Some otto with a lot of time hue i figured it out that only one-fourth of 1 the people who own automobiles, also own bath tubs. A survey of fifteen ! thousand rural homes revealed that fact and also that sixty per cent use ' the old hickory wash board, sixty- 1 seven per cent draw water from wells 1 and pumps outside the house ami * seventy-three per cent do not have drains under the kitchen sink. The survey was made for a Chicago business organization which desired to know the needs of the people gen<J erally. . i The present congress is "four-flush-ing" on the farmer’s problems as usual, trying to make them think they are doing something without doing it. That kind of a program will ' never satisfy the producers of our 21 food products and the wonder is that the big business men and political leaders ar e not smart enough to see a j; it. After they have finished and Mr. Lowden, of Illinois, gets through read- * ing the pedigrees, there will be some- 1 thing doing over the country for the ’* average farmer has about reached a 1 point of demanding his rights and a sticking to it. _________ r One of the things that will be i< brought out by the Limberlost Trail P organization will be the fact that •' northeastern Indiana is rich in his- I torical lore. When we speak of Indi- t ana history we naturally think of t Vincennes, Corydon, Madison and the <i south part of the state because of the n publicity given to events which oc- * curred there. Ito you realize that for H many years a continous warfare existed between the whites and the Indians ami that they battled up and ♦ down the St. Marys river? All these * and other items of interest will be made a matter of record by the association and efforts made to make 1 <the trail the most attractive in the • midfile west. The first week of the revival ser- 1 vices being conducted by seven ' churches in this city was a great success and tlfe crowds at the Sunday Schools and church services yester- <. day thrilled the pastors and those who are assisting them. They hope f to make this week even better than J last and to awaken the people to such , an extent that the good results will be felt during the entire year. Ser- ( vices will resume this evening and i continue throughout the week and j every one is urged to attend. Those • S interested in the two weeks special j services are grateful to all organ- ? S izations and individuals who have > co-operated in leaving the field of activities open for these two weeks r The organization meeting of the j 4Adams County Agricultural assoclaition will be held at the high school 1 • auditorium on the evening of' Tues- ( day, January 26th and it promises to j .be a real event. Besides the organ- > . ization a wonderful entertainment is /to be given and the public is invited ' /to this open meeting at which time 1 /will occur a discussion of those things j /of greatest interest to the people of thb county who believe in this kind i >of an association and its purpose. • Mr. and Mrs. Williamson are working,' .hard to make the event a excess J -and to make the organization such a one as will have in jnind the up ing and betterment of this county and community.

Those who have been surprised at the rapid growth In of Florida might do well to remember that Indiana has a city which has shown (be most wonderful substantial rise In all the history of America. The city of Gary is just twenty this year and has one industry—steel—with a valuation of $150,000,000. The city has grown from a handful of people to a city of 85,000 and is still going The pay roll at the Gary steel plant is fifty million anuuitily with

some thing real to build on, and they are planning to expend something like thirty million this year. Its a real section when it comes to industry and there will be no let up there for many years. Senator Norris, a western republeap started the fireworks Saturday by an attack on President Coolidge, who he charged with violating the federal laws by bargaining with appointees and filing in his desk a resignation to be used in case of disagreement or embarrassment of any kind. It doesn't mean muMi except that the president will find the next three years of his career rather difficult to meet if he really expects to be a candidate again. He will be attacked and accused and ridiculed and will find that by the time 1928 rolls around he will not be the 100% idol of his party. Politics is a slippery game and no man is perfect enough to meet all requirements. Usually the president is very popular the first few years but when the politicians get ready to unload him they quickly build a reverse public sentiment. It begins to look as though they may be after Calvin's scalp and if they are they will get it. o ♦ ♦ + + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * • RADIO * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright, 1926, by United Press) WJZ, New York, 454-M and WGY, KOA, KGO, WBZ, KYW, KDKA, WRC. 9:30 p. m.

This means that with the same favorable atmospheric conditions, thousands of Americans will hear Eruope direct on their radio receivers January 24-31, International Radio Week. Probably several millions heard the rebroadcasting of Europe, even far out on the Pacific ocean, dut to the successful cooperation of American stations. It ha.s been the good fortune of very few, comparatively, to get the cupreine thrill of listening to London, Paris, Berlin, or Madrift directly. In all probability an enormous audience of enthusiasts will have that pleasure during this big radio week. From the standpoint of the vast radio audience, therefore, we arc entering a marvellous year of entertain meiff and education through the medium of the llerzian w aves. Higher power used by the' principal stations, excellent receiving apapratus, and superior programs on which will appear notables in every field of endeavor, all combine Io justify superlatives of enthusiasm. A home without a radio set in 1926, to a. very large extent, certainly far more so than ever before, will be out of touch with world events in music, politics, science and economics. Joe Ostermeyer, of Monroeville, was a business visitor here this morning.

