Naughty burglars broke into the home of Maurice Rothchild, Chicago, bound the three servants, and deliberately stole *60,000 worth of wines and liquors. Terrible, but Maurice will receive little sympathy, for most will declare that he had no business with Such a corner on booze. The first candidate to announce in Huntington county is a woman, who asks to have the republican nomination for clerk. Wells county has two lady candidates and in many counties they are announcing now. State; committees are urging that women be named on central committees and that they take their full part in the political game of which they are now a part. Mellon says no bonus, but Mellon ’ don't have to go to the people and ask the soldiers to vote for him. Congress says a bonus bill must be passed and i they won’t stop until it’s put over, i Some think that it will all result in some kind of a bonus bill, which Mellon will refuse to enforce on the grounds that it isn’t good business. Too many of different opinions in authority to get far these days. It is announced that the national re- ‘ publican committee owes something i over seven hundred thousand dollars ( and that the usual producers are not , coining across in a very pleasant or i liberal manner, claiming that promises have not been made good with them 1 and this happens just when Billy Hays, according to his own statement, is ( leaving politics for good and all, and , Bill has been the best money-getter ever put out. ■ .■ Wise old birds like Senator New no doubt know just how to play the game of politics but those outside, at least many of them, think they are doing about the worst thing for their cause

To permit the state commit tee to practically endorse one capdl- ' date for the noniiuaUon for senator is I as sure to make a party break as anyi thing they can do and they will find 1 voting in Indiana this year very dit- ) ferunt from two years ago. Senator New says he will go to the mat oa a straight issue of supporting the administration, and if they don't find that a mighty unpopular thing to put over, we miss our guess, formed by talking to men of various political faith. When Beveridge tears loose you will hear something and then after it’s over the democrats will nominate a winner for November. Politics and prohibition appear to have little affinity. A heated stir in Pennsylvania is now followed by a situation in Massachusetts. Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair has designated the removal from that state of Harold P. Wilson, prohibition enforcement supervisor, to another field of activity. Mr. Wilson is strongly disinclined to give up and depart, conceiving that the change planned for him is a gross and undeserved reflection upon his official conduct. And unmis takably it is. Supervisor Wilson has proceeded upon the principle that prohibition means prohibition and he has given his zealous endeavor to achievement of that purpose in his bailiwick. Some weeks since a raid In a leading hotel ‘in Boston brought Supervisor Wilson and his booze sleuths upon a distinguished party of gentlemen dining and otherwise refreshing themselves. The supervisor enforced the law and the consequences were painful. He blames Senator Lodge and other statesmen and politicians for the prejudice that now finds occasion againt him.—Fort Wayne Press. * HARD ON THE BOOT LEGGERS Is there a new disease among us since prohibition and the vogue of >ating for health? “An apple a day keeps the doctors away" is a slogai popularized by national advertising Following close on its heels was th< drive made by the raisin growers of the Pacific coast, who have been edu eating the public up to eating raisins for what ailed them and didn’t ail them. The more recent campaign tc make yeast in edible form popular is still with us. ( It was a combination of the two la'tter that has been responsible for the coining of a name for a new disease. A young lady of Stillwater, Minn., hat been a consistent consumer of raisins since her childhood. Recently, to im prove her complexion, she began eating yeast in cake form. When the yeast diet reached the stage of three cakes a day it conflicted with her raisin diet and the combination caused her to visit the family physician.

The symptoms complained of were a slight feeling of elation that was becoming more pronounced each moment. The doctor diagnosed the case as intoxication, but on inquiry found that no liquor had been consumed Further inquiry and diagnosis brought out the fact that fermentation had begun inside the young lady from Stillwater, and going on in the way it did, alcohol of sufficient quantity to intoxicate her was the result. She Is continuing her diet, but does not eat rasins and yeast at the same time. Here is a good chance for the writers of limericks to tell what hapened. The first line is furnished free, as follows: “There was a young lady from Stillwater.” Fill it out to suit. Wouldn’t Exchange With Millionaire "After five years of suffering with stomach trouble I think 1 know all about it. But thanks to Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, I am now enjoying good health again. 1 know of a millionaire who is very bad with stomach trouble, but he wouldn't take any patent medicine. In his present condition I wouldn’t exchange with him.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically, all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including apendicltis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For gale by Holthouse prug company and druggists everywhere. Dick Whinger, France Conter and , Harold Kirsch went to Fort.

