A fellow can get along without a hath every couple of weeks if he has to and we have a surplus of wheat, so why contplaiu all the time? Here is the editorial appearing iu the New York World upon the death of Senator Lodge: "In view of the comment on the policies and on the character of Senator Lodge which has appeared on this page fn the course of the last 1 x ( few years. The World refrains from , comment now. It would be intposs- j ihle tor The World to offer praise I without hypocrisy or dispraise with- 1 out offense. i l "in the cities and smaller towns,” writes a business reviewer, "the de- ' maud for staple goods is about nor- ] mal. but not exigent, and luxuries and - gewgaws are neglected. The shoe i industry is ix-tter, probably because people ire riding less and walking more, and is the only line in which l a distinct improvement is reported.” , Attention is invited particularly to that last sentence. If it is really true that people once more are wearing out shoe leather faster than auto-j mobile tires, it -'s a remarkable reversal of the situation. And without I any animu s against the automobile,| it m iy be said also that the change! represents a notable gain in thrift and health, however temporary it may prove to to. lot people buy and use motor cars, b: all means. They justify themselves to the great majority of buyers, in many ways. Bat prove to he. Let people buy anil use good old bipedal method of locomotion, latterly in danger of growing obsolete, is just so much to the good. There seems to ’be a slight indication at least that a boom of prosperity i s ahead. How much of that is politics and how much is real, we admit we can't teH. We hope it comes as does every good American but the advance In the stock markets and in prices on goods the average person hasn’t got for sale is not proof. We can't see just where the business is to come from so long as we have a surplus and no foreign market worth mentioning but * perhaps the government Gods have some hiddeh magi whereby they can do it. Lets hope yo. But, whether there is to b • i great boom or not, this community cannot profit from it unless' / we we get busy and set things mot ■ lng. V.Y are too satisfied it seems. We believe we can by pulling together and by making proper effort, land a new industry or two and we are sure we can boost those we have, which by the way are going fine. Come on hoys, wake up, boost for Ada. county and Decatur aud we will have good times here, while the rent of the world wags on.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With . Richard Barthelmess Screen Star Writing concerning Richard Barilhtdmc.HK on the screen, a reader re- . centlv remarked —"first met him in 1 • ’Broken Blossoms' and (he last time j I saw him was In 'Way Down East’.’’ j Picture actors and actresses seem to I have a “close up” speaking acquaintI anee with millions whom they never I have mot face to tuce. J At Mamaroneck. New York. Richard Barthelmess has a home close to his work at the Griffith studios. Hts does not have to carry his lunch with him to his work. Between his first screen appearance with Marguerite (’lark is “War Brides” and his latest screen success in "The Enchumed Cottage,” there is a long upward road, which has led him to stardom. In his creation of the role of a Chinaman in j “Broken Blossoms” he displayed more than the genius of the actor, for he built up a conflicting interest.* not ( only for the hero but a strong repulsion for the villian role. 1 Under thp direction of Mr. Griffith, he has been given full play to his individual genius. In the studio he is always known as “Dick”. He was born in New York City and educated at Trinity College. Hartford. Conn. I Even during his college days he had dreams of a picture career. He spent his full allowance of picture showmoney. The usual experience of playing a few “extras” before being discovered by Mr. Griffith did not carry him off his feet. In pictures it is more and more realized that artists are dependent upon u variety of conditions as well as the directors- picture success is a composite one. In the case of Richard Barthelmess it must be conceded that his individuality shines out beyond the mere pantomime instructions of the director. In personal appearance he is a sturdy, manly chap, and is the very antithesis of many of the characters he has portrayed. He is an easy con- i versationalist and is quite in love with his work. "Sometimes it seems that in making a picture we are in another world. We keep thinkiug and living the part. A millionaire in the cast scents to think that he has a million, although he may not have a balance

