IF YOU BUY OUT OF TOWN AND 1 WE BUY OUT OF TOWN AND ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS BUY OUT OF TOWN WHAT IN THUNDER WILL BECOME OF OUR TOWN.—EVER 1 THINK ABOUT IT? Whats the use to worry about the national debt w-hen there are real problems. The woman of today doesn t wear half as much clothes as she did ten years ago and yet it costs twice as much to dress her as it did then. What will another ten years do, take J off or put on? Those who have subscribed to the fund for sending presents and food to 1 the suffering Belgians ought to feel happy when they read the account of the joy those gifts are bringing to the people of that land.. This city should i and no doubt will contribute. A movement is on to start a campaign for that purpose immediately after Christmas. —r Through the Muncie Star the'people of eastern Indiana have raised enough J money for the shipment of 493 barrels of flour for the starving Belgians The first shipment of 205 barrels was < made from Portland Saturday.

> an opinion can be given Intelligently ■ It might be well to hear both aide*. ! The last general assembly had a large . number of employes, too many no 1 doubt and if this action causes the law makers to get down to business and operate with as few employees as possible and those selected for their t.billty, the work of the grand jurors will have been worth while, no differ once what their motive. The excuse that other legislatures did likewise is perhaps not well taken though it seams rather queer that this Jury called fcr an entirely different purpose should strike upon this method of answaring the call and then too why the discrimination? If these men are guilty why not indiet all the other members and officials of the two houses? [tassssxsaaacsffiffisassassk poiNmN soaen J WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday. Research Club —Mrs. E. S.
