Friday is Christmas. Are you all ready? Have you subscribed something to the Good Fellows Club? Thats very important. A week from tonight comes the high school banquet and its going to be a good old reunion with a lot of interest. It begins to look like Christmas, feel like it, almost taste like it. You have only a few days now in which to conclude your shopping for the big event. We know of a dozen homes that are to be erected •during the coming year, a good sign and indications are for a splendid growth during 1926. AVhy not look up the plans and get things started for a new house to live in or rent? W e ought to build a hundred homes the next spring. Democrats in congress are favorable to the thx bill and are assisting the president in a world court that it is hoped will make it more difficult to go so war and in both movements are wise. The people of course want the lowest taxes commensurate with good business ideas and they are against war. These things should be above politics. If you have a dollar or two left after your Christmas shopping is complete, drop it in one of the Good Fellow boxes. A dollar there means a lot of happiness and Christmas cheer for some poor boy or girl and will realy provide more sincere Christmas joy than a lot of dollars

otherwise spent. Florida democrats are booming Colonel William Mitehell of airplane . fame for president, declaring he is the one 111411 who can unite the McAdoo and Smith factions, build a virile organization and sweep the country. He would prove a popular candidate if he continues along the Rooseveltian line of fighting for what he thinks is right. Hartford City is making quite a howl because the congressman over there lias gone to sleep and that city of 7,000 or 8,000 is without a postoffice building and is not even mentioned in the list of entries through the present session which seems inclined to provide a pork barrel. The Evening News has started a campaign to jab Congressman Hunt into a realization of the fact that Hartford City has a plifce on the map of Indiana. Riverside Park at Indianaplois is to hereafter be known as Tour-Taggart Park if plans now being made are concluded. Mr. Taggart wtien mayor of the city many years ago, bought 1,400 acres of land for park purposes. He was accused and charged and cussed at the time, but now they see how far ahead he was looking and wish to honor him. Thats the way of the world. ( Colonel Billy Slitcucl! is a long ways from being a “down and outer.” The movies now being shown give the close of the trial and disclose the fact that the people at Washington as welf-w; over the country are for the colonel. When he emerged from the room he was wildly cheered while the five generals who formed the court-martial failed to get a single smile or whoop. Mitchell may be of-
