Democrats in the legislature and in congress should devote their efforts not to playing politics, but to securing legislation of benefit to their constituents. For six years we have had nothing but politics and the people want relief from high taxes and a government that is costing several times what it should. Those who vote for proposed laws which lower taxes and create better markets will have the support of the folks at home. Not to be outdone by' South Bend, Brunswick and all the other places over the country, including Hollywood, Huntington now has a murder mystery. Mrs. Thomas Clark and son were found murdered, their heads' crushed and evidence points to the husband and father as the fiend. A note left by him when he disappeared, connects several prominent Huntington business men with the affair and “Tbe Ggar With A LoilSCiCfiCC , White Stag JHidres I < Cigar 8c 2 for 15c Ask your dealer for it.

it has all the climaxes of a real mystery. Senator Newberry indignantly denies that he will resign his seat in the senate. Well then, there is but one thing left for Senator Ferris when he assumes office —to make good on his campaign promise. Mr. Newberry admits spending a fortune equal to about twenty times the annual salary of his office. Compare that with the $4,000 spent by Samuel M. Rais ton in this state and you will have some idea of just why people think something ought to be done and ft will be. President Harding will make every effort to push through the ship subsidy with the hope that eventually they will repay the government in some manner. He declares his belief that the people will be for it when they understand it and he will make a big fight to put it over. He says it's not a partisan measure, though it entered considerably in the recent election campaign. They have a queer way of figuring the desire of the people by an election and we doubt that they will be able to convince the public that it's a good thing to almost donate the ships to the trust and then vote them a subsidy of $75,000,000 a year. Decatur will welcome the visit here next Thursday of Mr. Farmer and Mr. McKee and the tone of their letters today indicate they are still very much interested in this community. We believe they will eventually decide that this is the finest spot in all the United States for their proposed home and school for children and we hope the visitors will be further convinced when they come next Thursday. That they will be given a hearty welcome and the* same sincere proof of the deep feelings of our people for the great project in which they are inter - ested, we do not doubt for a moment. They have a big task and a har3 one. but the fact remains that Decatur is one of the few very best sites they have found. The Chicago Tribune has issued a volume called "The W. G. N.,” why h initials stand for World’s Greatest Newspaper, the Tribune’s modest claim for itself. The book deals with the history and development of the Tribune. The story describes each department of the paper in such manner that the reader almost feels as if he had made a visit to the plant. The publication is intended to advertise the Chicago Tribune, and in that it succeeds, out aside from being well written, the advertising is of value to any student of journalism or any one interested in stories of progress.—lndianapolis News. Meaning, of course, any student with the McCormick millions back of him. Conducting a newspaper when costs do not have to enter is considerably different than operating one at a profit and building it at the same time to be of the greatest good to the community it serves. The little boy comes racing through the house with a lot of slang which so amazes th e father and mother that it

■ takes a tew minutes for them to understand what has happened. Inquiry as to where the child acquired such • outlandish language generally la not ' satisfactory. Somebody else said such > and such a thing, he declares, and i child-like he repeats it. It always has 1 been one of the remarkable things • to parents that a boy or girl never re--1 members what a parent says about doing this or that, but invariably re i members some slang expressions which playmates use. Where do these ' playmates acquire the use of such ; words? Generally from their parents, t and the boys and girls in one family are not very much different from the boys and girls in other families. The child mind is quick to grasp something with which parents do not want it to become acquainted. The more reason, therefore, why conversation around the house .should be most discreet. Half the things a baby boy ot girl mean nothing to the child. They do not understand that they have said anything wrong, especially if they have heard it first from a mother ’or father. They are great imitators —these children. They are i mirrors, as it were, reflecting everything that touches their young lives. — Dayton News. • DOINGS IN SOCIETY ♦ »**♦****♦«***«* CLUB CALENDAR Fridayy D. Y. B. class of U. B. Sunday.
