A prisoner from South Bend, in the custody of a deputy sheriff, escaped while on their way to the state reformatory. Evidently he did not want to help in the building of that Institution.

In the meantime Harry F. Sin- < lair. the oil magnate, around whom ( centers the leasing of the naval oil ( reserves, will arrive in this country , and then the whole matter and a fewmore "leads" will be worked up again. The internal revenue men advises the taxpayers to pay only half tit the total income tax due the government, on your list year’s profits figuring that tin- new tux law, if passed by congress, will decrease the rate, on the incomes for 1923. With many It will bo difficult to scrap up the one-half due the government. The Indiana Public Service commission has ordered a reduction in freight rat'® on Indiana coal, to all points in the state outside of Indianapolis. The redaction amounts to ten cents a ton and becomes effective April Ist. That** a little relief. but the person who has to burn thia Indiana coni might feel that he is entitled to some reduction. This county will benefit by the cut. Coal pricns are lower now than they were last summer and local dealers are of the opinion that they have reached the bottom. At least you can purchase a good grade of coal now for less money than you paid last spring or summer and If you want to make a little saving and take chances on n lower rvdu<Hon. now Is the time to fill the bin for next winter, providing you got this year’s bill paid. One of the things that helped to Influenrc Abraham Lincoln in mauling his fine lovable character was the reading of Rood books. Every school child knows the story of how Lincoln sought more Information and how he craved to r»-ad books. But Mncoln was always careful to road good and wholeKotne books and ns a means of wlmatlny yiurr.-W, th., reading of Btsal, clean and Instructive hooka t un Ih- highly n< omim nd.-d, ITenldeat CooUdgu. fearing an investigation of th. affair, has ord-Ad that the proposed nxpodltlon to the North Ptde in the Hhenandouh be cancelled. A White House spokesman Is tredlled with the assertion that th<prrsld- nt wished to have tongressbinal approval of the project before Hie sky runner started on Its told jour U'-y, If a congressional committee is to Investigate the affair the Nhcnnndnah will not "get through the ice" this y<wr.

This rftafi VflfcderH lca& kfic* how to cause a sensation. His argument for giving voice to such a nasty insinuation against the former president of the United States was to bring ' the rumor to a climax and to clear the memory of his dame. He at least brought the matter to a head and was 1 forced to admit that his story was based on rumor. The senate committee ought to at least clean up the matter without any, more wild rumors und scandals. Times have changed and age does not seem to be a drawing line for the conventionalities that society formerly thought hud to be observed. It is not uncommon now to sec father, nmnther, son and daughter in the barber shop, awaiting their turn to have the latest hair cut, shingled or featb er-edged style. Bobbed hair for the girls and women is here to stay it seems and as Arthur Brisbane remarked some months ago. "in five years all the women in the country will have it bobbed.” The farmers in this territory who grew beets for the Holland-St. Louis Sugar company fast year have received in the way of a bonus, $160,000.00. , which was distributed to them this week. Complying with their contract the sugar company agreed to pay the beet growers a minimum guarantee of $7.00 per ton for the beets, plus a | bonus based on the price for sugar for I three months. The average price for 1 sugar during these nionths was 9.29 • i .cents a pound, giving the beet grow er >9.29 a ton for his beets. The Hol land-St. Louis company distributed 1 hundreds of thousands of dollars to the beet growers and those who were employed at the mill during the cam paign and Decatur is justly proud of the fact that it is the home of the only beet sugar factory in Indiana. It it an institution to feel proud of. o a-axt-UQ# 1 Was Christ divine? Let those rt ply Who lived with him and saw him die.
