When Winter comes, spring cannot be far away anil it is some consolation in knowing that we will have only six or eight weeks more of it.

The Rockefeller foundation will give Butler college an endowment of 3300,000 if the latter raises an additional siloo,ooo. and still possessed with the confidence that helped them win the football game from Illinois last fall, Butler thinks that the money can be raised in one day. Nothing like confidence. As a result of the bread war in Chicago, a number of chain grocery stores are giving a loaf of bread to everyone who makes a purchase. The public will not object and sooner or later the warring factions will find out that it does not pay to give things aw y and will be convinced that the other fellow is entitled to live.

THE CRYSTAL LAST TIME TONIGHT Alma Rubens in “FIND THE WOMAN” What chance has a lovely woman in a bailie with New York its while lights- its police, and its cold world of high society? Here’s the dramatic answer In a mysteryromance bristling with more thrills and suspense than the average person experiences in a lifetime. News and Comedy Children 10c Adults 25c

to say the least, for Mr. tVorthmaii has proven by seven year’s of efficient service and hard work that he ( is just the man for the place. Mr. Worthman takes a great interest in ’• the schools and school children aid a better man could not be secured ■ for the important position he holds. A Community House Is just the i thing for Decatur and the women of • the Woman's Club have taken the i right steps, that of building one by ‘ local contributions and having it supervised and promoted by local people. Decatur could make good use of a Community building and such a place would serve as a meeting place for the public where com munity spirit could be manifested. The women of the Woman's Club have already pledged 3500.00 as n nucleus of the fund and we are sure other clubs and organizations will be ; glad to contribute. Leave it to the 1 women to think up the good things.

Friday will see the completion and ■ dedication of the Decatur high school and auditorium building and the I citizens of Decatur can well feel proud of this modern and convenient | building. The main building provides modern class and study rooms, while the annex which will be formally dedicated tomorrow contains the gymnasium and auditorium. The community that has up-to-date school buildings and takes an interest in better schools is a good community and Decatur has this distinction Within the next few months work will be started on the erection of a modern school building and gymnasium by the congregation of the St. Mary's Catholic church and the children of Decatur will be given evtWy opportunity to obtain an education, surrounded by things that will tend to promote their ideals and help make them better men and women. The People’s Voice Editor Democrat: — In the Democrat of February 2nd issue under “Roads Easily Damaged" that all heavy traffic had been stopped in Wells county, and that Chas. Magley, superintendent of Adams county highways, has not issued any such 5 drastic orders. The enclosed weather card will explain that the same orders were issued for Adams county some 10 days ago. As I have been confined to my bed for tne past week I cannot say what has been done or not done to the roads. I just want to say that when I get back on the job that every vio lator of the road law will be brought to justice. We have and have had for several years truck drivers that make their runs at night. This must be stopped at once. CHAS. E. MAGLEY •_ Turkey Gives More Time to Allies Today (Continued from Page One) France Will Participate Paris, Feb. B—France8 —France will play her part in the Near East if the Turks attempt to enforce ultimatums such as that ordering allied war ships from Smyrna harbor, it was stated authoritatively today. The government ordered its Mediterranean forces to take all measures to protect citizens, firing if necessary The French consul at Smyrna asked permission to withdraw the entire French colony, stating the Turks are in an ugly mood. Paris papers today stress the gravity of the situation and denounce the Turkish demands. The Matin emphasizes the fact that American war ships as well as those of the British will participate.

When February hits his stride he surely gives us heck: he romps around in arrant pride and biffs us in the neck. Ho blows the snow for ninety miles, he heaps it up in ntas sive piles just where it’s in the way; he stacks it up for four fathoms deep alas, alackaday. And with his wooden shovel wide each pilgrim forth must go and leave the ‘’beautiful’ aside —the doggone drifted snow—till on his hands are blisters great and sweat-drops trickle from his pate to splash down on the walk And when at last his task is done he’s stiff and sore from feet to “bun” —his language is a shock.

| Field Goals ”

Notre Dame counted only three field goals In the game with Indiana last night and the Crimson won easily 33 to 18. Kizer's good work at the foul line in tossing 12 out of 17 free throws, made the rout less severe. Nyikos, the former South Bend high school star who recently became eligible for competition on the Crimson squad, starred with six field goals and four out of five free throws. Bluffton staged a comeback last night and almost defeated the Warren five in a game at Bluffton. The Blufftonites scored four field goals to Warren’s two but the visitors won on free throws It sure is’tough luck to lose a game on fouls after outscoring a team two to one from the field. The final score was 14 to 11 Nine players got into the game for Bluffton last night. Some of the names looked strange. Evidently someone is preparing to “show some stuff” in the tournament. * Pretty soon we'll have enough dark horses to start a black horse troop in oposition to Culver —Shoot in’ ’em and Stopping' ’em. Yes Sir, we'fe still pickin’ that Union Center high school five for one of the dark horses of the Decatur tournament. They may not have a first class gym and all the equipment necessary, but what they lack in this department they sure make up in another. Their victory over the Fort Wayne South Side high Saturday evening has already caused some of the skeptical to ask just how it happened. —Out of Bounds. Anderson almost took the count iast night. Coach Staggs men won from Marion after a hard fight. 28 to 27. Marion is growing stronger. Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Technical of Indianapolis defeated South Port. ?3 to 26 last night. This is Tech’s first victory. Fight Tech. Those “World Champion" Indian | spoils Omars journeyed down to Terre Haute last night and received a 16 to 14 lacing at the hands of a Pennsylvania railroad quintet. Ain’t it tough? Auburn is sending two special carloads of fans down here for the game Friday night. It looks like the new gymnasium was going to he mighty ■rowded tomorrow night. We hope you have a good time, Auburn, but don't be too badly disappointed if your team gets beaten.
