Foreign Representatives Carpenter & Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City N Y. Life City, Mo. The legislature met, adopted the re- | j>ort of the caucus as to officers and I then adjourned until Monday, losim.! a couple of days. It’s a queer start j for a legislature which promised economy and speed. After all perhapn ‘ the fewer days they meet the more, money the tax payers save. Tile governor’s message included aI suggestion for a tax on gasoline and a Insist in automobile licenses, t' e| money thus derived to be turned ov ' to the state highway commission 1 Some one should move to strike out | the enacting clause when the bills! are presented. What most people want is less expense, not more. Senator Beveridge called on Cover ; nor McCray the night before the lat ter was to read his message to th , legislature and personally notified him not to "monkey” with the pr: j mary law or he would take the stum; and tell the people some more thing; he knows. Well—the governor omitted his request that the primary lav. be repealed. Clean sports does not mean ilia . every member of every athletic team ■ should not light us hard as possiblto win and no one should get that; impression. Win on your merits, be cause you are faster and more de- ' termined. That’s what you will have' to do after a while any way, for I:: the long grind endurance and skill and strict attention to duty is what makes the difference between a win ner and a loser. Claude Duvall, Dick Turpin, Ton Faggus, Bob Roy and e'en the men v Robin Hood got into song and story, but they were mere pikers.

to cut up the swag and live fat an , fancy with their lady friends —Fort ' Wayne Journal-Gazette. The Way, a paper now being print-! ed in Indianapolis, declares the recent ' school survey a scheme of New York men, aided by a few Hoosiers, to se cure changes in laws which will sell | more school books An article published this week says the joker is to ■ secure county controll instead of town I ship management so that a different set of books can be used in each county. Then if a.man moved from Allen Ito Adams county h e would have t<> buy new books for all his children. Frankly we don’t know just what is proposed in the new law, but there are ear marks of a desire to go on with the centralization plan nd it always dangerous when the people turn their rights over to a few of the chosen. , The Daily Democrat is concluding, the tirst twenty years of service to this community.

As I further proof of our appreciation for j your support w e are giving a handsome* premium—a leatherette case, containing 142 needles of various I sizes.

A bill to do away with that board entirely would strike a more popular cord. o RUMMAGE SALE Special attention is called to the >-umage sale which will be held in the basement of the M.
