Coal prices are advancing and the scheme seems to be working out just the way the coal operators expected and wanted it to. They are reducing stocks and selling their goods at a higher price. And the people stand for it. John Tyndall for congress means a real fighting man for the most ini ( portant place in the nation today. ■ We need a congress made of men who can and will do things for the people i and not every thought and deed for a 1

favored few. John W. Tyndall will be on of the speakers at the Bluffton meeting this evening and where they hear him and meet him he will secure a handsome vote. He is the right kind of a man to send to congress and after he is there will devote every minute of* his time to the interests of the people of this district. He is not wild eyed but a farmer and business man with the good common sense needed al this time. He should be nominate: in the coming primary. The tariff on hides as put on by tinproposed bill now in congress will cos* the American buying public a hundred and ffity million dollars a year am will do nobody any good except the manufacturer. It will increase the retail prices of shoes, harness am' other leather goods and the National Shoe Retailers Association are fighting it as hard as they can. The hesj thing for the farmer is to have flic” things done which decreases his mar ket and not by boosts in prices which take away from him a slight increase in the raw products. Don’t forget we are going to havt a CLEAN-UP week from May Ist t< May 6th and that every citizen is ex pected to have the yard raked up, the rubbish placed where the trucks can pick it up easily and don't stop there A little paint and a little et fort will make your property double in value, especially if we all do it It pays to keep clean and it pays not only in looks but in results. Healthy communities are always clean and we pride ourselves that this is a first class, healthy community. Remember what we said at the Yeoman meeting the other night? Now lets make it so. The dates are May Ist to May 6th. ••' ■ Over at South Bend a man named Pockus, a confessed bootlegger was given a sij months sentence which it will take him nearly two years to serve. He has a wife and seven children and in order that he may provide a living for them Judge Ducomb has ordered that he be relieved from his work each Friday evening and report to the sheriff, remaining in jail until Monday morning. He must do this week after week until the six months time has been served, requiring twenty two months. This will prevent him putting in his time over Sundays making moonshine or peddling wod alcohol. It's a new idea in dealing out justice but seems right sensible.

Governor Ralston favors a better foreign market and there is no doubt he is on the right track to bring real prosperity. • Instead of a high tariff wall which stops industries and makes every nation in the world feel a hatred for this country we should be deverting our efforts to securing ,a market which ‘vill take care of our surplus production. That's what makes better prices for the farmer's crops.

1 ns well us for the moat other products of this great nation. We will never have real healthy prosperity under present plans and Mr. Ralston says so , in u forceful and logical manner. He ‘ 4s also right in his charges of the waste of money in the state and he knows whut be is talking about for be served four years as governor.

After a period of indifference dur ug which immense wealth in native hardwoods—the finest in the world—was cut owning to commercial de mands for Indiana hardwoods, the veople at last realize that one of oui state’s greatest resources is near ex haustion. In addition to lack of tim ber, underground water tables are re -.eding, floods are more farequent- foi 'ack of checks at the headwaters, soil wash and erosion common and lanf heretofore fertile, is now unproductive i Added to this it has cost the people of this state more than a million dollart a year in freight rates to obtain the ' needed timber from forests of dis ferent states. 1 Pure prodigality and selfish inter •’sts to acquire fabulous riches through sacrifice of nature's greatest endow ! ments brought about this deplorable , tondition. Whereas the state’s 22,- ! 900,000 acres formerly grew gigantic forest trees, today we learn we have less than 22,000,000 acres in growing timber much of which is on only me- ‘ diocre quality. s Potential forest lands lie chiefly in 3 the southern part of the state. It is t estimated whole counties could more profitable grow trees, owing to the 1 rough topography, than to follow agri 8 culture or dairying. sa — ■ IN GOOD BOOKS Ig I Is Found Most Satisfactory s Form of Recreation from Birth to Old Age

WITH GREAT MINDS All Classes are Brought into Contact—Library Week April 23-29 Education, recreation, inspiration—these are the three points touched by the trangle of Public Library service.