THINKING OF THE HOME CHURCH I can see the lights of the church house Shining through the wintry frost, ( can hear the church bell ringing And the choir will soon be singing Sweet songs of the cross. I can see the parson in the pulpit As he preaches the gospel there. And can hear the brothers and sisters As they offer up their prayer. Yes, these brothers and sisters Are bearing onward with the cross, Praying and pleading for the sinners To come to Jesus, ere they are lost. Yes, these dear brothers and sisters Who have prayed day after day, Have rejoiced when souls were won for Jesus, . But have sorrowed if one went astray. May God blegs these faithful worship pers, ,Vtio have toiled on with the cross, \.nd when their life’s work is ended May He say, “Well done, tiiout art not lost." (Composed by D. A. Winan, Cando North Dakota; formerly of Pleasant Mills, Ind.) TEST SUGAR-BEET SEED IN FLORIDA FOR PURITY Because of the heavy losses experi meed by beet sugar companies during he past two years through the pres ance of mange) wurzel, or stock beet seed in the imported sugar-beet seed, the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United State? Department of Agricul ‘.ure is making growing tests of sam pies of such seeds this winter. Te tests are being made in Florida in the open air. Lots of imported seed have been sent by beet-sugar companies for testing. When any of these samples are found to contain stock beet seed, the senders will be notified before planting time. Similar tests made in the greenhouses during the past year made possible the locution of the mixtures containing stock beets of red or orange colored varieties. It has been found that white-fleshed varieties of stock beets cannot be determined through germination tests alone but must be grown to a considerable size before their distinguishing characteristics are discernable. That the heavy losses experienced during the past two years due to this cause constitute a strong argument for the development of an American-grown supply of sugar-beet seed sufficient for the needs of our beet industry, is the belief of the officials working on the problem.

SPORT NEWQ 1 ti ■ ■ Basketball In Indiana 4 (By Heze Clark—Written for the J United Press) • Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 36— (Special ) to Daily Democrat) —With more than . 600 high school, twenty-three college and hundreds of Independent basketball team* in Indiana this year it is l interesting to note the style of offense 1 and defense. : The game of basketball, introduced in Indiana thirty years ago, has grown i not only in the way of attracting largI er crowds and in more teams being or- ’ gauixed each year, but the science of ' the game has kept pace with the ini creased interest. The five-man de- ■ sense has become popular and the ’ coaches of thia stubborn style is such as to tax any team to break j through for close-up shots. That is ■ true providing the team that happens 1 to be on the defense is almost equal 1 to the opponents in experience, size and speed. However,, .speed and ' brains count for more than size in basketball. Some coaches favor the short passing game as has been developed at Wisconsin university, while others still cling to the long passing style of play. Others “mix 'em up" and shoot both long and short passes in their assorts to work the ball to within hit.ing distance of the goal. To say one style of offense is better than another is a mistake. It all depends on the style of players a basketball and short passes on offense is trouble with using a combination of ’.ong and short asses on an offense is hat the different speed at which it is □ecessary to pass the ball sometimes tauses fumbling and many shots for the goal are lost. Os course the long passing game always has the drawback of the possibility of the pass beng intercepted. However, that drawback is found in all styles of offense., With the five-man defense spread put in front of it the team that happens to have the ball sometimes works the ball up to the opponent in the center of the floor either by dribbling or passing, and then the man with the ball pivots and passes the ball back of him to a team mate who is trailing. He in turn does the same until in opening is found and one player slips down the floor or possible three flayers go down the floor fast and one s open for a pass and gets a chance to shoot for the basket. This style of ittack is much favored. It requires ill five men on the offense just as such as it requires five men on the defense, the way the game is played by well-coached teams. While the back guard may not wander far down the floor still he is always alert not just to break up opponent’s attack by covering a forward or intercepted pass, but he exects his own teammates to pivot and pass the ball back to him when they find their path down the floor blocked by an opponent. The day of a man loafing in the corner of the court and waiting for a pass that he might slip in a shot or sneak in back of the guard is gone. It requires five men both on offense and defense to play basketball successfully.. Os course the different teams use various styles of five-man defense, but as a rule it is similar. . FOUR GAMES TONIGHT With the first team of the local high school scheduled for a battle at Kendallville this evening the local 1 fans will not be without their regular Friday game as four big games 1 have been scheduled at the Athletic ‘ hall tonight-. The big program will be called at 6:30 o’clock sharp the ' first prelimjnary being staged be--1 tween the Dogs and Cats, or two i teams made up of local high school ! players. The second game will be ■ staged at 7:30 o'clock between the ■ St. Joe high school five and the Fisher & Harris team of the Industrial league. Both teams are evenly matched and a good battle is predicted. The feature preliminary of the evening will be called at 7:45 o’clock between the local high school varsity girls and the Bryant high school girls and a good game is expected.
