It's important! Those who figured a winter so mild that the ice merchants would fail to do business are now willing to remodel their prognottications, especial- ” ly if they walked a mile this morning without a cap or ear muffs. Col. Hawkins of the American Remount Service who was here today, declares that the horse will come back and will in a few years be as useful and popular as the days before the tractor and automobile became so common. He is an enthusiast and is doing a big work for the government. Eastern reports say that hundreds of factories which have been closed have announced that they will re-' open next Monday on full time bat i with a wage reduction of from five J to ten per cent.

United States is at Long Beach, Cal., , where they have 1,676 members. , i Europe is suffering tor wheat and bread and sugar and supplies of every kind. We have so much grain that 1 the prices have slumped, if we could i supply Europe the problems of each [ continent would be solved but Europa ; is broke and can't get out of the hole j until the peace treaty has been agreed Ito. In the meantime, congress murks 1 time as it has for two years and talks about a settlement of these great questions by aresolution. Every farm'j er, every laboring man, every business : man is paying for the narrow view ol ( the United States congress the past 1 two years. How long shall we stand for it, how long? 1 The railroads have decided not to 1 ask for further increases of rates. Thank the Lord. For several years applications for increases have been filed the day the commission allowed the old petition, but realizing the ' temper of the people just now, this I will cease at least temporarily. Reports show that the railroads made big money the past year and the div--1 idends will be fat. It will be good news when we hear of some public utility company asking for a decrease and why not. The public deserves honest treatment. They didn’t complain when you asked the increases because they thought your arguments good, but now it’s different and they | expect the corporations to be just as | fair as they were. David J. Dilling will retire this week from the board of county commissioners after six years of splendid service. He has given his very best efforts to the job of taking care lof the interests of the county, has been an honest as well as an efficient I public servant and has performed ; the ardous duties during a time when ■ the difficulties were numerous and - often complicated. He deserves the congratulations and thanks of the public and w>e believe he has that whether expressed or not. Mr. Ernst I Conrad, one of the well known and substantial farmers of Root township will succeed Mr. Dilling and will faithfully look after the important acairs of the office.

’ The commissioners will name the < ' hospital board at a meeting to be ' J held next Monday. The hospital is , a county institution and the interests of the citizens of each part of the county should be protected by 1 the appointment of members thus located geographically. The women I too should be recognized and these I facts will we are sure be taken into 1 consideration by the members of the ) board. The appointments are not ) only honorary but most important for 1 these citizens will superintend the s construction of a very important pubs lie building and consequently the ext penditure of a large sum of money. • We predict that the board will use s excellent judgment in their select tions and that the appointments will I be entirely satisfactory to the public. I — Leave is Granted of recent development in the science 3 of road construction as it is now prac- ( ticed, and the still later development . of automotive and transport engineerj ing, there are no up-to-date textbooks . for use in colleges and technical schools. Several large governmental and industrial agencies have agreed • to supply data for such books from • their experience. I It is expected that Professor Til- , den's work ultimately will lead to the formation of a comprehensive program of education for highway and highway 1 transport engineers which will insure • an adequate supply of technically i trained young men to fill the ranks of 3 the growing branches of the engineering profession. Well Fitted for Place. 1 Professor Tilden is eminently fitted for the position to which he has been appointed. He is an engineer and i educator of recognized ability. He graduated from Harvard university in 1896. with the degree of Bachelor of Science, and received the honororary degree if Master of Arts from Yale in > 1919. From 1901 to 1903 he was asi sistant engineer of the New York Rapid Transit commission. He resigned the position to become an educator at Cornell university, where he was an ' instructor in civil engineering from 1 1903 to 1905. Later he became coni nected with the University of Mich- , igan, where he rose to the professorship if engineering mechanics, the position which he occupied in 1913, when he was called to the chair of civil engineering at Johns Hopkins university. After five years as the head of the civil engineering department of that university, he resigned to become professor of engineering mechanics at Yale. Professor Tilden is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was one if the original members ot the highway and Highway Transport Education committee, of which he now becomes the director. REVIVAL CONTINUES On account of sickness in his family, Rev. J. I. Moore who was holding the revival meetings at Antioch was called to his home. The meetings will be continue i by the Rev. Jacob Sumney of Fort Mayne.
