and a record for the session the best in history. The house will today practically dispose of every bill of importance and the senate is but a day or two behind them. The public utilities bill as it will go to the governor, will, it appears now, be the best in the nation, and many other measures of much importance will be on the statute books. The bills for increasing salaries and prolonging terms of office have been watched with care, which insures a desire to do things as they should be done and we believe the general verdict will be one of approval. Governor Ralston has vested two bills which would have been thoroughly objectionable—one, indeed, vicious—in their operation should they become laws. One is the Miechell bill reducing the penalty for burglary from the present range of ten to twenty years to a new scale of two to fourteen years. The other is the Isenbarger bill devised to compel county councils and boards of county commissioners to appropriate, on petition, money for premiums offered by county fairs or agricultural society displays. In both vetoes the governor was thor-1 oughly justified. The burglary bill would have contributed to the increase of crime in this state and the county fair bill would have saddled an additional 150.000 a year on the taxpaye~s of Indiana. The governor had no serious objection to reducing the minimum penalty for burglary from ten to two years, but he did have serious objection to lowering the maximum penalty by six years, or from twenty to fourteen. Many people went further than the governor in condemnation of the bill.—lndianapolis News. FOR SALE —Wagner motorcycle, with tandem, cheap.—Geo. Reinking, R. R. No. 8, Box 24. L 48t3

Doings in Society (Continued from Page 1) the game of progressive hearts was played. Prizes were won by Mrs. John Stewart, Mrs. W. R. Dorwin, and W. R. Dorwin and Hugh Hite.

There were biblical and mathematical contests to stimulate the mind and interest, and other games were also in order. Mrs. Rilling gave a very good reading entitled "The Home Department," being a chapter written by Timothy Standby. Refreshments wet e served and a general good time enjoyed. "The Seven Wonders of the Modern World,” were discussed by the His-

7 topical club Tuesday evening with 5 Mrs. S. D. Beavers leader, at the home ' of Mrs. Fred Schafer. The subject was rich in matter, and the sub-topics were interestingly discussed. The > study lengthened itself until the hour pointed to 9:30 o’clock, an unusually long lesson, every minute of which ■ was interesting. Miss Frances Dugan entertained the Tri-Kappa sorority at a pleasing little bridge party. Miss Naomi Dugan, a student at j Ferry hall, Lake Forest, 111., will be at home for her Easter vacation, the latter part of March. She will have as her guests, two school friends from Colorado.