Fears Birth Os C hild Would Spoil Husband’s Career; Wife Ends Life Omaha, Neb., Jan. 18. — (United Press) —Because she feared approaching motherhood would spoil the chances of her husband graduating from medical college, Mrs Helen Whalen, 19-year-old bride of Thomas Whaien, committed suicide by shallow.i ing poison here, Sunday. Whaien is a second year medical student at tjie University of Omaha. 1 He and his girl wife had been dis- ' cussing the future and the wife became convinced that the expense of bearing the. child would be so great that her husband t would be forced to ghe up his school work before gradua--1 tion. “When I die I want to die fast.” Mrs. Whale remarked as she left the room ’ following the conversation. A few moments later, Whalen heard a scream in her bedroom. Rushing to the room 1 he found his wife on the floor. She had mixed a number of poisons with ' which her husband had been experimenting and drank them. Efforts at. rosusieitation were futile and she died within an hour.

Fundamental Facts And I air Truths

B. E. IL Williamson Manager of Northern Indiana Fair Perhaps no finer example of the' value of organized efforts in the interests of publie good is to be found any where than in the progress and development of the fairs in America, it is 1 an old adage that to get» a good start means much for the ultimate success in any enterprise. And the founders of a fair not only sensed a great opportunity for aid to agriculture, the 1 basis industry of the land, in the establishment of fairs, lint courageously went about the building of a program which has stood the test of time in full vigor of helpful service. To these pioneers, agriculture owes a debt of gratitude, for while the institution lias broadened to meet the development of progress with each succeeding year, fair managements have not overlooked their committment to agriculture as a first consideration, thus following in the footsteps of the pioneer founders .of the fairs in America. The fair is an inspirational place to go—it generates action and life—the picture is always changing—something j is constantly taking place—and the [crowds seem to feel the possibi'ity of I missing attractions they should see, ’ and lienee the moving interest every where present. The competitive spirit [evident in all displays is really contagious, and one finds the crowd taking sides with all the interest of own- ‘ ership when a close contest is being ■ staged, in this concern enthusiasm there is real value —the creation of substantial interest in the exhibit reflects results of worth not only for '. those directly contributing to the cx'hibition but to those attracted to the contest as well. Do you know that the fair is, in ' reality, one of the greatest educational ' institutions in America? Where else ' can you go for such ripened informa'jtiou and learn so much at so little cost of time and money? Here you ’ witness, the best that industry produces; here the very last word in farm products and garden exhibits; here blooded stock is brought forth ’ for your criticism and approval; poultry, domestic science, art, improved machinery, horticulture, boys’ and girls’ club work, the best in invention of motive power—all will be found on the grounds of any up-to-date fair. Production matchinf production, judgment being rendered by men and women with expert knowledge of their subject—follow the winner—there you 1 have it; therein lies the value, i 3he American public is a fair-going 1 public. While the fair is not a North ' American institution, it nevertheless, has made its greatest progress to its highest state of efficiency in the United 'States. The fair is the melting _ pot between the urban and rural popr illation; it is for all the people and not j for any class. That the urbran Inhab- . itant has been as eager to support , the fair as the rural brothers and sisters is clearly demonstrated by the growth and prestige to which fairs have attained i nthe thickly populated industrial centers of this country. 7 Millions of dollars are invested in fair property. Additional millions ace i. annually expended by the public in 7 visiting the fairs. They have the sup I port and backing of the strongest men • and women in every locality which, I in itself, is evidence of their intrinsic r'worth. The county fairs of this country must be depended upon to do the work i. ( that is absolutely uecossary to en-

courage industry, to encourage thrift, ito encourage the betterment of every line of work that there is in agriculture and industry. The county fair carrying on its function, the State fair picking up where they leave off and doing the larger work, then makes it possible for the average man in a state to get some direct benefit for himself, thereby enriching the community with his better knowledge through the fair which he attends. What Is A Fair We fair managers have accumulated many stock phrases descriptive of these great institutions, such as used by myself last year—Adams County’s Great Show Window, etc., but a fair is more than a show window. The agricultural fair should be looked upon as purely a civic obligation, from which no loyal citizen or business man can shrink. The lair is a community center and convention place, not only for the tillier of the soil and the.breeder of cattle, swine and poultry, but for the manufacturer, the tradesman and the qrtist, as we'd, it is the one annual convention in which each member of Hie family can take part and find something that will add to ills or her matcr'al wd'-being and euliglitenincnt. Let the stocliholders, of the Adams County AgrAuliural Association understand in the beginning, that the money they arq putting into this enterprise is goin gto establish and tiuilu an institution that for real worth and ability t 0 accomplish results for the city of Decatur, is on a par with the best C hamber of Commerce of America. That this fair is going to be a real asset in the growth and development of this city—that it is going to develop a better and more fruitful ter. ritory surrounding Decatur—that it is goingto do much to hera'd the city and county abroad in a most favorable way, that it is going to mean more business in which every live organization will share, Long live the fair—America's most useful and popular institution.
