closing Day of Primary Cam
paign Finds Voters Lining
Up Behind Them

With the primary contests on the
verge of being decided at the polls to-
morrow candidates of all parties and
those running for the city nonpartisan
places were very active to-day. In
terest in Harrisburg lies largely in the
selection of nominees for council
eight to be selected. Some of the cam
didates and their friends found a
widespread misunderstanding of the
law. Voters thought they had the
privilege of voting for eight commits
sioners and two candidates. for
mayor. This is not correct. The law
permits the elector to vote for only
four councilman and one mayorality
aspirant.
The day brought out the fact that
citizens everywhere and of all walks
of life and political belief are lining
up behind Councilman Lynch, Taylor
and Bowman. The uncalled for and
unjust attacks that have been directed
against these three officials have
drawn the attention of the voters to
them as could have been done in no
other way, with the result that after
looking into their records in office
hundreds of people have been led to
the belief that it would be folly to de-
feat them for reelection ana put into
office three new councilmen who
NOulu nave W bSS III al bNGA anu lSetA II
the business of running the city as
Messrs. Lynch, Taylor and Bowman
had to do two years ago.
Commissioner Taylor has been the
subject of particularly vicious attacks
for the reason that he refused to be
the tool of certain aspiring politician
in the appointment of playground in
structors, preferring to let merit rule
in the selections. He is receiving as
we'll hearty commendation for his
work in extending the river park and
for giving the people of the West End
and the lower end Fairgrounds to meet
their needs. He has also saved much
money on contracts for bridges and
other work in the parks and is popu-
lar among the firemen.
Mr.. Bowman has back of him not
only heavy reductions in the running
expenses of the water department but
two cuts in the water rates as well.
Thus the city is not only saving on its
expenses but the people are actually
getting their water at a much less
cost. This is saving that touches
the pocketbook of every water user.
In the highway department Mr..
Lynch has been equally fortunate in
making a good impression on those
who have carefully investigated his
record. He is a wonder at street
cleaning and the system he has been
operating has changed things wonder
fully for the better, and since he has
had the new asphalt repair plant he
has been doing much in the way of put
ting the asphalt highways into repair.
The most significant feature of the
closing day of the campaign was the
manner in which Lynch. Taylor and
Bowman are coming TO the front and
they give promise of running well up
on the ticket.
