CATCHY SONGS IN THE MUSICAL PLAY “WILDFLOWER” If songs that half the town will be singing before long are sufficient to make the success of a musical play, "Wildflower," (The “Bambalina" Show), Arthur Kammerstein's latest production of life, youth and fun. will have more than a satisfactory engagement in Fort Wayne when is comes to the Majestic Theatre on Saturday and Sunday nights, Dec. 8 and 9. The book and lyrics are by Otto Harbach and Oscar Kammerstein, 2nd, and the music by Herbert Stothart and Vincent Youmans. At least three of the song hits —“Bambalina,' “Wild, flower” and “April Blossoms” are of the simple saccharine variety that keeps the song shops thriving all over our lilting land. Eva Olivetti, the well known prima

donna, portrays the title role In the piece and her supporting cast Includes many Broadway favorites. . O r EMPLOYER NOT LIABLE . Warsaw —The request of an employer to n physician to attend an employe does not Imply that the employer will pay the bill or Is in any liable, according to the contention net up by the defendant company, the Indiana Liberty Mutual insurance Co., contained In a d murra'r to the complaint filed by Dr. Paul Garber or medical attention given SamiuJ Huhn. —- ——o The People’s Voice We appreciate our fine roads and are Interested in their care for we help to supply the funds forth dr maintenance. Any close observer will note that our roads are going into winter in had shape. Jgiying aside al] hostile criticism and granting that all the money has been wisely expended a id that the present plan has been utilized as wisely as could be done by anyone, the -fact remains that our road system will require much care in the u< xt year. , Taking for granted that grading is the cheap and quick way of filling' ruts it fails in one half of the causes to do what it is intended to do that is, fill ruts to the best advantage. The grader scrapes in a greater or lesser quantity of fine stuff, oft -n mud. that is splashed out by the first vehicle that follows the twelve of sixteen-dollar-a-day operation. And if the grader is set, as it of -u is, to cut enough material to actua ly fill the ruts, the road bed is perm; nently injured by tearing up the large pieces of stone that form the torn.-! dation. The question is not an easy one ;or solution. Putting on more stone is the rational plan and in tfie way of care, handwork at the proper time is best. It seems to the writer that going back to the old method of every voter over 21 and under 50 years of age. | excusing the ladies of course, being required to do two days work on our ( public roads, would be a plan worth; as much now as formerly and believe the upkeep of an average mile of road would be materially lessened from the hundred or hundred fifty dollars now expended. in a recent series of articles on “Our Roads” in the Dail* Democrat the statement was made that “too often a political machine was made of our road affairs” and It is true in Indiana. I am not saying either of the par-

ties are guiltless that is politics, but it is a shame that our laws make it possible to build a political machine' of road affairs. The “knocker" who has no better plan to suggest is all the term implies, but it seems to the writer that ‘ a plan to give to the lowest bidder a mile or more of road adjourning his premises to care for, .might be' usable, at least, it has this advantage every one knows best the needs of the road he secs every day, and a f< w minutes work at the right time would be worth much. It could often be spare time. While the present method uses days and half days, the other could use much less time. We would have the added advantage, the road past ones premises is just a little more interesting than any other, and will venture to shy, there is no one bat has done some gratis work oliihe stretch of road near or by his premises, that is American signed. “Interested.” Let us hear from oth-rs. o TELEPHONE GETS LIFE SENTENCE Indianapolis, Dec. S-A telephone has been sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor here. The unfortunate. instrument was taken to the city prison and put to work transmitting messages of distress from prisoners to their friends. “Come down and bail mo out." is the message most frequently sent over the phone, which is of the nickel-in-the-s’ot variety. \ o SURPCLIS CARS RISE TO 111,797 Surplus freight ears, because of the seasonal decline in the demand for transportation, on November 22 totaled 111,797, an increase since November 14 of 40,678, 1 according to the American Railway association. The actual reported car shortage on November 22 was only 1,866 cars, a tiecrease of 2,035 within a week.

story when the district champs play their return game here Dec. 28. LET SENDER BEWARE Indianapolis, Dee. B.— lad the sender beware. That's the motto of the Indianapolis postoffice for the holiday rush. Nine times out of ten when a letter goes astray or a package comes thru with part of the contents missing it is because the sender has been careless in writing the address, or put an improperly wrapped package in the mail trusting to luck that it would go through, according to Robert Bryson, Indianapolis, postmaster.
