They elected Pa Ferguson and then fired him. Then they elected Ma to vindicate Pa and now they are trying to oust her. Some folks want what they want but down there they don’t seem to know just what that is. The beet crop and corn crop isn’t entirely safe yet. if you can afford a day or two to help your neighbor 1 out you will be doing a good turn that ought to come back to you some (Jay. Whether it does or not, the knowl- 1 edge that you have done a good act should provide the right kind of feel- i ing in your heart and it will.

The year 1925 with its woes and joys, successes and failures. brigL spots and dull places, is on the last lap. Today starts the closing month of the year and you have one-twelfth of tlie period left in which to conclude the record. While doing that make your plans for next year and lets make 1926 such a good one that it will make up for any shortage in prosperity, happiness or success we have had to take this year. A dozen Indiana democrats are being mentioned for senatorship and several are actively in the race. The list included Fred VanNuys, Joseph Cravens. J. A. M. Adair, Carleton B. McCulloch, Judge Clements. Lincoln Dixon. Daniel Simms, Walter Meyers. Henry Barnhart, Walter Chambers. Evans Woolens and a number of others. Who said we didn't have anybody to run? And these men all be--I’eve they can be elected if nominated. Why not? Drive carefully for at "this season of the year with nearly a million cars running abound over Indiana you are taking serious chances at the best. It can all happen in the twinkle oft an eye and after its over you can’t see where yon did any thing different than you had a thousand times before. Perhaps its the other fellows fault, perhaps its yours, but any w-ay you are safer if you drive more cautiously and at about half the speed you have been going.

During the World war this nation spent forty billion dollars to save the country. Why not spend a billion to save it now? Unless the farmer is permitted to actually earn a profit we are going to have a real calamity one of these days and not so veryfar away. Why can’t the government fix a guaranteed price on corn, wheat and oats for two or three years as they did on wheat during the war? Immediately credits become sound, farmers will be enccmraged, the country will be saved. It need not be continued indefinitely but it should be 'lone until <he man who raises the products is permitted to catch up with the losses of the past fey,’ years. We can’t see healthy good times without it and we doubt it the country can stand it until that time when farm prices come back because of demand.

I read ia the papers that neither the radio, the air mail nor the telephone have adversely affected the telegraph business. The leading telegraph company says that it is doing I three times as tnuch business as it was duftig ten years ago. As tor the

At the same time the telegraph operators ascribe their ability to expedite their service as a principal reason for retaining a fortunate position. If an old thing is good, newer things do not supplant it.—The Dearborn Independent. Several years ago a dozen different organizations conducted Christmas clubs of one kind or another, "giving to the poor, because there was up particular system the clubs often overlapped, several giving to one family while .mother was perhaps left out. To avoid this the work was turned over to the Delta Tan sorority who originated a "Good Fellow’s Club" and all the funds were turned to them. They organized the city and for the past two or three years the work has been most successfully carried on. This year the ladies are planning it again and are willing to do the work connected with the effort. You are asked to donate a dollar or a dime or several of them to the cause. You will find the boxes in the banks, barlrer shops, at this office. Drop your money in early, so that the orders may be sent to Santa in due time for every boy and girl, rich and poor, in the community (may hav e a happy Christmas. Its a fine movement, deserving of your support and we shall call your attention to it frequently that you do not overlook it.

Good Aerials And Grounds. 1 A good aerial and ground are very i necessary if you are to obtain the 1 best results from your receiving set. < To install a good aerial and ground system requires no more time nor 1 I material than does a poor one, where- ' as it does make a great deal of difference in the quality, etc., of reception. A good aerial does not necessarily have to be 100 feet high, as it sometimes is thought, but should be around 30 to 45 feet above ground and clear of all trees, telephone and electric wires, etc. The insulation of the aerial is one thing to be carefully watched, and upon it depends a great deal, its being a good or bad one. Porcelain or glass insulators are the most efficient, and cost no more

than the so-called moulded-mud type. Whenever possible the aerial should be one continuous wire, from the far end to the binding post of the set. However, if it is necessary to splice I the wire at any point, it should be scraped until bright, and a long sptlce made. If, possible, solder it, but if not it should be well taped. Rubber covered wire should be used on the lead-in and ground lead. Insulated window strips are very convenient for bringing the aerial into the house and dp not necessitate drill-' ing holes, etc. An aerial for the average receiver should be from 75 feet to 125 feet in length, including the iead-in. A longer aerial would possibly meau slightly louder signals, but will result in | broad tuning where the shorter one

will sharpen the tuning, and help make the receiver more selective, which is very necessary at the present time. 11 1 For the ground, use a water pipe. ■ or about a 4-foot length of iron pipe driven into the ground in a moist spot. A ground clamp should be Used to secure a good connection to the pipe and requires no soldering. Do not use a gas pipe for a ground as the joints of this pipe are insulated and make a very poor contact to the ground. A lightning arrester should be placed in the aerial lead to comply with tKe fire underwriters rules. Make your gorund lead just as short as possible for best results.
