The four ages of man as given in this modern age are:— bossed by mother, bossed by sister, bossed by wife, bossed by daughter. But of course that doesn’t apply to Christmas time. * * * * We arc drifting into a rather freakish position in world affairs. We absolutely won’t belong to any thing but claim the right to butt in if we happen to want to. Somewhere, some way, some time, we are going to get in bad. ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Its a wonder some cross-word editor hasn’t figured out one which shows how dad made fifty dollars buy two hundred dollars worth of Christmas gifts. Might as well, since they have had him every thing from a preposition to a five toed sloth. •¥¥ ¥ ¥ At last it has happened. A burglar alarm in a bank actually worked at Noblesville, Indiana, the other day and six well dressed young men who had pointed a revolver at the president, turned and tied. We have often wondered why this accident had not occurred before. ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Don’t think because you have put off your Christmas shopping that you can’t do it. The stores are still well stocked with all kinds of articles for Christmas. Make up your lists and get busy at once. Look over todays advertisements. They will tell you how and where. ¥¥ ¥ ¥

The Good Fellows club roster will soon be complete. Will your name be there? You will want yours recorded with the others of this community who feel enough Christmas spirit to see that every boy and girl in the community has a real Christmas, won’t you? Drop your dollar in one of the boxes today or tomorrow. Times about up. .¥¥ * ¥ Those who are making such a fuss because the new residence for the president of the state university at Bloomington cost $60,000 are evidently forgetting that we built a reformatory a couple of years ago and tied up lour million when it was on \ half finished. If law violators are entitled to marble baths, the president of the state university ought to have a tin one at least. Os course its too much. So is everything else we buy lor the public, isn’t it? ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Harry New, postmaster-general has invented a plan, or at least thats what he terms-it, to raise money with which to in crease salaries to the postal workers and it includes a one hundred per cent increase in postage on newspapers. loiatj any figures this will make the newspapers take the \ it w ' .at in< leas ed salaries are not so necessary and thus peimit tit >1 o hornin’. And probably he’s right in his deductions. Me are prone to urge an increase when it doesn t cost us any mg when it does, —well that’s different. ** ¥ ¥ Dr. Carelton B. McCulloch, democratic candidate for g T °J®™v this year and four years ago has announce* t a a • i ■ a Ist, he will retire from the general practise med'cme and devote his entire time to his work as chief me ica < nee State Life Insurance Company, which place he has held for more than twenty years.

Some one was kind enough to send > me a copy of the Daily Democrat a few days ago and called attention to : an item urging an Old Home Week in 1925. I am one of those who returned to the old stamping ground in 1912 and of all the spots in life, I i think that week stands out the bright- ) est. From the moment we lit in tlje > old town on Monday until we dis- ) banded the parade dreluctantly on ) Saturday night, it was a continuous > round of pleasure. The entertainment was wonderful, the tenures great, the t music inspiring, the souvinirs (I have I mine yet) were just right, but best oi i all we met hundreds of people from far and near whom we had not seen ■ in years. i Nothing you can do will so please

thorns who are away from homo try | Ing to do a little part in the world, a | a repettltion of that great week By nil means have It. Toll Frank 3chlr meyer to < all his gang tor. tier ind got busy, fix the date and let us out aiders help make It as good tin (hat other one was. Tell Duke Stoops, to come on and settle that dispute about whether he or Nick Miller won (he most agates nt marbles, send word to Frank Mann and the Harts and Millers and Stoops and Mfebers and all the others to come on and be young again. These occasions make life worth living. Sure have old Home Week. And Old Timer.
