The budget committee it Is rumor-' ed will report neutral on the two million dollar appropriation asked by, the governor for the reformatory. Its 1 i either right or wrong and they could ( it seems say so without being fright- ( ened. ___________. 1 It is proposed to put the question’ 1 I of whether the people want a prim ary or not up to them by means of the ballot, voting on separate ballots 1 at the next election. The plan seems 1 (air enough but of course by that time , the election of president will be over. - i Indiana certainly does not want an , income tax law while the present s rates are so high that most people can scarcely meet the semi-annual pay c ments. The people voted on the pro 1 position two vears ago and decidedly i . c said “no.” — v With twenty-two vessels, loaded with liquor, parked just beyond the 1 mile limit in the New York'har- v bur and fifty small Iniats hauling •' liquor openly to ports, do you wonder 11 why people doubt the sincerity of ( those who profess to be enforcing the j laws? t gj._. - —" • ! Attorney General Daugherty is at Taggart's famous health resort at 11 French Lick it being announced that J he is suffering from a severe cold and has no statement to make.

Doi you want an income tax in the state in addition to the government income i tax? Are you for a gasoline tax, for the county school unit instead of tin 11 township or what do you want? You ' can tell your representatives through the “People’s Voice" column in this j paper. < To secure the building of a hun-U died new homes in Decatur during the next six months is the desire of . the building committee of the Decatur Industrial association and of i others who will assist them. We need the houses badly, in fact we must have them or quit trying to in -I crease our population for we are up so the limit. There is plenty of money l here and the investments will not only be safe and sensible but will tiring excellent returns. Plan to ( build and support the companies who make the effort. It costs a lot of money to publish j a newspaper these days and if you have any doubt of it you can easily discover the truth by engaging inj the business a short time. The unil- < d support of the community is necessary and we are grateful that we| have been receiving it here. Just now we are trying to renew our sub , scriptions.

f COURAGE IS BIG ASSET Big Aid To Athletes In Gaining Top Rung Os Success (United Press Service) New York -Some years back Johnny Me Taggard started out t 6 be the Mist jockey on the track. He wasone of the leading riders of the country and his services were in great dehinnd. One day in 1918 hr went down in a spill and was badly injured. When he got back in the saddle again he found his nerve had departed. He had acquired n family and he didn't like the risks. Successful riders, as successes in all sport, have to have the heart to take chances and McTaggart slipped from the successful class. He was still game in the belief that

i- it would come back to him and he was courageous enough to fight the worst of all battles—with himself. Leaving the big tracks, he went around to the smaller ones and fought and fought until the old daring came back. He returned to the big time late in the last season and rode with hiS form-l t er class. Trainers and owners whis-: I pered among themselves: . “Johnny's got his nerve back. ’ His comeback was rewarded with a ( contract to ride next season for the t next season for the stable of Mrs. I Payne Whitney. Two years ago the New York Tan kees took south with them for spring training, a young infielder. Chick Few , later, one of the most promising play j lers that had come up from the minors in years. The Yanks and the Brooklyn Robins had arranged an exhibition tour on the way nortli and in one of the games. . Fewster was hit on the head by one ■ of the Jeff Pfeffer's fast balls, one of the speediest deliveries in the game. Fewster lingered between lite and deathe Tor weeks. Operations were necessary and his career in baseball 1 was despaired of, because old timers 1 said. “They're always gun-shy after 1 that.” Recovering. Fewster came back to • jhe Yanks aaid instead of showing tim- 1 idity at the bat lie seemed overdaring and the pitchers were almost afraid of him. His heart surely was there and l his courage never had been weakened ! but the injury left him physically weak and he was unable to play in hot weather, dizzy spells seizing him 1 when the sun boiled down on his head. Fewster is still in the business, still fighting to come clear back. He is expected to be one of the regulars of the. Boston Red Sox next season and if his j heart has anything t 6 do with it, he will. Jack Kid Wolfe, of Cleveland, used to be rated several years ago as one of the greatest bantamweights in the ring. He was a near champion and was going good with featherweights. The Kid went out of his class and hit a street car and was nearly ruined. His head was all cut up and he was generally reduced almost to junk He recovered, but his eyes were bad and his shoulders were bound. Friends--patted him on the back and told him it was too bad. He had a family and he hadn't saved much money, j Everyone believed he was all in, but the Kid himself. Managers all gave him the laugh when he wanted to work for them but finally Tommy McGinty took him and the Kid is back. He may never be a champion now, but he’s got the heart of a champion ’ ;ind he's a first rater making money— I one of the main ideas. During the past summer he fought 1 Frankie Jerome in New York. Jerome 1 kocked him.down seven times in the first round and five times more in the ■ second, but the Kid kept bobbing up 1 and then he started. 5 The judges gave the decision to Jerome, but it was the best draw any- ' one ever saw. o CROWS AND ROBINS NATURAL ENEMIES OF WHITE GRUBS Crows and robins have been found very useful, says the Biological Survey of the United States Department 1 of Agriculture, in the extermination of white grubs, which are the larvae of May- beetles, or June bugs. These ' grubs cause extensive damage to lawns and grain crops it the birds do 1 not find them. On cranberry bogs 1 they are also very destructive, as they remain in the soil for several years 1 and are difficult to control. A case is cited where every plant on portions '' of a cranberry bog in Massachusetts s was killed. All the roots were destroyed. New vines " were planted, and almost immediately numbers of robins were seen at work there. They 1 dug into the sand with their beaks and r pulled out the grubs. Some of the roots ol the vines were cut off by the I COUGHS Apply over throat and chest ( teF —swallow small pieces of— VJfiks Otter 17 Millton Jan Used Yearly

r grubs, and these vines the robins ’ pulled up and discarded, and dug out the grubs. The robins worked »o diligently that practically no grubs escaped and nearly all the vines survived. ■ ■ —•——— — INDIANA CORN KING L. M.

Persons who have suddenly acquired World war records, wound stripes and a desire to help other disabled veterans by soliciting subscriptions to equally bogus magazines have so aroused- the American Legion and municipal authorities at Syracuse, N. Y., that the two forces have combined against such fake soliciting. • Anyone seeking a license to sell magazines is turned over to the Legion for investigation. That Local Color. Mrs. Timothy Hay—For heaven's sake! What are you going to do with that old wagon? And that harness grandfather had? Where on earth Is the car? And what are you dressed like a tramp for? And that straw in your mouth? Are you going crazy? Mr. T. Hay (reproachfully)—Maria, where’s your wits? Don’t you know them summer boarders are coming on the m?xt train?—American Legion Weekly.

I am going on a long and rugged journey, worse than ever you drove me." “Well, sir," consoled the chauffeur, “There’s one comfort. It’s down hill.” —American Legion Weekly;
