You all should hear him. The legislature devoted one day this week to visiting the palace de luxe at Pendleton, better known as the Indiana Reformatory. Several million dollars of the state's money has been spent there but it doesn't show, isn't complete and many of the accounts against the institution have not been paid. The prison board realizes however that they will have to worry along with less funds than they had hoped for and that those debts heretofore contracted, must be met.

We. i are stepping right along and the city administration your heartiest cooperation. r i — George Washington lias been i'ic- • ttired in school histories as the leader of a group of American colonels who by unanimous consent delegated to him the duty of leading the collides to the achievement of a separate national identity. This view | gives but half a measure of the real George Washington. Jlc was in no sense a tyrant, but there were times < during Ihe revolution when his will lower ami the faith of a handful of loyal soldiers ulonc stood between he revolutionary cause and sure defeat. There were times when he was the revolution. Throughout the whole war it was estimated that as many as a third of the people living in the original thirteen states were openly or secretly doing what they could to help the British. Washington fought not only the British, but his own neighbor;;, and in some cases even men who wore the colonial uniform. Washington's contribution to the present uperiorlty of Hie United States was in writing the best side of the revolutionary victory into the i initial years of the nation. He invented the tiling we call taith in the United States. And this faith is the gre-'iie t : ingle factor in the country's f Uij birthday will in time be ERftidd holiday, set apart to cele- , brft’< (fifth nf political liberty.

The installation of the ornamental posts cost >8.346.87, of which the property owners paid only >2,826.88, the electric department paying the balance. Deducted front the operating revenues of the plant, are expenses, in- . eluding depreciation and interest, labor and coal and all operating expenses of >97,246 93, leaving a credit balance of >32,372.76. The department had on hands. December 31, 1924. a cash balance of >30,870.31. During the year >9.503.44 was advanced for the purchase of new equipment at the plant, but which has not yet been included in the value of the department. On January 1, 1921. the reproduction value of the light aud power department of th« city plant was placed at >139,01*. Since that time the value has been doubled with the addition of new equipment and machinery. In the last two years, approximately >75,000 lias been invested in new machinery, buildings, coal silos, and smoke stacks at the plant. » The contract has been awarded for the furnishing of two new boilers to be installed at the plant, and other equipment, including stokers, will also be installed, making the local plant one of the best equipped and most modern plants of its size in the state. It also is a revenue earner aud all the new equipment is being paid for out of the earnings of the plant. Dodge Brothers Company Re-Elect All Officers 1 Thomas J. Durkin, local automobile man has received the following announcement from the Dodge Bros. Motor Car company of Detroit: “Frederick J. Haynes, president and general manager, aud all other executive officers and members of the directorate of Dodge Brothers were re-elected February 17 at the annual meeting of the board.

“Other officers are: vice-president, Arthur T. Waterfall; treasurer, John Ballantyne; secretary' and assistant treasurer, Harry V. I’openey; assistant secretary. It. J. Fry. “Records of the annual meeting confirmed previous reports that 1931 was by far the most successful year .in Dodge Brothers history. Dodge Brothers were second among N. A. ('. (' members and third in the industry as a whole, both in the number of units produced and in money volume. "The year closed with a total production of 235,633 motor vehicles having a total of nearly $200,000,0(10. These official figures vary only slightly from the estimates announced during the New York automobile show early in January. “Dodge Brothers showed a. 25.4 per cent gain in sales during 1921 in the face of a general decline of 9.1 per cent in the industry. It is also a note worthy fact that Dodge Brothers were the only one of the four leading mot •or car manufacturers in the world who showed an increase over 1923. “Indicative of the present trend toward an even greater year in 1925 is thn showing for January, during which mouth production and sales were considerably in excess of the same month for 1934. “President Haynes made no com ment on the continued progress of Dodge Brothers except to say that the ! remarkable increase in sales is simp , ly a reflection of the strong public confidence that can be built up by starting out with a good product and then striving ceaselessly and cunscientioualy to make it better”
