We're enjoying some fine weather, especially when reports from North Dakota state that it is 32 degrees below zero in that neck of the woods. The present population of the world is estimated at 1,702.520,366. ' JVell that's not a bad guess, but of course, that number may not incluue the births of last week. Now ail together. Let's join the Good Fellows club and help make ail the children and a few grown-ups happy on Christmas, the one day of the year when we are all supposed to be happy and joyful. Professor Tiernan is quoted as * giving out "positively the last statement’’ to the press, when he told New Y’ork newspaper men that he would > take immediate action to annul his, second marriage. Weil the sooner he quits talking the better it will be for him. Come now. let's get the Christinas shopping completed this week. The. local stores are still idled with an abundance of Christmas- gifts tnd 'rn order to enjoy Christmas as you Bhould, get the shopping out of the! way and then plan for the big holiday. Don't be one of the last minute shoppers. The voters of Illinois will vote to-■ morrow on the rejection or ratification of a new state constitution, including a new tax law. Here in Indiana we got a new tax law without a new constitution or the holding of an election and if the Illinois voters are wise they will leave well enough alone.

INDIANA (Dedicated to Governor Warren T. McCray) By MAX EHRMANN The pioneers lie in their earthen beds. Still show their faith and brawn to do and dare, in cities that lift high their lofty heads, ■ In pleasant towns that prosper everywhere. What sturdy men have plowed these fertile fields, Here in this land where pleasant rivers run — Where wayside flowers, forests, haivest yields Are eu-sert by never tailing rain and san! A toiling, peaceful life this people leads. Not moved by red rebellion’s scarlet leer. Nor whirlwinds shouting out sophmoric creeds. The world’s turmoils touch us but lightly here. If in some future time our country fall On rocks of evil days, this middle ffind Will life her up, her sanity recall. And bind her wounds as with a mother's hand. For here we know no sections, east or west, Ou north or south. Here are the people bound By many sacred ties to all the rest. Here is the heart beat of the nation sound. t • \ Dear Indiana, always, as of old. Keep thou thy soul unsullied as the sea. Despising tyrants, whether mobs or gold— Compassionate mother of a people tree.

The young women of the Delta Theta Tau sorority are alncere in their sponsoring of the Good Fellows club, tbe purpose being to raise money with which to buy candy, toys and needed clothes and play Santa Claus to those children and a few grown-ups who might otherwise be forgotten on Christmas. The moneydonated by the Good Fellows will be spent to the best advantage and the aim of the young women will be a little along the line of logic expressed in the popular song, “Don't bring me posies it's shoesies that I need.” Tbe department of agriculture has a particular purpose in its existence, that of aiding or helping the farmer by action or suggestions. The latest suggestion made by Secretary Wai lace seems the least bit ridiculous to in. In that he recommends the raising of beavers as the “mortgage lift era.” That industry may thrive in the swamp lands or in the back woods but to the fanners in this section of the country, it would sound better it the department would tell them when the marlggt prices for their crops would be adjusted. Why not raise seals? Once again Indiana has come to the front. At the international hay and grain show at Chicago the title cf Corn King of the United States was conferred upon Peter J. Lux of Shelbyville. That this Hoosier triumph was no accident was proved by the fact that second honors went to C. E. Troyer of Lafontaine and that the junior championship was won by Glen Phares, age 13, of Shelby <-ounty. Three times in the past : mr rears the corn championship of the nation has come to Indiana. This tpeaks volumes for the Hoosier farmer. His farm lands may not bw as extensive as those of some Western .-rates. but he is working with a degree of intelligence and skill that has placed Indiana in the front rank in the agricultural industry.—lndianapolis Times. Canada reports that tourists, mosh iy Americans, spent $100.000,0v0 in the dominion last year. Most of that money was for entertainment and re--reation, with a by-product of education. In so far as our people chose Canada for their vacation grounds because its climate was more moist, no comment would influuence the situation. But for those who traveled for cencry and for a chance at rugged outdoor recreation there might be a word said as to the advantages of our own country. The United States hasn't all the game which is offered by Canada, but it has a great variety. l lt has mountains just as high,