Education—The Pilule Library is a great extension university. Comparatively few people in Indiana ever attend college and the Library gives them a chance (or a college education. It offers oortunlty along special lines. Recreation—Most satisfactory form of recreation is to l>e found in good books. Through them we can travel in (ar countries, meet interesting aud entertaining people and have new and varied experiences. We need never be deprived ot legitimate recreation through lack of money. We can have

the recreation suited to our own development and intelligence whereas according to D. W. Griffith, motion picture producer, all moving picture proI ductions are made to appeal to the average intelligence of nine years. The Library furnishes recreation from birth through old age. Inspiration—Through books we come in contact with the great minds of all ages. No matter what our surroundings. no matter how limited our lives, we may always have the inspiration -of boks. “Books are food to eat, books i are air to breathe, light for eyes, a path for the feet and a hand to clasp i in the dark.” I • !

DOES LIBRARY PAY Question Probably Asked by Several Citizens of the State in Year' AN OCCASIONAL CALL Will Convince Anyone of (wood It Does for Individ’ ual and Community Does the Public Library pay? There is always somebody, ot course to ask that question. Probably it is somebody who has never stood beside the library desk on a busy Saturday afternoon in winter and watched a queue of eager children waiting for "Tom Sawyer" or "Little Women" or "Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Surely he has never listened to the profound sigh of satisfaction that comes when a book fs properly recorded and its proud possessor retires to a convenient corner to enjoy It. Or surely he has never had occasion to telephone the library to learn the population of Canton, Pennsylvania, or the age of Warren G. Harding, or he hasn’t a wife who spends industrious hours among the books on philosophy writing a club paper on the ethics of Spinoza, or a high school son or daughter who rushes to the library with the other members of the Freshman English class to look up “that stuff Miss So-and-So said we simply had to have by Wednesday." Most people who use the library are agreed that it pays when it comes to service. But does it pay financially? Isn't it after all a needless luxury? Well, let’s figure it up. Just suppose that we in our town should tire of the cost of supporting a library and should agree to put in each man's pocket the amount a year that the library had cost and spend it on books for himself. He could have for this amount just one good book a year as present prices run and in the course of a lifetime he might acquire a library of forty or fifty volumes. It would take five or ten years to obtain the benefit of a good dictionary and more than a whole lifetime to purchase a first class encyclopedia. To have what he now has in the Public Library would cost him more than a thousand times what the library now- costs him, or in other words the library is multiplying a thousand fold the value of his proportion of cost. Where else can you find an investment that yields one thousand per cent? So instead of being an extravagance the library represents the most astonishing bit of economy to be found in the entire range of his expenditures or investments. In reality the city truly guilty of extravagance is the one that inadequately supports its library and forces numbers of people to go without the benefits of desired reading or to pay for that reading from 'ten to fifty to a thousand times what it would cost them if provided in their library. Indiana Library Week, April 2329 designated by Governor Warren T. McCray for special observance in libraries all over the states is the time for figuring up the liabilities and assets of your own Public Library. Just figure a bit and see if your figuring is not almost entirely id the “asset” column. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SUNDAY The play to be given by the young people of the St. John's congregation will be on Thursday, Friday and Sunday evenings, “Where the Turns' is the title of the production, and the young people are deserving of a large patronage. AT MAJESTIC TONIGHT AND FRIDAY Frank McGlynn and a majority of the players who will come with him in John Drinkwater's play “Abraham Lincoln” have been with the production since the first American performance and they will all be seen here when William Harris, Jr. sends the great drama to the Majestic Theater, Ft. Wayne, Friday and Saturday. April 21-22, with matinee Saturday. It is well to note that there is only one company of “Abraham Lincoln” on tour.

SAGE TEA KEEPS . YOUR HAIR DARK It’s Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color, Youthfulness and Lustre—Everybody is using it Again. Gray hair, however, handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth's Sege and Sulphur Compound," which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappars; after another application or two. its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous and you appear years younger.
