Ed Burke, who gained fame us cap>taln of the Celtic basketball team, believes in ‘‘getting 'em young and treating ’em rough." When his wife failed to get up and get his breakfast the other morning, he set fire to.her bed. Now she wants a divorce. Some women just can't take a joke. ♦ These are hot days and you don t .have to work In the harvest field to .discover it. it's hot also in the print shop, in the factory, in the store, it’s hotter than blazes every where—but the directions say take it and so w< are all swallowing it aud trying to smile. Gow’iior Ed Jackson has just returned from a delightful tour through the east and announces he will tike his vacation in August. That sort 'o lets us know that he doesn't want the people to think this little trip of two or three thousand miles is to be considered as time off . A New York millionaire very fool .ishly advertised that he desired to (adopt a daughter who would event, aially become heir to his fortune Now he has a private postoffice and force of employes to take care of the replies and there may be no fortune left when he gets the moment oils question decided. Tim Wells county board of review has reduced the valuations tn the city of Bluffton twenty per cent. They may get away with it but the probabilities are that the state board will five them a horizontal poke in the eye for about thirty-three per cent.. fust to show them who’s driving this car any way. The government will issue sixtyfive million dollars’worth of two dollar bills and since lbo actors and gamblers and others who believe in hoodoos won't have them, it may give some of the rest a chance to secure a roll of these new and alluring lithographs. Tlie old silver dollar has become unpopular and the two-dollar issm- is to relieve the pressure of providing Hie one-dollar bills. The great republican press is fuss ing and stewing about the fact that Milton Elrod, a former editor of the Eirey Cross is now connected with the National Democrat at Washington. Presume thats to couteract any thing which might be said about D. C, Stephenson who claimed he not only ran the G. 0. P. of Indiana but the whole state. People in this section don't think much of Elrod nor will they give support to any thing he is connected with but the good Lord know the republicans of Indiana are the last ones who ought to be horrified by any member or former member of the klan, or by any thing I hey do. Seven school houses in Wells county, condemned by the state board of health, must cither be reconstructed or forever closed. Don’t, know just what was the matter but its quite probable that compared to the school houses which furnished the education for the fathers of the country, they are still palaces. Wonder if we don't overdo things Just a little, in our zeal

Surely I some of these buildings could be 1 temporarily nude safe and healthy so 1 lhat the people of the township could ' get together sufficent money with which to pay something besides the ever mounting taxes. We want good schools and education but we believe also in every body helping every body do the best they can and perhaps the people of those townships over in Wells county think Just as much or more of their children who attend these schools as do those members of the state board of health who never saw them. Lots of people ore ready to plan the President’s working day for him and tell him what he ought to do. But it is not so easy to frame a program for his coming playtime. It looks as though he would do as Dr. Elliot advises and find his pleasure in his work. For what pastime tempts from the desk a man who does not fish. swim, ride horseback or play golf and whose sole recorded recreation since entering the presidency has been a little hayraking in the motion picture's all-seeing eye and the habitual ramble of a few minutes ere the minutely subdivided White House day began? Cleveland went fishing. Wilson played golf. Roosevelt had his tennis cabinet, his boxing instructor, his strenuous hikes and horseback rides. Mr. Taft went out on the links frequently. Harding found relaxation in a yacht trip or a card game.

INDIANA PROHIBITION] Number Os Arrests And Convictions Increase Since Passing Os Wright Bone Dry Law. > By E. S. Shumaker, Supt. Ind. Anli-Saoon League • During the first four months of the • present year—prior to the taking est feet of the Wright codified dry taw 1 the following penalties were meted out to prohibition violators by courts ' throughout the state: 106 convictions resulting in jail, penal farm, and state prison sentences aggregating 1,498 months —an average of 3.7 months for • each conviction. Fines assessed at 1 the same time totalled $53,617, or an average of $132 for each conviction. B During the first two months of operations under the new Wright law 1 577 persons were fined in totals amounting to $74,582, an average of • a little less than $l3O each. At the same time prison or jail sentences 1 were assessed amounting to a total V of T. 698 months—a average of nearly 3 months for each person convicted. » Thus, during the first six months ii of the year 1925, a total of 983 persons have, in various courts of the t state, been given prison and jail sentences amounting to 3,196 months — i-1 an average of about 3.2 months each. llEines averaged about $l3O to ;■ 'each?conviction, or a total of $128,199. y • , In the federal court, presided over a by Aulgej Baltzell, in less thau five s guilty , of violating the Volstead law. h- . . k\ I '

It's the man and not has words which we Junge front day Io day. Thrre’s a subtle inner sense art can never I'-ad astray; And some < lever ehap may fail though all eloquent he be Should the men who hoar him feel that he lacks sincerity \ We can see a deed of skill, we can hear a lovely phrase, Cleverness the eye can tell and to that we give our praise: Bitt sincerity defies art or Cunning to reveal. For the subtle ring of truth is a thing which we must feel.

| Penalties assessed against them have totalled 798 months in jail or prison, and $41,400 in fines. This is an average of 5.6 months in confinement and $290 line'for eaeh conviction. Combining sentences in both fed era ant! state courts for the first six months of 1925 we find: 1.126 eon victions with jail and prison sentences amounting to 3,994 months, or nearly 333 years, an average of 3.5 months for each conviction; and fines totalling $169,599, an average of over $l5O each. Both time sentences and fines arc stiffer in Judge Baltzell's court, although the Indiana dry law is more drastic in its maximum provisions than is the Volstead act. — o— Opinions Differ As To Effect Os Bone Dry Law Laporte. Ind., July 10. — Opinions differ sharply as to the effect of the Wright bone dry law on prohibition enforcement in Laporte county. Prosecutor Dilworth said the law had made the county a vertitable desert.
