Send in your card of acceptance for the high school alumni banquet on the 28th. You will enjoy every minute of it. Have you dropped your dollar in the Good Fellow fund? Do it today and help some poor boy or girl have a happier Christmas. Turn the lights on in your showwindows tonight. Let the people know what you have. Tie your store up with newspaper advertising. It all helps. Don't let the Good Fellow s club fall down. At present we are told, the fund is slightly behind the same time last year. It shouldn't be. The money thus raised goes to help provide a Merry Christmas for the boys and girls who will otherwise be deprived of a visit from old Santa. Light up your store fronts, merchants During the past week we have heard a dozen or more people talk about how they enjoy window shopping. Surely at this time of year, you should have an attractive window and have it lighted in the evenings, at least until nine or ten o’clock. Its easy to tell a live city when you drive through it. We have a bloc in congress again but according to the early tests, they will not cut enough figure to prevent the republican majority from going ahead with any program they mayhave in mind to reduce taxes or aid prosperity or help the farmer. The people are expecting these things now as they have for the past six years. Before the G. O. P. gave as an excuse. the blocs. Now its up to them to make good or admit they can’t. We re not so poor in Indiana. This year we paid $38,320,796.62 income taxes. Over 1,500 people in the state paid revenue on incomes greater than $25,000 and there were exactly 114,751 individuals who had to pay something. We had an idea from the gloomy reports that every body in the state had been hit By the slump, but evidently some folks make money even when times are not extra. By the way, that's a thought—no difference what the times are, some one is making money and getting ahead and you can do it too, if you will. Donald McDaniels. who assisted Russell Barone in the Treble bank hold up during which Clarence Smith, the cashier was slot, and who was sentenced to a term of from five to fourteen years in prison will now go free, though he has served !e«e than a third of the maximum sentence, Governor Jackson having commuted his sentence. Its such relief from deserved punishment which breeds crime in this country. The criminal knows he will most probably escape

with liss than the minimum punijiment and is therefore the more likely to take chances on crime. The wave will not be stopped by patting gardened criminals on the back. President Coolidge is developing absent mindednees. Ho has two overcoats, a heavy one and a light one, and to show the people ot the middle west. that he is fixed tor all kinds ot weather, took them both on his trip west. When he lett his hotel at Chicago, he were the light top coat and left his ulster there Row what do you suppose his seerfetary, secret service jnen, military aides and other attendants were doing?

Seems as though they could have patronized the government's parcel post department and saved money. The troubles of the state highwaycommission have been charged to the state board of accounts by newspaper reports. It seems that Lawrence Orr, the chief, has it in for the road department and some of its members and is spending thousands of dollars of the state’s money to appease his appetite for revenge. His latest move was an effort to secure a special session of the legislature, which of course he won't get, for it would stir up too many things just on the eve of an election. It has been suggested by the Vincennes Commercial that some investigation of the account board might prove a good thing and at least tend to give the road commission a little chance to work at highway improvement. Botli in country roads and city streets, millions and millions of dollars have been expended in construction of macadam foundations, which, prior to advent of motor vehicles, were quite adequate to economically carry traffic, but under present conditions absolutely inadequate. While there are exceptions, a national authority on reffid construction says: ‘Where macadam roads exist (whether of stone, gravel or slag) they form a basts for economic salvaging of past expenditure in reconstruction to meet modern conditions, by surfacing with asphalt.” This is true whether or not the so-called macadam or old material is sufficient in depth to provide adequate foundation. Il is certainly deep enough to salvage and build upon with new material, rather than to excavate the old and start fresh, with its attendant waste of expenditure.

Dec. 9 — (United Press.)— • Hazel" would not b P an epicurean treat, tor she's old, but she weighs five pounds, and each of those pounds I is worth 11.009.

Hazel is one of the queens of the show. One of the kings is "Red Top,” whose chanticleerean voice sounded loudly early today as ht* proclaimed his market value of $3,000. But though Red Top also can boast of unusual value. h« can't match Hazel in one respect. She holds the Michigan state egg laying record, producing 293 in 366 days, lain Hazel is the property of George 8., Ferris, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Red Top belongs to Ivan J.
