This should give the publicity man a rest for a few days. Superintendent Worthman gave the crowd at the opening basket ball game last evening a talk on clean sportsmanship which was well received and was timely. Interest in sports is one thing but when caaried to that point where a questionable decision means the breaking up of a game its time to start, over. Representative Keller, a republican from Minnesota is demanding that Attorney General Daugherty be impeached and has filed fourteen serious charges against him/ Chief Justice Taft, a former president has been named as one of the witnesses to support the charges, a fine mess for the administration and one which may cause them much trouble before it’s over. Just one darn thing after another. Herbert Hoover says Mr. Harding will be renominated for president. Lafollette and a number of others say he won’t be and that the progress sives will control. Rumblings indicate a split wider than in 1912 for the truth is there is greater differences of opinion, between the standpatters and progressives than between republicans and democrats. There’s g’win be some political fun the next couple of years. The force at the General Electric is to be increased to four hundred and twenty-five this month and the plant pushed to its capacity of four thousand motors per week. Swamped with, orders the factory is going full tilt and the prospects are very bright. The industry is one of the best in this part of the state, a mode! plant and a great institution for any city. They deserve and are receiving the heartiest support from this community which is the right way to build. —m————— Indian summer weather is here and is of fine quality, following a few

of the joy of the occasion. Os course the Bluffton papers take advantage of the fracas at the foot ball field here Thanksgiving and in 'ong and blood curdling stories tell of the “terrible riot” in which Mr. Rippe is alleged to have narrowly >scaped with his life. Os course the Bluffton gentleman was never in serious danger and had he not argued a half hour with a lot of boys be would not have had to make his grandstand automobile escape to Monroe. Mr. Geller returned here last evening and refereed the basket ball game with Kendallville, was giv-' n fifteen rahs before the game start’d and there was never a dispute. That Mr. Rippe’s decision was out of his jurisdiction is not denied though f course this was not a warrant for he display of temper. Bluffton hreatens to throw Decatur out of

lie state conference and they can 'erhaps do so if they tell stories as ar from the truth as the articles pubished in the papers of that town. Such action however will avail them 'nit little. The Decatur sports are as *5003 as are found any where and are similar to those of Bluffton. They lose gracefully unless there is cause or objection and then they kick and we have found that true about every where. Unfortunately the local teams have been the "goat” in several episodes and though not to blame to a great extent, may be chastised. Bluffton’s "tell ma" attitude is not just what a lot of people would call such high grade sportsmanship. Opening Game Os Net Season Won By Locals (Continued from Page One) score of 20 to 8, in the third game of the evening. The local boys fought hard but were no match for their opponents, and three field goals and two from the foul line were the sum total of their work. With more practice, however, they should make a great improvement. The lineup and summary of the second team game was as follows: Decatur 8 Kirkland Twp. 20 Beal F Corson Cline F Yager Farr C Ernst Miller G Shady Shackley G Saulbine Substitutions: Decatur «— Beavers for Cline, Urich for Farr, Chase for" Urich, Titus for Chase, Urich for Miller; Kirkland township—Burley for Saulbine.

r~ G. E. Factories To Be Joined Up By Radio That the Ft. Wayne works Jf tne General Electric company may be linked with the other unit* of the company by mnaim of radio communication looms as the possible result of experiment-' which have been conducted here during the past few days. The experiments, it is understood, contemplate the establishment of radio communication as a iqcuus of transacting business bet ■ ecu the plants, and if successful it is 'thought the radio Rations will supplant the regular telegraph st .(tions. Hairy Sadenwater, radio expert of lhA company witn offices at Schenectady. N. Y.. was in this city Tuesday mJ Wednesday and conducted experiments from a station on the roof of the Anthony hotel. Just what may be the result of the experiments officials of the local plant are unable to say, inasmuch as Mi. Sadenwater has not made a report of his work here, but it is generally believed that the efforts of the company along this line anticipate the use of radio to supplant telegraph communications, and it is believed

the radio stations can be made to serve the company much cheaper ' than the ordinary methods. Mr. Sadenwater, who conducted the local experiments, was radio operator on the U. S. Navy seaplane NC-1, which figured in the first attempt made by navy planes to cross the Atlantic. If the experiments of the G. E. company are productive of the desired results, and if the station is established 'here, the local electric works will probably be the first industry in Fort Wayne to make commercial use of radio. It may be some time, however, before the actual results of the experiments will be made known. —Ft. Wayne Jourual-Gazette. Eno Lankenau, manager of the local G. E. plant has not been advised if the Decatur works w’ill be hooked up with the radio broadcasting station as proposed above. — o Attendance Officers Plan To Hold More Meetings

The first of a series of meetings of attendance officers was held Wednes day, Nov. 29th, at the office of the Wells county officer. The purpose of these meetings is for exchanging ideas and suggestions for better school at tendance. The attendance districts representmeeting were Adams County by G. H. Meiuanama; Allen county by Mr. Baldwin; Huntington county by I. L. Fisher; City of Huntington by Mrs. Dessie M. Potts, Blackford coun f'ossie M. Potts; Blackford coun ty by H. L. Kegerreis; Jay county by Mr. Collins, and Wells county by T. C. Irvin. The meeting was in order of Round Table discussion. Some of the topics being discussed were: 1. Plans of visiting schools and homes. 2. Handling of chronic cases of non-attendance and tardiness. 3. Reporting of absence to officer. 4. Method of keeping records. 5. Difficulties in obtaining immediate admission to feeble minded schools. 6. Handling cases of physical and mental dificiency. 7. Advantages of vacations! train- , ing. Huntington already has vocation- . al training for extreme cases. 8. Cooperation of parents, teachers and school officials. The second meeting will be held i some time during December and Miss ' Merry, State Attendance Officer, will probably be preesnt. Officers of each district expressed ! themselves as having been benefited l , by the discussions and w'ere anxious to have the meetings continued and ' officers were elected.

