Urbahns, treaaiyer of state and one of the popular republican political leaders of Indiana, died last night as the result of an operation which lie underwent the first of the week and from which it was believed until a few moments before he died, lie would recover. Almost without warning, old King Winter doubled back last night and the mercury in weather testing devices dropped thirty-five degrees to a point near zero. The storm came from western Canada, riding down on us on a stiff breeze and covered practically all of the middle and western states. Indications are that it will

continue several days at least, and may get worse. Coach Center’s basket ball squad again demonstrated their worth by defeating the champions of southern Indiana. Vincennes, on their own floor last night, with ten imints to spare. The locals are strong and if they keep up their improvement, don't permit ] these vieotortes to turn their heads and listen to their instructors, may 1 again have’ to be reckoned with in the 1 national tournament at Chicago in | March. With indications that interest in the church services which have been in progress two weeks will re/cb the 1 highest point tonight and that excellent results will follow the effort of < the pastors, all who have been hoping for this are pleased and delighted. Plans for taking advantage of the con- t central ion of spiritual effort will vary in the different churches but there is no doubt that much good will result ( for the, community and that the meet- < lugs have been more than worth while. 1 And now we will probably have an- 1

other exhibition of the delayed and juggled justice. Martin Durkin, Chicago gftnman who admits killing one policeman and is charged and accused of numerous others is planning a sensational defense and will probably he defended by the famous Clarence Darrow. In the mfiantirne, the bandit sneers at police officials, detectives, authorities, calls them dumb and tells how easily one’can evade them. H’s punishment ought to be meted out this week and his mouth closed to this hilly chatter which encourages crime. We Hoosiers sure do burn it up these days, the statistics just now available disclosing that during the year 1925 we smoked 1,902,000,000 cigarettes and 178,500,000 cigars and 20,700,0)00 pounds of tobacco, spending >28,000,000 for the luxury. While we have less than one hundred manufacturing tobacco c'stab-li-hmrcnts in the state as compared to five hundred a few years ago. the businet:; like others has concentrated and the wage earners and the amount ot their earnings has doubled. The state produces eleven million dollars worth

of tobacco now and this crop in increas- 1 ing from year to year, Indiana now 1 ranking twenty-first in the nation as a ( tobacco growing section. The announcement of the sudden death of M. V. Ji. Archbold at Tampa. Florida, shocked his many friends here where lie (Jived for many years and was well known, fn his younger days, Mr. An tibold was a high powered book salesman and built a snug fortune in that work, being considered one of the best in tlieteuutfy lu a day when book agents were common. Later he en i

I gaged In business nt Fort Wayne, ' dealt in real estate iir Akron during the boom, took a flyer in establishing a modern restaurant In the downtown . section of Indianapolis and then joined ■ the Florida caravan, where ho was , making good in the real estate business. He had an excellent personality and was able to make and bold [ friends. - - J Americans took out fifteen billion i dollars worth of insurance last year, ’ breaking all record for this or any other country aud proving that conditions are not all bad everywhere. It has become as necessary to protect your life with insurance enough to meet obligations and leave an estate that will be of some benefit to your family as it is to proteol your buildings with fire, storm or other insurance. Success of your business depends some and often much on your own personality aud unless affairs can be carried on after you have’quit, until a reorganization can be effected, the loss is apt to be disastrous. To guard against such an emergency the wise people, growing wiser each year, are constantly increasing their life insurance. o BS3XX33SXKX3SSX3X 8 55 S TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 3 8 ——— 3 X From the Daily Democrat File 3 X Twenty Years Ago This Day 3 8 * 833X3333X33 83333 8 Jan. 22—Auditor Lewton files an-1

MESSRS. SHUBERT ANNOUNCE . THE COMING OF “THE STUDENT PRINCE” AT THE MAJESTIC ' Loal theatre-goers and lovers of music and operetta will rejoice at. the ro- I port corning from the offices of Messrs. Ahnliert in New York, that the oper3tta “Tlie Student Prince," which has been running more than a year in ' New York, is to lie presented at the Majestic theatre Fort Wayne for thhee lays, starting Thursday night, Jare iary 28, with a Saturday matinee. 'The Student Prince” is one of th? most important musical offerings of he < enlury and far exe.ecdp in, beauty and lovliness its far famed piertecescors, “Blossom Time” and “Maytimc." In addition to the New York company, line oth‘-r companies arc presenting the operetta in the principal cities of the country. Th" general public is always right. Whenever it crowds a theatre for a musical or dramatic production, yon may well com hide that something e*traordinary is being offered. That is lust the case with "The Student Prince'' in the cities where it is being 1 shown. This is the observation of one of

the leinlhig critics of New York after he had seen "The Student Prince" for the fourth time. ’lie was standing in the lobby of Jotson's Theatre, as the outgoing audience passed him with exclamations of delight at the performance they liad just seen and heard. The pertcclty balanced singing company, the student chorus of (?) male voices from (lie loading music studios of New York, the elaborate conturning and sotting, and the operatic prclw&tra are all factors which have determined the first place which ‘The Student Prince' holds in the affections oi the people. ‘The Student Prince" has book and lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly, author of]

THE FOLLY OF ENVY Wo are a curious race at best Sees us light Jiegrted for a day We hear the laughter and we see And wishes as we go our way Gay pleasure as it seems to be. Such simple pleasures he could boast We know when jnen are richly dressed. We never guess his load of care Or see the burden of his years We measure <|uic.kly on the spot He never thinks about our fears The comforts of another’s place. Or just how much we have to bear. Wealth always wears a smiling face But, oh, how different seems our lot! Laughter we hear and then believe Another’s skies are always fair, We think contentment and delight We seldom think about his care Which we so dearly long to own Or that he, too gnay also grieve. Always to someone else are known While we spend many a troubled (flic secs the'luxury and pride ni Eht. One sees the simple joys of man. Aud each forgets in life's great plan But often he we envy most To all is perfect peace denied. (Copyright 1925 Edgar A. Guest

The impression still prevail Hiat the cowboys are roaming the streets of this country and that North America is a regular wild and woolv west.
