These fine spring days will put the pep into you unless there is something radically wrong with your system. And a little snap and go is good for most of us. Tomorrow is the last day to file your name as a candidate for a city office. The primaries will be held in a mouth and then there will not be much political activity until October when the contest for the November election will open. We are all fed up on the predictions from New York bankers and Washington office holders that the business outlook is good. What most people want more than an outlook i* a realization and that seems mighty slow in arriving. The present times are t<>o jerky to be good. l> C. Stephenson, right hand adviser to the governor is under arrest for an alleged vicious assault on a Miss Oberholtzer, while traveling to Chicago on a Pullman sleeper the other night. The girl took poison and is in a Hammond hospital in a serious condition. The committee on morals ought to talk to this man in a serious way. Another problem for Chairman Walb. Men of vision, power and energy, men who do things and who enjoy a social hour and an exchange of ideas, are those representatives of the General Electric company who were guests at Rotary here last night. They impressed the members of the local dub with their talks and we are sure they enjoyed the evening also. We hope they conic again and often and that the business relations witli this city continue as plea-ant » as they have been in the past. The G.E. ia a splendid organisations. one of the orld's greatest in a business way and it is a wonderful thing to have them as a pirt of our community. We believe the local plant will continue Io grow and will in time be a larger part of our city, even than now. If there is one soul in this fair state of ours who does not yet realize that Hie auto driver is paying some of the road taxes lot him be at once in formed. The new gasoline law went into effect yesterday and another cent was added to the price of auto fuel. Under this law the auto driver will pay seven hundred fifty thousand dollars — three quarters of a million — ibi coming year, and at tbd rate of increase it will mean a full million dollars per year by the end of 1927. <r earlier. Under the new law the style highway crtmiftlsslon will reci' e the ‘ entire, not proceeds from two cent:; of the fhrfce cent tax.

It was found in a cemetery. Utica was the twin city of Carthage, as St. Paul is of Minneapolis. It yielded to the envious Ro-j mans, and so sxived itself when the' Romans destroyed its famous neighbor. dragging out an existence for several more eentnrics until th“ Mediterranean receded, its harbor filled witii silt, its buildings crumb-1 led and the desert sands covered it. ' Now it is being unearthed, like the ruins of Pompeii. That little bank ■ is remarkably like the banks that our children have today, except that it is made ot pottery, whereas ours ate mostly metal. There is the samej kind of . lot tba-t lets money in andi resists letting it out. Perhaps it was intended to be broken when full. It jingled merrily when the discovcrern shook it. After much shaking and turning, they finally extracted half a dozen small bronze coins. There was thrift in ancient Utica and Carthage. and there were probably public banks then, as now. where a little treasure box full of pennies could be deposited. Tito Phoenicians were great financiers. And children then, as now. were torn between the desire to save and the desire to spend. Too bad that the little owner of that little bank never lived to spend his bronze pennies for sugared dates or a wooden boat or a toy elephant—Goshen SjTitees. F. .
