Scientists are trying to figure the heat measurement of stars. The av-1 erage citizen is more interested in the heat from coal and how much it is a heat. A preacher over at Detroit quit the ’ministry the other night and in his farewell, declared that all ministers were I’. T. Barnunis. We don't just see the similarity and we are sure the comparison didn't come from the box office. Wise ones claim that the real politics in the Shank race for the republican nomination and the reason some of the most skilled politicians are apparently sanctioning his candidacy is the hope that his entrance will so divide the vote as to throw the contest into the state convention where it can be handled by the “gang" as they see fit. Its hard to, put things like that over these days but perhaps they can. Down in Kentucky in various towns and cities, the merchants and banker;. and others have organized com-j mittees and will see that the main highways are kept in good condition during the winter and that fact is being broadcasted over the country so the motorists will know it and will conic and stop in their towns. Looks as though we might have to do something like that lu re if we want any travel on the main road between Decatur and Fort Wayne. Fifty years ago this nation was enduring perhaps the worst panic in’ ell history. Most of you have heard no doubt of the panic of '73. There' were souphouses, low prices, a terrible time. It followed the prosperity bubble which lasted eight years after the great civil war. There is no doubt that when values are inflated the time will come when too much water gets in and then tiie bubble bursts. How tar are we away from a repetition or wiil it be avoided? We don't know. Do you? Would you bt surprised to hear . that a woman carelessly reaching for her hair with a hot curling iron, ac-) cidentally sticks the iron into, her eye) and goes blind? Seems unusual but during the past six months according to records, this has occurred five times in the United States. The re-'' port is made by the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness.! Perhaps the most unusual accident * recorded by that association is the explosion of a Swiss cheese when it was cut open at a lying Island fair, blinding a by-stander. Under the Marshall administration. 1912 to 1916, the total expenditure for the state was $8,228,415.86. The total cost for operating the state this year has been $3(1,483.928.94. Under the Ralston administration the state debt was paid off and when Goodrich turned affairs of state over to McCray, Indiana did not owe a penny. Now

the state owes nearly four million dollars and the end is not yet. That means an ever upward trend of taxes for those debts must be paid. Within three years expenditures have gone up 100%, state levies fifty percent and the state debt 1,000%. Do you wonder that advance payments are asked, begged and demanded and that state funds are juggled? These figures are from the state records) which are public and explanations fail to change them. It's really a! serious condition and the tax payers are the interested parties. Wo don't know who is in charge of, the state road from here north and wo don't know just what his idea is for piling stone on the road and then allowing it to be pushed off in the

ditch. We presume he Is an expert road man and knows what he is doing and we would like to have him tell the public just what ins plan is. To a layman who knows nothing about the road game, it looks very much as though enough stone has been placed on the road the past year, to luiihl a hundred miles of good, I highway but of course there is some I good reason for it and we would be' glad to know it if the superintending' 'engineer or whatever his title is will! give it. It docs seem that if some oCj the stone money was spent for use of a good roller, it would at least make! j tiie road more pleasant to travel; over ami "durn” lots safer. Please i tell us about it. o LOVE AND LIGHT. The sunbeam gives this starlet age its fire, And paints snow-white, yon' lilly in the mire. From that same source the gentian draws its blue, And goldenrods receive their color true, i The robes of field and forest —wouderous green. And mystic mornings purple vail and sheen. All. —every color, tint and shade. From that mysterious ray of light is made. From love the patriot draws devotion's fire. For love, the youth is loyal to his sire; The martyrs from that source their faith renew, And on this stem the flower of wisdom grew. Here, mercies' tender hand is always seen, From love, true service takes its holy • mean— All, —every noble sacrifice yet made. Its honor at love's feet is rightly laid. o— . - - The People’s Voice • ■ The OF Swimmm' Hole Editor Democrat; / I pursued with a great deal of ini tercet the article by "F. Q." in your I issue of last Tuesday relative to the recording of the first deed in Adams county. The writer of that artiel’i muned about everything which Eli received as a pari of the “privileg’.u and appurtenances" going with the land. However, he forgot to enumerate one of tiie aforesaid valuable j"privileges and appurtenances." The , Fcc.jonga river cut the land "amidI ship " according to ' F. Q." Eli therefore acquired ail of the "right to" the eld swimming hole thereon situated thereunto belonging, which, in the absence of bath tubs, was a valjliable "appurtenance" as well as a ("proper use" of the stream. Those .of us who remember Eli might have la reasonable doubt about his actual use of the old swimming hole, but the words, "bargained, granted, sold. ! alienated, released, conveyed and confirmed" gave him the right to use it and to hold up his two fingers as an invitation to some one else to join with in its use. J. Frank Mann Notre I)amc Ready For Corn Husker Eleven , • Lincoln Neb., Nov. 9.—Notre Dame's pugnacious Irelunders arrived here to- , day and took a brisk, short workout ' in Cornhuskers' stadium. Thirty-five of the team from South

J Bend. Ind., practiced with a snap that t discredited any stories of staleness 9 on the Micks' part. Work for the Nebraska eleven was tapered off to the minimum and they used the field but u few minutes, to • Umber up today. > Early indications are that the two i lineups will give Nebraska a weight I edge of six pounds to tiie man on the line and ten pounds to tiie man in the j backfield. | The Uornhusker attack lias been I speeded up in practice this week, reI ports from the secret sessions indicated. Coach Dawson lias spent most of his time getting the heavvweight linemen to crash into their opponents with speed. Notre Dame is rankling under the sting of defeat in their game hi > rc last year and make no secret of their desire to win by an overwhelming score tomorrow.

Nov. 9.—Urged on by the student body’s insistence that I they can't lose and spurred by th--of the president that they I must not lose, (lie Princeton Tigers were choking witli confidence today as they put in the last work for tomorrow's game with Harvard. in a huge rally last night, when the undergraduates built fires and whooped and hollered ail over the. place. President Hibbon told the players “Princeton has not suffered a defeat at the hands of Harvard since the war and this year must be no exception." With the feeling—"We may not be so good, but Harvard is worse,” the undergraduates and the old grads insisted that a Princeton victory was in tiie cards and that the Tigers always ; play their cards.

The colt ran up his total earnings for two seasons to ihore than $270,000. which is far ahead of Man o’War’s previous American record ogf $249.00". and a little less than the world’s record of $291,400 set by the English champion, Isinglass.
