Evangelist Bob Jones has just opened a four weeks' campaign in Hartford City and in doing so has tackled quite a Job, but then he has met tough jobs before. Why, he even worked in Bluffton.

The Clover Leaf division would sure help some, and the people of this community would appreciate the boost to business and prosperity. It would mean a great year for this city. Let 'er come! The Gary steel mills are now run ning full blast, even the rail mills, which have been closed for several months, opening today. The outlook for the year is brighter than it has been for several years and if the people will look for the bright side they can find it. Senator Ballou of Lagrange has introduced a bill to do away with party emblems and make each voter cast his ballot for each person for whom he wishes to vote. Now watch the republicans, who have talked independence in voting object to this proposition.

Some fine winter morning was tms, just the kind to make one feel like doing something worth while. If yon ha’ven’t the energy and the spirit to do things when the air is keen and the temperature just about right as i: was today, there is something wrong some where, and it's yitli you, and no bne else. Don’t blame it on to some one else, but hustle a little harder on your own accord. And now Senator Kern, democratic

floor leader, is to come to Indiana to speak to the legislators and even then it is doubtful if the law makers wi 1 be stampeded into passing the primary law. There is a real division of opinion on the question and there is much doubt as to whether a majority of the people of the state favor it or not, in fact many believe they would not. Why not let the people decide it? Miss Kariger, teacher in District No. 5, in Allen county, yesterday morning quietly told the children t > take their books and pass out of the building. A half hour later the building was in ruins, the teacher having noticed a small blaze, when she dismissed her school for the day. She was equal to the occasion and not a child was injured, not a book lost. Her work was deserving of the praise she is receiving, and proves again that heroes and heroines are often found at home.

Things to Forget. If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd, A leader of men, marching fearless and proud, And you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed, It’s a pretty good plan to forget it. Il you know of a skeleton hidden away In a closet and guarded, and kept from the day In the dark; and whose showing, whose sudden display Would cause grief and sorrow and life-long dismay, It’s a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know’ of a thing that will darken the joy Os a man or woman, a girl or a boy. That will wipe out a smile, or the least way annoy A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy, It’s a pretty good plan to forget it. —Woman’s National Daily.
