The state accountants have examined the books of Charles W. Ya ger for the last year of his term a; mayor and have given him a clear slate. Everything was found ir "spick and span” condition and every penny duly accounted for. That's th< way we do business here. The same accountants, Mr. Pritchard and Mr Bales, by the way inlgh(y fine men. have concluded an examination of tin county officials up to date and in each anti every instance the records are perfeet, an excellent reommendation for any county of which we are justly proud here in old Adatns. A reader who signs him.elf "Jus. lice” takes exception to an editorial in Tbtirsdity's paper in which we said the "Montpetit r strikers were lucky that no one was killed in the explosion," det taring that, to be propagttn da bpfore the trial.

Johnson, mayor of Gary, has made a wonderful financial record during the past year and is being given great credit therefor. The records there show that January Ist, 1922 the city had no funds, had out $112,00(/ over due lime warrants and $47,000 in unpaid warrants. The report filed by the city tomptroller on December ."Ist last, showed $182,772 had been taken up and that the city had on hands nearly SBO,OOO in cash and severities. Mr. Johnson's relatives and friend- here are very proud indeed jf the record established by him. along the line of financial management of me of the buesiest cities in Indiana. It begins to look very much as though Mr. Garner's tax revision bill

which would aid six million income tnx payers will be considerably more popular than Mr. Mellon's bill which aids only 12.000 tax payers in the railed States. Meetings are now being held and the rumors from Washington are that a compromise bill which will virtually be the Garner ■ lilll will be rushed through. That's good sense, political and otherwise. There is no reason why the federal I taws should not be reduced anti fall- j ure to enact a law for that purpose | pill be nothing but criminal. The 1 thing to do is to public the benefit and reduce the tax, not only j to the capitalist, but the middle class , as well. Go to church tomorrow. Go to ( your own church.

) ty is most assuredly good for those f in every part. I - , The Evangelical church was filled with people last evening but there was plenty ,of room in the galleries ■ for a hundred more and it is the hope • that those seats will be occupied tonight. Rev. White brings to the peei pit of this community some messages we nil should hear, without a word o.’ f criticism against any sect or creed, without any emparrasing acts to create sensatloual periods. He preaches the Word of God and in away that makes those who hear him think seriously. If he can lift us up and make us extend ourslevt's a little, more, he will dp much. The services while under the aupices of the Presbyterian church are being enjoyed by everyone regardless of church affiliations and will continue about ten

days. —o— - Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete' Ft. Wayne Central won a game l ist night, but we don't see how they can get much of a kick out of it. They beat Berne 21-19 with a field goal in the last fifteen seconds —and its legality was questioned—while two weeks ago Bluffton beat Berne 409. And you know that Bluffton doesn't have a championship contender this year. Kirkland high’ is going to make some noise in the district tourney this year front present indications. In Ernst, the gymless wonders have a high class center. Yager and Carson work together good as forwards and the two guards play a creditable game. Coach Center's men showed improvement over their playing in the game against C. C. H. S. Their passing and basket-shooting was much better. The Yellow Jackets dropped an argument to the Sturgis. Michigan, quintet last night. Overconfidence probably had a lot to do with the locals' defeat, although Sturgis has a •crappy little team. Tonight is the time to redeem yourselves. Yellow Jackets. Pile up a big score on Garrett and we'll forget all about the Sturgis game. According to a Garrett dispatch in a Fort Wayne paper. Garrett has forgotten about the defeat Decatur handed th< m at Garrett recently. The story stated that Garrett and Auburn had lost one game each this season, and that to Angola Refreshen their memory tonight, gang. Vincennes almost upsei the fast golnrt Bedfo:d five last night.
