An undated Indianapolis style ode extols the wild rose as Indiana’s emblem in midsummer. The piece lauds its democracy and fragrance, tracing mythic and historic associations from Persia to Rome, York to Lancaster, and ancient gods, while noting it lacks official state flower status.
Ancient legend tells of the Golden Man of Muysca and a lake full of gold and emeralds at Lake Guatavita near El Dorado. Explorers from Spaniards to British engineers drained the lake seeking riches, but success eluded them and the myth persists as a debated story of wealth beneath the Andean waters.
The text reflects on the rose as a symbol of beauty and enduring ideals. It contrasts fable driven romance with the flower’s fictionally implied value and notes the wild rose being sought in Indiana.

Professor John Hanna of Columbia says the U S government runs fifty two financing institutions with a government stake in twelve more.

The measure did not pass.
Haitian planter Hai tian coffee grower Dauphin, 57, reportedly transformed from black to white after eating a jungle nut.

W H Settle president of Indiana Farm Bureau told about 200 county representatives and elevator managers that the Agricultural Adjustment Act will apply to the 1933 wheat crop in Indiana. Farmers signing contracts to cut acreages up to 20 percent will receive government checks funded by a 30 cent per bushel excise tax on wheat processing. Benefiting farmers get a parity price with the 70 percent of production, with payments in two installments by September and later after contract proof.
Indiana gross income tax chief Le Roy Sanders says paying under protest is unnecessary because funds are still considered paid and the law allows for funds when tax is not due.

Local notices include social visits from Eva Johnson and others in Newcastle and Indianapolis.
