Thirty million animals a year are being killed throughout the world to get enough furs to meet public demand. The modern girl is more destructive of fur bearing animals than was tlie caveman of 400,000 years ago. says H. E. Anthony, of American Museum of Natural History. The big animals are nearly all exterminated. And slaughter es the smaller ones is increasing by leaps and bounds. Fashion ami vanity nre rapidly bringing to an end the age of mammals which began (according to scientists) three million years ago.—lndanapolis Times. The house passed the appropriation bin yesterday including the 81,500,000 for the Pendleton prison de luxe. They used steam roller tactics which would Imvy been unnecessary if the appropriation would have withstood tlie limelight of publicity. The bill now goes to the senate where it will be railroaded through and where efforts will be made to boost tlie amount to two million or more, in the meantime no report has been made on the financial condition of the state, it may be good politics but it’s rotten business and if there isn't a roarback it wiy be indeed. It is announced today that Mr. B. F. Lawrence has been named general business and editorial manager of the Star papers in Indiana, including the Indianapolis Star. Terre Haute Star and Muncie Star, with offices at indianwpolis. He succeeds Mr. Bros who died recently after many years of excellent service.

state, a newspaper man of Jong experience, a good fellow and a "go-getter" who believes a newspaper must be snappy to meet the demands of the public. Managing one paper is usual ly enough to take the edge off the ambitions of the average man but looking after three requires Just such a man as Mr. Lawrence who cun produce a thousand pounds of steam and yet keep his feet on the ground. Os course its hard to pay taxes. It always has been and always will be. Added to your local taxes now you have to meet federal Income taxes, provided of course you really earned a profit last year. We squeal at it but there should be a “heap" of satisfaction in the knowledge that you are better off than the money earners of most any nation in the world. For instance if you earned 82,500 last year and are single your taxes will be about sixty dollars while if you resided over in England and earned that much the taxes would be $253. It your earnings were $5,000 the taxes are $l6O while in England $315 and so on upward and we might add that in other European countries the taxes to the government are even higher* than in England. Perhaps we are lucky after all. Let's pay and quit grumbling. Blaine W. Bradfute, who signs editorials in the Bloomington Telephone became unnecessarily alarmed about the threat of Representative Clapp to introduce a bill providing that Indiana University should be moved away from Bloomington. Talk of removal, says Bradfute, always has been destructive, never constructive "The truth is" he says "that Indiana University and Bloomington are one and inseparable, and that the town is so much a part of the university that the university could not be separated from the town without killing the real Indiana University." And further » on: "Move Indiana University! It can not be done —brick and stone and wooden benches might be freighted away, but not Indiana University. All this rests deep in the hearts of ihouI sands of 1. U. men and women over Indiana and over the entire world and if a real, serious effort was started to move 1. U. they would be heard from in the most astonishing manner.” When W. T. Durbin was governor he threatened to launch a removal movement because Monroe county was infested with whitecappers. When J. Frank Hanly was ■ governor another whitecapping epi-

rode caused more removal talk. The basis ter recent rumors is the lack of «n adequate water supply and municipal politics. The faculty aud the town have not always got along very well together, and the university has felt that Bloomington did not give it the co-operation it should have. Commercially the school has been a good thing for Bloomington. Indiana Uni- > versity is not to be moved now and probably never will be, and if the new spirit at Bloomington means a changed order of things there is likely to be no more talk about moving.

(From Daily News, Chicago) "The shortest that, street skirts will be worn next spring is seven inches," said the head .buyer of a loop department store. “Six inches is really the favored length, with four inches for evening frocks."

THE DOCTORS ( Th-- doctors scud thu snow and mud thru sunshine and thru blizzard—to nip my ills with powdered squills and | clean and oil my gizzard. In spring or fall, they heed my call and to my wigwam flivver a cold to whip or chase the grip from out of my lungs and liver. No hour’s too late, no cold too great, to hinder them from coming; the snow may blow, the floods muy flow, but onward they'll be thrumming. When men are well they often yell that all the docs are fakers; that all their dope is powdered rope and only fit for Shakers. But when they're sick they phone right quick to some M, D, or other to liitlhetrack for their home shuck and give their ills the smother. Tho cold the night and roads a fright, the doctor hastes to answer ami to them comes to mend their thumbs or amputate a cancer. Oil. I would raise a song of praise and chant it out loud . and often in praise of these our good M. D.’s who keep us from the. coAn.