CONTER, Sec'y. ’ Indiana Asked To Give 36,000,000 Pennies , i Indianapolis, Dec. 11. —Will Indiana , dig up 36,000,000 pennies between December 1 and the end of the month? This is the question asked by Dr. George Mac Coy, of Columbus, president of the Indiana Tuberculosis association. The answer will not be forthcoming until New Year's eve, but reports received by Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the association, has transmitted an optimistic prediction to Dr. Mac Coy. The executive offices have received from national headquarters, and divided among the ninety-two county anti-tuberculosis organizations, 36,000,600 Christmas seals. The number is sufficient to build a replica of the famous double-barred cross, emblem of the tuberculosis campaign, across the state. With its base at New Albany and Jeffersonville, both cities strong supporters of the movement for years, the tip would reach to South Bend, whose workers are clamoring for two million additional seals to sell before Christmas. Tips of the eastern wings would rest near Portland and Fort Wayne, on the east, and Williamsport and Kentland, the governor's home, on the west. o “Where is my wandering boy tonight?” Crystal theater tonight o—— East Wins Over The West And The South . New York. Doc. 9.—(United Press). Through one of the most interesting and varied seasons of intersectional football, eastern teams more than held their own against southern and western invasion. The margin of victory for the east was three to one. Likewise, the north came out victorious in intersectional skirmishes with the south by the kame margin, three to one. Out of seventeen games between the east and the west, the east won twelve games, lost four and one ended in a tie. Outstanding victories for the east were Princeton's defeat of Chicago and Syracuse’s triumph over Nebraska. Glory of the west was shown when lowa defeated Yale, Notre Dame won from Carnegie Tech and Detroit downed Washington and Jefferson. The following table shows the results of the major east-west battles: Eastern Victories—Princeton 21, Chicago 18; Washington and Jefferson 32, Wabash 6; Army 13. Kansas 0; Pittsburgh 37, Cincinnati 0; Syracuse 9, Nebraska 6; Springfield 6, Detroit 0: Navy 71, Western Reserve 0; Navy 52, St. Xaviers 0; West Virginia 31. Cincinnati 0; West Virginia 33, Indiana 0; West Virginia 28, Ohio 0; West Virginia 55, Marietta 0. Western Victories—lowa 6, Y'ale 0; Notre Dame 19, Carnegie Tech 0; Detroit 20, Washington and Jefferson 9; Detroit 10, Boston Colleges 8. The nodecision game was a scoreless tie between Army and Notre Dame. In the fourteen games between the north and south, the north won nine, lost three and tied two. Two outstanding performances marked the invasion of the north by teams beitH* the Mason-Dixon line. Alabama produced one of the big surprises of the season by defeating a fine Pennsylvania eleven and Vanderbilt played a scoreless tie with Michigan, one of the strongest teams in the west with a good claim on the Western Conference I championship. Georgia Tech, usually one of the most powerful teams in I the south, provided victories for the north by losing to the Navy and Notre Dame.

Centre College was also a disapfoiatmeat, being defeated easily by Barvard. One of the best northern victories was scored by the Army ever Auburn, ope of the best teams in the south. Results of the northsouth battles are shown below: Northern Victoria*—Yale 15. North Carolina 0; Princeton 5, Virginia 0; Notre Dame 13. Georgia Tech 3: Chiosgo 20 Georgia 0; Harvard 24. Centre M; Harvard 24, Florida 0; Army 19, Auburn 6; Boston College 33, Baylor 0: Navy 12, Georgia Tech 0. Ssuthern Victori**—- Alabama 9, Pennsylvania 7; North Carolina 27, Maryland 3; Virginia Poly 21, Maryland 0. West Virginia and Washington and Lee played a 12-12 tie and Vanderbilt and Michigan engaged in a scoreless tie. Interesting little sidelights of the season show that Indiana and City College of New York were tied for die distinction of scoring the least number of points. They made twentyone each. By a big margin, Mulenberg was the softest to score on. They
