Evans and others declare there will be reorganization of the factions and two klans instead of one. When the biggest thing of an organitation is a division of the spoils there can be but one end and that is—the rocks. Unless you want to drive very carefully and very slowly,,better not attempt to use the state road from here north. There are several good roads you can use. Os course they are maintained on about a tenth of the money used on the state, road but are in much better condition and that’s what you want. Four hustling candidates for the democratic nomination for governor met at Indianapolis yesterday. They are William H. O'Brien, former state auditor and well known leading citizen; Dr. C. 13. McCulloch, who was the standard bearer in 1920: Senator Charles Batt of Terre Haute and Joseph Cravens of Madison, who has been in the state senate many years .. and is a fighter. They will make a vigorous campaign and the issue will be a reduction of taxes and expenses in Indiana. The winner no doubt has a splendid chance to be the next governor of Indiana. The state' needs $286,885.65 to pa/ bills at the Pendleton reformatory, palace de luxe being constructed for the bandits and law violators and called by the Indianapolis News, “the state’s new white elephant/' The administration was warned over and over again during the last, legislative session but the leaders persisted in putting over plans for a building, so elaborate that funds cannot be secured with which to build it. The state will need a lot more monejj before they get through with some of the things started and Lew Shank’s fad of spending millions to light the country roads will not sound very good to the average citizen. A New York concern that collects and sells waste paper, has brought action before the Attorney General to dissolve the Salvation Army on the ground that it is illegally engaged in the waste paper business.

State of Indiana, County of Adams, ss: I. W. A. Lower, secretary of the Peoples Loan and Trust Co., of Decatur. Indiana, do solemnly swear that the above statement is true. W. A. LOWER. Subscribed and sworn to before me. this 10th day of November, 1923. SUSIE MAYER, Notary Public. My commission expires February 14, 1926.

complaint is made that tro Salvationists are able to pay more for waste paper and sell It for less, and that the business is not provided sor 1 in the charter. It is very probable , that the Army will be comiielled to abandon this line of industry, which ' is claimed to come under the head , of charity. Many people give the Army their waste paper and are glad to get rid of it, but the matter of selling it is another question. The same 1 law and ruling, if found correct, would 1 i put an end to church “hake sales," i bazaars and possibly the church dinI ner. Five years ago today the great World war closed, fl was wonderful news to the mothers and fathers of this country who were hoping and praying for the successful termination of the conflict and the safe return of their boys. Armistice Day is being observed over the country today and tomorrow. One of the features will be a ten-minute speech by ExPresident Wilson. tonight from his home in the capital. The talk will be broadcasted by radio over the country and millions will hear him. He will begin at 7:28 central time. His message will be worth hearing for it will be a plea for peace and not war. a plea better world and not a worse one, a call from a man of great ability and experience to the people of the world to quit being destructive and to remember the Golden Rule. Tune in tonight on your radio and listen to one of the world s great statesmen. Do you go to church? If not, why not? Are you silly enough to imagine that the few years you spend on earth is the beginning and the end of things? Not many of you actually believe that, you can’t if you study Qie great scheme of life and devote a little time to nature. Then why don’t you devote a little time and some real effort in preparing for the after , while? In any church you may attend tomorrow you will hear truths you ought to know anj think about. Perhaps there is a place in that church where you can be of great service, can help some other poor lost soul ' find the way, can make it a little easier for the pastor or the priest who has not an easy job, no difference what you may think about it. The span of life is but an instant in the 1 trillions of decades which make up ' I 1 eternity. It makes no difference , whether you get a million dollars. It i makes great difference whether you are right with your God or not. Worship tomorrow and you help the world and yourself. Superior,—Being generous got A. I. Barney, bread concern agent in "bad.'’ He was arrested on a charge of selling laoves ot bread which were overweight. The judge was generous also and dismissed the cape. Mount Carmel, Pa., —“I car.'t find my candidate's name on this ballot," complained a Mount Carmel woman at the polls Tuesday. “What’s hiname?’’ ask th eclerk. “Good Roads" came the serious reply. Pagosa Springs, Col. —Coyotes replace lap dogs as pets here until ministers complained. When' s> church bells sent out their call for prayer, a defiant chorus started from the upturned snouts of “desperate orchestra.”

WHY THEY CHANGED (Editorial, May wood Horald, Sept. 14, Is2s.) Public utilities of all kinds wore owce the KavOrite target of centure, damkge iultz and almost everything that could be directed against them. That condition exiated not so very many year* ago; It la" easily recalled to mind by most of us. And it may be that there are some individuals who have not changed their attitude in that respect. However, in the main there’s a new relationship apparent between unttllties and the public they serve. There is greater friendliness, greater understanding. greater co-operation. This Is due to many things, principally the campaign of education conducted by the utilities themselves to take the public more and more into their confidence, keep that public fully informed at all times of what is transpiring and what is contemplated. The public utilities sowed their seed o» fertile soil; they aroused In the breast of man the always existent demand for fair play or the other fellow as well as himself, and because he has taken a greater interest in public utilities man has finally become a stockholder in them. He regards them now as a business in which he also has a financial interest. and it's only natural he should seek to protect that interest in all ways possible. On the lists of stockholders of every public utility today appear more names than ever before, names not only of employes, but also persons i epresenting every walk of life —the great public, in other words. Public attitude toward public utilities has changed because of great public interest and understanding of them. The change has been for the better all around.
