Foreign Representative Carperter A Company, 12$ Michigan Avenue, Chicage, The house has passed a hill appropriating over fifty million dollars with which to operate the stale the next two years. What's that? Did you mention something abont economy? Oh shucks, child, that was for cam paign consumption. You shouldn't bother them with reference to such a tiling just now. A bill passed congress which increases the saladies of members to SIO,OOO a year. There is perhaps no doubt that members of that body have to economize to get by on the present salary of $7.500 but there is also some doubt as to whether most of I bent earn what they now receive cr not. The Wright bone dry hill provides for the use of hard liquor by the physicians who arc authorized to issue prescriptions which contain a! cohol but they‘failed to pr ovide an; way for them to get it, probably tin lit ipa ting a lime when ti.o govern ' I mint will furnish it for medi - nal' pur- ' j o es. How about your subscription to the ‘ Daily Democrat? This is the dos ing week of the campaign and we arc hoping that the hundred or two who hyve neglected it, will tie a string around their finger and remember to do it this week. We are anxious to make it one hundred per cent perfect and we can do it with just a little assistance from those who have put it off. Statistics as now compiled show that during tin- past fifteen years this country has produced 21.000 automc biles which have been sold for forty b'lliott dollars. That's a lot of money which had to come front some whore and which had much to do with the changed conditions in this country. It answers the query of: “Why don't we get back to pre-war comii tions?" The report shows that only v a million cars leave been exported and seven million have gone to the junk pile, leaving 17,000.00(1 in oper at ion. Experts believe the; point of saturation w It lie reached when there ' is a car for each of the 27.0iin.00b families censused in the United ' Slali-s. It shows that the average life of a car is eight years and that 1 Ihe life of tires has been doubled dm ' ing the pasl five years. That’s some- ‘ thing. Sc'ictor Saunders. editor of the 1 Bluffton Banner, who is a me tuber of ( the pre" “tit s tate senate, says: "A < petition containing some two bun- • tired thousand names, protesting 1 aguiiml the Kissinger blue Sunday : lew. presented to the state legis l.ctute yesterday. The petitioners 1 seem to hive no knowledge of the feel llml the Kissinger bill was with drawn from the legislature some two week: ago, and Um Leonard bill, in Jim somite, is so liberal that Rev. Joiomon of the Lord's Day Alliance has asked that it not be passed, preferring no law to the proposed measure. Those who want their ‘personal I berty’ and all that tteejl have, uo fear of the’ 'Sunday Blue Law,' it js toothless, spineless and without kick And even it may not pass, and we jtill Ice left to worry along as we have been.’’ 4»jn,nr~~ s ~Tw*nrwfca—Mavn-w tw Luffl ths last tew days you never

Perhaps most of you never even knew there was a town by that name but there and it was tlie scene of an act of iravery at tlie hands of these two non last Saturday afternoon. Earlier n tlie day six men had held up a bank in a little Michigan town and -fohii fifty thousand dollars worth of bonds and about $3,000 in cash. They were heading towards South Benil when Hie word was passed along. Ackley and Smith took their shot guns and went out to meet them md they did. And they didn't waste any shots. When the bandits showed fight they let them have it with the result that j-very man in the bandit car was injured and captured. A few (nstanees of this kind will do more to brciik up the present epidemic than all Ihe iaws that the legislature can write on tlie statute books for most, of tlie boldness of men engaged in banditry these days is inspire'! by lheir knowledge lliat few citizens are prepared to oppose them on equal terms. These who faced a squad of desperate criminals and whipped lliem into arrest deserve much praise and a medal for bravery. 0 ***«*«**••*•♦* • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ • From the Deity Democrat fllee • • • e 20 years ago thia day • >•«••••**••••* Feb. 24—The vizard bill to permit building of township line macadam |i - bv petition, dividing the cost between townships effected, passes

' Dye, of Kokomo, general chairman of tlie Indiana inaugural committee, and Clyde A. Walb, chairman of the Republican stale committee. ! An important result of tile confer- ■ cnees is seen in tile announcemeut that a reduced railroad tare to Washington and return has been obtained for the passengers on tile “Indiana Special" train, which will leave Indianapolis Sunday evening, March 1. Mr. Dye stated today that every deta- in connection with the trip lias been taken care of, assuring members of the party an enjoyable journey ' entirely free from the usual worries and discomforts of travel. "The committee ba» arranged to care for round-trip railroad fare,'' Mr. Dye said, “sleeper and meals, going | and coming, a room in the Hotel La- ' fayettc for four days, a complete i sightseeing trip while there and the Indiana dinner and dance—all for the : sum of SBS for each person." The i cnairman stated that the only addi- | tional expense will lie meals and other incidentals while in the capii tol. Governor Ed Jackson and Licttlen uit Governor F. Harold Van Orman. I with their wives, will head the In diaua delegation, it is announced. Agreements liave been made witli leaders of the Indiana legislature by which they will withhold measures passed by both houses until the return of Governor Jackson, Thursday, March 5. This action was necessary , necause of a constitutional provision ; ■ which provides that bills passed by :he Assembly and submitted to the Governor loust Oe signed or vetoed in three days. A large number of prominent Republicans, both men and women, from all parts of the state have already •ent in their reservations for the trip, the number indicating that the special train will be well filled. Others who are planning to make the trip are urged to send in tlicir reservations at once, due to the shortness of time. Reservations should lie sent cither to Mr. Dye at Kokomo, or to Mr. Wall) at the Republican state beadquarters at the Hotel Severin, Indianapolis. The train bearing the Indiana party will leave Indianapolis station at 8 ' .o'clock Sunday evening. Arrange- . ments have been made by which those living in the southern and. 1 southeastern part of Ute state may obtain excusion rales directly from ) their homes to Cincinnati where they will board the special train al 10:30 ’ o'clock Sunday evening. The route the Hoosiers will fellow takes them directly through the famous Piedmont section of the Shenandoah valley. The schedule is such ' that the train will pass through the roost striking scenery during Monday morning and part of the afternoon. 1 One or more short stops will be made in order tliat the passengers may better appreciate the scenery. Four large sightseeing buses in Washington have been chartered for the entire day Tuesday and will be , used to take the Indiana delegation to Mt. Vernon, the Arlington cent etery and other points of interest in and near Washington, including all the important public buildings. A big event of flic trip will be the Indiana dinner at the Hotel Lafayette Tuesday evening. Prominent Indlanians. including Postmaster Gen - eral Harry S. New, James A. Davis, Secretary of Ijabor, Senator James Watson, David Hogg, Represent ' live from the Twelfth Indiana dis trict, and several others, will be the speakers of the evening. Fred S. Purnell, president of the Indiana Society in Washington, who has -boen active jn assisting with the arrangements. will act as toastmaster. A dance will follow the dinner. 1 Wednesday, of course, will be devoted to the inaugural ceremonies. Thursday the Hoosiers will be given an opportunity to spend the day as 1- they desire. The special will leave Washington Thursday evening, arriving at Indianapolis at 8:30 o'clock Friday evening. x

Mr. Sprunger escaped with minor injuries, such us scratches on his face and bruises about his body.' His auto, however, was badly wreck . . < <l. He was alone in his auto. The accident occurred at the lumber yard crossing, a block south of the main street in town. Fortunately 1 that crossing is near the depot and tlie train was coasting slowly to the station, else the eollision might have ' resulted much more seriously. Mr. Sprunger was preparing to attend the I morning services nt the Mennonite . church in Herne and had gone to tlie lumber yard garage to get his Ford • sedan. From the garage he drove east I toward the D. Il &I. railway tracks, and apparently was not thinking that ,< train was approaching.
