You will have a happier Christmas if you help some one else to have one. A good way to do it is through the Good Fellow club and this is your last day. Don't let it slip by, ■ - A New York scientist. Dr. Stock-1 land, has figured it out that chickens communicate with each other and have twenty-one sounds in their voi abulary. That's about as many as some of the 110 "hot-dog" variety have. Democrats will offer a bill in the coming session of the general assembly to combine about six commissions in one. the health department. Th I: would reduce the number at ' least. Indiana now has sevenlee!: commissions and they conflict in var ' ions ways besides being a source ot; great expense.

The • Delta Theta Tau dalles are now busy with plans to make the Christmas a ■ happy one for many poor and needy children. ' A bill will be introduced in the '1 ' coming legislature providing that I auto taxes be collected and kept by, | each county, the state to provide the' I plates and it should pass. There is i no reason why the money spent by the auto owners of this county for ; taxes should not at least to a large I extent be used on our own roads. __________ The sentiment seems to be crystali izing over the state against the two cent tax on each gallon of gasoline. | The governor is urging the bill which provides that this money be turned over to the highway commission in; addition to the large fund now used by them and which this year totaled i about nine million dollars and next vear will be more. It's time to reduce i i taxes and not to increase them. At I least that's the way the -people feel. William Hays, movie mentor, former postmaster general and republican chairman, has presented Fatty Arbuckle with a Christmas gift of a pardon from filmdom. A year ago after Fatty’s little party in which ! Virginia Rappe, actress, was killed. ' tlie fun maker was banished from th' 1 , screen. Now Will has seen fit to re , move the order but after all it's up to the people and we doubt if Fatty 1 can come back. He won't feel right about it, neither will the people. j ■ An Indianapolis judge has a jar of; | white mule on his desk in which he places a piece of beef steak and i shows the prisoner charged with' ■1 unkenness just what the stuff will do to his stomach. The beef steak is c. ten by the mule in an hour or two' 4 and if the offender has enough sense, left to realize that he is committing' suicide the effect is some times very good. There is no doubt that the “mule” liquor will quickly ruin your stomach and shorten your life. Stay off of it boys. It's poor Christmas cheer any way. There will be many evidences of Christmas spirit in this community. The holly wreaths and the candles have already been placed in man) window’s. A community Christmas tree will be placed in the court yard and one of the delightful events of the season will be the community meeting at the gym at six o’clock Christmas evening. The Women’s club is in charge and they ask and deserve the co-operation of all the people. Go and sing the Christmas songs, watch the happy children and let go of yourself for it's the glad season oi the year. Gracious, Me!

Changes In Basketball Rules Are Suggested New York, Dec. 21—Suggestions for two radical changes the basebull rules came recently from St. Louis. It was suggested thut,a free ticket to the bases be issued on three balls instead of four balls, as at present, and that throe fouls on the third strike should constitute an out. | While those is nothing particularly I wrong with the suggestion, any adoption of the changes probably would be) 'opposed on the theory that they are i not needed. ! Reducing the number of balls to three would only work a handicap on a pitcher and pitching is under enough handicap now with the lively ball, the freak rules, etc. Making it an But for three fouls on the last strike would not be of much | importance. Joe O'Brien, Jack Dunn ] and some of the old times tell how John McGraw and the old Orioles used to knock fouls “by the hour" to weaken ‘ the opposing pitcher but it is done today because the batters are not able to do it. There is one thing of value in th-' suggestion. It would speed up the game and speed is surely needed. Too I many games last year ran two hours two hours and a half and three hours. Some improvement could be made i, the umpires would keep after the players. but the officials seem lust as lazy themselves. Club owners, privately if not tor publication. know that pitching is under too much of a handicap and it is fin ; derstood that the umpires may be in- i structed to permit the moderate use i ('f resin next year on the ball. Many ‘ pitchers used it last season when they could get away with it and some of it them did consistently. When the pitching was too good, th--popular demand was for hitting and I now there is such an excess of slug- i ging that the fans are beginning to - how) for some old time pitching. t