One of the favorite forms of imposing new fangles on the people these days is 10 produce new regulations l;i: an,-.i,-.ioliiles. ,3'iiioirg' -tire “tewssuggested for the coming session and which will receive due consideration are the following: driver’s license 1 law, age limit law, provide every car with speedometer and mirror; ’ speed governor; brake inspection • (more jobs); increase speed limit to thirty-five miles an hour; against glaring headlights; against riding three in front seat; increased license fees; increased gasoline tax: requiring all autos to stop ,<t railroad tracks; making insurance compulsary; make spot lights compulsary and about a hundred others. Some are fair, a few are good, most are to either raise money lor the administration or help out some manufacturer. More reflections “on~the beneficial efforts of jazz There was a time when music seemed to have passed out of the American home. The phonograph and player-piano had relegated to the background tlie old -familiar group, with sister at the piano, brother sawing the violin, and papa coming on the cornet when he could find his place on the score. Jazz, it is true, has not brought the old group ba(k intact. Bui it has brought another group. Sister still play H the piano. Brother lias given up the violin, but he has picked up the ukulele and bass drum, aud papa lias learned the saxopitone. Thus music is restored to the home aud the threatened atrophy of amateur peri form unco has not taken place. In- • deed, with the advent of the ukulele amateur performance took a big step 1 forward. Anybody can play the tl ukulele—one iqasters the instrument

of a dollar in the bank. It is only tin villian who can- lay off his camera scowl and be himself. Even the pretty girls think themselves pretty whether they are or not. That is sot the screen to tell. ‘Make up’ has more to do with screen effects than ar audience imagines. A detail in one scene is often studied for hours, then done over and over ugain. Only a beginning has been made in pictures. There is room for etching deeper and getting at an interpretation that is not altogether dependent on the es sects of a flattened shadow. There is a dtpth and background in interpretation to be sought in acting just the same as in the photographic effects. Thai depth gives feeling, fixes the character of the scene more permanently in mind and takes it out of the flashing rapidly of the news re£l.” In every act and expression Richard Barthelmess reflects the training of a college man. He expressed much in terest in 'Way Down East' and told an interesting story concerning the production— V\ e were in the very atmosphere ot Way Down Hast.’ The cows were in the stable and there the smell of hay. Everything gave us the feeling of a perfect rural setting. There was a real snowstorm and while i will not divulge any of the studio secrets, I will say there was real perspiration n that ice scene.” K« laughed with one of those bewitching smiles which wins the hearts of the unsophisticated lassies everywhere, who go home from the movies to dream of their handsome hero Dick.”

Mr. I Briggs is a son W. W. Briggs, former Postmaster at Geneva. 31 r. Briggs has hatl his headquarters In anti around Springfield 111., and has been, in charge of the concrete roads being bunt by the state lin that section of the state. During 1924 approximately 1.000 miles of hard surfaced roads have been constructed in Illinois and the 1925 and 1926 road programs will be larger than any previous year, it was stated. At the November election the voters of Illinois, adopted Gov. I,en j Small’s bond issue law and voted to j spend *100.000,000 in building new j hard surfaced roads during the next |two years. This year a bond issue aif ;$60.1100.000 made it possible to build jnew- roads. On October 1. 1924, the .state of Illinois had 4.147.24 miles of hard surfaced roads constructed, while 261.53 miles of road were tinder contract. On Oct. 1. 1924. 1.414 qew* , bridges were also constructed in the i state Illinois holds the worlds record I for building the greatest number of I miles of hard surfaced roads during i the last two years. In 1921, the state | had only 1.202 miles of concrete pavement. The $100,000,000 hand issue will not be added to the tax duplicate, but will come out of the auto licenses fees collected in the state. The $60,000,- | 000 voted last year also come s out of the auto license fees and according to I statement issued the license fees will also pay the upkeep of the roads.’ ; The road program was one 0 f the is[sues which helped elect Gov.

He said plans are already being j made for a college here that would I take advantage of Gary’s many facilities to aid the student while attending. An endowment $25,990 must be raised tinder the state law before the project can be started, however, he said, hut added that the project was a possibility. According to Wirt's plans the student would attend the school front 4 p. m. to 9 p. m . and work in one of the Gary steel mills or other industries during the remainder of the day. The ordinary four year course would he six years, however, but after the student has completed his school course he would have six years of practical industrial training belilntf him to place hint and shoulders above other college graduates.
