It may surprise you to know that ’ last Saturday was one of the ten j coldest days on record since 1873 I when the government began keeping ) tab on the weather throughout the 5 middle west. The bffiriul tempera- ’ lure at the Indianapolis station was J thirteen below zero. That was the une registration as on January 29, 1873, January 12, 1825 and January 25. 1897. On January 9, 1875, it was IS below, January 3, 1877, 22 below, January 5, 1884, 25 below, January 10, 1886, 15 below, January 7, 1912, 16 below, January 12, 1918, 19 below. A peculiar fact is that all these coldest days came during the month of January. Whether it be in national, state, county, city or district affairs, there Is no magic about appropriating money out of the public treasury. The money taken out for any purpose must first be put in.

Then lower taxes will I i.m<- sure and within a few months. - The review of the past year and the prediction for the coming year, by France Center. secretary of the Decatur Industrial association and width appeared in this paper Saturday was a well written story by a capable young man who has devoted iuui h time to securing details of business affairs in this community, if you hare not read it carefully, do -<> for It contains much of real merit and worth to those who are boosting for this city and county.

Wayne, Tuesday night of this week by Fortune Gallo'S San Carlo Grand Opera Company, was founded on the novel "La Vie Boheme" (Bohemian Life) by the French writer Henry Murger:. The book depicts in remarkably vivid and realistic style the life of the poets and artists in the Paris laitln Quarter about the year 1830. The four boon companion who lived optimistic poverty high up In a garret studio are the main characters of the story. They are Rodolfo, a dreamy and lovelorn poet; Marcel, a boisterous and fun-loving painter; Colline a philosopher. and JSchaunard, a musician. Into their lives ar<- introduced the two charming girls, Mimi and Milsetta, the former beloved of Rodolfo, and the latter of Marcel. Mimi and Musctta are absolutely opposite in finds a lover in keeping with her que. The former is like delictkfe flower, that will wilt rapidly If left unattended, while the latter is a real soubrette, keen for a Jolly party anil Roodfellowship. Needles to say. each finds a lover in keepinfi with her typeThe premiere of the completed opera took place at the Tealro Reggio in Turin on Feruary 1. 1896. and eventual productions in other countries brought Puccini world-wide and well deserved fame. Some of the gems of the opera are the splendidly dramatic and gripping narrative Os Rfidcflfo in the first act.

E WEMHOFF. Decatnr, Indiana, — Many Counties Organize Historical Societies Indianapolis, Jan. 7—Hoosiers Just naturally have a historical bent, as well as a taste for the artistic. During the past five years, sixtyfour historical societies have been organized In Indiana for the purpose of. preserving Hoosier art and historical relics. This progress in the movement for establishment of county museums as reported by Harlow Lindley, director of the Indiana Historical Commission, is only a forerunner in the plans of* the commission. At present the most serlbus problem of the commission is when to place paintings and relics presented by citizens. For example, there is the newest addition. a beautiful painting by F. C. Yohn. "The Fall of Fort Sai svillle," depicting the surrender'of the fort to George Rogers Clark by Colonel Hamilton of the British forces. The commission had no place to put the pafating. ao it is hanging on the bare wails of the commission offices in the State house. The Indiana War Memorial, however, will take care of historical relics and paintings, according to present plans. - - o — Shelbyville—Although her husband had money to buy three automobiles, he bought her only three pairs of shoes during their four years of mar-
