While we are sitting around wishing for better roads, other communities are getting them. Its time for us to get busy and take care of ourselves. One way to do it is to get into the Penn organization for we assure you the men along this route all the way through Indiana, are the real road Ixiosters who will take you somewhere if you travel with them. The prosecuting attorney and sheriff over in Blackford county will make war on those young folks who sit along the roadside in automobiles and Fords to do their love making. Deputies will be on the lookout for them and will drag offenders into court, making some real sensations no doubt, but aiding at least in breaking up a very dangerous and silly pasttime. Merchants should be advertising right now. This is the time of year when people buy for winter and in every live town and city, the wideawake store keepers are telling the people what they have tor sale. You can reach the people who trade here by using space in the Daily Democrat and if you want to increase your sales, that's just what you will do and do it now. We have no official inside information from the state bouse, but its our guess that if Bill Guthrie, chairman of the state department of conservation, goes through with his pro posed suit against Governor Jackson hod get him into an impartial court, where evidence is permitted, you will learn some surprising facts and get wise to some deals that will cause ■you uneasiness as to the future of the state. If you favor the imprßement of the east and west road with assistance from the state and federal government. brush up the flivver and join the caravan on its way westward tomorrow. Unless we show some enthusiasm and do our part, wo are more than likely so be dropped from the route and that will be a sad blow for this community, for in the future, the towns and cities along the main hard surface highway ;, will be the bukiuess points. The proposed William Penn transcontinental highway, looks to us like a good thing, backed by high-grade men with a real purpose—securing federal aid. marking of the road through the country uniformly, national interest and the shortest and best east and west route. If we are to be a part of it, we must show some interest. A coun'y orgauization must be made at once and delegates sent to the meeting at Huntington tomorrow evening. For this purpose a meeting will be held at the Industrial rooms tonight at 7:30. Be there. Governor Al Smith of New York made a speech in Chicago yesterday. A great crowd was present and many of them it is said expected to hear him step all over the klan, boost his own game, discuss the wet and dry issue or something else, but he didn't. Instead he outlined a program whereby* $200,000,000 a year can be saved if the national government follows his plan. Smith is a man who has done things and is still doing them. He is maligned and accused by many

He’s a bigger man than most of you

think he is. Years ago fond parents devoted winter evenings to deciding the futures of their numerous offspring. Johnny was to be a teacher. Mary would be a trained nurse. Willie would be tutored in the ministry, and perhaps a fourth progeny would be placed in business or kept on the farm. And in the day time the school instructors of Johnny, Mary, Willie and so on believed they had fulfilled their duty if they prepared them for graduation. Few teachers realized that their’s was an exceptional opportunity to help young men and women to pick their life’s work on the basis of their individual qualifications and peculiar abilties- All is different in the educational system of today. Vocational guidance is an established science. The public schools and the institutions of higher learning now strive to fit the curriculum to the student, not the student to the course of study. The student at the same time is directed into a life’s work for which he is especially suited. Many meu and women now failures in life might have been preeminent in their professions or trades had an ounce of direction been exerted in their youth to the selection of a career. A boy with an aptitude for mechanics and the engineeringbranches should not be forced into a legal or literary career because a parent or an instructor is partial to those latter occupations, yet countless have been and many will be in the future. There is a ‘'destiny which shapes our ends” if it is the power which attracts the individual to that thing in. life for which it is most fitted by.nature. o—_ 0 —_ ~ ++++++++ + + + + + + + * Big Features Os * * R A DIO * * Programs Today * + + + + + q, + .- r -J- + + + d- + -I , I Monday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1925 by United Press WCAP, Washington, 469 7:30 p. m.

‘ CRIME WAVE GROWING . Records Os Board Os Charities And Board Os Pardons Show Increase In Lawlessness. I T—- ■ Indianapolis. Sept. 28. — (United i Press)-—The crime wave in Indiana r Is growing with alarming rapidity, it ’ was revealed today by the records of > the state board of charities aud the board of pardons. State prisons arc ■ crowded with over 3,171 convicts this year, compared to 3.703 for 1924. an increase of 1,468 or nearly fifty percent. The work of the pardon board was doubled. Six hundred and twenty-three petitions for executive clemency have been filed during the first six months of this year, iaist year there were only six hundred and twenty-eight petitions filed for the entire year. The major portion of this in prison enrollment can be attributed to liquor violations, auto banditry and robbery. The majority of tbe petitions for executive clemency are filed by old life prisoners and meu sentenced on robbery charges. Dwight Denny, chairman of the State Beard of Pardons attributed the activity on the part of the prisoners, for clemency to the change in administra tiou. .‘The old lifers always take new hope when a new governor is inaugurated,” Denny suid. ‘ The pardon beard is always swamped with these kind es petitions at the start of every regime. Then, too. men up on robbery charges are continually petitioning for paroles after serving three or four months of their sentence.” The increase iu my deptytment.that cannot be attributed to the change in. administration, can without question ' be placed on the number of criminals ; in state institutions, which is larger than ever before. Denny pointed out. > - MILK OUTPUT LARGE — Milk Produced In Indiana In 1924 Would Make Lake Foot Deep. Mile Long And Half Mile Wide. Lafayette.
