Spring backed out today after sniffing around for a couple of weeks and the mercury is trying to look iuto the zero well again. Oh well, it was a little early for the blue birds and violets and blue gills and things any way, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that winter at this time of tho year can't have u very stiff back bone. There may not be many Democrats in the state Udslature but the few there are the kind of lighters that find away. If the majority want to pass any of their important hills, ineluding the approprations, they belter he good and we predict that in due time they will awaken to that fact. Onr guess is that the doorkeeper sent ovec to Ohio to arrest the seventeen boiling senators will compromise by “sitting in” with them. We are still hoping to renew the hundred or two subscribers to the Daily Denuxrat who have not taken advantage of our offer to renew at the price of three dollars per year in advance. We don’t want to lose a single one and it won't be our faull if we do. We promise lo furnish you the most important items of news ol the comity, state and nation for less than a penny a day. That’s as cheap as :t can be done and we are hoping lor your support. If you want lo know what is to be done with the money now being raised by I lie Red Cross for the relief of the families of tile fifty-one men killed in the mine explosion lasi Friday, it may he of interest to know Fiore were eighty-seven children made orphans, seventeen mothers and fatli ers dependent on tin; wage of those killed, thirty-five widows who must face the future without means of support Plans to educate the children and lo make life as easy as possible for those dependent are now being made and into the fund for this purpose will all donations be poured. Senator Med ill McCormick, senior senator from Illinois and part ownei of (he Chicago Tribune, died very suddenly in his room in a Washing lon hotel yesterday. There seems to be some dispute as to the cause ot his death, reports varying as to win ! her il was heart trouble, gastric bemniorhagn or something else. The coroner after several hours delay relurind a verdiel that death was due 10 natural causes. McCormick was of middle age and supposedly in good health.

Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Ken lucky, great sums are being expend od and il is anticipated that the state of Indiana will spend millions during the next two years, but this will not take eure of all the important roads. If we want to Keep pace with Ohio we will have to meet them on at. least two roads, the one which joins up to the state line this side of Wiltshire and the one which crosses the Indiana border seven mites east of Herne. It is foolish to expend more money on maintenance of these roads which are so heavily traveled and the suggestion to at least investigate the possibilities or hard surface roads is worth while.

This Is the warning sounded by Dr. W. Horton, director of the (’.-inHiiiiili Health Service Institute, writing In this week's issuo of Eiherly. “The writers have been prescribing (he morning fold hath for so many years that it seenis a pity to lake Issue with th'-in.” Dr. Hsrton says. “As a matter of fart. I agree with them that a. morning cold tub or shower hath is an excellent thing for a number of people. But. If my oxj perience is any guide. It is only an excellent thing for one person in four. “The tdst is simple, Everybody feels better 'inmedlatelr after the morning cold bath. There is a surge of well-being. Yon assail your breakfast and the world in general with the courage of a lion. But how do you feel about ten or eleven o’clock* In the morning? if you still have your btioyaucy and clearness of head, then your bath lias been a help to you. But If there ts a feeling of lassitude and weakness, then the morning cold bath is a mistake. “Why is this? Simply because your system, low in animal heat at that time, resents tho shock of the cold bath ami the consequent loss of heat. "Yet you want to continue that cold bath, don’t you? Well, here is a sim pie method used by a great many people. Put into the tub three or four inches of warm water, or enough to cover your ankles. Then turn the cold spray on your body. You will thus get the reaction of the cold hath, with all its benefits, and not lose so muck animal heat so early In tho morning Try it.” o — Cost Os Living On Increase Everywhere Geneva,— Switzerland is uow lead iug the entire world in increaser cost of living, according lo comparative statistics just completed here. In order to show the precise relative increase in the cost of living in all of 11be leading countries the index figures hav been reduced to the 6»>ld franc basis for each country, j As compared with the cost of living { before the war, the present increase in ibc various countries are as follows: Switzerland, 1772 per cent as again 166 in 1923. England, 171 per cent as against 119 In 1923. Sweden, 167, as against 162 in 19233. Holland, 161 as against 115 in 1923. United States, 159. as njptiust 151 in ! 1923. Norway, 156, as against 110 in 1923. Chechoslovakia, as against 112 in 1923. Canada, 151 as against 150 in 1923. France, 115 as against 123 in 1923 Belgium, 115 as against 127 In 1923. Germany, 115 as against 110 in 1923. Austria, 113 as against 127 in 1923. Italy, 112 as against 180 in 19233. These figures show that without a single exception the cost of living is still on the Increase in every country. o Products Os Club Boys Would Fill 5.31 Cars Siippose some morning you should drive up to the railroad track and have to wait for ten freight trains of 30 cars each and another one of 31 cars to pass. This number of ckrs, 531, would be required to carry to market, the products produced by the 8.199 boy club members in Indiana last year, according to the annual rc port completed Dec. 31, by the club division of the Agricultural Extension Department of Turdue University, UDder whose auspices this work is conducted. These trains would consist of approximately 300 cars of corn, 95 cars of potatoes. 50 cars of dairy calves, 31 cars of beef calves, 45 cars of pigs, livo cars of lambs, aud two cars of colts, using tlie customary number of bushels or head of livestock' per car. in other words, this is more than 258,000 bushels of corn, 57,371 bushels ot potatoes, 817 dairy cows, and calves, 810 market beef calves, 3,071 market hogs, 607 lambs aud 23 colts. This loaves out of consideration the 2.940 bushels of soybeans produced In that club, the 3,000 trec3 taken c*re of by tho orchard Hub members, tho 59,138 chickens cared for h.v the poultry clubs U 3 well as the products produced by farm management and garden club members, enough for many more cars. The members wero scattered in 90 of the 92 counties of the state. And while the boys were busy producing all the»e car loads ot food ami food products the 4,623 girls were

, busy w.lh cunning, baking, sewing i i uud health club work, in the baking u Hubs there wero rnado 11.911 loaves ’ 1 of bread, 11,678 rolls aud 2,601 cakes ' end pid*. In the canning clubs there ; were eatined 80.450 quarts of fruits, vegetables, meals and soups. The icwlng girls msde n total of 14.758 garments ftiid coats besides mending And patching 86 girls kept complete , hralih records over the required pHlod of time. * Everyone closely associated with boys and girls club work realizes that | the real value to come from this great I epterprlse Is educational rather Ihsii economical. The training that came along with Iho successes ami failI urea which there 12.822 boy* and girts experienced during the year Is worth Infinitely more than the money which they made on their products. Educators are realizing more than ever the valuP of club work In « strong educational program. The 12.822 enrollment figure represents those who carried their projects throughout the seuson aud made the final reports. It does not include nearly 4.500 others enrolled at the 1 start of the season who for one reas- ! on or another were unable to finish the work.
