The ship subsidy graft is again before congress and several tx-members, temporarily out of a job, are camped in Washington working for it. Among these ex-members, it !s said, are Chas, B, I.andis and James E. Watson of Indiana. No member of congress who has any regard for his constituents or for his own future will vote for this absolutely indefensible measure. As the Indianapolis News says, '‘lt is going to be a pretty difficult thing for any congressman from this part of the country or farther west to justify his vote for the graft to the satisfaction of his constituents.” Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates, having monopolized steel, life insurance, railroads, telegraph, most of the money and a few other things, have now reached out and taken possession of the independent telephone service of Indiana and neighboring states. There are not now many kinds of business that can be carried on without the consent of the patriotic Mr. Morgan and the benevolent Mr. Rockefeller, but w'ben the central bank is established individual effort will be at an end outside of the wage and salary classes. As for the farmer, the price of his products will be fixed for him in some nice, cozy back office in New York and Chicago, and he can take it or leave It. NOT ALL GLORY. Is the Job of Being Poultry Association Secretary Says One. The glory of being secretary is hardly sufficient pay for the work that Is to be done. And then it Is not all glory. The secretary gets the blame for many things that are not his fault. Disappointed exhibitors often say harsh things about the secretary. He gets the hlame for delayed shipments of tbe express companies. If there Is no money to pay expenses the secretary catches it, though he has been doing his best to make ends meet. He is criticised if he spends too much money or not enough. Any one who has held the office for several years does not care to continue the performance. You can aid in making your show a success by being ready to help the secretary at all times. Often he Is obliged to leave more work go undone because he has not the time to do it. So let everybody lend a helping hand and make the coming poultry show a grand success. By one who "has been.” o There will be a special meeting of the fire company Wednesday evening, December 22nd, at 7 o’clock. Important business. L. C.

RABBITS PLENTIFUL ) ’ [ But Other Kinds of Game * is Scarce —Boy in South Adams.

One of the Jurors from the south part of I the county who was In town this morning stated that his son one day this week caught fourteen in two hours, which is quite the banner “bag” of the season, and from another source comes tbe report of the catch of slxtyflve made by two persons In a half 1 day. Aside from the sport furnished from this the material value of the catch Is not to be despißcd, especially ( at this time when pork seems to have taken wings. And those who have partaken of rabbit stews, or rabbi* cooked in quite the seasonable ways j known to good cooks, know that it forms a very tempting repast. The snow which has come today will no s doubt prove to be the winding-sheet I for many a poor bunny, as hunters at this season, when they have more leisure during the holidays, will be numerous. . -« —■ ■ - ON NEW YEAR’S DAY Winness Family Will Enjoy Reunion of Children and Grandchildren.
