During seven of the eight 1 1 years of Burleson, who was cussed i' i so much, he turned back a profit.

Vincennes did it as was predicted but after a hard battle against Anderson and another with Muncie. The latter team was the big dope up setter, for not even the wisest basketball fan guessed them to be the ’ runners-up. The season is over and sport will have a rest now, except for track work and early baseball. ■ - — Booze cars taken in Indianapolis are sold at rare bargains; but you have to know how to get them. Since 1920 seventeen automobiles taken - from booze runners have been sold at from 25.70 to 1505 per each and it transpires that a number of these went to officials and deputies. There's always something doing in Marion county. Food in Japan costs a fifth more than in America, says W. B. Hall. Tokio merchant visiting New York. The Japs have cheaper clothing, but rents are high. Salaries over there are five to ten times as big as they were six years ago. Japan has 1.400 movie theaters, Lon Chaney their favorite star —which will interest psychologists We call attention to these facts because few Americans realize the gigantic changes that are taking place in the Orient. Our big foreign trade market of the future is across the Pacific. — Indianapolis Times. William H. Settle is president of

the Farmer’s Association ’of Indiana and wits a leader for the co-operative bill which Governor McCray vetoed. When Bill received a letter from the governor asking him to call and let him assist him in preparing a real co-operative measure to be presented , to the next legislature, he saw things ( and he sat himself down and wrote Mr. McCray a red hot letter in which ! he got a number of things off his I chest and then tor fear the governor might mislay it without letting the newspaper boys see it. he gave the letter to the press. Evidently they are not putting anything over on Settle. He knows several things he may tell later. Representative Kline of Pennsylvania is proud of being a ’’lame duck." In a speech just made public by the Congressional Record, he ( says: "Let me remind you that when you call a man a lame duck you plae c him in a class of the most distinguished; men of all time. Go back a few years in our history and you will find in that class such men as Abraham Lincoln. Ulysses 8. Grant. James G. Blaine, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt. Champ Clark and a host of other notables who hav e rendered very great service to their country." This utterance would doubtless have found its way into print before, if it had really been spoken on th e floor of congress. As iit happens the gem was inserted in lhe Record after the end of the session. under the familiar “leave to extend remarks." It should be none the less consoling to all lame ducks, present or future!

Fort Wayne, on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 20 and 21. To look at this young man—it is hard to reconcile ones self with the fact that a few short years ago he was riding the range and "punching" cattle with the Circle C outfit in Milk River valley, Montana. Nevertheless it’s the unvarnished truth. Prior to his stage debut, Donald Foster was a cowboy—he rode —he ‘Tangled’’ cattle—and did everything to be done on and about a ranch. He went to Chicago on a visit and saw a play. Made his mind that acting appealed to him and the result was that he went on the stage and became not only an actor, but one of the foremost leading men of today.
