A Fort Wayne man named Viener got hold of some cheap moonshine, drank it and became a raving maniac whom the police could scarcely handle. He riled after twenty-four hours of suffering, a tragic ending that should be the best lesson to those who feel inclined to indulge in the habit. Might us well drink tarbolic acid as some of the so-called whiskey now on the market it seems. A press dispatch from Washington and supposed to be authentic, declares “that tire wear on macadam , roads Is seventeen times as great ns . on hard surface roads." It is such ridiculous assertions that make us ( lose confidence in statements issued ( for public consumption from the | capitol. It is not often that a tire ( wears out in two thousiftid miles of ( travel and we are looking- for the tire ( that would go 34,000 miles even on ( concrete or brick roads. There "ain't , no sich animal” and those who issue j such statements know it I | So accustomed are people of Our , Country to continuous telephone service, night or day, weekday, Sunday ( or holiday, that is is difficult for Americans to appreciate that this condition is not typical of telephone service throughout the world As a mat- , ter of fact, continuous service is ex- , (■optional in most foreign countries, j Outside of national capitals and larg- j est cities, all-night service is quite ( unusual. In Germany and Belgium ( less than 5 per cent of telephone ex- , changes give uninterrupted service; ( in France less than one per cent. Still ( another feature in European tele- ( phone service, is luncheon interval j between 12 and 2 p. m., when many ( exchanges are closed. ( — ! England is to launch two great . battleships, which will, it is claimed, , excell anything now afloat and again ( make them masters of the seas, a , somewhat surprising thing to most of ( us who supposed that when this na- j lion junked a hundred million dollars , worth of naval equipment, including . one ship on which thirty million dol- , lars had been expended and was just nearing completion, there would be no further efforts to siuild the great < dreadnaughts. Indications are that < England will try to maintain her lead < as a naval nation and will probably ( force this country to expend a billion or two to match or excel them. Well we can do it if we have to. As the close of the two weeks revival in seven Decatur churches and ‘ a number of others in the rural dis- < tricts of the county nears, interest tr on the increase and according to several reports the attendance last , evening was the largest so far since i the meetings started. The programs are good, the cause is one that no one will deny as important a unification of effort along one lino at the. same time —that the greatest results may follow and that we may all realize how few days are spent on earth where we are to prepare for a better and greater life. It is well for every community to relax from duties occasionally aud take Inventory of themselves. ' We congratulate tin Miller Bakery on the progress trade by them and the realization of one of their dreams to build and "quip a modern establishment to take care of the constantly increasing patronage. Such things do not just happen. They come be-

The company has advanced during a period of a halt dozen years until they now produce from 12,000 to 15.000 loaves of bread week- ** and supply this and surrounding communities with various forms of pastry. We hope they continue to step forward and that this is but the commencement of a greater business for Charles Miller and his sons. The passing es Edwin France, of Pleasant Mills, will leave a vacant spot in the hearts of hundreds of people who knew him well, admired him for his sterling qualities and loved him because of his good deeds, his desire to serve and to help every one he could, his loyalty to friends and his fine personality. For many years he, has been an outstanding figure in his community and a leader fn those things inaugurated for the public good. He gave of his time, ability and earnings for church or community or individual and was a character from the old school whose place will be hard to fill in this day. We regret his death and we join his many friends in extending to the bereaved ones sincerest sympathies. His life should be an example for the younger generations for he was hap piest when doing something (or some one. always serving, always helping.

Interest in it 4s more keen than usual, because it follows so closely upon the success ful attempt made on New Year’s Eve to encircle the globe by radio. On this occasion, music played in Lon don was rebroadcast through nine , stations in the United States to all parts of this country, Canada, Cuba. Bermuda and South America; while a i program from New York was picked , up in England and Continental Europe and relayed to listeners abroad. Perhaps the crowning achievement of this experiment, conducted by the Radio Corporation of America, was when engineers at the London station heard their own program rebroadcast from Schenectady, New ‘Yor. The test was declared entirely satisfactory and demonstrated the ultimate possibility of uniting the world by radio. o ♦ + ♦ + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< * Big Features Os 4 * RADIO 4 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Thursday's Five Best Radio Features (Copyright 1926 by United Press) C'FCA, Toronto, 357 M, 8:30 p. m. —Hamburg String Quartette.

Rises From Taxicab Driver To Presidency Os Yellow Cab Company Chicago. Jan 20.-(Unlted Press)From taxicab driver to the president ' •of one of the nation's biggest business enterprises—a true story that rivals fiction —was revealed today as ( hath * W. Gray took up his new duties as president of the Yellow Cab Company. Gray was elected to the presidency at the company’s annual meeting. H< succeeds John Hertz, founder of the Yellow Cab system, who becomes chairman of the board of directors. Twenty years ago, Gray stepped out of a responsible position as treasurer of a failing Chicago newspaper. After casting about for work, he decided to become a taxi driver. He became a chauffeur for the Saw Com, pany, which later was merged with the Yellow Cab Company. His genial personality and his knowledge of the city gained through his newspaper experience, made his taxicab the most sought for in the .city. From "ace of chauffeurs" he was promoted step by step in the growing organization until the pinnacle was reached. "Work and cooperation." those were the only words of advice Gray had to offer today to young men aspiring to bigger jobs. "Work hard and be 100 per cent loyal to the fellows you are working