Mrs. Pulaski took charge of the Tiernan house during the time when Tiernan was reported to have eloped with Mrs. Brimmer and refused to let . either of the Tiernans talk with newspapermen. On Thanksgiving day. however, Tiernan told the United Press over the telephone that he was very much in love with Mrs. Brimmer. “She is a regular woman,” he said. “She smokes cigarettes and everyj thing.” Mfs.l yritjimdr .was reported ,on the, . way from lowa to Chicago to fight for j the freedom of her "husband.” Tiernan declared that he had signed . a« contract with a New York concern , to make a. lecture tour.

Liberalize Anti-Trust » Law, Says Mr. Hoover > Washington. Dec. 2.—Liberalization ; of the Sherman anti-trust law and 1 supplementary “restraint of trade • acts” to enable co-operative organixa- • tions, as distinguished from capital > consolidations, to be legally formed, is : advocated by Secretary of Commerce i Hoover, in his annual report, parts of which wer« made public today. i Hoover's plan for legally sanctioning such co-operative ventures, together with bis arguments in its favor as set forth in his report, follows: “it has often been argued that the original intent of the restraint of trade acts was not to inhibit any sort of economic collective action which was in interest of public welfare, and that the time has come when the act should be limited so as to leave free all such action. “Without entering upon debate as to the difficulties of such a course it is possible to consider a narrower field of liberalization of law; that is, for the law to be liberalized to the extent that co-operative organizations generally, as distinguished from capital consolidations, should be permitted to file with some appropriate governmental agency the plan of their pperations, the functions they proposed to carry on, and the objectives they proposed to reach; that upon approval such of these functions as did not apparently contravene public interest might be proceeded with; that upon complaint, however, either of individuals or the law officers of the government that these functions had reacted against public interest, then after a hearing before some suitable tribunal the right to continue these (unctions should, if the complaints are justified, be suspended. “If thereafter these functions were continued or if it should be proved that the activities had been extended beyond the functions in the original proposals, the organization should be likewise subject to prosecution under the present acts. Parties who did not wish to avail themselves of this privilege could continue in the present status. “All who know the situation in such matters will realize that the problems if co-operative action are mainly the

concern of the smaller businesses. Such a measure as that suggested above will help the small merchant.” Says Teach Sex To Parents, Not Children Chicago, Dec. 2. —Sex instruction for parents, not children, is the solution to the modern morals problem. The Chicago school board, with this :dea in mind, will hold night schools in morality and sex hygiene for the mothers and fathers of school children. Several trustees of the board of iducation will conduct the night •lasses and carry to the parents the iroblems of sex hygiene, whid) they n turn are expected to convey to their children through individual instruction in the home. Sex matters cannot be taught properly to school children except by their parents. Dr. Boleslaus Klarkowski, trustee of the school board and father of the plan, declared. “Sex instruction should begin at home and not at school,” said Klarkowski. The night classes will be conducted in fifty different community eenters. Members of the board who will direct the sex. lectures include Dr. Klarkowski Dr. John Dill Robertson and Dr. Sadie Bay Adair. The teachings will include frank discussions of the younger generation's morals, according to Dr. Klarkowski. "Parents will be taught to show their children the real meanipg of sex, and to bring them up in an atmosphere that will compel right living,” he said. “Instead of talking about moral qualities, parents should sec that their children's lives are first dominated by a spirit of right living in the home. Many parents try to frighten their children into righteousness with threats of the dire result of sex indiscretions. The child should be taught the meaning of true love, which comes from self control.” HARD CIDER FOR LONG WINTER Saranac Lake, N. Y., Dec. 2.—Adirondack folk are taking no chances of being caught without any beverage when the depp snows close the roads leading to Canada to motor traffic and the roar of the rum runner’s car will no longer be heard throughout the mountains. Adirondack cider mills report the greatest volume of business on record. There will be few homes even in the most remote sections of the big woods that will not have .at , least ji .few: gallons‘of cider io/ the long winter evenings.

Treasury Certificates r For War Savings Stamps i During the war the government of1, sered war savings stamps, paying > about 4 per cent ns a method of sav- • ing for people of small means. Since I the war, und to take the place of war i savings stamps, the Government offeri ed Treasury savings certificates in I denominations of $25, SIOO and SI,OOO, now sold to investors at $20.50, ■ and SB2O, respectively. They pay 4 • per cent if- held until maturity, five ■ years from the date of issue. About $625,000,000 of War Savings Stamps, ’ series of 1918, become due January 1 Ist, 1923, and the Government now offers to issue Treasury savings certificates in exchange for them, affording the owners an opportunity to continue a safe investment with good interest. Saving has furnished the life blood for many nations and insures prosperity to the people. The Government is doing everything possible to encourage saving in the United States by offering sound and attractive securities for the investment of small sums. If you want to save, and insure your future, it would pay you to investigate Uncle Sam’s Saving System.

PORTER STUDIO ' Ground Floor S-W Bittersweet Plant Is Harmless, Says Purdue Layfette. Dec. 2—These is a widespread impression that climbing bittersweet, one of the most popular of winter house decorations, is one of the plants that harbor the tomato disease known as mosaio and should be destroyed. The climbing bittersweet is harmless in this respect, however, according to A. A. Hansen of the Purdue University Agricultural Extension department. The confusion is due to the fact tfeat the true bittersweet or nightshade, a plant witu lobed leaves and purple to lilac tomato like flowers is the weed that carried mosaic.
