Entered at the postoffloe at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter Lloyd George is planning a new league of nations and why not? A lot of other fellows have tried it and George has away of putting things over when he starts. He insists that any association which makes good must include every nation and that sounds reasonable. He < proposes to include Germany and , Russia and to deal with them as partners instead of as enemies. That’s the only way real peace will ever come and until we have that, pros- I perity and happiness is only going to be a thing talked about. When Will Hays begins his new j job with the picture industry, his life is to be insured for two million j dollars as a protection for the Na tional Association which is to pay him a salary of >150,000 per year. A fellow who is so valuable to his employers that they put that much insurance on his life is some guy and I Hilly has sure made a leap. A few ! years ago he was an ordinary country I lawyer at Sullivan, Indiana. Now ; he becomes the highest paid em- j ployee in the United States, through ; a combination of ability and come ! 1 lucky breaks. : 1 1 Beveridge stock has taken a boost , since it is officially announced the postmaster generalship will be <<fer- r ed to Senator New. The latter says he is still a candidate for re-election but the wise ones think he will not take the chances of nomination and 1 election this year when indications ' for a big slump is so apparent. If f he takes the P. O. job it is a safe bet * that Beveridge announces his candi- . dacy and it also seems fairly settled ( that none of those so far mentioned t could head him off, in fact there are E

a good many who think Albert J. could give New a real battle in the primary. Any way Beveridge stock has taken a big boost the past week. We don’t see why the profeßsor couldn’t have kept it to himself about 50 years longer. Here we are trying to be happy and hopeful and he comet; along and tells us —well, just listen to what this Yale professor telle ns. He says that either the earth's rale of rotation is slowing down or the moon is moving faster. The result is that each year wo gain one-thou-sandeth of a second of daylight, and that when the world in 360,(W years older than it is now, each of our precious nights will b<s one second shorter. The year 1921 was full of disappointing and discouraging things. But it is tough to have a blow like this fall at the beginning of a new year. But be of good cheer —maybe after all the professor is wrong. Maybe it will be 366.00<) years before we begin to lose that precious second of time every night. The month is half over.

Util.. -I .’"■V Some people may have been too busy a few weeks ago to make New Year resolutions, or they might not have had time to frame a set of good resolutions to guide them through this year. For their convenience, and believing they will appreciate them, we have prepared the following, which we suggest as a code worth posting up where you can see it several times each day: 1 will smile at least once a day—and twice on Sunday. 1 will make my family happy, because a happy family will add to my happiness. I will love myself less and my neighbor more. I will plant a tree, a few shrubs—and a lot of good deeds. I will not kick unless I know what I am kicking about. I will subscribe for my home town paper—read it —and see that it is always paid for at least one year ahead. ■ ■ -a - —- “INSIDE OF THE CUP,” RIG PICTURE, EXPOSES HYPOCRISY Specially Supervised by Albert Capell. 1 ani Photoplay is Based on Winston Churchill's Great Novel. Said to be one of the most remarkable picture productions of the cur j rent season, “The Inside of the Cup,” a Paramount-Cosmopolitan plcturiza- > tion of Winston Churchill's famous ■ novel, will be shown at the Crystal ; •hoatre for two days beginning Tues day. , When this book was published in 1913, its exposure of hypocrisy among wealthy churchgoers, provoked bitter r'.ticism by the clergy of England and j this country. The hero of the story . as is the picture, is the Rector of a fashionable church, who becomes dis- J guested with certain elements of his , flock and severely arraigns them for ' their shame and hypocrisies. Director Albert Capellani, however, , has paid more attention to the dra- < malic features of the story than to the philosophy which makes the book : almost unforgettable. The scenes are thrilling and the heart appeal cul- ■ minuting in thef ruition of a love ro- ■ mance. is irresistable. The cast, headed by William P. Carleton and ; Edith Hallor, is unusually large and artistic. I
